Almost too nice to cut up

I ordered this to see why it's so popular and see if I could solve the mystery of why it's apparently out of print. Well, it's popular because it's magnificent. The paper quality is astonishingly good, and very heavy. In fact, it's heavier than any art book I own. The images are varied and fun and fantastical, too. Everything about this book is impressive. I'm wondering if it's out of print because some images may have been copyrighted, or could be disputed. Some graphics in the book are definitely more recent than the usual date when works become public domain. So, I'm glad I own this. But... there SO much about this book that I love, I don't want to cut it up. Even to make art. And frankly, I'd have to break the binding even to scan some of the images. I'm trying to get past my foibles, but - for now - this book sits in my bookcase where I can take it off the shelf and admire it regularly. I applaud the author and the amount of work it took to create this book. It's top quality, and truly unique in the field.

Soooo Different and Unusual! Great for Vision Board or Collage for project!

If you are a lover of all "Fairly Odd" things when it comes to unusual and different activities and books, etc.... boy are you going to LOVE LOVE this!!! This is a BIG Book! Very tall! Maybe about 70 pages or so! Each page is filled with multiple photos of random things that you can cut out. There are themed sections too like "Plants", "Food", "Appliances", "Astronauts", "Fashion", and all pictures are from back in the 50s-60s-70s! Alllll retro! Now the paper is not thick like card stock... its more like magazine, but still perfect for a random project needing a pop culture collage or a vision board or like I did, I cut out a lot of images and glued them to a 8x10 stretched canvas board and framed them! Get as creative as you want with these! So many images to explore!

PERFECT

Great fun helpful

Super fun great for scrapbooks or art journaling

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS BOOK!

I love to work with collage and mixed media and often find myself thumbing through old magazines for a special image or something unique that I can use. This book has everything in it! It’s a larger size than I expected, about 9 x 14. They have wisely only printed on one side of the pages and the paper is good quality. There is an introductory section that gives some very creative ways to use the images which I appreciate it. There is also a good variety in the size of the images that are provided, from quite small to full page but most sizes are in between. The color quality is quite good and I can hardly wait to get started on my next project! I think it is an excellent value for the cost and highly recommend it.

Outstanding!!

Best collage cut out book I’ve ever seen. Great assortment of topics, very crisp, clear, high contrast, pictures!

Extraordinary!

My girlfriend loves all these! Was a great gift to give at a decent price!

Lots of variety!

Extraordinary!

My girlfriend loves all these! Was a great gift to give at a decent price!

Lots of variety!

Great variety of images!

I was looking for a wide variety of images to supplement my other pieces and this book has what I was interested in. I liked that the images are one sided and easy to cut. Great for novices learning techniques to assemble collages.

Great collection of images but it’s a lot of detailed cutting

My mistake was that I missed that these have to be cut out & they aren’t adhesive. There are some beautiful images, very detailed but that’s why it takes a lot of precise cutting. I prefer stickers too for ease in applying. I’ll keep these and use them sparingly for some projects.

Great Collage Material Cut Out Book!

I am working with the images from this book nowadays. The paper's quality of the book is wonderful. The colors of the images are really well. It is very enjoyable to work with the images from this book. Definitely, I'll order this book again in the near future!

muy bueno

libro grande, preciosas imagenes, los bordes estaban un poco raspados por el transporte

Fun and fantastic

This was fun to create pictures

Good resource

Persons in the art community were using this book and saying how great it was. I decided to purchase. There are a a wide range of images - vintage , floral ,pop etc. In the first 21 pages Maria shows how she created some of her work, tells you how to build a collage (step by step), materials required. I purchased this for the buildings, flora and the hands. Some of the images I'm not sure how I will use, but I guess that's the beauty of the book - think outside the box.

Best one I've found so far

Images are printed on one side and a silhouette of the image on the other. Made it easier to cut out images from different angles. Great variety of themes and image sizes. The intro gave good advice on making a collage. There should be more books like this one.

Beautiful images

There are some great images in this book. However many of them are very difficult to cut out. I used them for collage.

Fun and good images

The best collage book out there. One sided pages. Nice variety of images. Recipient was thrilled

The prettiest thing you will ever cut up!!!!

Quarantine has renewed my love for mixed media and collage, but as someone who is very particular about the types of images I am looking for (often when I don't even quite know what they are yet), it can be a struggle to ever move past the hunting for materials stage. I ordered this book on a complete whim and am so pleased by the quality of the images and all the interesting and helpful tips and inspiration from the author!!! I cannot wait to put this to great use and will definitely be purchasing something similar to it in the future!

This book is awesome-buy it now!

I adore this quirky, fun, delightful book of fantastic images meant to be cut out and decoupaged or used in collage or multi-media artwork. The book provides plenty of inspiration and gets the creative juices flowing, and it's also just fun to look at! Suitable as a coffee table book; great book to look at with kids between the ages of 3-16; and although large, would be entertaining in the loo. There's something for everyone in this treasure trove of wonderful pictures! Buy it now!

Alot of pictures to use in junk journaling.

Some pictures are hard to cut out but most can be cut out.These are not stickers.

Nice

Very nice, pictures are of great quality. Wish the pages were thicker paper.

The coolest image book ever

Really cool if you're into unique retro, vintage images. Whoever designed this book clearly had a lot of fun, and it's so much fun looking through it and using the images -- there are so many of them! My teenaged daughter is having a great time making collages from this book. Highly recommend!

Great book, but arrived damaged.

I’ll get lots of use from this wonderful book. It’s just that it arrived bent and damaged along the spine.

An exceptional variety of images!

This is a delightful book with a huge variety of images to use for your collages. Images range in size from quite small to full page. There are some collage examples and simple instructions in the beginning but the book is mostly images for your use. Printed on a single side, so there is no concern for having to choose one side over another as I've found with some other collage books. I could stand for a bit thicker paper but as it stands, I already use magazine cut outs and these are on more substantial paper. So, no real complaint!

Disappointing

I really wanted to love this. The colors are very muted which just isn’t for me. I wish the pages Were perforated so that they would come out easily.

Great aid to creativity!

This (among other sources and a lot of work) really helped me create a vision board that got rave reviews.

I love it!

Received the book today, finally! It took some time ( due to Covid I'm sure ), but it was so worth the wait! Pictures are printed on one side so you don't have to choose. There's a huge variety in images so it would be difficult not to find what you're looking for. Very colorful, highly detailed, and printed on high quality paper. Just buy it, you'll love it!

Great inspiration for art or to get out of "writer's block."

I loved this book! Maria Rivens out did herself. This book says clearly states it has over 1,500 images. However, the number of images seems to go on forever. These are beautiful, quality images. The book is 3 pounds plus and is an oversized publication. I purchased this book to use in mixed media/collage artwork. Now I am torn between using this publication for my art or keeping it for endless inspiration.

Not stickers

My fault for not making sure. I use them with glue but I wish I didn't have to cut every corner of these.

Must have for a journal lover!!!!

I saw this book on Youtube from another crafter. I purchased it haven't used it yet but I love love the pictures in this to cut out. If you journal or do junk journaling this is a must have. So many different options to do and cut out from this book. Love it!!!

Excellent collage resource

I love the idea of this book. This is really spectacular and offers the opportunity for many amazing collage works. Though I do wish more of the photos were more modern, or a varied styles perhaps. Some of it doesn't really appeal to me - but then again, I knew that when I purchased it. Definitely a great buy and I'm glad to have it at my fingertips.

great for beginner artists

really helped me get into mixed media art. the front section gives an introduction to collaging as well, making it very beginner friendly.

Just what I was looking for

This was definitely worth $18. It got to my house in four days and I am very happy with the purchase. The paper is sort of waxy which makes it easy to cut on the pictures. It’s a huge book full of all kinds of pictures. I made a collage of some of the pages which I will attach. Would buy again!

Exceptional Quality

This book is great quality and the images are varied and beautiful. The artist generously has shared some tutorials in the book so even if you’re just getting started there is no shortage of inspiration and information! I loved it so much that I bought a second copy!! You won’t regret this purchase, worth every penny!!

Fun

Very fun and worthwhile purchase!

Love it!

Great things for collaging. Glad I got it

Best book ever

This book was well worth the money i spent on it. Every collage artist should have one. It has an amazing variety of every picture you can think of and then some. It has instructions for some activities in the front of the book. It is just an excellent book. I promise if you get it won't be disappointed. IT is fabulous.

Awesome purchase!

Wonderful clip book! So many different images! The paper seems to be the right thickness. This is my first clip book and I'm happy I chose this one!

The BEST!

Literally AMAZING! I haven’t been this excited about something since I was a kid, there is sooo much stuff to look at you almost have to take it all in, in sessions. The images are sooo cool and unique. Would buy more if there was a series.

AWESOME Cut Outs

This book has so many different type of elements that one could use in their collage pages/journal. I am really impressed. I am playing with some of the pieces and they are really easy to lay down with some gel medium. The images in the book are so versatile. I am very happy with the collage images and I hope the author plans on releasing more books.

Mrs

Beautiful Images! Quality paper!

Fantastic!

What an amazing book. Page after page of fab images in many sizes from tiny to full page. Looking for a full color image? It’s right here. High quality, full color, I’m 100% pleased. But note, all images need to be cut out. So if you don’t enjoy fussy cutting, you might not be as pleased.

Crafters will love this book

I have already used many of the cut outs so well worth the price

Wow!

Wow! Great illustrations that had me immediately reaching for my collage medium. If you’re looking for something that will inspire your creativity, this is it.

The Holy Grail of Collage Image Books

This is by far the best book of collage images I’ve ever seen. The paper is high quality (thick and of magazine quality) and each page is ONE SIDED so you don’t have to choose which side to sacrifice vs which to use. You will not be sorry!

Absolutely wonderful!!!!

Just great and so inspiring! Now I'm not only cutting out of this but out of everything and anything! I've had so much fun working with the images in this book. I'm expanding my collage skills too!

High quality images, and zillions of them!

This is a phenomenal treasure trove of images for collage. It's an oversized book, the printing is high quality (and only on one side of the page) and the paper is good quality also. All kinds of wonderful images, will keep any collagist happy for months!

Great images for collages!

Great images for collages! Great quality printing & paper. The pages are printed on 1 side so no worry when cutting the pages! I hope they make more versions.

Worthwhile

I love this book, all of the images are on one side of the page which is amazing and they’re usable images. They really give you your money’s worth

Overall Fantastic Collection of Collage Images

Everything about this book meets or exceeds expectations. I’m seriously considering buying another one immediately just because. There are such a great collection and variety of images on nice paper stock. The book itself is large and significant in weight.

Amazing!

I got this for my daughter who is really cool and puts cool stuff on her wall and she loves this !!! She put some of the images in her phone case highly recommended!!

Will buy this book again.

I'm really enjoying this book. Great buy.

Please make a sticker book like this!

Love this book! I wish it were a sticker book, but I can make stickers from it. I wish there were more books like this.

Great book

I will love using this book. Great images and ideas on how to use them. A great self present as I am stuck at home in winter.

Amazing images

Absolutely beautiful images. Struggling to bring myself to actually cut the pages since they are so fun and unusual. I love that backgrounds were provided so you have a jumping off point. Very happy with my purchase.

Awesome book!

This book has some awesome pictures in it! If you like collage or scrapbooking, you’ll love this book.

I CANT STOP CUTTING

when i first received the book, i was very intimidated. i have since made a handful of pieces using some selections from the book and I AM OBSESSED!! if you are an analog collage artist of ANY skill this book is a must have!!!!

Dripping with Awesomeness

I cannot praise this book enough! It is jam-packed with clear, colorful, "dripping with awesomeness" images. I can't wait to get started.

Relive kindergarten

I felt like a kindergartner with a new pair of sissies.

Great quality and variety

Seriously so good. Wish more planet options , but great book with a varied images . I want to buy another one just to be able to use the images again in my collage art .

A true treasure of collage images.

Oh my gosh! This is the mother lode of all collage books! I couldn’t believe the number of amazingly gorgeously illustrated images! The paper is of excellent quality and each page has a perforation for easy removal. Creativity run amuck! So many possibilities!

plastic-y pages?

Nice selection of images but i expected them to be printed on matte paper. Instead the paper is plastic? Is this a removable coating? If so, its extra work for no reason, except to slightly blur the images after printing. While not encyclopedic, its a nice retro collection but certainly not spectacular. I would not suggest this to real artists- beginners only.

Best book ever

This is the best collage book I’ve ever seen all in one place things you could use for crafts crazy items beautiful items elegant items anything you can think of is in this book

Book arrived really folded :-(. Can't use everything in it.

Most of the pictures in the book are great, but Amazon wrapped the book very badly, so that it arrived folded. Perhaps the people who put it in the package didn't care, I don't know of course. I can't use every picture because of the bad shape. ;-(

A welcome addition to my art

As a mixed media artist I can truthfully say that this book is just what I needed! The paper quality is outstanding as are the photographs. I would definitely recommend this product.

Awesome images!

This book is amazing!!

Beautiful book!

I've almost been too afraid to start cutting into this, probably my favorite impulse buy. Lots of very unique images to work with and a great collection of images to help kick start your creativity.

Love this collage book

Im so glad i bought this! Quality paper, beautiful colors, luvly paper!

Good

Favorite collage book ever. Great paper quality

AMAZING

Amazing book for collage work. It has so much variety and the quality is good too. I use a few sources for material, but this book adds a lot to my work

Cool Collaging Elements

Cool book , wish the images were perforated

So cool!

This book is great! I can't wait to make stuff with the images.

Great collection of images

Fabulous array of images to cut out and use in collages. Great example of how the author used these elements in her own collages. Inspiring.

Not disappointed

Very cool. Love this book of cutouts.

awesome book

book has amazing items for collage art....paper printed on is perfect for the craft work I hope to accomplish with the book.....

what fun!!

it arrived midway through my collage. So many images to choose from! love it..

Fantastic book

I love this book!! Chock full of great images on the best paper for collage!

nice!

many interesting pictures!

cheap paper, boring images

many images are too pale, low contrast. hard to see edges to cut. the paper is just too thin. i guess i'll adhere some pages to another layer of paper before cutting.

A Great Resource For Crafters Worth Every Penny!

Every scrapbooker should purchase this item! It is so worth the money, especially compared to how expensive traditional scrapbooking supplies tend to be.

Came damaged and dirty

Pretty pictures but the book came pretty damaged and gross looking some of the images inside can be used because they’re all bent

Alot of fun

Fun

10/10

I LOVE IT it has so many vintage cutouts i can’t wait to use it !!

Overwhelming assortment!

What a treasure this is to a collage artist! Loads of images and lots of variety!

Awesome

Super cool book for collage art— and a very good deal!

great

wonderful

Book is ratty on the edges

Mailing envelope was just fine, but the corners of the book are ratty and bent. Not happy.

MUST BUY

Variety

Wonderful purchase

Love it!

Too difficult for young teens

I bought for a 10 year old and it was too difficult

excellent book and yet poor quality delivery

the book itself is excellent, marvelous images, brilliantly reproduced. nice selection of visuals. endless possibilities for collage! what was bad about the book was the condition it arrived in. although placed in a (somewhat) padded envelope, three corners of the softcover book (which wasn't wrapped in plastic nor paper) were seriously bumped, wrinkled, and.or damaged in some way. in my estimation, a book in this condition should be on the remainder table somewhere and not sold as "quality" merchandise. it wasn't. very disappointed in amazon.

The book is bent and it is a gift for my daughter. Very disappointed.

Damage and dirty

I received my book it was damaged at the bottom at the spine and cover with dirty

Not what I was looking for

Very few mages are useful for my purposes. Probably my taste is not Extraordinary enough. 👎

Lots of cool quality pics

My boyfriend got me this for Christmas from my wishlist and I love it so much! It's definitely worth the money. I would like to see her put out many more of these books. It would be great to get one with more fantasy, magical and animal elements, crystals etc other celebs like Dolly Parton. This book will definitely come in handy.

Inspiring!

Super versatile and unique images. Great quality and vibrant colors.

The smoke is exceptional, I’ve had so much fun with it I wish there were more like it!

The best gift I've ever gotten

I received this from a friend for my birthday. I've been collaging for years but as you'll notice in reviews of other books like this the biggest issue is that most things people use to make collages are double sided so you have to pick and choose what you can use. However this whole book is onesided. I was worried at first at the paper type because the first collage I made ended up pretty bumpy but by the time the mod podge had dried it was flat and looked great. I suggest using the glossy finish mod podge with these. There's so many different things to choose from and it really added something special that I don't think I was ever able to have just pulling things from magazines all those years. The only down side is that the pages aren't perforated. There's a dotted line to cut but if youre not careful you could accidentally cut a piece off of something on a page. I ended up using an exacto knife to take each page out.

Such a Great Craft

I love this book -- it's jam packed full of interesting images with varying sizes and subjects. It's kept me busy during quarantine and I've made several collages. I want a volume 2!

So happy !

Absolutely loved this! I’ve missed getting creative and this helped inspire me to get back into montages

Buy it..

I love this book for so many reasons ... it Has so many images. something for everyone.. the pages are one sided so you are not ruining any of the images while by out another ... The back side of the page is shaded so you can see where to cut if you have to turn the image over... I am so so so so glad I got it . I wish that they come out with a other edition ... By far the best collage book I have ... Buy it

Awesome!

If you like collage .. this book is great! So many interesting pictures to use and you can assemble them anyway you want!!! So glad I found this.

A LOT OF IMAGES!

This book of beautiful colorful images is perfect for my art journaling projects. I am 100% happy with it, I would like to see a volume 2!

Awseome!!!!

This book is absolutely incredible!! Exactly what I was looking for and more!!!

Fabulous

Fabulous and very excited to start creating

Great quality. Can't wait to play.

Great quality. Can't wait to play.

Date night idea

My husband & I had a date night in, where we made collage art with this book. We took turns tearing out pictures and gluing them together to create assuming art collages. Super cool book!

Must Have For Collages & Junk Journaling

I have made great use of this book for my scrapbooking and junk journaling! Excellent quality and variety of images! If you're debating on buying a book with random images for collages or similar use, pick this one!

Amazing resource

I am an art therapist and I purchased this for groups. Sometimes, magazines do not have the imagery that a client needs to communicate their ideas and thoughts. This book has everything! I will continue to buy more copies of this as my copy gets used up. This is an incredibly valuable resource.

Must have!!

Perfect for collaging, soooo many pieces to cut out

bright colors

Made nice!

Filled with beautiful images

It is a great book to use with different types of art and journaling activities.

Fantastic. Love these cut outs.

These are great images. Great for cut outs.

Great Sharp Images....

Definitely Recommend. Images are sharp and have a great assortment of images, trees, buildings, people, pets, bugs, seashells, toys, food, cars, fish, birds, and so much more. Love it!

Really good collage book with lots of ideas and suggestions

This is a fantastic collage book with a really good variety of images. It also has a section at the front with tips and inspiration for collages, which I found very useful. The images are often retro or quirky, but there are also pieces from famous works of at, lots of wildlife, flowers, buildings, vehicles and so on. Would recommend for collage/journaling fans.

Fun

Great but lots of fun things you can do with the images.

Good for a pressie for creative people

Bought it for my friends daughter and she loved it.

Highly Recommended

What an incredible book! I do a lot of fussy cutting and collages for junk journals. This book has everything you could need. Nice weight to paper, clear designs. Love it!

Great book!!!!

Love this book, it opens up to all other projects and ideas to create collage. Me and my kids enjoy it very much. I will look for another one from this artist to purchase.

Made a card for my brother's 65th Birthday. He loved it and he loves cats lol

Ohh I love this book, collage collage collage. Where to start? Very impressive book and I love it. Thank you so much!!

El mejor libro de recortes

¡Hermoso! Solo creo que deberían tener más cuidado en cómo se empaca. Me llegó algo gastado de la portada por los traslados. De ahí, todo es excelente ❤️❤️

Delightful !

Oh what a delightful book, exactly as described, received in a very swift manner , great value as you have a ton of images to play with , brightly printed , let the creativity begin !

Ótimas imagens com varios tamanhos.

Bem diversificado em imagens e tamanhos.

Collage your dreams and fantasies!

Fantastic images for mixed media art journal or collage.

Magnifico

Libro incredibile, oltre ad essere pieno di immagini stupende, fornisce nelle prime 15 pagine delle nozioni sui materiali e sulla composizione dei collage e nelle ultime pagine tutta una serie di sfondi con cui fare pratica e scatenare la fantasia. Talmente bello che dispiace usarlo

Bello ma caruccio

Ho acquistato questo libro per sviluppare dei collage e la cosa più complicata, in questa arte, è spesso, trovare immagini di qualità, non sgranate e su una carta non troppo sottile. Il libro è arrivato nei tempi previsti e ben imballato. Sono rimasta piacevolmente colpita dalla qualità delle immagini, dalla varietà dei temi(natura,fumetti,città,animali,piante,retrò,città,ecc.) e dalla possibilità di avere degli sfondi dettagliati su cui incollare subito delle immagini. La carta si presenta di uno spessore adeguato.Le immagini si riescono a ritagliare bene anche se ravvicinate. Unico neo,secondo me,il prezzo che trovo comunque elevato.

Just Wow!

I have only looked through the first 20 or so pages of the cut outs and they are fantastic! It will take me hours to look through this book before I decide what to do first. The choices really are endless. An interesting narrative and helpful tips at the start of the book too.

Tante immagini

Bello

Exactly what it says it is

If you enjoy doing collage, you probably ought to have this book.

I'm buying a second copy

This is a wonderful book. I love it so much that I'm buying a second copy. It's a shame there's no downloadable version included so that you can print and scale the images.

5 stars for this great book...

This is an excellent book which has hundreds of images to cut out and use for a highly imaginative collage. The overall quality of the images are good. As an added bonus the book has an introduction to collage, so if you're new to this artform the information provided is enough to get you started. When I started doing collage I bought too many books, and most of them had repetitive information or information that could be found on-line. Too much information can be confusing, but this book provides just the right amount. It also gives examples of collage and has a small section on famous collage artists, that also depicts some of their work. This is a great book and the best book that I have ever found on collage. The retail price is really good value, but as a bonus it is currently reduced. I highly recommend this book.

Amazing!

I haven’t even started yet (it just arrived) and I am already thinking about ordering another! The paper seems good quality, the image quality is good and there is a large array of different subject matter. The book is thicker than I expected and there are a few collage examples at the front to inspire. Just what I was looking for! Excellent, thanks! The photos I am including show just a handful of the many pages. Some images towards the back of the book are large/background images. The images are only printed on one side of the page so there will be no wasting one image to use another (I always hate that). Nothing negative to say really, I hope they make more. Happy creating everyone!

My wife loves this item

Another collection of books she likes and she would also recommend this to all who likes to craft

ME RA VI GLIO SO

Questo libro è semplicemente fantastico. Tantissime immagini di tutti i tipi e di ottima qualità, in più sfondi e ritratti da rielaborare a proprio piacimento. All'inizio alcuni consigli sull'arte del collage, che purtroppo sono scritti in inglese, ma chi come me lo mastica a livello base, capisce tranquillamente! Super consigliato.

Gets your creative juices flowing 💓

What a fantastic book. I’m so incredibly glad I bought it. This is a great book to start collaging. What I loved is that although the book is primarily made up of images to create your very own collages, it also details famous artists who have used collages in there own work as a form of inspiration. In the book she, also has examples of own work and some collages she has produced using images from the book, which is just brilliant if you are new to the art of collage, as you could use this as a practice exercise before creating your own surreal collages. It also shows you how you might go about the whole process if you really have no idea, step by step. I think the book is brilliant as an artist myself and I can’t wait for her to produce more. I could see my students buying this book for there art work and I will be highly recommending it. Well done. When’s the next one coming out??? 😂😂😂

Livro bastante variado e entregue em muito boas condições. Entrega super rápida.

O livro foi comprado com o intuito de oferecer. A experiência foi positiva, o livro é extremamente variado, com uma seleção de imagens que varia de tamanho, impressão magnífica e nítida. A entrega foi super rápida, de um dia para o outro. Recomendo a experiência

コラージュ初めての人向き

素材をいろいろ買い集めるよりも、まずはこれから始めてみるといいと思います。背景素材は別途必要ですが。 しかし中身を見る前にテンションダダ下がり。 裸の状態で配送用の外袋に入っていたので天候も影響して中が湿気気味。 おまけに四隅が擦れて丸くなっていて、折れが一箇所ありました。 新品を購入したのにまるで中古品。 在庫管理も梱包も雑。 どうせ切り刻んでしまうのですけど、綺麗なものをせめてビニールで包むなりして梱包していただきたかった。

Great Book, Great Theme, However...

Great Book! Very addictive. I love the theme. However the entire book appears to be incredibly white-washed. It'd be great if there were more people of colour in them. BIPOC fit nicely into the vintage aesthetic too! For example; Old Bollywood, Traditional attire from Asian countries/regions such as Japan, China, Korea and Thailand. Also Harlem! Harlem in the 40s, featuring African Americans in dapper clothes etc. Also the entire book is missing a Jellyfish and cute little duckies!

コラージュに最高。

ジャンクジャーナルをするに必要な絵柄、写真が沢山載ってます。これ、一冊で他にシールなどわざわざ買わなくてもいいです。コラージュする時に使っています。

helps me to stay motivate

it has variety of things to cut. absolutely amazing. i am really happy that I bought it. for sure i recommend it.

forse troppo....

bello, finalmente un libro che ha capito cosa serve se vuoi fare un collage le prime venti pagine sono indice e illustrazione delle tecniche dalla 22 in poi immagini solo da un lato da ritagliare, belle, ben definite, varie, insomma perfette forse anche troppo, che rende un peccato ritagliarle, non c'è né CD né l'link quindi sono uniche, fotocopiarle sarebbe complicato le ultime 20 pagine sfondi messi a disposizione per provare a fare i primi passi insomma l'autrice ha veramente centrato l'obbiettivo unico neo, il costo, troppo alto

Bestes Cut Out-Buch!

Dieses Buch ist das mit Abstand beste, dass ich bislang mit Cut Out-Motiven finden konnte. Eine wirklich sehr schöne, umfangreiche Auswahl zu verschiedenen Thematiken. Die Grundlagen der Collage-Technik und benötigten Materialien wird eingangs erklärt, ebenso wie ein paar Beispiele, die mit den Motiven aus dem Buch nachgestaltet werden können. Ich kann dieses Buch nur empfehlen und würde mir sehr wünschen, dass es noch ein zweites Buch von Maria Rivans geben würde. Bin aber tatsächlich geneigt, mir dieses hier nochmal zu kaufen, weil mir viele Motive einfach sehr, sehr gut gefallen!

Wonderful spark to imagination!

Love this book! The pictures are varied in size and shape and complexity. Scissors and a craft knife and some glue and you're away. You can cut very finely or not so finely and still have fun. Everything is printed on one side only so no worries there. And there's some advice in the front if you need help getting started. A great book overall.

Umfangreiche und vielfältige Sammlung an Collage-Material mit kleinem Manko

Sehr umfangreiches und vielfältiges Material, übersichtlich sortiert nach Gebäuden, Menschen, Pflanzen u.a. Außerdem gibt es am Ende einige Seiten, die sich sehr gut als Hintergrundkulisse eignen (mal das Porträt von Marilyn Monroe, dann eine Landschaft oder eine Glaskugel mit Wasser u.a.). Hier hätte ich mir allerdings noch viel mehr Motive gewünscht. Außerdem fehlt mir definitiv auch ein Repertoire an Mustern, die eine etwas individuellere Gestaltung ermöglicht hätten.

Excellent pour les collages

très belles images, thèmes divers. J'ai photocopié les pages (il faut réduire de à 90% pour obtenir en A4 toutes les images d'une page) afin de pouvoir l'utiliser plusieurs fois. Je recommande.

Absolutely fantastic

You’ll need two because the books are so beautiful, you don’t want to cut it up! So much to get involved with and brilliant fun. LOVE IT!

Great Images

Well, that's the first time I've ever bought a brand new book with the sole intention of tearing it apart. Lovely images, vibrant colours and a good selection for collages and art journals. If I had any criticism it would be that perforating the pages so they can be torn out easily would really help. It would also be once to have an electronic download with it, or even a DVD, so you can use the images more than once. I can honestly say I have used every page in this book including the covers and would recommend it.

This is the best Collage book on the market

I have only a glowing report on this book by Maria Rivans.. This book on Collage is by far the best book on the market. I have looked at most other books on this subject and this is the one to buy.. I had the pleasure of meeting Maria at the Affordable Art Fair and now follow her on Social Media... She is a fantastic artist, Buy the book now.... Geoff White....

Imágenes bonitas y variadas

¡Perfecto! Me encanta el libro. Es de tapa blanda. Realmente tiene imágenes muy variadas y originales, muchas de estilo vintage. Ideal para llevar los collages a un nuevo nivel. Lo recomiendo.

Beautiful images

I bought this book cause I wanted to create collages but I didn't want to expend a lot of money in new magazines or newspapers. This book has a lot of different images to create collages and also an introduction about the author of the book and how to do your own collages properly. Just love it!

great

the book is great for things to cut out and make the images have a vast choice and its about time you made another book lol

tolle Bilder

für eine Freundin, die Collagen macht, das perfekte Geschenk!

Fabulous

This is a great book, packed full of images. I didn't expect there to be so many. Definitely recommend it.

A treasure of images.

If you love collage, decoupage or scrapbooking I urge you to buy this beautiful book. I cannot praise highly enough the quality and fantastic variety of images for you to cut out. They are all printed in a way that os so easy to cut out. Do not hesitate to buy.

Excellent images

Really great images and information regarding how to make collages and a brief history of the subject

Bellissime immagini.per ottime realizzazioni

Belle immagini vintafe. Ideale per sviluppare fantasia e creatività. Si ottengono realizzazioni d'effetto con poco investimento

Compártelo! ;-)

Maravilloso! Ideal para collage! No estaba segura con que tipo de imagenes me iba a encontrar o cuantas serian "utiles" para mi...una gran sorpresa! El libro entero es muy bueno.

to cut around the image itself

Lovely book but be careful when cutting as some images are close together and can rip.

Bellissimo

Bel libro, alta qualita tipografica, già usate molte immagini.

Just Wow!

I had read the reviews for this book and was expecting to like it but it surpasses my expectations. So many good quality images of varying styles and sizes, I can’t wait to start using them, although I might need to buy a second copy just to keep!

vielfalt und guter Druck

Eine große Vielfalt von Motiven, von klassich bis lustig, und in einer echt guten Qualität. Lassen sich gut ausschneiden und verarbeiten.

Recommended

Got this to see if i could use anything in here for my collages. Everything in this book is very useful to use! All sorts of things of different styles and colours to use. Very happy with the purchase.

Wonderful collage!

Got this today and it's so scrumptious! Full to the rim with cutouts!

Consigliato.

Mi è piaciuto, è davvero ricco di immagini. Lo sta utilizzando anche mio marito perché ci sono temi interessanti per lui, come arei, automobili, sport, missioni spaziali. A me sono piaciuti molto i fiori, e gli animali, e la moda vintage...

Tolles Buch

Viele tolle Motive. Darüber hinaus ein paar schöne Beispiele, Tipps und Anleitungen. Damit kann man was anfangen!

BEAUTIFUL

AMAZING! this arrived next day and it is beautiful. Such an array of different images. So inspirational. Cant wait to start using them. Perfect and a must have for anyone decoupage or scrapbook lover. Crafting heaven!!! Well worth the money.

Eight pages of images unusable

Lovely book but four of the pages are double printed on each other so four pages are also blank were the pic should have been. Because of this, eight pages of images have been ruined and are not useable. I can't even send this back as i'm currently isolating. UPDATE Thank you for the replacement book. It is much appreciated. Beautiful images.

Lovely book

Bought this for my daughter's birthday and she loves it. I am sure that she will find that creating collages from it will be relaxing and creative. I am expecting to see the results before long!

A lovely book.

This is for a birthday present, but I won't be giving it until later in the Yr.

Fussy cutting

Fun collagebook to cut things out

Molto bello

E un libro grande di 31×23 cm, con tantissime immagini da tagliare, molto bello e particolare. Le immagini si tagliano benissimo. Consigliato

Great

Bought this for my son who loves ben giles collage perfect

Jeden Cent wert

Tolles Buch. Denke ich brauche nicht viel schreiben, da das Buch ja schon im Angebot ausreichend beschrieben ist. Bin sehr zufrieden.

Damaged book

Good images but came damaged

Wonderful image resource!

Incredible resource for collage making and a number of other projects. Such a gorgeous book, I didn't want to cut it up so I purchased two!! Plenty of inspiration, guidance and information alongside all the beautiful images.

Collage cut-out heaven

for any scrapbookers out there, or if you like to make up your own cards/stationary, this book is for you. Brilliant cross selection of images from the quirky to the cool.

Nice pictures, shame it has a little fault

Such a beautiful book with lovely images! Unfortunately my copy came with a few pages stuck together which ended up putting holes in a few pictures.
