DIY With Petit Collage and Martha Stewart

I have blogged about Petit Collage's products a few times in the past. Their products are contemporary, stylish and fun! If you agree, then you'll love this post.

Lorena Siminovich an artist and the founder of Petit Collage appeared on Martha Stewart's show to share the DIY on how to make her beautiful owl and elephant collages on wood. These will look great in a kid's room or nursery of a new born.

It's 32 page children's picture book with each page adorned with Kate's signature charming cut-paper collages. It's a story of little girl "based on one of Kate Endle’s enduring memories from her own childhood in which she wished she could commune with the birds, frogs, rabbits, and butterflies that she encountered."

Mark Wagner's Dollar Bill Collages

Brooklyn based artist and a co-founder of the Brooklyn Artists Alliance Mark Wagner makes these spectacular collages using glue, x-acto knife and mighty American dollar bills.

Artit's statement:  "The one dollar bill is the most ubiquitous piece of paper in America. Collage asks the question: what might be done to make it something else? It is a ripe material: intaglio printed on sturdy linen stock, covered in decorative filigree, and steeped in symbolism and concept. Blade and glue transform it-reproducing the effects of tapestries, paints, engravings, mosaics, and computers—striving for something bizarre, beautiful, or unbelievable... the foreign in the familiar".

“Liberty” 

It took one year and 1,121 dollar bills, that were then meticulously cut into 81,895 individual pieces, to make this piece.
