 Fun & funky April 14, 2008
Tracy inspires you to get your hands inky and have a ball! I recently took an all-day class with Tracy in which we made the "Big Sac" featured in this book. The time just flew by, we all had a blast, and I get tons of compliments on my finished bag. I spent another day dyeing paper towels, which are so much fun to use in collage. These projects are perfect for someone who is just getting into collage and doesn't want to use "precious" materials - for the price of a roll of paper towels and a few dye re-inkers, you can make wonderful art and have a great time doing it!
 Young, Fun and Very Pop Culture Collage Techniques February 23, 2008
This book on collage is a hit with all my high school art girls. It is the juice starter for even the most reluctant art students. I warn you all to get ready for big mess making and a lot of fun. Tracy also has some great tips for us seasoned artists that need a few news trick in our bag. There is a dvd also that makes a great companion to her book.
Refreshing! February 9, 2008
I got this book when it first came out because the reviews sounded so interesting and I had seen Traci's work featured in magazines. The thing I love most about this book is that it features lots of COLOR and originality as opposed to lots of vintage photos of people with dunce hats, clown hats, butterfly wings and angel wings nestled into muted walnut-ink-stained backgrounds. I refer to this book often for inspiration and I really appreciate that it incorporates sewing. I have a degree in graphic design but sewing has remained a love of mine for 45 years. The softness of fabric, along with the usefulness and permanence it offers, give it the edge over just paper.
Unleash Yourself! November 12, 2007

I love art books but prefer to check them out from the library instead of buying them - I'd rather spend my $$ on supplies. However, when I find a book I want to refer to over and over again, I buy it. This is one of those books! Traci takes you from simple, quick techniques to more in-depth, time-intensive projects. The best part? With a little time & patience, ANYONE can master anything presented in Collage Unleashed. Traci's fun & free spirit drips off every page as she encourages you to use color and fun in your art. With clear directions, lots of pictures and a wide variety of great ideas, this book is a definite MUST HAVE. Collage Unleashed is the polar opposite of "stuffy" - you will find new techniques and lots of inspiration. Just be prepared - the eye candy contained in this book will have you trying fun new things before you know it!
A mixed-media must-have... October 5, 2007
If you want a book that will push the envelope in helping you create beautiful paper art, then this is it! I first saw Traci Bautista featured on a DIY crafting show, and that is how I found out about her talent and her book, Collage Unleashed. Her fun use of color and her graphic styling is what drew me to this book.
In her book, Traci uses some of the most interesting background coloring techniques to jazz up plain paper for use in collaging, paper crafting and journal making. Written in easy-to-understand wording, she inspires the reader with her painting and stamping techniques, and adds artful wording to the mix to create a unique look of layered, graffiti-style art on paper.
If you love colorful mixed-media art, collaging, stamping and paper crafting, I think you'll love this book as much as I do.
