Collage with me: This was Unexpected! Tools + Tips For Collage Art

Hi yall! I'm Kadeja, I recently started creating analog collages from thrifted used books and magazines! This week I wanted to share my tools and a look into my process. I am never exactly sure what we were going to make, so I started by flipping through some of my materials to find some inspiration! Take a look to see the two collages we created during this video. Let me know which one is your favorite.
Want to try creating your own? Just grab a magazine, scissors, and a glue stick!

So happy to see another collager on the tube. I have not done much on video for a few years because it sort of died out but have still been doing it on my own because it is so relaxing. will be watching for your new shares.
I love how it came out!!!

I really like them!

[@wileycom]

So delighted to have found your channel! You are so talented, an inspiration. I’m new to collage, a retired musician looking for another way to channel my creative flow. Collage instantly appealed to me particularly after seeing the work of Romare Bearden. (Check out info about him and his work, it is AWESOME 😉 ) I look forward to seeing more of you videos and kudos to you!

[@chaoticcollage]

I love how these turned out! So cool!

[@dianacline1439]

Love your process.

[@kliggco]

Thank you so much!

[@anastasiamurawski6179]

Nice! Sometimes they just fall together, but some times it's struggle. Been doing digital collage for awhile but I'm getting itchy to try my hand at (nice music btw) analogue. I don't think I have done any real cutting pasting in a long time , like maybe way back in elementary school, a little in college (in the 90's) I didn't really get it until I really started just playing, having fun with it. Then it clicked. I like the video.

[@zannido3125]

Nice video! I subscribed!
I want to give you a heads up rubber cement isn't exactly permanent.
We used it in high school, and after many years, most projects fell apart.
Maybe seal it with something that might help.
Finding a wrinkle free glue is hard isn't it?
I find fabritac or fabrifix (stinky like nail polish) doesn't wrinkle but it can hiccup and burp
A xyron machine can turn images into stickers.
Its a shame they dont make the big one anymore.
Good luck with your glue search

[@lovelydaywithholly]

I love surrreal collage and have played with it over at Lovely Day with Holly too!! I’d love it if you posted more collage videos and include more talking through the process vs sped up with music. 👏🏻👏🏻

[@kliggco]

Great idea!! I like to zone out a bit sometimes but I could be more intentional in sharing my thoughts aloud

[@LorraineTapper]

I really enjoyed this video gave me a lot of good ideas.

[@kliggco]

I'm so glad!

[@MACARONIMAUDE]

Loved this! What kind of exacto knife is that? I love how it handles!

[@CindyBushell]

It’s a Fiskars Precision knife - I love mine!

[@sagepremoe1565]

Nice work! I don't know that I have a preference in which one I like better.
?Do you find the finger craft knife to be good for detailed cutting, better than a long handled exacto knife? I've seen 2 brands - Fiskars & Excel. Which brand do you use?

[@LorraineTapper]

What is that cutting tool you are using?

[@rosecook8598]

Honestly if you use scrapes of pictures, I doubt a company would bother to attack an artist. In today’s world too many people are paranoid and into suing people. Ridiculous

[@karenlynningalls5851]

Collaging is a great therapeutic process! But you need to know that, unless you have a license to use those photographs, or permission of the copyright holder (generally the photographer), you do not have the right to sell your images. You do not own the copyright, so making money off of someone else's artwork when you've incorporated it into your own creation is considered intellectual property theft. It's definitely not ethical. It's how the original photographers make their living, and it's not okay to take that from them. You might consider doing it with your own photos, photos you have permission or a license to use, or work that is old enough so that the copyright law no longer applies.

[@kliggco]

Thank you for sharing!

[@serenityjewel]

​@@kliggco Please don't believe this because it's not true. Collage artists have been making and selling their artwork for centuries and will continue to do so. There is nothing unethical about it. There's a ton of case law about this, so it's not a simple topic, but in general, if someone's photograph is not the main focus of your work or you transform their work into a new image, you can use it for things you sale. An example would be Richard Prince, a famous artist who's based his career off transforming other people's work. He finally went to far when he basically took people's photos off Instagram, added some words underneath, and sold it as his work. There was no transformative value. So definitely be leery of just believing what anyone says on the internet, even me. People like to pass on hearsay information. Research using copyrighted material in collage on actual legal or organizational websites. There are a lot available. Avoid discussion boards unless the person cites their sources and you verify what they're saying.
