SNIPPING THE STRESS AWAY

An empowering activity journal full of collage tips and 25 new pages of cut-outs to cut and glue at your will. Cutting and sticking is really easy, anyone can do it and, with a few basic supplies, like paper, scissors and a bit of glue, you’ve got yourself a great kit to start working. If you inject some purpose or personal content into your clippings, you’ll succeed in creating a language of your own which will allow you to express your worries or experiences visually. It includes a brief history of collage and practical tips and ideas to cut and paste, draw and paint, and sew and stitch using paper and everyday objects. Each double page proposes to look at things afresh, with suggestion and jumping off points to unleash the capacity for creativity and, ultimately, widen the horizons for expression. It includes 25 pages of cutouts. Rebeka Elizegi is an art director and graphic designer based in Spain where she runs the design studio Alehop, with her partner, illustrator Victor Escandell.
