Thank you Janie, that’s very kind, the pattern is available on the website….have a go! 😉😊

Stunning ❤stunning gorgeous, beautiful ❤

I love these videos

Beautiful Lily lives in Auckland, New Zealand. Gorgeous portrait Annie, thank you so much!!

Beautiful!!! You are very talented! I am so happy to find you thanks to a friend of mine! Hugs, Deb

This is such a Great lesson in how to manage your fabric to make it do what you want and showing how you come to the conclusion of using your gray scale to help with your decisions . This process reminds me of the challenge I had with the dog I did in black and gray . I can relate to it being a bit of a struggle and a great lesson , in terms of difficulty being a learning experience. This piece is truly inspiring and amazing work of art

Loving watching the process … and am endeavouring to make one for my son of an album cover 😅😅😅😅. Is there a chance of doing a video on how you transfer from parchment to fabric as I’ve started mine but doing it straight on fabric

Beautiful! I love how you encourage fellow artists of all levels the importance of walking away from the collage for a bit and then returning with fresh eyes!

Stunning work!

It's interesting what you mentioned about the colour choice. I am just finding myself in the exact same process with a cat portrait very similar to yours. The background is a curtain and it works fine. But the pet itself is so diffucult for me that I put the whole thing aside.

Amazing,best I have ever seen

Not loud enough 😂

Another stunning piece of work carried out by the highly skilled Annie Nolan. Wow - this lady produces the most exquisite work !! please support her. Annie's commissions are extremely reasonably priced when one considers the huge amount of time that goes into each portrait - and obviously done with great care and love. Thank you Annie - you are a STAR!! 🥰

Thank you, that’s so kind 🥰

Phenomenal job ❗️❗️❗️

Beautiful!

How can I buy the pattern ?

Hi Alison, thanks for the interest in this Christmas pattern , it will appear again for Xmas in July but If you would like to purchase it now please go to the website and on the home page use the contact details to let me know and I can make it available for you. 😊

I haven’t found the rocking horse pattern on your website. Is there a way that I can order a copy?

Hi Anne, I guess you can work any way which you find the easiest. Usually the eyes and nose are the first things I do, 1. because they usually have the smallest pieces so I like to get those things out of the way first and 2. I like to talk to the animal as I create it 😂 and I feel you can see the animal better with eyes and nose! I suppose if you were doing a person probably a good idea to work from back to front starting with darker fabrics working towards the lights, but even then I probably wouldn’t do it that way. The good thing about art is that you can do it whichever way gets you the best results and there are no art police to tell you you should do it a certain way (unless you are entering a competition, then you really must do things the way they want you to!) 😉 Great question! 😊

Thank you for sharing the process. George's family must be so very glad to have this memory of him. Do you think it is easier/better to create the most prominent features first? I always thought in collages like this you work from back to front.

Amazing video,but sound is very low😢

Actually this artist was thinking...what a brilliant idea!!

Not enough sound and I have seekers up loud

I love you Nana

Stunning work - and what a soulful expression.

Phenomenal ‼️

This was great. I've watched the first two also.. You are answering all of my questions. They are such basic things, but so important. Thank you!

How are you adhering the fabric pieces to the paper please?

What a wonderful piece of art. The little dog looks so charming, and the dark background makes her stand out beautifully.

Thank you for your kind words. I’m so pleased you loved the collage. Rosie was an absolute pleasure to make. I’m looking forward to starting Missy real soon ❤️

Thank YOU Annie. Your work is absolutely SUPERB. We are overjoyed with your exquisite interpretation of our beloved Rosie, who gave so much love and joy to everyone who met her during her short life. Rosie was a very special lady, she had the most beautiful sweet nature and she endured her ill health like the brave little soldier she was. Her twin sister, Missy, still misses her every day, as do we. You are a very talented lady - thank you for our wonderful portrait which will take pride of place in our home for many years to come. You have also shown how pretty our girl was with her lovely soulful eyes, which were always filled with love. Thank you!!! Joan and David.🥰

That is very interesting. Your inktense work really improves the faces and gives them a more natural touch. Thank you for sharing.

Absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing and giving helpful advice.

This is so lovely. I love to make art quilts. I found a beautiful picture of a tortoise and have been trying for years to turn it into an art piece and your videos help so much. Your videos give me hours of inspiration. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.

Beautiful!

Your tutorials are so useful. Thank you for sharing your ideas, tips and giving us an insight into your art.

Thank you for the video. I’m in the process of thread painting for the first time and it’s nice to see someone going at it slowly. I can get a better understanding of the technique. Most appreciated

Amazing!!!

Hi Dan, Not sure what your comment means, please explain and I might be able to comment correctly. Thanks so much 😊

Promo sm 🎊

Aww shucks Joan, you will make me blush! I’ve also had similar problems with fixion pens, I don’t use them now as it spoilt a quilt that was a gift.🙄 I have made a turtle quilt, you’ll find a video in the collection here, there are many pieces to that one! I am still adding to the whole quilt as it is a king size, I will be documenting that one as I do it, keep an eye out! 😊

Wow! Joan you really are very kind. It’s good to share and I’m happy to pass on what I’ve learnt and I’m still learning! ❤

Interesting tutorial, thank you. Joan.👍

Well the lady is quite right : you are very clever, such a lovely reaction to her commission, good for you, well done! Kind regards, Joan. 🌷

Hello again, I have spent a lovely restful afternoon watching your fabulous tutorials - many thanks! I have done a lot of thread painting, in fact, have even taught it in years gone by, so I don't have to learn that part! Best wishes, Joan.🌺

Once again - THANK YOU - your tutorials are awesome - the BEST on You Tube as far as I can see and many other people charge a lot of money for this sort of information, you are very gracious to share your knowledge, Kind regards, Joan.🌹🌹

Hello again - may I ask your name so that I can address you properly? You are SO clever, your hint about drawing a piece on the carrier paper is brilliant - thank you. Anyway, I did do something about which you will laugh, I used a Fixion pen to draw my pattern onto the background fabric - then when I went to iron the fabric on!! - well you know what happened! 🙄 Anyway, if one leaves it in the freezer for a couple of hours it will come back again, but obviously it is not clever to use a Fixion pen for this work. Your tutorials are so useful and so well done, thank you very much! Are you the lady that made the FC of the large TURTLE? Dozens of pieces of fabric? I love your work!! Kind regards, Joan.
