Yes indeed! The lovely peeps at Lark Crafts and the author Randel Plowman have provided you lucky Craft Gossip Recycling readers the opportunity to win a copy of the new book The Collage Workbook: How to Get Started and Stay Inspired and an original signed collage by the author. To get yourself in the running leave a note here in the comments section of today’s post by Wednesday June 20, 2012 and you are in the running! (Open to U.S. Residents only)
What a cool opportunity to own a piece of original art! I think having art from others is just as cool as making it yourself. Which is exactly what The Collage Workbook inspires you to do (it did me!) and it was so easy with the cool prompts and wonderful images included on each page of The Collage Workbook, oh and image library!
More about the book from the publisher Lark Crafts:
“Both a popular hobby and a recognized art form, collage encompasses a wide range of creative styles and techniques–explored here by the creator of the popular A Collage a Day blog. Offering step-by-step instruction, visual inspiration, and even a library of copyright-free images, this hands-on guide covers all the necessary materials, tools, and know-how, from adding color and transferring images, to décollage (tearing away layers). And to spark the reader’s imagination, there are 52 creativity prompts, such as a collage using the letters of a single word.
Randel Plowman is the founder of the popular blog A Collage A Day (http://acollageaday.blogspot.com). His art has been exhibited in solo and juried exhibitions throughout the United States and abroad; cited in The New York Times and USA Today; featured in How Design, Artist Magazine, and Somerset Studio; and graced the covers of numerous books. Randel resides in Madison, Wisconsin.“

It would be so amazing to win this book and the art! I’ve been watching Randel Plowman’s art sell on his blog. It’s very affordable, but everytime there’s a piece I really want, it’s sold before I get there. Guess I don’t go look often enough. Having the book to learn from would be a joy!
I’m going to be teaching collage to a group of kids this summer. What a great find!
What a great giveaway!
I’ve followed Randel Plowman’s work for several years and applaud his tenacity in offering daily collages (how does he create such a varied amount of beauty on a daily basis!) and now a wonderful instruction book!

This looks like a good book to get started in collage- I’d love to win. Thank you for creating and offering!
Collage is a favorite art form of mine
Okay, if I don’t win this I will need to see if the library has it! Although, as I have 100s of other projects in the workings, at least in my mind, I might have to put it on the back burner. I love collage and am always drawn to it at art shows and galleries. I’m not confident I could do it myself but would love to try. Thanks for this opportunity and the info on a great book.
Randel is amazing. Hope his book has many reprints; he is a great teacher as well as a collage genius.
