I Got a Box of Free Flow Magazines… Time to Harvest Them

Описание: Gluebook with me as I start harvesting a stack of Flow magazines for collage images and paper ephemera. I’m flipping through two magazines and pulling small images, backgrounds, and interesting details for my gluebook stash.

This stack actually came from a free magazine shelf at the creative thrift store. My husband and son found a whole pile of Flow magazines and asked if they could have them. Now I have a box full of them to go through, so this is the start of a little Flow magazine harvesting series.

In this session I flip through the first two magazines and look for images
that might work in my gluebooks. I’m mostly searching for smaller filler images, backgrounds, illustrations, and interesting details that could work in future spreads.

Along the way I pull out a mix of things, vintage photos, small objects, art images, butterflies, book covers, and a few fun surprises hidden in the pages. I also show a quick look at a small collection of vintage children’s postcards I used to collect when I was an antique dealer in New York.

These harvesting sessions are part of how I build my collage stash before starting a gluebook spread. I love seeing what turns up when flipping through magazines like Flow, there are always interesting little details hiding on the pages.

If you enjoy magazine harvesting videos, there are more sessions in the playlist below, and there will definitely be more coming from this stack.

If you enjoy gluebook sessions, junk journal style collage spreads, and magazine harvesting, I upload new videos every week.
Thanks for spending time at the collage table with me.
