Scraps
. Just the name of this book evokes images in my mind of happily cutting and tearing out words and pictures to combine into a fabulous new collage. And then I freeze. Ohmygosh...how to start? What to use? Where to go from here? Has it ever happened to you? Well, Scraps: an inspirational field guide to collage
is a book that may very well help you get unstuck. It's not full of techniques so much as it's full of inspiration, although it certainly does cover the basic techniques. If collage is your thing (or you'd like it to be) and ephemera is your medium, you will love the visual treats in this book. If you are a more traditional scrapbooker who has been wanting to branch out, this volume from Lark Publishing will make your toes tingle! ***FREE STUFF ALERT***

Hi,
This book sounds very interesting. I need the inspiration to get unstuck some times with my collages.
I would love an opportunity to win this book. I have switched from quiltmaking to mixed media. Love collage and could use some help in getting started. Thanks for the offer.

Would love to win this book sometimes I just don't know where I'm going with a piece. My DH just shakes his head when I put all my left over scraps in a zip lock. Men just don't get it sometimes. I neeeeeeeddd those scraps. LOL Leslie
I'm an Art teacher and I'm sure this book would be invaluable for my GCSE students who are working on an exam question 'Found Objects'. I found this site whilst searching for ideas to inspire them - the book would be such a bonus.
That sounds incredibly interesting, and I haven't seen the book before! I'll Tweet (I_Make_Jewelry) and Facebook (www.facebook.com/limamike)
Thanks for the chance!

This is the book for me! I would love to explore collage on a bigger surface than my ATC's but feel intimidated and need the basics and "Scraps" inspiration. Thank you for the chance to win!

Thank you for having a draw. I'm an artist and instructor of art to two different groups, emerging artists and adults with developmental disabilities so books are invaluable to me and to them.
