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!

I love seeing someone get as excited as I do about old magazines 😂
Hahah it was SO exciting!!
Just found your channel, just inherited a stack of 1950s magazines... a match made in heaven. Thank you for sharing these great ideas!
I'm an old lady so I used to eat that kind of salad as a kid. Also a LOT of clever jello salads and such. It is one of the wonderful things about getting older that you have enough history to remember so much!
It's so great to see you build your pieces. I love that you talk about why something works for you, or why it doesn't. I really enjoy your quirky sense of humour and how you show that in your art. Thanks for sharing!
Oh wow thank you so much for all the kind words! That really does mean a lot to me. I love sharing my process and I'm so glad you like seeing it!
Tradition is so deeply tied to attraction.... every click of the wind against the chaps counts for something.
I made my first junk journal for my friends birthday this week. I gave her a 62 year old card in perfect shape for her birthday. This birthday card was originally given to my mom. It is nice to dream of my dad seeing this card being repurposed after all these years and smiling about it.
Just seeing this video. I love the ads in vintage 1950's and 1960's magazines. SOOOOO many cigarette, detergent and food that seem ridiculous today - all the better for collaging! The woman bowling on the highway is fab.
The bowling lady was epic! I just love your perspectives. Thank you for keeping me so inspired.
I love how you explain the "why" of what works and what doesn't work in a collage.
Yes! I try to share my whole thought process and even try things that might not work, constantly change my mind, and everything in between. That's my favorite part of sharing my art :)
when working with frail vintage magazines, covering the image with clear packing tape before cutting helps a lot. It will make your image glossy so perhaps applying it to the back of the image is better.
Great idea! I never thought of that, thank you!
I had to laugh while you were first looking through the magazine because I was born in 1957 and grew up right in the midst of all you found funny!🤣😉😁 what I love about the era's ads is they were already a touch zany and used b/w and color to great advantage. For all the great ads printed, there were hundreds on the editing room floor. Having said all that, what you came up with was absolutely delightful! I love real on their own merit but I think my favorite is the lady in the woods. I was afraid the toast and critter were too close in color, but once placed, it all looked awesome. Collage is very wearing, isn't it? You can spend a very long time on just one small area before you'll be satisfied. But I love it!😁
This magazine is sooooo cool. I am going to be on the hunt for vintage magazines. I loved the bowling one.
These collages are terrific. I just love how your brain works.
I’m going to do this with my 5 year old nephew. I think he will love it. So many laughs!!
Thank you so much for keeping tabs on advertising as it relates to your mission statement with art.
I'm so excited, I'm falling over my sandals into a somersault.
The giggle-o-meter rating works well. Love these! New subscriber. I started binge-watching all your videos but had to stop and collage a bit!.
I LOVED this video! Love the walk through and learning about your thought process. So inspiring. Can’t wait for the next one!
Yay! Aww thank you SO much! That makes me so happy to hear :)
@@eastofhoney sssssssssssssssasssssssasss.sss
I just love the way you work. Vintage magazines are the best.
Yay! I'm glad you enjoyed! They are so incredibly fun to look through. So many fun images.
Hi everyone! Apologies for the long video--there was A LOT to get through today :) I hope you enjoyed the collages and the cool magazine!
No need for apologies, the more we get the better! I really love the bowling lady collage, really great job :)
I recently discover your ig account and i'm in love with your collages😍 I watched all of your videos so please make more collage video. I'm really enjoy watching your videos❣
@@beckmala Yay! Yeah, I really loved that one too.
@@busrauysal2928 Oh wow! Thank you so much :) I'm so glad you're enjoying them. I will!
I think it is not to long. It is perfect. I like watching you developing your ideas.
We love to pick up vintage magazines at the thrift stores and auctions - the BEST images ever!
I don't know if you've thought about it, but I'm right in front of that bowling ball, looking out through the land, as a big and towering mega-icon gets me rolling back to wherever in time I belong.
OMG--- I just bought over 60 of these Life magazines- all in perfect condition!!!
Oh WOW what a find! I'm so glad to hear you the videos--I love sharing my process and ideas :)
Score!
I just found you in searching for how to start collage art as a beginner and I’m so glad I did. You are so cute and fun! Looking forward to viewing all your videos. :)
I just love watching your videos, so nice not to feel like I'm collaging alone :) Thank you for sharing your creativity and enthusiasm!
Aww thank you so much!! I love sharing my process and talking about all the cool things you could create. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying watching :)
I recently found your channel and what a fun video! I've done a bit of collaging but can't seem to get the knack of surrealism. Listening to your thought process helped me alot!
I kept wanting to trim a 1/4" off the bottom of the road and make a patch to cover up that car. That aside, I loved this entire video and will surely subscribe. You are so talented and your humour is great to see.
The best part of watching this video was watching your joy in creating with an actual magazine that I remember seeing in my home and in my doctors office ten years after the publication date. The date is the day before my birth.🤣😂🤣. Obviously we kept magazines for far too long. We had stacks of them in our basement for years. 🤗🇨🇦🤗
An interesting continuation of the bowling belle would be a tractor cropping landscapes, without regard to background. A bridge.
This is the kind of art that I like to do myself so finding you is really groovy I like your ideas
I love your thought processes. You make me look at things in a different way.
Rosie, I had FUN... Felt like I was right there with you making these choices. I love putting them together. Nice!!
Just now seeing your video. SO clever! I love your ideas ❤. I know what I’m doing this afternoon! TFS 😘
I think you are the most beautiful eye of appreciativeness in the world
You make such great collages. It is hilarious because when you are choosing images, I am joining in, ‘yes’, ‘nah’ … like I would know … and whatever you choose is just the right one, and how you put them together is so clever. I did want a bowling ball covering that car!!! Such fun to watch you make these. Thank you for sharing your talent.
so cute, a fairy tale to make a conclusion
The ASMR page turning sounds are so nice ❤
Absolutely love this! Thanks for the inspiration and enthusiasm!
OMG that magazine is soo cool!
Mind blowing
lots of fun and inspiring.
Even keeping the car with the same background and just adding other things would be super dope as well
This was a joy to watch and you made me go wow.Never apologise for a video too long it was so interesting time flew.
I forgot to mention I love your whimsy so I subscribed.
Your videos are so much fun to watch.
These are very nice 🤩
I definitely have to be on the lookout for old postcards....what a fun way to incorporate into collage.
Yes! They are great backgrounds for all those really tiny images that are so hard to use in larger collages.
Wow. These really turned out well. Great effort.
GREAT imaginative composition! Love it! (:
Post cards are great!
Fun journey and I loved seeing and choosing what you found and perspective of each piece of art. I really enjoyed what I saw and thoughts I had as well, good exercise! Thank you for sharing ❤
Nervous excitement is the starting point of all creative artistry
cookies are the best. that movie about bowling was about swimming pools. I used to swim. I had a real taste for shrimp and fish
Nice ideas!
Im in love with these collages, as well! Thank you so much- don’t apologize, i enjoyed this so much. Subbed and liked! Love love love
Fun, thanks for the ride
It was excellent, awesome, and very helpful! Thank you!
Oh thank you so much! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it :)
I’ve just found you and subscribed! This video was amazing, astounding and brilliant, but most of all, great fun! Your collages turned out fabulous!
I love surfing!
Very cool collages from the magazine... Loved them 💖💖😁
Thank you so much!
Love all three
Bue car, total parabolic geometry, and I must say that your convexity is super smooth and relaxed, like restful and nice
This was so much fun to watch!! Thanks for sharing :)
Yay!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching :)
OMG I loved this video! I am just getting into collage. Your sense of style is so fun! TYFS Cindy
Awww thank you SO much! Oh man you are going to become obsessed with collage. It is the most fun hobby :) I'd love to see some of the pieces you create!
I like your vlogs different things very interesting thanks for showing us and your arts cool! (smile) (thumb up)
Hey Rosie, thats was a treat to watch!! I cant wait to get off work and continue on my projects!! Thank you! :)
Aww thank you SO MUCH! I'm very happy you enjoyed it :) Happy collaging!
Cool ideas. =) Love all 3 collages. =)
You have some neat books and magazines to pull images from. =)
I really enjoy watching yours videos. You make it seems so easy, which it's not. Great simple ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Aw thank you so much! I'm so happy to hear you're enjoying them :)
Funtastic
Celebration for dream city...é Brasília a capital do meu país! Que demais! Essa revista está um "prato cheio" para artes...
And just like that, I FOUND OUT I AM NOT ALONE. 😁❤️
I never find myself bothered by backgrounds, but that's all I got... I still like the utility of backgrounds. I've been thinking about it for days. I didn't really make any decision on my choice in that parallel artistic element.
Hellmans' is the best food. The origin of modern style advertisements, (attraction.)
Yessssss!!!!!!!
WOOHOO
I loved to see your process. Thanks for the video! What do you do with all of the collages you make?
You could still use the magazine front and cover the watermarks with another cut out, and I like the word, Smileage. That would be a great word to use somewhere!
It is a prayer come true
I heard about your channel just today from a video by Lovely Day with Holly and I'm hooked! This looks so fun and I kind of want to try it now!
Welcome! Do it! Collage is such an incredible hobby (but I'm a bit biased :) )
I wanted the tiny woman in red to be holding up the red car with the family on vacation…because mom’s do 90% of the work to get a family on a vacation. 😂
Those ads are hilarious. You can even swab the deck when you wear your Kotex sanitary napkins! Who knew.
It looks like the lady in the red dress could be copied and used many, many times.
fun!! made me larf
Dude, when i was in the hole, I was talking with the Feds about going Bowling with 2012 Pres hopeful down in Fountain Valley
I'm late to your channel, but loving it anyway :) I was wondering if you could put a bowling ball over the car, as if she'd thrown one and had the next one ready in her hands.
Helo,fellow collage artist.. wherever you may be, i wish you a blessed day
Yo empecé a hacer colages después de verte en Tiktok. El domingo fui a la feria a comprar revistas viejas también, tengo tres que son de 1940 😱
Yay! That is really awesome!! What a good find. Happy collaging :)
Wow what a cool magazine! So many cool things 😍 I love all your collages! Your such a inspiration 🤗 I was wondering what kind of scissors do you use? Thanks 😊
Oh thank you so much!! I use tiny sewing scissors! They are great for details, but they also make special detail scissors, I just happened to already have these from sewing and they work great.
I ned some hope in my heart that when you see me, you see something good for yourself
❤️
It's great that you have a new cutting board and I LOVE this collage! The cutting board has thick white lines on it and when you place the work on it is distracting. Maybe just a sheet of white paper underneath the collage would work.
These storyboard designs are ultra-modern, and this publishing was put together over 50 years ago. I wonder if I'm the only one who noticed that refrigerators fit just as well into the calendar now as they did then.
Oh my birthday! JULY 14th ❤
I’ve been following you On IG for a while. Our collage thoughts are so similar it’s crazy. You would probably enjoy glue books as well. It’s a lot like collage (and is in its own right). You should check out some of them. Debbie Corke is very good. I have so many but quit videoing a few years ago. I’ve been asked by several to start back again so I just might.
Love your work though. Thanks for the inspiration 🤪
Oh very cool! I will have to check out glue books and Debbie! I love sharing my process through videos, but it is a lot of work so I totally get taking a break. I would watch if you decide to share again :)
Love your channel and those 1950s Life magazines... Such a shame over here in the UK they're impossible to get hold of unless you're willing to pay extortionate amounts on shipping from US...ugh
They really need to reproduce more of these vintage ads, I know some books are out there, or the only way we will be able to make art with this source material is digitally.
Interpretation of French Culture, how do you get the seafood on the market for Napolean for his entrapment on Elba?
Just mean to say that complication for surfers of web and water get stuck in random riptides.
You need a Gyro cut girl !!
Which rock and roll band? Why, 'Boston' More than a Feeling, of course
Do you ever photocopy a page so you can get more images?
That tunnel must have been where we picked up the science that I so desperately desire to flower my degree in English. But hey, I'm just an American. English is so.... England.
Check - will enter historical records when I get a chance
What is a cheap source for old magazines?
Thrift stores
I'm working on it. I'm working on my heart felt dissuasion from super big noses of strange permutations of truth
