INA!!! Firstly, thank you SO much for inviting me to participate, this was SO much FUN! I LOVE this piece and now I want to go to my grandkids house and collect up all their little bits of toys and such! You might be interested in this... While I was in NC I was told about a "Creative Reuse Center" for artists. It was a scrap store on steroids! It had all sorts of bits of junk that most would toss. I was reading about them online and they have kept millions of tons of garbage out of landfills by having these stores. There happens to be one in my area too and I can't wait to visit it! Thank you again for doing this collaboration! 💚
Thank you so very much Jeri.It was an honor to work with you . Thank you too for the tip. I looked it up and YAY ,there is one such center just 1 hour from where I live. It sound like my kind of place and I will have to check it out. I admired all your cool vintage stuff and I would love to have more of that type of junk in my collection. Thanks for enjoying my piece and for your inspiration..I love the way you work. : )
Hi Ina, 🙂 wow your finished piece is wonderful! I love how you hid the word recycle under the heart. Beautiful stone piece! Cool movable gate too! All the jewellery pieces in the background look great too. Thank you so much for including me in this collaboration, it has been really fun and I have thorougly enjoyed seeing all the other creator's pieces as well! Tfs Big hugs, Ginny xo
Thanks so much Ginny. It was great working with you and I am glad you like this piece. Those 2 stone pieces paved the way. I often get ideas from just 1 piece and then take it from there. I too loved watching everyone's project. So satisfying and fun. Big hugs to you my friend. : )
I love watching your videos Ina...I really enjoy them and find it so relaxing. Thank you even more so for inviting me into this group! I've so enjoyed watching the first three...now on to the final two...what a wonderful array of artist assemblage ideas! Not to mention so much fun to sit and watch them all at once. The best to you and thanks again!
Thanks so much Denise. I was thrilled to work with you again and I agree,.....so much fun to see everyone's ideas and creation. I actually chatted through my whole video,which is very rare for me and I am glad you found it relaxing, That's encouraging. LOL Bug Hugs to you. : )
Amazing, I'm having fun watching all the different artists, all are amazing. T love your piece and all the different pieces you used to do it with. Tfs,hope you have a blessed day ❣
So very cool! You know I love assemblage art, but the stone figure and the wing behind the cage door are just totally awesome! Off to watch the other videos!
Those 2 pieces gave me the idea of where to go. Glad you like my finale outcome. Thank you so very much Anne. PS The craft paper on the back came from your box. : )
This is again a great recycling artwork by you. I love to be inspired by you. You always discover fascinating possibilities. Thanks for that and a nice weekend I wish you. ❤👍 LG vom Tinchen
Thanks so very much Tinchen. I am always happy to hear that my projects inspire you. Recycling in art is fun and satisfying. Schoenes Wochenende auch an Dich. : )
Excellent "upcycling" - I have a grassroots art/recycle business called Upcycled Hippie where I upcycle plastic, glass, old pieces of wood which would otherwise be thrown out and other stuff/junk that can be turned into a piece of art, and hopefully a functional piece as well. This assemblage is so cool! I love it, and it has given me some great inspiration, too.
Thank you so much Gina. Your upcycle business sounds like my kind of place. Ha. I am happy you like my creation and I am glad it inspired. That's wonderful.: )
Oh My Goodness! It’s absolutely Gorgeous! I LOVE iT!! ❤️ I got so Excited & Happy when I saw your Box of Treasures! I have the same sort of Collections. 💕 I Love Recycled Art!!! 💖🤗💖
Thank you so much Barbara for your great feedback. I am so glad you enjoy my art. Collecting recycled bits and pieces is fun and messy. LOL I am just working on a new storage system to make finding things in my art room easier. : )
Oh, I meant to tell ya... The area on the (left) reminds me of a candle 🕯 and when I saw it I was like: “That’s right Lady, You let Your Creative Light Shine!” 🌟
It`s all down to your own imagination. With a piece like that there are a lot f stories you could come up with. So cleverly made, specially the moving parts and the hidden words. Brilliant piece Ina.....again.
Thanks so much Andrea. I am a bit addicted to these recycle thingies and I am happy you like them .I also found a new source of junk...so there will be more of these coming. LOL Gotta save the world. If I only could.
I am so glad you did find me Sarah. And thank you for you feedback. I hope that you will find many more projects here on my channel that you will enjoy. : )
OK, I'm back now after watching all the rest of the videos. Ina - I can't thank you enough for putting this together. I'm totally shaken by how different each artist's project was. My world of what is possible has been blown open in the best possible way. The different personal styles of each artist was also a very powerful lesson to me - everyone is different. Many attitudes are possible. There is no one or two "right" ways. These are thoughts and feelings I struggle with and it was very important to me to see so many different projects modeled - literally, the artists modeling their process for me. My mind is now whirling delightfully with all these new ideas and possibilities. Wow. Thank you, thank you.
Thank you so much Judith for your most kind and encouraging feedback. Organizing a video event around assemblages was something I wanted to do for a long time and I am so happy you enjoyed it. And yes,yes to all your meanderings. With these type of projects .the outcome is unpredictable and unique and true to yourself as there are no rules or rights. I dabbled in many art forms,but more and more I like the freedom of material and design that's dictated by nothing else but my own creativity. Junk fits so well into that category. LOL
Oh! Just wonderful Ina!!! A truly beautiful piece! I see my dear friend Ginny in your lineup! I will enjoy checking out all the others, as well! Hugs Marsha
Thanks so very much Marsha. Glad you like my piece and I hope you enjoyed the line up. Ginny was the 1st person ever to comment on my channel....we go waaaay back. LOL
I love this assemblage, Ina! Your items, colors and the composition is wonderful. And you know I like to recycle :) I´m going to take time to watch the hop (you know our summer is very short, lol), so I spend a lot of time outside. Tfs and organizing the hop, hugs, Fia
Thank you Vonalda. Your piece was just perfect . I love a bit of movement in my assemblages and I made everyone else participating do it too. Ha Glad you like the outcome. See you soon. : )
OMG SO MUCH FUN!! I get made fun of because I throw nothing away and keep “stuff” like you. I have never done assemblage but after watching you I may have to start. Thank you for a great video and sharing your art with us.
welcome Susan and thank you for your great feedback. Recycling and art ,is a win situation and satisfying, Give it a try ,using up your stuff,so you can make room for more. LOL
After watching all the other artists I now see I don't need a box! Oh, Ina, all the artist were do great. I followed all of them. You are all so inspiring.
Thanks so much Patty and yes, anything goes in assemblages. I am glad you followed the line up and got some ideas. Please give this art form a try ,so much fun and very satisfying. : )

First off, CONGRATS on hitting 10,000 subscribers! Well deserved plus a couple hundred thousand more! :-) Love this project! Your assemblages are brilliant!

Thank you so very much Debbie. I appreciate your congrats. And thank you too for your kind reaction to my assemblages.I know Mugsy and yes she creates fabulous stuff., but you can too. Start with something small and easy ...just play with it. : )
