Product Description:
Collage is a favourite activity for crafters at every level. It is fun and easy, but sometimes the results can be a little boring. Not anymore! 'Collage with Color' shows crafters how to create brilliantly coloured collages by decorating papers with acrylics, watercolours, and watercolour dyes. Author Jane Davies explains colour theory in clear, straightforward terms to ease the reader into working with the full spectrum without hesitation. Then she moves on to step-by-step demonstrations of such exciting techniques as spritzing and blotting, wet-in-wet, and 'free-form dripping.' With this wonderfully inspiring and simple book, anyone can create stunning collage projects packed with dynamic, exciting colour. Vibrant collages are perfect for scrapbooking pages, cards, gift bags, journals, altered books, and more. Collage with Colour will add colour to every crafter's life!

I really loved this book; it gave me new tools and ideas to work in my studio and to share with my friends and Alumni, from my art classes. I highly recommend it if you love to experience with colour in a creative new way.

What I like most about this book is that it is a refreshing break from all the Somerset Studio look alike and same-looking altered book stuff out there (yes, I was surprised--this also has a few altered book things in here, and they're different and mildly interesting). Wow. Originality. Getting ever harder to come by in the modern paper art/craft publishing world.
This book is actually more of a volume on paper decorating, with a bit of collaging principles and craft ideas included. This isn't bad. I read a lot of paper craft and art books, and I still found plenty in here that made me want to break out the paints and paper. And, as the title says, this is about color--how to decorate paper with it, how to combine it, how to make patterns with it. Unlike the previous reviewer, I didn't find the examples too bright. This is, after all, a book with "vibrant color" in the title. And here it is demonstrated by someone who truly understands it and is passionate about it. These examples sparkle.
This is refreshingly different. No faux edginess which just looks bland the thousandth time you've seen it, or works featuring people wearing pasted dunce caps. You will instead find a nice basic, lucid overview of colour concepts; great ideas for using acrylic paints to make interestingly decorated papers; and some ideas for combining these papers in aesthetically pleasing ways.

The author covers a lot of ground quickly here. While not as in-depth as Traci Bautista's "Collage Unleashed," Davies touches on many techniques and applications. The examples were way too bright for my tastes and didn't personally inspire me, but they work well as examples to see what's going on with the technique and provide a nice change of pace from the muted Victoriana that's so prevalent elsewhere. The photos also show the hand models with paint on them, which I really enjoyed after seeing many impossibly clean hands in other books. Yes! You will get paint on your hands and it's OK! I particularly enjoyed the Prayer Flags project, modelled after Tibetan prayer flags, and the Book Page Collage & Letter Stamps ideas.
