Collage Papers

Jane Davies' process videos are helping me find a path back to art-making, particularly working with paper and found object assemblage. When she featured her collage papers, recently, I decided to use some holiday gift money and treat myself. The book is sturdy,nicely sized, and though soft-cover, it is thick. Many beautiful and inspiring colors and patterns provide creative fodder - to that I say, Hooray!! I segued from performing art to visual art when my 'wasband' (he who was-my-husband) fought cancer at the beginning of our marriage, more than 20 years ago; this book is an invitation back to paper and flatwork. I am excited to dive in, regardless of many years away from the studio. (And, yes, wasband made it: he is alive and living another life, as am I.) Thank you, Jane, for this indirect encouragement and for sharing your talent in tangible form! I plan on emptying this book of it's contents, quite joyfully!

I thought it woulc be more of an art book -- but it's just her papers. That's fine. I'll use them.

Jane Davies is a super artist and has selected a delightful, unique collection of collage papers in this book for collage artists to use. Excellent and when I start running low on papers I will order another book of her collage papers.

Purchased for mixed media collage art. The slick paper is not easy to adhere.

I just love Jane Davies. These are just papers, though, no methods described. But I am keeping it for ideas to make my own.

Beautiful papers!

Great collage paper created by a professional artist. Perfect weight. Lovely selection.

Will enjoy using these papers

Very fine.

Les papiers dans ce livre sont magnifiques. J’ai vraiment hâte de les ajouter à mes créations. Beaucoup de diversité dans les couleurs et styles. Merci à Mme Davies.
