Each artist is interviewed and interesting questions are asked about their creative process, their inspiration and why they choose to use the materials that they do. Multiple pieces of their artwork are shown. One project is featured with stepped-out directions and photos so you can learn their technique.The five artists profiled and directions for their project are:1. Laurinda Bedingfield: 3D collage book sculpture with photographs2. Barbara DePirro: using acrylic gel medium to create the look of encaustic3. Paula Grasdal: printmaking and collage4. Sharon McCartney: mixed-media multi-paneled wall hanging5. Teesha Moore: mixed-media journal pageSection two is a gallery of two pieces of artwork from 20 different contemporary mixed-media artists. The information includes brief technique explanation, inspiration, and a list of supplies used.The strengths of this book are that there is a great variety of type of artwork represented. This is not a book of fads and trends. It was clear to me that each artist is following their own voice and making their own unique kind of art that they enjoy working with. For this reason I treasure the book, because there are other publications on the market which seem to display the `trend of the season'. This book is fresh and unique. Just seeing different types of artwork and seeing these artists using their own inner voices to guide their art (even if I personally didn't love the look of all of it) made me want to go and make some art.The book closes with some essays on the topic of the artist on the Internet. Directions on how to do photo transfers and how to do encaustic collage are provided.The book has a products resource guide, a vendor listing and a directory of all the artists featured in the book.The paper in the book is high quality glossy paper. The layout is very nice and the photographs are in full-color. This was very nicely put together.I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in mixed-media collage. If you love to read about what inspires artists and about people's creative process you will really enjoy this book.On a more personal note...My personal take-away from this book is a feeling of freedom of expression and a desire to go make my own personal style of art. In the past I have felt uncomfortable when I was creating art that was not the current trend, especially after reading certain books or a certain art magazine. Also while doing mail art swaps I have been criticized for making art that is not the hot fad of the day, for using different colors or materials than some people were. I personally don't plan to copy the work of these artists even though there are stepped out directions for five projects. What each of us takes away from a book is unique and that is alright.I also really enjoy reading about what inspires artists and what their creative process is like. I smiled when I read that one artist creates while sitting on her living room floor with images all around her. I prefer more talk of the creative process and inspiration rather than the books that only feature the finished art piece yet leave me wondering, "What was the artist thinking, why did they make that?". ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good reference book *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2020* Great Book ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful buy! *by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2013* Generously illustrated with examples from current work, showcasing several artists in particular. Too bad it had a huge exacto-knife slash across the front that went several pages deep. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/19370776-mixed-media-collage-an-exploration-of-contemporary-artists-methods-materials](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/19370776-mixed-media-collage-an-exploration-of-contemporary-artists-methods-materials) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
