Alphabetica: An A To Z Creativity Guide For Collage And Book Artists

Riotously colorful and exploding with ideas, techniques, and inspiration, ALPHABETICA shares 14 artists' visionary takes on the theme of letters and numbers in a wide variety of collaged books. Fresh suggestions for using everything from found objects such as bottle caps, twigs, or a particularly well-shaped pebble, to vintage photographs and flea market finds are accompanied by numerous inventive pieces of collage art. Each artist has a spread discussing a particular technique--"Composition," "Transparences," and "Working with Fabric" are a few examples--as well as their inspirations and studio contents. Accompanied by full-color photographs and resources.
