You can often get these at thrift stores. -And/or treat yourself: go to your local drug store to buy a few magazines ahead of time — enjoy them first — then you’ll have them for collaging! -Look for titles with lots of captivating full-page images. -You can also use coloured and patterned papers, newspapers, packaging, letters, old computer prints, stationery, painted papers, gelli prints, gift wraps, specialty papers, etc. -I like to buy scrapbooking paper pads at Wal-mart or Michaels — you can find some great solid colours, textures, patterns, etc. and they’re often acid-free. Online Image Sources -If you have a printer, you can search for images online and print them out for collaging. -If you’re going to re-work any image enough, copyright no longer applies — but if you want copyright-free images, here are a few good resources: Flickr Commons -Copyright-free images from dozens of Archives, Libraries, museums, and other organizations around the world.
