Extraordinary Things to Cut Out and Collage Review & GIVEAWAY

Looking for great images? Look no further. WOW! This is Extraordinary Things to Cut Out and Collage by Maria Rivans. Choose from over 1,500 quality images selected and assembled by the pop-art collage artist herself. To use simply cut out and glue. The range is impressive! Images are organized by category - people, art and culture, technology, domestic life, built environment and the natural world. Most are in color. Some are in black and white, some sepia or other tones and filters. There are a few pages of repeating elements. A section of full-page images may be used as backgrounds for your collages. They include large elements, scenes and pin-up girls. All images are printed on large, single-sided pages. Each page is packed with an assortment of small, medium and large images. No space is wasted. This fabulous collection of images is ideal for collage, mixed media, artwork, vision boards or whatever you like. Some of my personal favorites are from the natural world section - leaves, animals, birds, fish, sea life, bugs and butterflies. Choose the image you want to use. Roughly cut around it to remove it from the page. Then cut the image out precisely. Alternatively remove the entire page by cutting along the dotted vertical line. Combine images to make one-of-a-kind art works or add to those collected from other sources. With this extensive collection at your fingertips finding great imagery is fast, easy and tidy. I love it! The table of contents is listed below. Laurence King Publishing released this 208 page paperback on April 2, 2020. Get your copy below!
