i like that the preliminary step for collage is to destroy.
Elijah Ragland I so relate to this!

The most important things about collage is to let your own unique style and expression to show through, and to enjoy the process. As an art student in a quite demanding program, collage is where I let loose during my free time. I love how I can create anything I want and do not have to worry about perfectionism, as I personally think the distressed, imperfect look adds charm.
Second, let your materials and spontaneous ideas guide you, and don’t worry if your collages look vastly different than each other (mine do!).
Lastly, keep your eye out for materials. Another man”s trash is a collager’s treasure.
THIS SO BEAUTIFUL AND INSPIRING MEREL I'M GONNA GO AND JOURNAL AGAIN AHHH THIS IS LOVELY MY HEART ACHES
Thank you so much!!
Awesome. I love the freedom you allow yourself by not overthinking and just having fun.
Thank you. I'm a long-time collage maker but you still have wonderful ideas for me. It's always possible to learn. I love your galaxy sheet. I've done something similar w/gold paint on reddish brown paper, and never once thought of making a night sky. A deep blue or purple would be lovely as well. When I find words I want to use in a book I'm keeping, I make a photocopy, sometimes on color paper, and cut that out. Same for heirloom family photos. I have also sometimes hand lettered the words. Thank you again for these great ideas, Merel.
Omg thank you. I have an assignment to do and I was freaking out about how to even do it as I had no idea what a collage is... your calm way of speaking really helped ease my anxiety and now I'm excited to do the assignment. Thank you ^-^
Tertu Ndokosho I’m so glad it helped! Good luck with your assignment ❤️

AH I LOVE YOUR VOICE CAN YOU JUST BE THE VOICE FOR EVERYTHING
that's amazing ! thank you for this inspiration! Can't wait to try !!!
Love it!
You have so creative mind
Who else felt hit when she cut the books.
Haha! The books that I use, are vintage and pretty cheap. Also, when I like a book, I often keep two copies of it, so it doesn't hurt too much when I use the other copy for my journal :)
I did feel an initial tug of my heartstrings; but, I told myself that repurposing is the same as recycling, so nothing was lost.😉
No, that book got a new life as art which is beautiful. Also I guarantee that the book exists in thousands of other copies across many libraries and in digital copies. Books (no material thing for that matter) are not sacred.
personally i use a old beat up book my teacher gave me, i wanna get a second copy cause it was a good book
I just tear out gloassarys, I still feel guilty though
Beautiful 💙💙
I really liked this and now I know how to use those dresses catalogs i have . Thank you for sharing 💗

You should invest in a tape runner or glue pen to prevent using too much glue! Great video, Thank you for making it
That's true! Nowadays, I use my glue stick most of the time to prevent using too much glue!
This is such a great video. I love your channel. I thought it funny though that you cut a page out of my favorite story book ever! That's one book I wouldn't be able to do that to! lol
Thank you! That book is really great indeed. You can always have an extra copy of it and keep that without tearing pages out of it haha.
How about a photo collage for a project at school?
Which song it is in the background? 😊
where did u get the book with the white,brown,and black paper
It's available in almost every book or craftstore in the Netherlands, but I bought this one at a Dutch shop called 'Boekenvoordeel'!
Thanks
What is the glue?
How can we make a collage on the
Freedom figgters in india shape.......
Great video! I am also a collage artist - I started a journal a while ago, still working on it. I have some collage tutorials in my channel as well.
very nice..
The "flow" magazines are lovely, but extremely expensive!!!
If it doesn't fit into your budget, you might also be able to get older magazines at markets or online. And the Flow Paper Book is made for collage projects, but of course you can create collages with anything else you have at home :)
noice
That what I meant by art

How to make a collage about being active?
What are some of your fav magazines to use in your journal?
Eryn Shipley My favorite magazines to use are Vogue, Flow Magazine (it’s a creative inspiring one here in the Netherlands) or any other fashion related magazine! ☺️
You didn’t ruin pages that got glued together. You added character and interest. Tfs
sheeshhh
