So glad you like it, Eva.. was trying to come up with a project that most people could easily create in the studio.. timeless design.. and who doesn’t have old buttons?? 😉😘💖🌸
You are my medicine Cat. Had a real iffy couple of weeks health wise. I love inktense and I love stitching . I’ve been ignoring my wrinkles for years. Bless you 💝
Hi dear Eva.. yes we must always ignore wrinkles.. no matter where they are right? 😘💖 hope you are feeling much better this week.. I pray that is so. Sending blessing right back to you, my friend! 😘💞🙏🏻
@@CaterinaGiglio thank Cat, I have arthritis in my neck and hands, generally I’m fine as long as I move about . Then sometimes when I get so absorbed in my art and forget to take a break 🤨 naughty me. So frustrating. Own worse enemy . As I said before , your enthusiasm is infectious 💝
@@evaoxberry5157 Oh Eva is it RA? I have Osteo in my neck and back, and yes.. I have to move about too and sometimes.. I get so engrossed.. well.. you know! 😘😍
@@CaterinaGiglio Ostio like you, wear and tear and a bit of the hormonal input. Osteoporosis as well . I think most women get that at a certain age. My mother had it too. What gets me is the debilitating effects it has. I love gardening too but I ache all over after a while. We think we are invincible. My mum had RA it was awful seeing her in so much pain. I suppose I’ve been feeling a bit sorry for myself which isn’t normal for me but we are all in the non normal just now. Social media is great for creative interaction, not so great in other areas. Thank goodness creativity is ageless . 💝
whenever I put things together like this that I have to walk away from it and come back to it a few times to make sure that I have accomplished what I want as there has been so many times that when I haven't taken the time that the project ends up in the trash as I am so impressed that you just do it and the project is so so impressive----thank you so much for sharing and planting ideas in my brain
This. piece is wonderful. It makes me think of a block of houses from above showing all the various people and things that can be found in the houses.Mystery and loveliness.I could go on but I won't.
WHAT A GREAT JOB CAT ,BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF ART. SO HAPPY AND LUCKY THAT I HAVE ALL THE SUPPLIES TO WORK WITH. AND THEY ARE SO RIGHT, IT IS VERY INSPIRING AND ENJOYABLE!!!! THANKS YOU AND DON SO VERY MUCH ESPECIALLY NOW..WE NEED YOUR INSPERATION.
Oh, Wanda! Thank you from the two of us! I was thinking that it would be a very universal video to appeal to a wide audience, glad you have everything you need! Take good care dearheart.. hugs!🤗🤗🤗
Hello Caterina, I listen to your videos regularly and yesterday I watched this one. There are so many great ideas there that you managed to help me out on a project that was unsuccessful. I integrated two clusters in my greeting card and it made all the difference. Big thank you for your sense of sharing, your artistic spirit, your imagination. Thank you for all these videos which inspire me.
I am learning SO much from you, Cat. I am so glad I found you. I am new to Mixed Media and am loving it, especially the textures! Thanks for teaching this old dog (62) new tricks!
I’m catching up your amazing videos as I recuperate from my second total knee replacement! I cannot wait to run grab materials to work on pieces and look forward to more yummy stitching videos! Take care!! ❤️
I am getting such inspiration and encouragement since I recently discovered your channel, and of course learning a ton of new stuff especially mono painting..
Really enjoyed this demonstration, it’s just my sort of aesthetic. Feeling inspired. Thank you so much for sharing. Being in my studio creating is keeping me sane in these strange and worrying times. So heartened that you’re keeping going. All the best.
This is fabulous Cat! I love your work. Thank you for sharing 😍 By the way, I got the gesso you recommended and it's so much better! I appreciate it and I hope you got "credit" on your Amazon account for it.
Hi Linda! Thank you! Yes anytime you use our links to go to Amazon, we get a few cents and they add up, so thanks! Glad you like it! And glad you enjoyed the video! 😘💖
Hi good friend ! 😘 I love this piece today. This video came just in time bc I’m working on another framable piece and your actions here will help me improve my layers. Then I’ll have to make one with squares which I love, also. Thanks so much for the inspiration! And continue to stay safe. 💕🌿🌸🍃
Thank you for sharing this Cat, it’s wonderful, I love everything about it and especially the composition. I feel inspired to go create! Have a great week. Xx
Hi Jane, it’s always a pleasure to hear from you! Glad you enjoyed it and we are happy you feel inspired to create! Thanks for your most kind support! xx
Hi dearheart, thank you so much! Yes.. the middle needed a little kiss 💋 of difference.. I was happy with the project and thought it could appeal to a wide range of viewers. Don sends his thanks.. we had a bit of trouble loading this one too.. 😔 but it finally went up. Thank you so much for sharing and letting us know you enjoyed it! 😘💖🌸💖
Hi am moving house soon and my studio is in boxes, cant wait to unpack and make something similar, thankyou for sharing, best wishes from Wales, stay safe
Love those beautiful, layered clusters!💙...and great tips for using my inktense pencils....might have to add the blocks to my Christmas wish list! I love being able to create papers and fabrics to my own palette. Thank you once again, I so enjoy being in the studio with you. Continue to stay safe. Ciao💙💙💙
Oh, Isabell! It’s always lovely to have you stop by the studio my friend! I love both the bocks and pencils.. they are ink and they add such a lovely color! Hope you get them for Christmas 😉💙 we are being very cautious.. hope you are too! Sending 🤗🤗 xo 💙💙
you prolly dont give a damn but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the account password. I would love any tricks you can offer me
@Kobe Shepard I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Hi Cat, hi Don! Love this! I am thinking that all the tiny pieces of drift wood I collected for my twig books as well as the bark my birch tree sheds are going to find their way into this kind of project! Love inktense, which I have because of you!. ❤Stay well.
Hi Wendy! Yes.. it begs for a twig at the top right? Found organic bits would be awesome too.. glad your creative juices are flowing! 🤗hugs! You be well too! 😘💖
I love doing mixed media projects and am going to be teaching a class at the Winnsboro, TX Art Center in October! Some fabulous ideas and project tips and supplies!~ I've subscribed to your videos and can't wait to see the next one; plus I'll check out the past videos too!
Beautiful! Great tutorial! I would love to see tutorial on using a round piece of watercolor paper and collaging on it. I bought some from Dick Blick or Jerry'sartama. I would, also, like to see an example of how to use your kits in a collage. I'm new to some of this.
Hi Terri, Don thinks I need to do a vid on using one of my Inspiration Kits too.. so I will put it on the list for upcoming videos.. as for a round composition.. I will have to chew on it for a while.. they are tricky.. 😉😘
Hello. Thank you so much for this amazing video. Could you tell me what glue you used to attach the inktense coloured fabric to the damask please? Also, I was wondering if I could sew the bundles to the inktense fabric rather than glue? Or would you not advise that? I love using lace, organza and beads so I'm hoping to make some art with these pieces! Thank you again. 🥰
Are you sharing to TEACH us or just bla? What are inktentsblocks said really fast to yourself? I'm sorry, because you Look lovely and I'd like to LEARN not just watch you... please s l o w down when introducing art supplies that You know what you're talking about, but the viewer has Never seen and has to rewind 3 times trying to guess what you just zipped through after taking over 5 minutes to chat and search on a long list for something you're not quite sure what you said

Hi there, Judith .. thank you so very much! 🤗😘💖sending hugs from Florida 🌞💞
Beautiful piece! Is there an alternative to using Inktense to create the colored fabric? Watercolor pencils or other medium?
Hi Nancy.. yes but it won’t be permanent.. you could use a commercially dyed fabric..
Thank you. I might try the mono printing on fabric instead. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise!
@@nancyl.5126 That will work! Just remember it will be more difficult to stitch through 😉😘
Awesome
Thank you! 😘
Hi! Fabulous video thanks for sharing! The inktense fabric, is it plain cotton? And pre-washed?
They were all washed at one time.. not recently.. any kind of cotton will do. Thank you for watching! 😘
@@CaterinaGiglio thank you!
How does one black bean dye?
Easily! Put a few dried black beans in a bowl, add water.. wait until the water turns a bluish color remove beans and add cloth and papers..
@@CaterinaGiglio thank you🤗
What video can I watch on how you got the blue and brown on the fabric? It is amazing!!!!! Thank you!
You can view it here.. th-cam.com/video/fELAKIDXEa4/w-d-xo.html
Absolutely stunning, Cat! This has inspired me to use some of my materials to make a similar piece..who knows..I may do a whole series :)

Hi Alison.. I used gel matte medium and yes you could easily sew instead of using glue. Thank you so much! 😘
And it sure could have been nice to have known what type of glue you used, a SHOW & tell, but I'll go down below and guess & search
Great tips! I have to ask: Is your hair naturally curly? Is always so beautifully done!
