Cut, collage, and craft your way through this elegant collection of vintage images, including botanical illustrations, playful animals, nostalgic typography, decorative patterns, and more!

Inside, you’ll find a carefully curated collection of 2;000 vintage images ready for you to cut; layer; and transform into your own works of art. Luxe materials―including 16 pages printed with shimmering gold ink―mean that each page cuts; handles; and glues like a dream. Each spread has been expertly compiled by the team at English design studio Roomytown to create a portal to the past. They have spent countless hours trawling through hidden corners of history to find these gems; and each piece is a fragment of design ephemera waiting for a new chapter. Now it’s your turn to bring them into your own creative projects. Whether you’re journaling; making art; or just rediscovering the simple joy of cutting and sticking; this book is designed to inspire. There are no rules―only possibilities. Use these images to personalize your journal; make unique cards for friends; dream up wall art; or simply explore ideas on a rainy afternoon. The Collage Compendium is the perfect gift or self-purchase for any artist or crafter.
