Thank you, Brenda - your wreath and chosen colors sound lovely! If you are looking for more ornaments to make I do have a playlist - 'DIY Holiday Ornaments' with 3 other tutorials : )

You're welcome, Pam! I hope that means you'll be doing some rusting soon : )

Hi Julie, If you are doing anything with your finished rusted papers that will involve a lot of handling, like stitching or collaging, it is a good idea to seal it with a clear fixative. I have had powdery rust particles smudge my paper and make my hands dirty. If you are rusting thread, wash it thoroughly after rusting. It will keep the rust color but won't rub off as you're using it.

@@KathyJohnsonArt Thank you so much. I'm thinking of over printing with a photopolymer plate, so that the rust image is the background to my print. But of course I'll need to resoak the paper ...to make sure the polymer plate is pressed right in as it is an intaglio method.

@@JulieGrove-Hills What an interesting and different way to use a rust print - sounds amazing!

Thank you so much! Been printing for quite a while and it's soooo much fun😍

Hi Linda, This was a live Zoom class. I'm pretty sure I'll teach it again in 2025 as a live Zoom or prerecorded self-paced class. Announcements will be in my newsletter. Thanks for your interest! : )

@@KathyJohnsonArt thanks so much. I’d like to take it.

You're welcome Evelyn, I hope you found it helpful.

You are so welcome Janet! Glad you enjoyed it : )

I'm so glad you'll be giving them a try and getting a headstart on holiday ornaments too : ) Have fun!

Thank you, Sheila, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you Emanuela❣

The full circle prints are from washers or the tops of the tin cans.

Thank you! 😊

Thanks so much Rosann!

Thank you so much!

de nada Judith🙂

Hi Judy, Makes all the difference to have the correct proportions 🤩Glad you had success this time!

You're welcome! I'm glad you think so. Enjoy!

Hi Linda - That sounds wonderful! So glad you enjoyed the video 🙂Happy Holidays!

@@KathyJohnsonArt Thank you Kathy and Happy Holidays to you also 🎉🎉🦄🤗❣️

Hi Trudy, They usually stay together pretty well on their own but you could add a little dap of glue as you assemble the pieces so they will be extra secure.

Hi Sue, You can see examples of what was done in the class on my blog: www.kathyjohnsonart.com/blog/did-you-know-there-is-a-world-collage-day I think you'll agree, some very nice pieces : )

Thank you, Maria, Glad you found the instructions easy to follow : )

I've never tried it but I'm not sure it can be completely removed. If you search for how to remove rust stains from clothing you'll get all kinds of recipes containing ingredients such as baking soda, cream of tartar, hydrogen peroxide, vinegar etc.

Hi Debbie, It's a tool I've had for probably 25 years from my days as a film assembler. I don't think you can purchase that exact item but it's just a short fine pointed awl. If you can't find an awl with a fine enough point you can make your own by pushing a needle into a cork - I've made one and it works great for this purpose. 🙂

@@KathyJohnsonArt thank you Kathy 😀👍

😀Christmas in July! Have fun trying out different papers and sizes!

Thank you Laura : ) When I made this sketchbook I knew I would be doing a lot of stitching so I wanted something sturdy. I used Arches BFK 250gsm printmaking paper. Maybe a little overkill for a sketchbook but it's my favorite paper. It has such a nice velvety feel. Most of my other sketchbooks are drawing or mixed media paper.

Thank you - glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful

Thank you, Anna. Sorry the sound was too soft for you. Pretty sure I used the same setting as usual but I will keep this in mind for next time : )

Thanks, Laura - I'm looking forward to it too❣

Thanks Lucy! Happy Collaging : )

Thanks so much, Cheryl 😍 Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you Shelle, glad you liked it : )

Hi Marian, I don't see why it wouldn't work unless it's too thin to hold the shape. Would look beautiful in metallic - I hope you give it a try : )

@@KathyJohnsonArt Thanks, I'm going to pull out my left over Christmas paper and give it a try!

Thanks so much Josie!

My pleasure Andrea! So glad you are happy with your wreath ornament : )

Hi Patrick, I'm so glad you found this helpful. Hoping this stepping-off point inspires you and starts you off with a fresh start for the new year!

A medium-weight paper such as scrapbook paper works best. Some card stock papers can work but others may crack on the edge when folded, you could do a test fold and see. Sheet music and book pages work well too. I hope you have fun making the wreaths.

I bet the book pages look great. So glad you found the tip helpful Sieglinde : ) Happy Holidays!

Thank you so much Sherry. I was just looking at your channel with all those amazing beading tutorials - Wow : ) I can just imagine how beautiful the embellishments on the bells you make will be. Enjoy!

Thanks, Kay! I was addicted to buying scrapbook paper some time ago. So many pretty designs - that's why I have so many scraps 😄

Thank you, Laurel, that's so very kind of you to say : )

Thanks Jill - have fun!

Thank you so much Cheryl, that's very nice to hear : )

Thanks Lori, glad to hear that : )
