Easy COLLAGED SILHOUETTES that really pop! ~  

Because of your inspiration, I plan on pulling out some children's plastic stencils to use for this silhouette style collage. I also have a coloring page I don't like, but now plan to use the dolphins as silhouette creatures. I am so glad I found your RU-vid channel. - jo shu

I'm amazed at your imagination! You are an inspiration!

Beverly Clearly was my favorite author when I was a kid in the 1970s. In 5th grade, we had an assignment to write a letter to an author, and I chose her. She sent me back a beautiful, personalized letter, which I truly wish I had saved! I shared my love for her books with my sons. Thanks for your fantastic storytelling (along with your inspirational art ideas)! You brought back a wonderful memory from my childhood.

This is genius! You are a master of creative technique. I have loved everything you do on your channel. Thanks for sharing!

Great video, tons of ideas!!!!!!!

Fun, they turned out so cute! But why not make a masterboard and then cut out silhouette shapes? Seems less tedious 🤔

I’m not sure I realized we were so close to each other! I loved her books! Pick of the Litter thrift store is irresistible to me when I’m in Newport. Thanks for the lighthouse example too! 💙💙💙

I had a silhouette made of my son when he was 5 weeks old. He is now 40 and the silhouette still hangs in my living room.❤❤❤

Great idea! Very inspiring.

Thank you Anne, I have 6 silhouette stencils of New Zealand birds and did not know how I was going to use them, these are perfect. I like doing simple art ephemera.

Hi Anne, Its Ann again. Loved your bird silhouettes. I will see if I have suitable birds. I laughed as you talked about your Mom having silhouettes of you and your sibs. My dad was a photographer and he took the photos. He cut the silhouettes out of tin or lightweight metal and painted them matte black. They hung as a headboard for my parents bed until they sold their house after living there for 53 years! I have mine with a ponytail! This was in Iowa, so neighbor to Nebraska. Hugs from Texas.

I love this! It's really effective! 😊❤

Beautiful art and lovely video. Thank you for sharing your talent.

Hi Anne. Your video popped up on my RU-vid feed and it caught my attention. I enjoyed watching you make your collaged silhouettes as well as your stories about your family and Beverly Cleary. Such fun. I've now subscribed and look forward to see what other interesting things you've created. Thank you!

Love your videos and stories

love the cat, thank you for the idea

Red-winged blackbirds are one of my favorites. We get them in Alabama in the winter as large flocks. FYI...females are heavily streaked brown with a pointed brown bill and white eyebrows. But, as a silhouette, you can't tell, LOL.

Adorable! Great job

Loving this Anne! Can't wait to give it a go this weekend.😊

This is a brilliant idea. Other ideas for patters would be children’s color books and for images like your mushroom, appliqué patterns would be a great segue. TFS.💜🐞

An excellent idea. Thanks for sharing.

Such a great idea! Thanks for sharing!

.... And I thought I have seen all the possebilities already. 👍Watching from Germany ❤️ 🙋 already

What a fun idea! Thank you for the inspiration ❤🎉

So cute and so many uses in journals. Thanks.

Great idea 👏😍 thank you so much for sharing 🙏 lots of love from Arctic Norway 🥰🍀🌼🌸

Hi, Anne. Love this, especially since I once lived in Ithaca and visited Cornell’s Ornithology Lab and Sapsucker Woods often! For sure, I will be making a few of these. Thanks for the awesome share! Luv, Gladys Ward. 💕💕💕

Such a very cool and creative idea!

Loved the cat, cool look.

Hello Anne. What an absolutely wonderful idea to create both journal page and journal card embellishments as well as journal cards. Old calendars may also be a resource for animal shapes. I am trying to catch up on your lovely videos I have missed lately. You know it's summer and time to be on the go while the weather allows so many more out of the house activities. Your camping trip sounds like a real memory builder. BTW I hope you include the Ralph Mouse books in your collection. My 3rd grade classes always enjoyed them. Another author I really enjoyed ( and still read his new books even though I'm retired) as well as my class is named Roland Smith. He did an author visit to our school district and was a wonderful speaker. While here he found an interesting idea 💡 and wrote the book Zach's Lies centered in our small town.😊

That looks really nice . I happened to see this video as I was scrolling, im glad I did. New sub 😊❤

I absolutely love these! Thank you for sharing and for the inspiration. 😁

Love love love this video mostly the birds thank you Anne you always have great ideas😊

This looks like so much fun! I am going to subscribe.

These are cute

Oh my another inspiration so cool. ❤

These are adorable, Anne. I have never seen anything like this before. The cats are my favorite but they are all amazing. Thanks for continuing to inspire us.

QUE DIVERTIDO.Utilizar las piezas de las revistas puede ser un juego de búsqueda apasionante.Ademas queda precioso.Gracias.❤😂😂😂😂

As for the lighthouse "mishap" you could ink in the railing and some of the details on the collaged side in order for it to read as a lighthouse again. Simple fix 🤓

Love the idea, I’m always looking for new things to put in my journals

Hello. I happened to come across your video, because I thought it looked interesting. What a great idea! I am working on a flower journal and just a simple daisy would look quite nice. Thanks for the inspiration. 😊

Great technique! Thanks for sharing.

Great idea! Thanks.

Oh, Anne, now you've done it 😮. I just HAVE to do collage art on a silhouette...I just HAVE to!!❤ You mentioned your pieces being small, and I see they're torn not cut; but could give me an estimate of how big the pieces really are, please? O. M. GOSH. I can't wait to start collecting "fodder" 😃

Love this one! Ps I've done a few similar ones but never used bird magazine for inspiration. Thank you so much! ❤🤗🐦👍 Xx

You have a talent for storytelling in your art. Chapter one of a novel, perhaps? Those trees are also called Japanese maples in Canada.😊

😊good idea

I get the most inspiring ideas from your videos, Anne! I was just at the point where you were making the bird journal card and I had the most BRILLIANT idea - to have the pocket be its nest!! Can't do it at the moment, but I wrote it down (along with the other ideas from this video) in my crafting ideas notebook. Thank you! PS I had no idea the location in the Beverly Cleary books was real, let alone in Portland. Wow. Triple thank you. I also grew up reading those books...

Hi, Anne, I was just looking at some of your videos! And saw you have a new one! I love the silhouettes. I’m sure my sister and I did the same thing as kids. She had mentioned not long ago doing them for her grandkids. I’ll have to remind her. I enjoyed very much your description of what you did last week going to the aquarium and mosquitoes and reading from that book and playing the games with your grandson. I’m glad y’all had a good time. See you next time!

Hello Anne What a Wonderful idea as always.. You have a very creative mind. You have me working these days making some of the beautiful things you are teaching. What a great way to use all those scrap we have..Thank you.

Bonjour Anne je découvre votre art que je trouve magnifique merci pour le partage ☺️ J'habite le nord-est de la France 🤍

Oh I am totally inspired ❤

❤❤❤I love this twist on a favorite! The calico cat is fantastic! When you mentioned the head silhouette with a thought bubble, it made me grin! 😁 Thank you for the information about Beverly Cleary books. My client just turned 7 years old and I read nightly. I found collections of the books used on Thrift Books. Many Thanks! Fantastic work. ❤❤❤ Hugs heading to Oregon!

Hi Anne! More one brilliant idea: Collaged silhouettes! So many uses in journals! Thank you so much for sharing your talent and knowledge with us! Now I have a brain storm: Cats, birds, flowers, butterflies clouds, hearts, stars, fishes silhouettes!🤔🤔🤔🤔🩷🩷🩷🩷🌹🌹🌹🌹

Ive always loved silhouettes. I had my girls silhouettes done at a craft fair. It was fascinating to watch her cut them. My oldest daughter has them now😊❤Ramona!!!!my oldest daughter ate those books up. Now thats a calico cat😂I saw a tshirt (I should have saved it) it reminded me of you. It was a simple black tree with tucans on the branches and they looked like they were put together with different size circles mixed up it was so cute😊

My sisters and I are in our 50’s and 60’s and our parents still have our child silhouette cut outs in oval frames hanging in their house 💕

This is ABOVE AND BEYOND AwEsOmE!! What a great idea!!!!!! I never thought of collating on back of subject. Genious!!

Hi Anne. I'm with you. I can remember doing my silhouette in grade school as a mother's day gift. My mom treasured it. I live in Blair NE....what town did you grow up in? TFS ❤

Why have i never thought about doing this!!!!???? Thank you for sharing your talents with us!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Hi Anne, love your working and deciding voice. So natural. Wow, you are so lucky to have your hands on all those birdie books. Having a heavy rainy day today, after all it is Winter, best time to make all these creative goodies.
