Interesting how your approach seems so random but becomes a cohesive theme by the end. I don’t know if you thought of the musical notes as birdsong when you started, but they definitely contribute to the overall design.
Thank you so much, Vivian. Yes, I often adhere a bit of music paper along with images of birds on my collages, for that very reason. 😊 I appreciate your watching and taking the time to leave a comment.
I love how that scrapbook paper made such cool leaves ! ! Wow !! I' m also glad to see music paper. I can't read music but l think it makes such interesting paper touches. I am always searching for it. I finally found some at a scrapbook store!!
Yes, that really surprised me, too! You can sometimes find old music books, hymnals, and/or sheet music at thrift stores or garage sales. That's where I've found a lot of mine. :)
Thank you so much for this video and how you show us the way you sort of searched the way to make this picture. I was just randomly searching on TH-cam to find something to get me back the urge to create again and the picture of your leaves and the colours you use just caught my eye, mabe because I love botanical work. And now after seeing this I just want to get into my studio and start collage and painting again, so many many thanks!
That's awesome, Carlotta! I'm so happy to have inspired you to create again! Thank you very much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! 🙂
I just found your video and sure enjoyed watching you make this wonderful bird and leaves picture. Thanks for sharing your process - I found this to be very relaxing.
I love the way you play!!! Your outcomes always make me sit back, exhale, and smile. You are a super crafter and I love your work. Thank you so much for sharing.
I just love this piece. I think one of the things I enjoy most about your videos is that you really let us in on your thought process when your are considering choices you can make. Thank you so much.
Beautiful and very instructive for anyone new to mixed media. Many, except for yours, edit out the process. But the process is what it's all about. Thank you.
Wauw !! I just found your videos and the Facebook page ....and you are such an inspiration......got to try this ....have to watch some more videos of you so i wont give up half way ....what a beautiful creation this is....greetings from The Netherlands......Francien.
+Francien de Klerk Hi Francien, and welcome to my channel - I'm very happy to have you here! Thank you so much for watching and also for your kind comments. 😊
This was lovely to watch! What a beautiful piece! I love watching you create; you speak and work with such ease and grace that you make it seem so easy! 😍 Thanks so much for sharing!
Respected Cat. I love your work. Very creative, beautiful. Specialy those leaves . Thanks for sharing vedio. My English is very poor ,so sorry about that. Again thanks. Vandana******(India.)
Isn't it fun to just go at it, let your creativity flow? At first it may not look like much, but as you go and your eye brings the elements together, WOW, it's beautiful! Thanks for sharing your gift!! I enjoy your videos :)
Thanks so much, Liz. Yes, it is awesome to let go and have fun creating! I'm so glad you are enjoying my videos and I appreciate you watching and commenting! :)
Love your creations! I especially like your sense of balance with color and composition. You are a great teacher by example. Love your calm yet enthusiastic demeanor. It is always a pleasure to watch your videos. Great inspiration. Thanks.

*Hello, I'm your First Thumbs up I just can't watch enough of your process videos Very Fun & Relaxing.... You're just naturally talented. 😊😊😊* Sharon in SC
Cat, that’s so awesome and fantastic I really love 💕 this. And I really think 🤔 this should be framed for all to enjoy. I really love 💕 watching you work. Thank you so much xxx Mags
Hi Cat! I`ve got to tell ya,when you first start on a page,i think to myself,this is not going to turn out so well.And then,WOW!!You turn it into quite the masterpiece!I Love watching & listening to you while you play-[i really do]..TFS-->I would hang this on my wall too!
As always absolutely lovely, it's fascinating to watch you create your wonderful masterpieces. Your talent shines through again. Thank you so much for sharing, really enjoyed watching, take care now, Ali xx
What a great looking piece! Thank you so much for the nice clear explanation, I followed along while you were doing this. Mine turned out very different than yours, but I loved following your process.
I love this Cat, the colours are beautiful and it looks great in the frame!! I am up to #4 MMM, I am a late starter with my arty crafty adventures but I'm so glad I'm rippling the water in my own little pond......so much fun!! Thanks so much for sharing your talents, much appreciated.
Beautiful piece of art. It's always interesting to see how depending on how you cut something gives it more than one look. Very clever what you did for the leaves. Thanks for sharing.
Of all your videos I have this one at the top of my 😍😍😍 list. As so often happens, you do something (in this case the ivory in the centre) and I think "nooooo, stop!". But of course you then go on to prove why you are the teacher and I am the pupil and fully justify why you did it, ending up with works of true artistic genius like this one.
+Frances Watts Thanks, Frances! Lol, yes, sometimes there's a method to my madness... I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for your kind comments! 😊
