I love these! 💓 I don't like things super glossy either but I found that another way to knock the gloss back is to dab it lightly with a folded up piece of paper towel while it's still wet. The advantage of the gloss medium is that it makes tissue paper really transparent when you collage it on top of another element.
I was so taken with the colorful layered background I completely forgot about the birds. Wow. What a beautiful combination of elements. And so many tips! Glad I found you. By the way, what is a D Ring for hanging? Does it look like a soda can tab?
Thank you so much for your kind words! Yes, the D ring looks similar to a soda can tab. It is just a piece of metal that looks like the letter D, and on the straight part, there is another metal tab coming out with a hole in it. The hole is meant to have a screw screwed into it to attach it to the piece for hanging!
Thanks for sharing these, I really love them. It was a treat getting to watch you bring life to them. It's funny, your favorite gelli print you used is very similar to one of my favorites I have made and it lays around waiting for that special piece..lol Thanks again! I look forward to what's next.
Thank you for checking out my video! Isn’t it funny how we hold these things so dear, as if we couldn’t just make something similar to use again? But I do the same thing. I will have these bits and pieces of things that I deem as perfect, and so they just sit there, and never get used.🤣🤣
Hi! All of the papers were handmade by me. If you are interested in seeing that, I do have a few videos on making collage papers! I will add a materials list in future videos, though. Great idea!☺️
Hi! I’m sorry, I’m not exactly sure which part you are talking about? I made this video about 10 months ago, so it’s not right at the front of my brain, lol! Where specifically in the video are you asking about?
Everyone has been asking, and I can’t remember where I got it! 😭😭😭 I feel like I had to have ordered it off of Amazon, but it’s not in my past order history. I’ve been racking my brain for days, trying to remember, and if I do, I promise you, I will come back on here and let you know! ☺️
Thank you so much! I just started an Etsy store recently, and I show in galleries and do a few vendor shows and artist markets. Most of sales typically come from social media, though! ☺️
Love your technique. The birds are so fun! Where did you get the circular stencil? I’ve been looking for something similar and figured I would have to make it.
I am racking my brain trying to remember where I got that stencil! 🤣🤣🤣 I assumed it would’ve been Amazon, but I just looked through all of my past orders, and it’s not on there. I was ordering some things off of Temu for a while, but I also looked at those past orders, and it didn’t come from there… Possibly Michael’s or Dollar Tree. If I figure it out, I will definitely message you back!
@@ArtworkByMelissaReed Thank you so much for trying to figure it out. It’s a really great stencil. Looking forward to seeing all the bird panels together. 😃 I’m really enjoying your videos.
If I can ever figure out where I got the stencils, I will definitely let you know, lol! 🤣🤣🤣 I did look on Amazon, and they do sell stencil packs similar, so I’m thinking it must’ve been Amazon, though I’m looking in my order history and it just isn’t there. I will, for sure let you know, though, if I can figure this mystery out! ☺️
@@ArtworkByMelissaReed You are awesome! Thank you for continuing to look. I’ve been looking too with every descriptive word I can think of to get the right one. 😂
Just so you know, there are quite a few junk journalists out there that sell their work for a handsome price. So its not like we all do it for " no one else to see". JS
I love the whimsy and vibrant palette

Beautiful this bird series .. If you could also add a list of papers and some of the other paints, pens and supplies you use it would also be great..

What did you drop on the blue to get thr circle out lined in white? Love everything esp the "birdies"
Thank you for sharing.

I want that large circle stencil. It looks kind of like a nest, or a circle around a planet. What stencil company is it?
Everyone has been asking, and I can’t remember where I got it! 😭😭😭

I love your bird panels!! So creative. Where do you sell your art?
Thank you so much!
