I like the combination of the different pieces of the repurposed on the handmade paper the meld together into something exciting and new. If you do decide to try out other layouts it would still be good too. I like to repurpose items for us in my art ie rusty flattened bottle caps, bent rusty nails, paper I’ve painted on that I can’t throw out. I never realized there was someone out there like me. Hello friend…

Hi Dani It’s me again , Lorraine. Wow! What an exciting journey you had with your fiber arts piece. I hear you. I liked your using the u shape in describing the ride you took in this creation. You stuck with it through the hard part really feeling your way along in the dark. I made a saguaro at sunset in 1978 pieced and quilted.. it is 31x44 inches, truly a labor of love. I used to have a calico cat like Dahlia who had the sweetest disposition and the most precious mew. As you have guessed by now I’m binge watching your channel. So fun and interesting, Thank you for putting your creativity out there,

I LOVE kitty cats. Clover is so beautiful and fluffy. Now to your art. You do lovely and intuitive collage. I like listening as you meander along your creation. You are a wise young woman. I like doing collage along with abstract painting. I don’t plan out my work , but like you I do what I feel. I’m new to art even though I’m 68 years old. I was one who on,y knew how to paint stick figures. I’m surprised at what comes out at the end of my paintbrush. My family never did anything artistic, never discussed art ,. Nothing. However when I was 14 I was very depressed and started tearing pictures out of magazines. One day I decided to glue them on a board in a fashion that pleased me. In my mind I invented collage never having seen anything like it in my life. Fast forward from the mid 79’ s through the 80’s while raising four children on my own. I took them to museums bought art books when I couldn’t afford them and exposed them to all the art I could. To this day all are artistic choosing their own style and genre. Art was part of what has saved me from depression. Whe I create my stomach does flip flops and there is a quickening in my heart and wrist. Thank you for sharing your art with me. And thank you for listening.

Loved watching you create this fun and unique art. You’ve inspired me to get back into collaging. I will definitely be returning . Currently I do abstract painting in series work

Always love your insights😊 I'm on this path myself and the resonance of your experience feels good to my soul. Thanks Dani for sharing your journey!🧡

fantastic video, watched and enjoyed till the end ☺☺

Awesome and fun!❤

You are a breath of fresh air. Thank for you for being you. I love your videos❤️👩‍🎨

I loved that

Fun! Love your videos!

I’m gonna start making pages with the little scraps, I love that❣️. I wondered too, how long did it take to do the page full of polka dots, a grid & a square flower❓. I wouldn’t have the serenity for that🤣🤣. Just lovely🦋🦋🦋

That is a very comfy looking cat ☺☺

Magnificent!!

Simple and delightfully whimsical! Your sweet kitty is a great helper.

Wow- your creativeness is totally awesome, I love your creative space, having some plants and all your materials, and the calmness, espresso like hearing the birds. Thank you for your mixed media collages, I love collaging also, and I save all scraps too! You’re an inspiration to all pf the creative world!

❤ Love how this whole video vlog was presented through the progression of that final piece...loved how you shared your journey.

wanna collab? i love your style and i would love to see how our very different art forms would come together!

I love your work, I loved the cat collage and would like to see the process !

Great video! Thank you.

I like the use of textured background. It's an added nuance. I'm mainly a collage artist and was baffled, at first, as to what the heck you could do with those teensy bits. You amazed me. Thank you for expanding my understanding.

Thanks Dani, I always wanted to do something with my scraps, I have so much and don't want to get rid of 'em!!😅 Now I know why!👍🏼

Wow!!❤ from paper making to even binding, that is great!

Love this!!❤ I like the texture background! You've got a new youtube and insta subscriber in me! Just discovered you and I find it really inspiring, your narration is calm and like the process☺️

Very nice! This is a great prompt to get one's creative juices flowing. Always, I love the sounds of the birds in the background.

Watching, listening and being inspired by your work is like a fine relaxing meditation to me. Nice to see your successes on IG as well. Thank you for your time in sharing your art with us.

I absolutely love sorting my collage fodder! 🎉🎉🎉

I can relate to the repurposing, it’s hard to throw away some packaging,boxes etc. I’m also a collage artist, and I love to make my own pots and vessels out of recycled materials. But it’s easy to become overrun with rubbish 😅 looking forward to exploring your channel! 👍🙏🙌🙌🙌

This is so pleasing to the eye. Great idea. Thank you for sharing ☺️ ❤️ love your helper 🥰

Love your process, arrangements and Composition of this collage. Interesting breakdown of the synopsis, behind your reasons for selecting collage papers, the Juxtapositions of each piece and the history of being a valued and repurposed entity in your art work. Love your channel. Keep on creating and inspiring us. Have a beautiful day 🌈📚🎨🌻💜

First time watcher, and now a subscriber. Loved watching and listening to your video. I don’t really do collage. I love the idea of it, but can never seem to get the hang of it. However, you’ve inspired me to relook at it. And I adore your beautiful studio kitty cat. You were spot on about her not being able to resist the tissue paper. My studio cat is very similar - see an art project - must sit. 😻 I’m looking forward to your next video, and will go back and check out all the ones I’ve missed. Thanks!

This is fascinating, watched and enjoyed till the end ☺☺

You know as an artist, i believe if we can touch peoples emotions , our purpose is complete. I absolutely loved this video. Made me cry. We feel the soul of the work . We feel the love tgat is put into it. I believe there is no beautiful or ugly art. But thank you, i really have to say, it's beautiful.

I live it and the idea of re purpose. I like the idea of those bits from old art, life paper ect being used in my art. Thankyou for sharing xx

nice

I love it!!! ❤️

Aren't you a breath of fresh air. Subscribing!

I love repurposing paper and use in college and other sorts of art projects! I love all your ideas, and the projects you create!❤️

This has been my most favorite video/podcast. I was inspired to look at my resources differently and not be so ready to purge what i deemed to small or insignificant. To slow down and look deeper to appreciate the beauty in shape and color and texture individually instead of seeking beauty as an outcome of the process, but to more deeply appreciate the process itself. I realized as I was writing this that this is a great way to look at life...to slow down to see and to appreciate each individual experience and person even, that we encounter, to seek the beauty within them . And what a great way to bridge differences and divides ...art to life , life to art. The outcome....to see the world and each other more deeply and appreciate them all for the good and beauty they posess instead of being so quick to dismiss so quick to ignore and deem seem insignificant....and we realky cannot hate that which we have discovered beauty in, that which we have come to appreciate for the details that give it individual beauty. ❤

Loved the whole process, and the help of your cat, did you use crayons, in your art media process? Thank you, really enjoyed it!❤

what a stunning process, watched and enjoyed till the end 😊😊

Excellent

Thanks Dani. I love the unique process of just dropping the pieces and the symbolism of letting go. It's so freeing yet empowering. So happy to be inspired and learn a new art technique for my Visual Journaling (VJ). I'll have a go first before sharing at my VJ class for seniors next week at our public library.

What a great way to get your left brain out of the way and let the universe join in with your process. I love the result!

Ooooo that’s sounds like a fun way to do collage❣️❣️. I’ll definitely do this🩷🩷🩷🩷

This is so fun, what a wonderful process ☺☺

Thank you for sharing this process. It really worked for me being a Virgo perfectionist and wanting to control! I am definitely trying this out. I was thinking of the trimming of the edges before you then said you had framed it to allow them to flow over. Again I was already perfecting it but that works so well!! I would never have thought of that. Have you tried dropping the pieces all at once too??? That would be harder to stick down but fun too.

I happen to paint in a similar kind of way but I never thought to apply it to collage art. Although my process continues further by taking the play into a bit more controlled final product. Even some of the pieces that end up looking like they were entirely planned out start the same way. I allow the paint to decide what it wants to become and then I allow it to use my hands to finesse it. It’s always a pleasure seeing you at work. This gave me an idea I can use in my classroom with my students who struggle with their collages. I had one of my classes make scrappy collages and some just couldn’t figure out the idea of taking random scraps and arranging them into a pleasing composition. Maybe this would let them experiment a little and loosen them up.
