Concertina book made of old book pages with painted watercolor leaves
Making books is one of my passions. This concertina book is made of pages thorn out for my altered children's book I used for my Monday mornings mixed media pieces. I have painted leaved from my fall garden with my watercolors I bought in Assisi.

Collage with pic from my trip to Umbria

A collage med with some of the pic/photos I took when I was in Umbria, Italy. I like to take close ups of all kinds of things, save the pic on my camera roll, mail them to myself, put them in a word document where I can scale them up and down and then print them out and make collages of them. A nice memory of my trip. Link to my video on my travel tales: My new lovely watercolors from Gallo www...

This pieces, is 20 x 20 cm. I used heavy felt as my substrate. Link ...

    A fun project! Small enough to easily complete. Using the book pages from your altered book helps use them instead of throwing them away. And now I know a word in Danish, pensel (paintbrush)!!

    • @lisbethdegn-dragenkunst
      @lisbethdegn-dragenkunst 12 минут назад

      brush/pensel Oh my think I have said it wrong 95% of the times. Every day incredible many book get destroyed so I don’t think it sacrilege to use some of them for art projects.

    I love this project and your but never mind attitude so much. Also, your English is amazing and I never cease to be impressed by Europeans who speak a multitude of languages. My husband’s family are all in Norway and they make it so easy for me to visit. Even my mother in law, who just passed in September, 4 days short of her 100th birthday, spoke wonderful English, though she didn’t think so. I only speak English and food Spanish, lol. Time to hit Duolingo!

    Your leaves are beautiful. Where I live there’s not a huge variety of leaves, because I’m in the middle of the city, so I like to paint or draw leaves out of my imagination. It’s also fun 😁🌱🍁🍃🍂🌿 Have a great weekend, Lisbeth 🤎🧡❤️💚💛🤎🧡❤️💚💛

    Dear Lisbeth, I have enjoyed your videos wherever and whenever I could find them. :) I love your intuitive work, and agree that sometimes we don't know why a color or a design appeals to us - while others may/do not - which, I think, is the artist's sense about those things. In other words, that is ART, a freedom, a unique way of perceiving our world. Please continue delighting and inspiring us, any day of the week! Thank you for your generosity, Susan

  • @MegRyan-sn3eq
    @MegRyan-sn3eq День назад

    Brava, Lisbeth. This is wonderfully inspiring. To respond to your question, I will watch your videos on whatever day you post them. Interestingly, this has been a busy week, so I watched your video today (Thursday). Despite it not being Monday, when my cat heard your voice on the video, she came galloping into the living room to sit next to me while I watched.

    P.S. I would love to see how you make landscapes using gel prints, and your demo book. P.P.S. I think you should upload your videos on any day that is convenient for you, and that makes sense for your schedule. P.P.P.S. Are you talking about the golden ratio? Which, if I remember, is the 2/3-1/3 proportion of composition? I often use that because it is so naturally pleasing to the eye.

Monday isn’t necessarily when I watch it, but I would love if you would do something on a regular basis. It’s fun and creative, it inspires me and videos like yours keep me sane and help me to stay calm in this crazy world. I’m not sure about the Mondays , maybe Sunday afternoon or evening would be better. Probably more people would watch, rather than on a Monday, cause of work. I‘d say you try out uploading videos at different times. I really hope you continue with something. 💖💖💖

    It’s been so nice to have accompanied you on this journey through this amazing book. All pages have their own uniqueness and they’re all so beautiful. For me, Monday or any other day is fine. I watch the videos whenever the artists post them. I think you should choose the day that better suits you. I also don’t know what’s happening on social media, which is not social anymore. On facebook I only post on Kathryn’s group, I don’t even bother posting anywhere else. I tried two other groups, but almost no one interacted. It’s a bit like instagram now. Well, it’s always a pleasure to interact with you here, any day you choose ♥️💛💛🩵💚🩷💜🧡💙🤎❤️

    What a coincidence! I’m sitting here watching your video while I work on a collage, and the background is a gel print I made with my all-time favorite paint color-Quinacridone nickel azo gold. I was so sad when Golden discontinued this color, but fortunately I had bought a large 16-oz (473 ml) bottle. I have enjoyed watching this series, each week a different approach. I look forward to seeing what you come up with for your next project.
