i’ve always struggled with starting doing collages because i thought u can only make these with magazines! never realized i can paint or create my own papers🥺 thank you em! i’ve always been a fan of your art❤️ thank you for this detailed tutorial and the effort u put on your videos.
okay first of all your work is SO FUN and full of life. secondly, i hugely appreciate learning more about the process and the "method to the madness", as it were. Thank you, em!!!!
This is basically what I thought collage was; creating new vistas or images from coloured paper or cut out images from other sources. Most of the collage I usually see depicted under this term *is* collage, technically, but it's more for non-intrusive or neutral backgrounds then cut up again for junk journaling, art journals, mixed media usage. The way you're using everything makes more sense to me. Love the quick method for creating as many colour combos as possible on the copy paper. Thank you for sharing your steps and processes. Very inspirational!
I love seeing it all come together, I like doing a fabric kind of collage thing with my sewing and adding stitches, patterns and textures in a similar way to yours, I keep every sacred little scrap too. I appreciate the time and the zen you get from collage too. The results are 👌!
This is beautiful...you inspired me to try to make collage art. It's always been intimidating and not feeling like "real art", but you changed my mind. Beautiful.
I saw this video 1 year ago when it came out and i still think about it a lot. You showed so well how you can make your own paper, your own colors and shapes, the big and detailled shapes... It was so incredible and beautiful it inspired me so much and it still does one year latee. Thank you for this video.
Omg Em. This is AMAZING!!! I always HATED collage. And you just totally changed this. THANK YOU!!! Wow. So inspiring. You are SO skilled! I wish you all the success and happiness in the world! 💖
Never thought of painting my pages ..Thankyou so much for this inspiring video as I am about to start collaging again ..I do all kinds of art and craft and card making but with back problems I thought I would try collaging again because it was my first love ..
I think this video was the best ever!! I love when artist explain and show how they do there art and what inspires them. It would be great to see you do a skillshare video. I learn so much from them and your style would be fantastic for skillshare. .xx
Beautiful - I have tonnes of spare watercolour paper cuttings was going to throw them all out but you have given me the impetus to get them out paint them and make a collage ❤❤ thank you
I just found your channel and as I am just getting into collage in a more serious way this was a fabulous lesson! Thank-you so much and I have definitely subscribed to your lovely channel. 😊
i dont think ive ever been this excited for a youtube video to come out !! i love this it's absolutely gorgeous, the tiny boats are adorable ToT i think i'll try it during the summer but on a bigger scale :)
Just came across your channel. Fellow collage artist here, I'm mesmerized by your work! It's so stunning and you have such a distinct style. It's really beautiful to see such a different process than my own. Keep up the amazing work 😍
You`re a freaking genius. I`ve been searching for collage artists on YT for years. I found out that the best artists I have ever found, I found by chance. No wonder you`ve got so many likes and subscribers. Girl, you were created by the Gods themselves. You are unbelievable. Thank you for the inspiration. Sending love from SLO ♥♥♥
New subscriber here :-) Your collage is amazing !! I love how you place everything and all the love and care you add to this piece ! You are talented and I am really glad that I found your channel !! Take care, Natalie
I found this video after someone recommended it on a Melanie Chadwick video... and I have to say it is the most helpful video I have seen on collaging! I studied fashion design at Uni, was constantly told I couldn't draw and that I should use collage for my fashion illustrations, but was never given any guidance at all on how to really do it properly. Just waved away, and to this day I have issues showing my drawings. You have inspired me Emily. I've already saved this video to come back to if I ever feel stuck again, and I will be ordering this print in September when I'm back in the UK! Thank you SO much! 😘
Your collage work is wonderfully real and very accessible. Love the little boats!! Yes, lots of practice. Making the colorful papers is such fun and you put them to excellent use in your pieces. Hope to see more of your fine work!
Your process is so similar to mine. Making your own collage paper is pure joy, especially when you cut out shapes, they are like precious little gems to me. They get everywhere in my home. This video was so beautiful to watch! Immediate subscriber! Think I’ll be binge watching your channel! ✂️ ✂️✂️🎨🎨🎨🎨❤❤❤
OMG!!!! Thank you so so so much for making and posting this video. I absolutely love your collage work as well. I'm so drawn to cute art and art from the movie Song of the Sea. These collages have that vibe 🐏🐑
This is creative and beautiful! Thank you for sharing this, I've always been a fan of being able to DIY your own sources, and you've one-upped it by your comment that you enjoy the effects of the paint on printer paper - I don't feel the pressure I usually feel when I watch these kinds of videos to have to go out and purchase high end materials, when I already have these items at home! Thank you very much! I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future!
Yay! I’ve been so inspired by your collages for a very long time and i had no idea you were making a tutorial! I just reorganized my paper scraps as i bullet journal and art journal. I can’t wait to watch and make some collages of my own!
I have done some collaging before, made my own paper and textures, but I have never made a full landscape or anything. I found it was quite a lot of work and a lot of mess that comes with it (as with most crafts), so I agree with you: organisation is key! I really loved the darling little houses and the cute boats in your landscape 🥰 Thank you so much for sharing your process
What a lovely little video. You can never have too much fun splodging paint around but then you end up with this beautiful little picture. Win win. Thanks for sharing. Must try now 😀
Fantastic technique using your own painted papers and adding detail at the end. I really enjoyed seeing your process from start to finish. Lots of inspiration, thanks for sharing ❤
You're soo talented. Thank you so much for this. I've done my first collage yesterday with my own painted paper and I'm very proud of it. It's supposed to be the base for mixed media but now I'm afraid of painting on top of it, it's too pretty! Thank you!
Brilliant brilliant brilliant video! The final piece is stunning! I’ve always loved collage but never took it to this level, id love to try this one day, ur a wonderful artist ❤ thanks for sharing
Absolutely love your work. I’ve always thought collage was boring, however your work has made me reevaluate the art of college. Thanks so much sharing your talent!
I have not thought of collage, but I appreciate that you shared your steps and process. I'm putting it on my list to try and have a play with. Thank you.
ive wanted to make collages for years and never actually got around to doing it (except for like....one project. which was fun!) but never really got into it for some reason, but seeing this video, it feels like time to give it another try. your works feel really peaceful to look at ! i love collage artstyles
It's really interesting to see how other people work with paper collages. You kind of treat it like paint and you take advantage of the unique textures. I do the actual painting first, and THEN add texture and details with scrap paper.
Your art is lovely. Thank you for sharing your process. I can see the emotion you put into your work. I am getting better at it every time I do a new piece. Looking forward to more of your videos!
First of all greatly appreciated for such explicit video...Am just trying to start with Collage...after my retirement...never knew I could add paint on paper...so this may called as different meduim.All the very best to you...❤️🌹😊
I really love this! I also discovered another few artists that use collage art as "sketching" where they use the scissors as their pencil and start cutting shapes. It's really fascinating!
Randomly came across this video (thanks YT algorithm!). Less than halfway through, I paused to subscribe/follow your IG and bought several prints from your Etsy Shop. Loved watching your collage process and your creative style!
Sooo lovely and kindly presented . Gosh how fantastic if one could do as beautifully...but thanks for encouragement to do our own thing...super presentation . 😀
wow, your work is beautiful! thank you for sharing your process, i'm definitely going to try out this method of collage. i've mostly collaged with photos, but i love the way you collage with color almost like you're painting or drawing with the paper. i'm so inspired to try this out now!
Hello Em! I just found your channel and what an amazing video to start with. I first wanted to say thank you for doing this one on TH-cam. Although I think Skillshare and other platforms are nice, I appreciate you sharing this video for free. I never thought of creating collages like this but it looks so fun. I am a cardmaker and love paper crafts in general. I definitely will have some fun trying collaging like this and I could use the collage papers in my journals too! I love the idea of using copy paper to paint my own papers. That's brilliant! Thank you for sharing and have a lovely weekend.
Love this video and your whimsical art. I’m definitely going to try doing a collage in this style. You are a terrific instructor; fun and direct. Thank you very much.
So beautiful! I love to collage and mostly do abstract collages - I will tag you in a couple of instagram posts! Loved loved loved watching your process - you are brilliant!
Loved this video and your creativity...and the process of getting started...that has been my dilemna and I really believe I can do this after watching you.
Thank you so much for this process video. It's so motivating to see how easy all individual steps can be. And so inspiring to see what beauty can be created by a creative person like you who has put in years of experience. I love your creations. This collage was again so charming. And I'm so thankful that you make these videos to teach us strangers how to start making collages of our own.
I've just found your channel, and it's a delight. I love your style and look forward to watching all your videos. Thank you so much for sharing you work with us 😊❤
Absolutely amazing! I love collage and do a lot myself with my own painted papers. I’m always looking for more inspiration and Wow! Your style and pieces are the absolute jackpot! So fun and whimsical and beautiful. Instant subscriber.
Wow!! Your style and approach to collage really speaks to me! I love the whimsical look you end up with! I also make my own papers to use in art, but often I don’t know what to do with them afterward, haha! So this gives me some great ideas! Thank you for sharing-I just subscribed.
Recently did my very first collage. Your collages and this video were excellent. Really enjoyable. Looking forward to watching more and checking out your art work online. Keep it up.
Thank you so much for making this video. It has honestly helped me so much. I love art but have been recovering from illness and the whole process of painting/drawing etc has seemed exhausting recently. I never thought of doing collages but I’m in love with it now and can’t stop making them 😂
I made a part 2 to this video, so if you want even more collaging tips here's the link: th-cam.com/video/g39TUhJvKMs/w-d-xo.html

Wow! These collage are the MOST GORGEOUS I have ever seen! I am truly inspired to start making some of my own paper bits and bobs

You sure got me inspired to try collage in my abstract art. The collage you made is by far the best collage artwork I’ve seen!
I found this video after someone recommended it on a Melanie Chadwick video... and I have to say it is the most helpful video I have seen on collaging!
