Absolutely LOVE this—there really isn’t another option on the market with the same quality and variety. I know a lot of customers, myself included, would looove a 2nd collage book from you! (I do see another one under the same author but it’s in French so I’m not sure if it’s a different version and it costs much more and charges shipping:/)
There’s an abundance of collage books on Amazon that are basically images on regular paper compiled into a book, which quite frankly, I can print myself in better quality at home. But this book is genuinely created with collage in mind. These pages feel luxurious from the smooth sheen (kinda like textbook pages) which retains the quality of the print so the images come out clear and in the correct colour. They’re also the perfect thickness to cut into with scissors or xacto knife but are not too thin that they’ll rip easily.
It’s clear the images are thoughtfully selected so that they’re suitable and legible for cutting up and can stylistically work together in a piece of artwork. You can choose your own backgrounds for the collages or there are several large backgrounds to help get you started. All in all, just a great collage book!!
