What’s a gluebook, anyway?

I make a lot of collage art and put them in things like gluebook. But what is a gluebook exactly? There isn’t a definitive answer, but it’s not a difficult idea to wrap your head around. A gluebook is a “book” where you glue things (like a collage) in. The following are some examples: A …

November 18, 2016 By //  by Margarete Miller Leave a Comment

September 18, 2015 By //  by Margarete Miller Leave a Comment

I find that collage art is not easy. I love making collages but it doesn’t come naturally to me. Some people can easily throw something together while I take what seems like forever to do a single spread of pages. I’ve wanted to start using up lots of the bits and pieces of scrap paper …
