    As a nurse I can tell you we like micropore for the fact that it doesn’t remove our patients skin when we take it off. So It’s nice to know it has another wonderful use!

    Love the background on this piece, together with the flower there is a strength to it... from the red of the flower and the old world stone-like feel I get from the background. Based on the quote and something in your voice - I wish I could give you a hug -
    Your art is telling me that you've got this! So hang in there and remember 'this too shall pass'
    Thanks for all the inspiration, especially in the last 15 months
    You are a blessing
    Take care

    Ok, I love this from how you did the background, the flower is audacious and bodacious, and the goooolllddd! I love the graphite touch, that was unexpected and made so much sense as you explained it. Your handwriting style is lovely and adds so much to the piece! I so enjoyed your video today, you create a warm spot in my heart and I know there are many more whom you touch as well! Be safe and well!💕🇨🇦

    I love the background technique done prior to the designs, and the fact that you are not trying to do this as a 5 minute project. It turned out very well! I am going to try the 3M tape! I had no idea, and have most of a box left over from an unfortunate "event"!

    Wow! what a beautifil idea to have such a background. It makes it very precious. Your red flower has lots of strength, but soffened through the background, somehow makes it fuller and gives it more depth, very naturally. The gentle dots in gold, complete this absolutly beautifully. I just love it! Thank you so much for sharing it - it has everything in it - gentalness, strength and balance - very fine, yet softly bold! 🙏💕

    I saved this to watch today after I slept off the sedative from my first cataract surgery this morning!

    I saw a video about two years ago where they suggested to use surgical tape, so I bought some and used it, and it tore my artwork to pieces. I was so shocked, because I thought I had found a solution.

    • @creationsceecee
      @creationsceecee  3 года назад +1

      that's odd. mine is the best tape i've used so far! i tried it on my sketchbook paper which is mostly cotton, then on the BeePaper that i usually use and this time it was on Arches watercolor paper and it is fantastic. i wouldn't use any tape to block over colors i've already painted but to tape your paper down to a mat, i think it's fantastic! maybe it was a different brand?

    • @karenjames8523
      @karenjames8523 3 года назад

      There is more than one type of surgical tape. Maybe the one you tried has more stick to it. The one that worked for me is very papery, almost like washi tape, not the fabric like one. Good luck if you try it again.
