- Join me as I demo showing how to use shaving cream to create one my favorite collage papers during #100dayproject2022 which surprisingly is the easiest to create.
Supplies needed for this collage paper:
Any brand of foam shaving cream
Large flat baking pan
Squeegee, the kind you use in the shower!
Acrylic paints, any color that lights you up
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch the replay🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻.

This technique is a lot of fun to make.
So happy you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Hi Catherine, tried the paint method first, then switched to using ink. Ink won, give it a try. xx
Very cool, good to know!
Shaving foam, not gel. I do this with my students each year to make Valentine's cards. I only use red and pink. The kids love it. I just give each student a piece of foil and a plastic knife to smooth it. They take a plastic straw and dip into the little cups of paint. I come and scrape off their pictures. So fun.
Good point, only foam will work. The project with your kids sounds like so much fun!
I love your enthusiasm and joy in your voice!
Awww thank you Avanelle!
This is a great technique - really fun! But adding the waste sheet was a new idea that I look forward to trying. That was one of my favorite sheets! Thanks
It often is for me too! Enjoy playing with this technique.
Just loved this video and can't wait to try the technique. I would get just as excited as you with those beautiful colours!!' Really enjoyed Collage Kickstart too!!!. Couldn't wait for the next video to arrive in my in box.
I LOVE that you were getting excited as I discovered how this worked! Even more love that you loved KICKSTART!
This looks so much fun to do, and beautiful results
Incredibly fun. Have you tried it yet? So simple, yet effective. Also smelly😉!
Hi Catherine I have enjoyed watching your you tubes. I love making my own decorative papers for my jewelry and boxes.
Thank you so much, Jill! That's a great way to use papers, I love that
I have been trying to make faux marbled papers by layering stencils. This video is perfect!
So glad that you enjoyed this technique. So fun to do, and simple! You might also like my latest two on Japanese marbling paper.
I am off to the supermarket tomorrow to buy shaving cream! Who would have thought? He he he!
Too fun! Now your art space will smell like perfume :)!
I’m really enthralled with this technique!!! Can you give advice how this could work on a gallery wrapped canvas? I’d like to see this as a background element for my abstract painting.
Sounds like an intriguing idea that would probably work, but I've never tried it! Since this popped into your head, I think you need to follow your intuition and try it. Then let me know if it works! My guess is that it will be beautiful.
Loving this 🎨 and will be trying it out ✨👌🏽
It's so much fun! I hope you have a wonderful time
Can you leave on the shaving cream a little longer to have the paper stained more? so the original pattern you pull up remains before you sguigy it off? some of them look like flowers....
What a great question, and the answer is I don't know! Sounds like you'll need to experiment and then let us all know the results!
Score!!! Found unscented shaving cream!! It’s Pure Silk sensitive skin made by Barbasol. 🎉🎉🎉
And it works for this technique?!?! Score indeed!
It sure does!!! Is there a way I can send you a picture of the results and the specific product ?
@@laytonchavis1220 That would be fabulous. My email is cat@catherinerains.com. Thank you.
Done!!! Let me know if it went through
Sorry it keeps failing
Have you done any other patterns other than swirls? If so can you give some examples? Loved the demo than you.
Never even thought of doing other patterns. Now you got me thinking!
I'd swipe some of them vertically the first swipe.
Can you give me more detail about what you mean by swiping vertically? What are you swiping?
Taking the foam off of the paper. I''d like the first squeegie to pass vetically sometimes
@@avanellehansen4525 Ahhhh makes sense! Thanks for the clarification.
Example. At 23:35 time stamp. I think the pattern would swipe as a floral.
@@avanellehansen4525 Fascinating. I need to pay attention to doing it that way and see what results I get. Thanks for the suggestion.
du you have examples of collages made with your papers
Every 5 or 6 paper demos, I use those papers to create a collage series on YOuTube. Here is the last one th-cam.com/video/1bWtLr2pJtU/w-d-xo.html.
Do the soap and other chemicals in the cream not affect the integrity of the paint?
That is entirely possible, however I have not seen that over the years that I've created and used these papers in collage. Could be because I protect all my work with 3+ layers of varnish and wax.
Hi Cat, just did my first try at this. I am using Gillette foam for sensitive skin (because I figured it wouldn't smell). Anyway my first pull of paper and huge amounts of shaving cream came off. I was very gentle smoothing paper first. And the result wasn't the best. I will try again but thought you might have some thoughts. Thanks, H
Hmmm, well lots of shaving cream should come off as you scrape it off the paper. Maybe you need more paint, maybe a different brand of shaving cream? Maybe it was the paper? So many variables. However, these things often don't work the first time with me, so I change it up a tad, following the little voice that says "what if I try", and I'm usually led to the place where it words famously. Don't give up and have fun experimenting. Cat
@@catrains.artist I tried another round last night and it worked better. I am going to change the shaving foam and see if that works. My swirls dissapear and I get streaks/smudges. Not a bad look but just different.
@@WeekOfTastes Sounds like it might be the type of shaving cream. Buy the cheapest shaving foam from the Dollar Tree, the smelly stuff. Your swirls should not be disappearing.
Copy paper could become a challenge due to the chemicals that coat them … no one is sure how these papers will react with paints a few years after the art is sold. Will they fade, turn color, drip, curl, crumble … no one knows, so I refrain from using them to make paper art. FYI
Very good point. Will have to experiment to see how copy paper behaves over time.
Matte Medium is archival so if your papers are coated on the front and back for collage or any art work, that makes them archival!
@@gaylecewpie5012 I agree, however the paper in between the medium could possibly still fade. I also varnish and wax my finished collages for that reason. You can't be too careful!
