You keep saying you are just playing but I think you are a true artist. It's fascinating watching the processes of turning a little pile of bits and pieces into something beautiful. I learn so much from watching your videos. Thank you for sharing it all.
The remarkable information you share is so very important to me. I’m learning so much from you. I’m intrigued by your trained eye. When you mentioned flatness, it was immediately obvious! Fake stitching! Love it!
I am always just going to pop in and let you inspire me for a few mins then get to work making something, and then i get totally sucked in and end up spending the day and into the night watching you.. I think I would watch you do anything. your so creative and no little detail is left out. You have a big fan in South Mississippi..
Thank you so much! You are so sweet to share your beautiful talents with us and teach us what to do!! So generous of you!! I love hearing you giggle when you’ve done something wonky! Now I must go rummage through the bins of my crafty friends! Lol!💕
Thanks for taking us through the "process" of a collage tag!! Most people just do it but don't exactly explain "why" it works. It's great to get that information. Thank you for taking time to do so! I, too, love hearing the gulls in the background! It's such a pleasing sound. I laughed out loud when you said you were rummaging around in your sister's bin for "treasures"!!😁 It's amazing what we love and think we can do things with. Again, thank you!!
Andrea, I only recently found you on RUclips. You have jaw-dropping artistic gifts! I doubt other people can "just mess around and see what happens" and get results like yours. But thanks for the chance to see genius at work!
I am blown away by this video and have learned so much in this one alone. Thank you for your generosity in sharing all of your many tips and tricks with us. Just turned on my notification bell and look forward to more of your expertise !!
Normally I do not repeat everything I see, hear or read. BUT!!!! DITTO on these comments about your works. Your videos have progressed to a wonderful standard. You aren't as shy as in the very beginning!! Hugs to you and Thank you Andrea!
Oh that page that said Around the Cotswolds brought back so many happy memories as I was fortunate to live in Oxford for a year and spent hours in the beautiful Cotswolds walking and having fun!!❤️
ARTYmaze There was a tea room that we went to there! It’s been so long ago now but I believe that there was a public walking path too. I really miss those days!💕
Today is May 1st and I have just spent the whole day watching your channel. Its now 6.30pm and have had the best day. Thank you so much for your inspiration ❤❤❤
I just started watching this series of videos and I've learned so much from you. They have given me so much inspiration! Thank you for sharing your process.
I'm a new subscriber, and I've been binge watching your videos 😊 I really enjoy them, and I really love hearing the seagulls in the background 😄 thank you for your time putting these videos together ❤🇬🇧
This was time well spent! You are very easy to follow. Fun to listen to you process color, texture, design and final arrangement~ beautiful, soft colors. So happy to come across your channel. Looking forward to more and more!!! TY
Great tutorial, this procedure can be confusing, but looks like you have to be brave, and go for it. It’s the knowing when to stop that can get one in trouble. Looks great though I would have a hard time collaging over the top. The end result is beautiful and worth all the work. You have inspired me to give this a try. Thanks so much. Barb
I just cannot thank you enough for this series. It is an art lesson that I could not get anywhere else. I am learning so much about colors and layers and Gesso. You are so lovely for sharing your knowledge with us. Thanks again!
Andrea, it is more than really nice, it is lovely. I am so enjoying your series, I know I keep repeating myself but all that you do is totally new for me to do. I have been building up my junk, my Amazon packaging and brown paper and all the envelopes etc. I save my jelly pots for mixing paint and ink and my food trays so I am all ready to go from May. Am busy prepping for my brother to decorate my studio flat but once he has gone then 'bingo'. I love all of them but I think my favourite is the tall thin one. I think it reminds me of my little granddaughter who I call 'Buttercup'. Thank you, oh yes I love the stitching, you were right. 😃xox
Love the stitching gives your work that extra dimension! You are a true gem Andrea to be so generous sharing your ideas. Can’t get enough of the sea gulls , brings back the Cornish memories! Oxo
Never done journaling before two weeks ago. I watched another lady who said about you. Well she was not wrong. You and that lady got me interested. I have started my first book. Thanks both. I can do crafts but been so inspired by you both. Xxxxxx thanks
What beautiful creations Andera love your tips and ideas for your process videos.. I love the different textures and colours you use they always turn out stunning for your gorgeous journals. Love the materials you use from odds and ends of scraps and make wonderful things from just love it. Thankyou so much for taking the time to share your amazing work.
I loved watching how you manoeuvred all the elements until you felt they were in righty place where you wanted them. They have turned out amazing. Looking at these they look so very complicated especially if a newbie was looking at them, but going through the process that you do by showing us how to do it is amazing. You could easily think oh wow they are gorgeous but I'll never be able to make these, that's why I love that you do these tutorials as anyone can do their own take based on what you create. All of the items you've used we all have lying around so it's wonderful that you do these based on what we all have. Yet looking at the end results you'd never think they were just scraps. Thank you for another amazing tutorial xxBerne
I really enjoy your videos, you're inspiring and spontaneous, a natural. If feels like I'm right there with you, and having a fun time. Your laughter in infectious 😊🌸 tfs x And thank you for being so generous with your ideas and your work. You make it easy!

I have had pneumonia and was on life support for a while but when I was able I watched you and did some crafting and laughing which helped me heal faster. 🤣 thank you for being you and being so natural and not putting on a show. Love ya and hug ya 😘❤️ Deena ( juno63)

Thanks Andrea for this great tutorial! I love the mixed media collaged look, but have been afraid to try it, silly, huh? It's only paper after all, if I don't like it I can start over! Love your tuts! tfs blessings from Michigan state, USA
These are beautiful! I've just recently joined your facebook group and I'm so glad I did! I've never tried collage but I love the look and I am grateful to see this kind of step by step of the process. I am finally going to try my hand at it, thank you so much for the tutorial.
Wow! You are a true artist! Thanks you so much for this amazing tutorial. I appreciate so much that you share your knowledge. It means so much to this newbie!

You inspire me so much, I learn some new every single time.. I LOVE Layering but find it hard to do, I probably need more and better choices of papers, you make it look so easy. Thew sewing adds so much extra detail, I have no way to sew, so I have faux stitching rubber stamps. Thank you so much for sharing your art and videos with us.. You are a wonderful teacher. Stay beautiful.

Ok, not to worry, it’s a nice stamp.

Is gesso and modge podge the same think?
Sherry Rector hi no they are not. Just type them in google and it will give you a great description to both. X
What did you put the blue paper down on the postcard with? You also put a layer of it on top?
I glued down with Matt medium which can be applied on the top too. X
