You are a surreal collage art QUEEN Barbie! You have the best imagination and I always look forward to watching you having fun!

@NellieandRuthDesigns 10 месяцев назад

Thank you Melodie, these are just too much fun. You're a faithful subbie and I so appreciate you! xo

Love this! I really enjoy surreal collage. Lately I’ve been playing with post cards. The small format can be quite challenging. Thanks for sharing your process. I always enjoy watching other artists work and learning about how they approach materials and ideas.

@NellieandRuthDesigns 10 месяцев назад

Thank you very much for tuning in. I am loving the surreal collage art and would love to work with the post card format. I'm sure it is a challenge with the smaller size. I'd love to check out your work!

@joymeadows3646 10 месяцев назад

Hi, Barbie! What an imagination you have! You are right - this type of collage does take time and thought as to what works for it. Sometimes I can come up with a great idea and other times I am not so good at it. It is fun to just let it happen. You don't seem to ever run out of ideas and I love watching you bring it all together.

@NellieandRuthDesigns 10 месяцев назад

Thank you so much Joy 🎉 I made one collage and didn't post it, after it sat around for a bit I didn't like it anymore 🙃🙃 some good days, some bad days. I'd love to see some of your collages!! xo

Hi there, I do mainly digital collage but I'm getting a little frustrated with it. I keep wanting to do things that can only be done well with analogue. I think one can almost be more creative going the analogue route. I like how you tell a little story as you go along making the collage. Thanks for the inspiration.

@NellieandRuthDesigns 4 месяца назад

Thank you very much, Anastasia 🌼I'm glad I could inspire you in some way. Good luck and thank you so much for sharing with me.

Love your collage pages. Also like your book recommendations from your last video. I borrowed “The Other Daughter” from Libby the online library while I watched that video. I couldn’t put it down, and finished in 2 days. I’ll be starting “Somebody’s Daughter” tonight. Thanks

@NellieandRuthDesigns 10 месяцев назад

Thanks so much Donna and I'm so happy you picked up The Other Daughter. Lisa Gardner is the best; the Dectective D.D. Warren Series is great. Definitely read her Frankie Elkin series - only two books there and really, really good. I think you'll like David Bell and Somebody's Daughter was really good. Not as many 'big' twists but I was very surprised at the end of this one. Happy Reading and keep me posted.

15 years i have been doing realistic portraits,from pencil to canvas painting , after a long pause because of lack of inspiration and my overthinking what shuld i do next , this is what I want to do next. Almost like all my life I knew what I want and i didnt know the word for it. IDK if you understand lol , anyways you got yourself a longlife follower and I would like to share some day my work with you.

@NellieandRuthDesigns 4 месяца назад

I do understand, completely. Thank you for stopping by, watching and leaving a wonderful comment. I'm sure your art is lovely and if it's time to move on to something else, then that needs to happen. I think over time we all evolve with our art, which leads us to different roads that need to be explored. Good luck with collaging, I love it. Good luck and make sure you check out more collage art on my channel. Have a wonderful week and happy crafting.

This was so fun!!! And I laughed out with glee when you said Paul Anka because I was obsessed with his music as a kid. Found one of his records at the library sale for $2 and never looked back. I do lots of collage work, but have never tried surreal collaging. Will definitely have to try this soon. Thanks for sharing.

@NellieandRuthDesigns 5 месяцев назад

Good morning, Loretta! I'm so happy you joined me at my craft table and YES ...... I really enjoyed Paul Anka when he came on the radio. I LOVED the song Diana he song and Oh Carol. I still think the oldies are the besties 🤭 Give surreal a try, it can be so muchh fun. Your imagination can run wild or it can be simple as can be. Have a fantastic weekend and again, thanks for stopping by and leaving a wonderful comment. 😀

Wow! I just discovered you. I enjoyed watching your ingenuity, creativity, patience & joyous imagination. Very inspiring. I’ve already sent this to my artist friends. One question if you don’t mind… what kind of glue do you use? I’ve been using matte medium, but it sometimes warps magazine papers. Thk u and I’m a new subscriber.

@NellieandRuthDesigns 5 месяцев назад

Hi Mary, and welcome 🤗 I'm so happy you enjoyed the video and my work! Thank you for subscribing, and I hope you like other videos I've made. I use Art Glitter Glue but looking for a new one. I love the art glitter glue, but I can't use it on magazine images, if they go back to the 1940's 50's or 60's....I use it sparingly. I do have two new glues a subscriber sent me, so I'll give those a whirl. 🌸 I hope this helps. Stay tuned for my new collages, and you can see how the new glues work. Have a wonderful day. 💖🎊💖

@shari6110 The grass isn't always greener on the other side, it still needs mowing and watering 🤣 I decided years ago if I hopped the fence, I'd end up on a lawn with lots of weeds, burnt areas and thistles.

@inicoleking 4 месяца назад

I could see taking parts of images and using the parts for texture and color, so they are almost unrecognizable. But you’re talking about cutting out whole pieces of artwork and using them in your work. You’re going to have copyright problems. Plus magazine clippings aren’t archival. Better to take pics of what you want and print them out on an inkjet printer. Ink is archival.

Thank you.
