collage couture

I’ve always wanted to try my hand at paper collage. Not long ago I was privileged to take a class with collage artist and author, Julie Nutting. It was a perfect way to spend an afternoon, like playing paper dolls with friends, only better. (I highly recommend Julie’s classes if you ever have the chance. If not, try her charming and informative book, Collage Couture: Techniques for Creating Fashionable Art.)

A little bit like art quilting except with paper and glue, I definitely want to make more. Check out Julie’s book below. It has lessons in drawing fashion figures, as well as many collage techniques, different projects from paper art to wall pieces to gifts, and let’s not forget, a generous portion of eye candy.
