Everyday Mindfulness: Collage Book for National Geographic Enthusiasts

From a talented author comes a gorgeous source of inspiration. The book is filled with a wide range of images, from fruit to architectural details to planets and beyond, totaling over 1500 objects. These images are separated into categories such as people, industrial, art & culture, domestic life, nature, world, ephemera, and alphabets.

Highly respected and successful collage artist Maria Rivans has gathered hundreds of beautiful, quirky, and downright daft images, all of which are available for you to cut out and use in your own creations. Let your imagination run wild! Flowers, birds, cats, and butterflies can be combined with buildings, eyes, moustaches, and men in dubious pants to create extraordinary original artworks and talking pieces.

To use this book, start by selecting the images you think will suit your scene. Use your scissors or craft knife to cut the image out precisely. After experimenting with the arrangement of your elements, choose your canvas and begin gluing! Firmly press down with your fingers or the palm of your hand in a smoothing motion, or use a roller to secure the elements in place. Make your own vision boards, birthday cards, and more!

Collage and decoupage are undergoing a revival among artists and hobbyists. If you too are seeking a mindful activity that also produces a beautiful end product, this book is for you! Whether you are making a mood or inspiration board or just want some unique art for your wall, there is no need to endlessly flip through old magazines to find appealing images.

With an introduction to collage styles and tips on techniques and composition, this is an ideal activity for artists of all ages and abilities. The book provides more than 1500 objects, background templates, a detailed introduction, and step-by-step guidance to help you create your own masterpieces.
