- Hi there! I'm Rosie and we're collaging on a larger scale than I usually work and I am going to attempt to include as many images and as much detail as I can. Will it turn out cool or looking like a hot mess???

Creating a handmade custom DIY surreal art collage is easy! I share my tips and techniques on how I create my analog collages as I cut out pictures and illustrations out by hand with a small pair of scissors and a craft knife. Finding inspiration from old books is one of the most fun steps to this process. These can come from used books, encyclopedias, magazines, vintage postcards, or anything else you can find lying around your house. I find most of my books and magazines from thrift stores, antique stores, flea markets, Craigslist, or even on the side of the road! Watch as I arrange my elements and try different ideas as I talk through my process to create my final design.
Collages made out of paper have a custom made feel that you can't get from a digital collage made in Photoshop. And, there is an added challenge of only being able to use materials that you have access to!
Want to try creating your own? Just grab a magazine, scissors, and a glue stick!

Rosie, out of the plethora of videos I have watched on so many different forms of art, I find the art that you make the most fun and enjoyable to see. I am astounded at how well you integrate pictures into each other and make things work. Sometimes, at the beginning of your video I think, "oh man, how will she pull this off?'" then at the end I am so impressed with what you have done. Thank you for sharing your process and thinking while you are making your art. It helps me to have something to think about too. Before this becomes a book, I will end with this. Keep it up and have fun with your art. You rock!
Oh wow thank you for all the kind words!! I surprise myself sometimes with the combinations I'm able to pull off. I'm glad you're enjoying watching my process :)
I couldn’t agree more!!!!
I really like chaotic collages. This one is awesome. I always like your work Well done.
I love this!
Seriously, I don’t think you have made a collage that I haven’t been impressed by. I just love the way you talk through your process which in turn allows me to see it too, and to watch how it works when you bring it all together. You are very skilled at doing this. It is good also to see what doesn’t work as well as what does. Thank you for sharing your talent with us it is a pleasure to watch.
I feel like this is what the inside of my brain looks like. Beautiful artwork Rosie
HAHA love this!
Rosie, thank you for continuing to experiment and challenge yourself. I’m halfway through the video and it may be one of my favorite vids. The most important aspect to me about collage (and art in general) is the process and willingness to try something different. One of the things I struggle most with is acceptance from others when it comes to sharing my art (on IG, nextdoor, in general) but at the end of the day as long as I love it that’s what matters. Peace and happy collaging. ✌️
Ok finished the vid. Badass. I think most people like simplicity but not me. It’s complicated and like you said, so much to take in and look at. Art like this takes a lot of time and patience. It rarely gets the recognition it merits. Bravo 👏
Now can you make a video about how much gluing sucks! Or the best techniques on how to glue? I use UHU, sometimes yes paste, sometimes modge podge, sometimes nuvo craft glue. Thinking of trying matte medium sometime. Anyway, really interested in gluing TECHNIQUES if you have any insight. Thanks!
Totally agree that as long as you're having fun and loving your art, that's all that matters! I HATE glueing! My least favorite part of the process haha
Why are you worried about what other people think of your art? Are you doing this for others?
LOVE this attitude!!
Hey Rosie! You do YOU...don't worry about anybody else.
I love the chaos of this collage, its so fun and whatever you do you always pull it off! 😁😁🌼
I often use what is known as the 'top down' glue method you tack the pieces together where they touch then turn it over and completely cover the back and glue it down in one go... Speeds things up and you don't lose where they are on your page. It takes a bit of getting used to but it usually works out well, then you can always go back and glue any bits and pieces that are still not stuck! 😊😊
I hope that's helpful 💖
Rosie, I think you will just have to learn to live with the fact that you are a natural talent!!
It is quite busy, but you never get bored looking at it. Always something different to see. If it makes you happy and makes you smile that's what counts. I'm sure we'll keep watching you have fun and we'll gather ideas.
LOVE this! The giggle and smile tests are a must!
I absolutely loved your finished collage.it is definitely different from your normal style. I would love to see you do more of these.
i prefer the collages that u used to make.
The eyes are the making of this one 👁👁
I love it. It's so interesting how you put the pieces together almost like a jigsaw puzzle. This is inspiring!
Trust your gut …your creative gut! Be your first best enjoyer of your own art! TFS, Kathleen
Love this!
Love this! Art is what your imagination conjures up! Even the Mona Lisa doesn't appeal to everyone. So have fun...cut and glue...just do you!!!
Love it! So fun to look at. TYFS
Very fun piece Rosie. I loved something totally different. It stretches the imagination
Yes! Gotta challenge yourself sometimes.
I LOVE this piece, Rosie! I am drawn to “busy and strange” pieces and this one certainly checks those boxes. Amazing colors, background scenes and images from across the spectrum leave this piece open to interpretation. I’m sure one hundred different individuals will interpret it in one hundred different ways and find many things to love about it. I adore it and am so glad you chose to share the process. You are amazing! I do have once question though, where’s Waldo?? 😂😂
Where is he? V funny
Wow wonderful work 👏👏👏👏👏👏 good luck my dear friend ❤️ New friend here 💕 stay connected 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you. I was wondering how to hide the transitions on larger substrates.
I have learned a lot about making collages from watching your videos.
Loved it! I was a bit dubious in the beginning because of the quantity of images you pulled out, but you masterfully arranged them to make a super-cool collage. Thank you!
Love it!!!
I love it!
Love it!
I think it's so fun and fantastic! I'd love to do something in this style but I feel like I have a hard time finding a starting point. I also struggle with gluing things down into the right places without destroying everything! I could use any tips on how to do this without making a complete disaster! I especially appreciated that you showed yourself playing and having fun with the arrangements. I often overthink things and I'm very new to collages so it reminds me to have more fun with it. I too have an issue with people thinking my pieces are too simple. lol
ahem, I like your original style better. I always see the message that your collage sends and the mood it creates. This type - I don't feel it. Too many things, and they are too different, I don't feel the connection, it does not speak to me. But I'm new to collage so I do not know if it is a lack of understanding or if it's like a virgin eye view. Anyway, just another opinion, and hey, you asked for it😜
Well, it was educational. We learned how to manage transitions to fool the eye. We learned there’s always a way to make dolls creepier. 👀 You gotta do you, and you’re pretty fascinating. Your fussy-cutting is top rate! I always marvel at that. There’s always something to like. Art expands minds. I feel mine expanding now. 🎑+🧠=💥
LOVE, LOVE this! My mind has problems thinking "outside the box"...so this is a great practice option for me! Thanks tons💯👍😉
This collage would be a great jigsaw puzzle. I am, however, a card-carrying member of Jigsaws Anonymous since the time I stayed up for 24 hours straight doing jigsaws. Sigh. The struggle is real.
Wow, this was so fun to watch! It is very colorful and you just made the images work. The city buildings are a great background. Though a bit different, your style and imagination shine through.👏🏻🌈🏙
I really loved this one! That was a good challenge for yourself I think!
Hi Rosie--I appreciate how you used color and object repetition to make all the disparate pieces "hang together!" The repeated use of the turquoise blue in the "eyes", bird, and water, and the repetition of the rainbow hues in the bird, hot air balloons, and the literal rainbow coming from the dolls eyes! Plus all the eyes!
Principles of good design!
Wow!I really like how you made it all so cohesive ,even though they are all totally different 😍👏🏻every awesome. I def need to give this a shot. For some reason I've hit a creative block lately but looking at this video I've been inspired,thank you.❤️
Wow! Fascinating and fun. I love that you tell us your thinking process. I look forward to more collages.
You should call this one Dreaming with Hironymous Bosch.
I really like it. It reminds me of when I use to collage over chipboard boxes with magazine pages to completely cover it. I did it for decoration more of less. I considered it to be an expression of art as well. I enjoyed t the process very much. I love working with architecture and home decor items mostly. Thank you for sharing your process. It was definitely worth watching. Have a great day.
Thanks for such an inspirational video, Rosie. I usually stick to 8 x 10 or 9 x 11, but I went to DeSerres on the weekend and saw some MASSIVE canvases. Your video may be the push I need to try a larger piece. We get pretty weird with small sizes, so sky's the limit on a bigger canvas! I love how yours turned out. So much more Rosie to admire :)
Hi Rosie, I am always looking forward to your videos. I truly love your normal style. Not so much the busy one. There is too much going on for my taste. But I recoqnize your humor.
Aaaammmmaizing. I also do collages, but very different then yours. You are an inspiratikn and always learn from you. I love this one sooooo much cause is closer to what I do and I like it more cluttered. I have a problem with simple. I love all your collages. You are amazing
I like it! Collaging is fun no matter how it is tackled! Thank you!
This is FABULOUS 💃💃I love this kind of collage where …. When you look at it.. you say…It could happen🤣
I love your style of collage, I love everything you make. Keep up the great videos and I will keep watching.Love ya 😃❤️👍
great job completely jumping out of your comfort zone!! it turned out awesome, i hope you do more detailed ones like this. i work in a large sketchbook so a lot of times i have to bring in several similar images like you did with the cities. it's fun!! tyfs 💜
I make this style all the time...at the end I'm usually shocked that there is a message in it; I'm not a true abstractionist. Someone else said that it looks like their brain...at my last showing someone said it looked like their bulletin board at home...LOL. Whatever the end result, these types of collage are my favorite to do.
I love the new style! I love your crispy clean collages also but THIS really appeals to me!
Hi Rosie - I am new to your channel and love this first video that I watched! I've always been trying to figure out how to assemble the wacky collage which is way different than what I've been doing. My collages have to make sense to me. I'd like to see more of these wacky collages for sure.
I definitely prefer your usual style of collaging more, but this was neat
I just realised I was binge watching your collages so subscribed. These are a LOT of fun.
I thought perhaps the would fail at first but then I thought if anyone could pull it off, you could. I was surprised by how much I liked it at the end. !!
I love it, rosie. Loved your process as usual. So many pieces that you played with. I would have been lost. Good job
I feel like this is one of my favs this is more my collage style. I feel like I can say a lot with the chaos too. It just feels more like my reality then simplicity a lot of the time. But omg I totally feel what I said about the more minimalist approach to your art and how more open the message can be. I think both Sykes have meeting points of depth. I love your art bro
I like your surreal style collages better- tho I still like this one- I like how real you sometimes make those surreal collages look. You amaze me. I like it that you’re trying new things too!
Absolutely love how you have managed to pull all of this cool stuff together into an awesome huge collage! It's fantastic.
That was awesome. Please do more of these also. I love the different ways you incorporate everything together into a whole piece
I like the cumulative effect of all those cities. And the cans of beans looked like another set of row houses, so that tied in. I would have liked to see how the face would have turned out too.
Really love this! Thanks so much for sharing. ❤️
What a fun way to challenge yourself! I like the busy-ness of it. 😊👍💖
I agree, it's different from your usual creations, and it's pretty busy, but I do like it. =)
It’s beautiful but I prefer your regular style. You are an amazing artist.
I really like it!
It’s a great idea to use those images that are just stored away and keeps you looking around for strange and interesting combinations.
Yes! I always forget about them and I bet they are sad and lonely in there haha
What kind of tape did you use?
I used Scotch Adhesive Transfer Tape 924. Its super helpful to get things down quickly. If you use very small pieces you can carefully pull the papers apart and rub off the small amount of tape and it balls up so you can remove it. If you are careful it shouldn't leave any marks!
Just love this you got me doing something different thanks.
You know I love me some rosey. I think it is fantastic. Sort of like where is Waldo. I love the way you transitioned from back ground to back ground. I think it fun
I don’t like that style as much, but it came out good, just to busy for me. But, you are always fun to watch so do what you want, I’ll watch them all.Love ya see ya next week😃❤️👍
This is awesome! We can be different - try new approaches - it’s how we grow!
I really like this style. Opens one’s imagination.
bonjour Rosie, votre collage d'aujourd'hui ressemble à ce que je fais actuellement moi-même c' est du "non sens collage " et c'est ce que je préfère , ce que je fais en plus c'est accentuer les contours de chaque image avec un feutre noir fin . Pour moi vous avez encore réalisé une splendide création. gros bisous de France .
Vous avez bien raison. Moi aussi j’aime les collages qui au premier abord semblent n’avoir ‘’ni queue, ni tête’’ mais qui, après quelque temps, révèlent des analogies ou des souvenirs, des petits bouts de vie, etc. J’aimerais bien voir vos collages. Si ça vous intéresse, nous pourrions devenir amies sur FB. Au plaisir de vous lire bientôt. Evelyne du 🇨🇦
@@evelynedavid9564 bonjour Evelyne, je suis contente de trouver quelqu'un de francophone ,qui semble apprécier ce genre de créations , j'aimerai bien être votre amie sur FB et partager ce que je fait ,même si je redoute les avis autres que ceux de mes proches , cela dit je ne vais plus très souvent sur mon compte et je ne sais pas comment nous pourrions nous contacter .
si vous pouvez ,expliquez moi comment faire; A bientôt .
Rebonjour Pascale, je viens de me rendre compte qu’il y a plus de 107 Evelyne David dans FB !!! Je ne croyais pas qu’il y en avait autant ! Contactez-moi par courriel. Ça sera plus facile. À bientôt 👋
Another great piece Rosie. I do love that you went bigger and added more elements. It turned out fantastic but you have to do what feels good for you. Love, love, love this one!!
I learned a lot from this piece! I am glad I tried something different!
That was a really fun collage. Love it.
Again it all falls into place. This is a favorite.
Did a good job, but not you Great work!
Hi Rosie, I just finished binge watching and enjoying all of your videos last week. Your channel was recommended by Jeanne Baney on her RUclips channel. She is a great lady and her videos are lots of fun.
Your collages are great and I love to see what you come up with each time. The intricate cutting you do is amazing and how you fit pieces together is really fun to watch.
I really love the collage you did today, a lot going on but so interesting to look at. Thanks for sharing your awesome work. Looking forward to next week.
Oh wow! Welcome to the club! I'm glad you're enjoying them :) I will have to check out Jeanne!
Are you selling this 😍
You're the group theory guru!
Still like it, rosie. Even more
Really nice colours
Rosie I love this piece more
I like all the color of this piece.
Great work love it.
I love it!
Great art piece!❤️
I really love it !
This is fun! There's a lot to look at.
Sure why not?
Love it!
Love it!
Fun piece
I love it
Nice job Rosie 🥰
LOVE IT
💖
YEAH!! You go girl! I have been rooting for this day and I knew you could do it. However it comes out. Working large and starting with no clear idea is the way I have been working and I love it. Not for the faint, working large can lead to so many possibilities that you don't have on a smaller format. Now get out that 18" x 24"!
I think that this turned out fabulous! it was very courageous of you to face the challenge of a larger format AND working intuitively. Maybe you should work this same challenge more often. But don't ever question your "style"--anything you create will be "your style", but pushing your limits is a great way to explore. You are so inspirational!
Stunning!!
I enjoyed that! Thank you. I have been a collage artist for several years. I usually paint over faces and add weird elements. And mine are usually quite large. I liked this a great deal because there was so much going on. I liked the elements of the desk on the fish, the enormous eyes and the doll & hands reaching to shelve the green beans.The backgrounds you chose made a wonderful backdrop to everything. Very fun! Thank you for sharing! Bless
This piece is so amazing. The doll, the eyes, the architecture! It all melds together is the most remarkable way. I love it!
The hard bit is gluing it all down in the right order
Sure is! My least favorite part of the process haha
Great job! Love this!!! Would absolutely love to see more like this!
