Like meditation or journaling, making collage can be an avenue for self-reflection and artistic exploration. In <em>Collage Your Life<\/em>, artist and teacher Melanie Mowinski teaches a variety of core techniques including lettering, stamping, stenciling, transfers, and adhesive methods, and provides dozens of prompts to jumpstart the creative process and encourage crafters to explore the versatility of collage, such as: make a self-portrait; disrupt your routine instincts; incorporate text; assemble mementos from a trip; process anger or anxiety; collage with others; or try creating block-out poetry with pages from a magazine. Inspiring examples of the author&#8217;s work along with that of other collage artists are featured throughout. Crafters, journaling fans, scrapbookers, and artists alike will find guidance and support for developing their own distinctive collage style, whether the goal is to create a visual record of daily experiences and special occasions or to expand a creative journaling practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE BOOK<\/strong><br>Collage Your Life<br>by Melanie Mowinski<br>224 pages; paperback<br>ISBN 978-16-35863-56-7<br>$22.95 USD<br>Published by <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hachettebookgroup.com\/imprint\/storey\/\" target=\"_blank\">Storey Publishing<\/a>, 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Purchase the book <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hachettebookgroup.com\/titles\/melanie-mowinski\/collage-your-life\/9781635863567\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Melanie Mowinski<br \/>\nStorey Publishing, 2022<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1245,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[97],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/collage-your-life-cover.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8O04t-k4","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1244"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1244"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1244\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1246,"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1244\/revisions\/1246"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1245"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1244"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1244"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1244"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
