Make Keepsake Jewelry with Collage Art
Two Ways to Create!
What is collage art?
A collage is a work of art made from assembling different forms thus creating a new whole one. A collage may include bits of colored or hand-made papers, pre-printed designs, photographs and charms or other found objects. You can create collage jewelry using the glaze or soldered method. The origins of collage can be traced back hundreds of years, but this technique made a dramatic reappearance in the early 20th century as an art form of novelty.
