Mixed Media Collage - Leaves & Bird 

Interesting how your approach seems so random but becomes a cohesive theme by the end. I don’t know if you thought of the musical notes as birdsong when you started, but they definitely contribute to the overall design.

WOW, those leaves POP off the page now!!! You always know what to do to get it just right!!!! Beautiful!!

This came out lovely! Very balanced and just came together well. So much fun to watch you work.

Cat, that’s so awesome and fantastic I really love 💕 this. And I really think 🤔 this should be framed for all to enjoy. I really love 💕 watching you work. Thank you so much xxx Mags

Really pretty. I love how the leaves stood out so beautifully in the end. ❤️👍

This is beautiful, Cat. 😊 It's my favorite type of mixed media. I never get tired of doing it or watching videos of the process. Thanks for making it.

Beautiful and very instructive for anyone new to mixed media. Many, except for yours, edit out the process. But the process is what it's all about. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this video and how you show us the way you sort of searched the way to make this picture. I was just randomly searching on RU-vid to find something to get me back the urge to create again and the picture of your leaves and the colours you use just caught my eye, mabe because I love botanical work. And now after seeing this I just want to get into my studio and start collage and painting again, so many many thanks!

What a magnificent piece of artwork! And, so very fascinating to watch! Tfs

I don’t do mixed media but I truly enjoyed watching you create your art piece, It is lovely!

Oh Cat!!! What a wonderful thing to watch on a one degree winters night. You have put a cheer into my freezing evening!!

It just flows out of you, doesn't it. This is so beautiful and you are so creative. Those leaves out of that paper! Genius!

Dear Cat Hand, thank you so much for sharing your work and for the way you explain the process!!! To me, these minutes watching your video has been very prize-less and precious minutes! Warmest regards from Tussila =)

Absolutely beautiful!!

Oh Cat, I love it!!! You never disappoint. Your work is stellar. I always look forward to your grand designs. Thanks for sharing.

Simply beautiful 😊

Loved the beautiful work you've done

Wonderful picture, thank you for showing us x

Very pretty! I don’t do much mix media but it gives you such freedom to play with various techniques!

Oh Lordy, you hit this one outta the park Cat, Gorgeous! 😍😍😍

I love your music !

Love this page. Was a bit worried when you applied the gesso so the leaves would stand out, but you did a fantastic job of making everything blend together. Really enjoyed watching the process of this page.

It's so beautiful Cat!! and your little happy surprises made fantastic leaves!!! and it's beautiful framed.. I love it!! Big Hugs to ya!!

It looks fantastic.

What a fabulous background and wonderful techniques!

Of all your videos I have this one at the top of my 😍😍😍 list. As so often happens, you do something (in this case the ivory in the centre) and I think "nooooo, stop!". But of course you then go on to prove why you are the teacher and I am the pupil and fully justify why you did it, ending up with works of true artistic genius like this one.

Cat, this is even more beautiful than your usual art work! I love it and am inspired to try something like it. But, I'd really like to know more about your pretty bracelet...

I really like this one very pretty. Nice to see you back after the holidays we missed you

GORGEOUS!

Beautiful! Fun collage!

Very pretty, Cat. Love the colors.

So beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
