    I know this is way past the date of this video but after ordering this book, I just had to comment on what a GORGEOUS book it is! My head hurts from all the ideas I’m getting! The only project I’ve done so far is a card for a friend’s birthday…it shows her wearing a crown, her dog, and me in the background and we are both holding wine glasses LOL She loved it! I’ve been going thru my paint stash and painting old papers and pages, too. Fairly new subbie here as well! You hooked me after watching your video based on Arne and Carlos’ book. Thank you for an infusion of creativity that will last my lifetime💕

    Just got this book and I love it. I've been using deli paper but the newsprint is much easier to handle for me. This was sooo helpful! Thank you - love the work you created!

    I just bought this book and made my first collage (cityscape). Your tip about deli paper and alcohol ink for a translucent look was PRICELESS. I needed to make clouds and that would have been perfect. But love your review and I too LOVE THIS BOOK.
    thanks!!

    As soon as you showed the book in your other video I ordered the book! I received it yesterday but haven't had time to look through it. I'm a fan of all of your book suggestions! I admire that you actually use your books to try out the various projects but I'm not quite there yet. You are very inspiring! Thank you! 💗

    Hi Melanie I am relatively new subscriber of about 3 months to your channel. I purchased this book under your recommendation and OMG thank you so much for sharing books by Lynda Barry. I LOVE the book, Syllabus and have went on to purchase Several of her other books of which I am currently savoring, Making Comics. I’m in LOVE with her book and approach to art. I also purchased the Idea Book by Arne and Carlos thanks to you😀 after watching your videos and creating 2 books in this method ( and another in progress ) I really appreciate you sharing your ideas. I’m not as successful in all the ideas, but I do know with practice I can improve. I look forward to any up and coming and even revisiting your other videos.. time and time again. Thank you very, very much. Be well.

    Fabulous, book ordered. Another UK collage artist is Emily Schofield (Art with Em), she uses the same technique as Clover Robin, along with coloured pencils.

      Update: I just looked back through the magazine I was talking about and saw that it IS the same lady! I should have known. I poured over the pictures of her work for so long... it was my favorite part of this volume of Project Calm!!!!!!!! I need that book! Thank you so much for sharing.

    Absolutely love this! I found it because I've had this book in my wishlist for a while and it's out of stock right now! So, I was just searching around for it online and I'm so happy I found this video! Your work is incredibly inspiring and now I'm sure I'll snatch that book up as soon as it's available again!

    I love Clover Robin! I discovered her a few days ago on Instagram and I cannot stop looking at her art. Thanks for showing her book so well, I could not resist getting it on Amazon! (compulsive shopping?? XD)
    By the way, your own collages are amazing, especially the self portrait! I hope to get to be as good as you are :) I am still a collage beginner

    Love the collages you made...I was at a Thrift Shop today and bought “Decorative Papercuttong” by Akiko Murooka. It’s not quite what you’re doing (a little more precise) but has some good ideas anyway. I may try my hand at paper cutting yet! Thnx Melanie.

    • @MelanieSullivan
      @MelanieSullivan  4 года назад

      I have an Epson Artisan 1430 inkjet printer. It's a large-format (up to 11x17") printer that was marketed for printing photographs. It has six separate ink cartridges and I go through a lot of ink, but it prints like a dream. I think this model is discontinued, but maybe you can find them used. It's a great printer.

    Is there a copyright issue when you use those papers from magazines, book pages, and sheet music and publish your artwork in any form?

    • @MelanieSullivan
      @MelanieSullivan  4 года назад

      Copyright is such a complicated subject. As far as using small portions of book pages and sheet music in your artwork, I think most of it would fall under fair use and as it has been massively transformed from its original purpose, so I'm not too worried about it. There's a lot of good information out there on copyright law and art, but just be sure what you're reading is actually coming from an attorney. Good luck!
