Love the Crayola brush idea, because I have been using makeup brushes. They’re a bit too soft, though. Oh! and rotating the paper! Why haven’t I heard that before? Thanks!

Hi Lauren! I have just discovered your channel, liked and subscribed! I have recently started my own Art/Craft TH-cam channel and mixed media/collage is my thing! Making collage paper is one of my favourite things to do. Good tip on turning the paper so it doesn't become a painting! I love the colours you have used and the different textures you have created. I look forward to seeing more from you. :)

Excellent! I just found you today. Subscribed. I have a tendency to get attached to layers. Video moves along at a perfect pace without silly chatter.

You’re welcome! ❤️

[@MissMelindas]

This is such a great video with some amazing ideas and techniques. I am new to mixed media and this looks like a freeing was to explore, make marks and just see what happens.

[@LaurenBellArt]

Thanks! Playing with different things and exploring is a lot of fun. That’s what I think is the best part about mixed media 🙂

Great video!,

[@LaurenBellArt]

Thanks Christine!

[@jillpontiere1814]

Thank you for a very encouraging video. I am going to give this a go. Never thought to do this on sketch paper! And the glue stick holds up, is that due to the light wetness of the paper?

[@moonpixyart4562]

Enjoy your videos, new subscriber here ❤

[@anneatkinson3388]

Love that stencil! What is it called and where can I get similar?

[@LaurenBellArt]

Hi! I filmed this so long ago I’m not completely sure but I usually use stencils from Stencil Girl. They have a ton of great ones!

[@anneatkinson3388]

@@LaurenBellArt Thanks. I've heard of them so I'll check them out! 👍

[@cathleenconnellperkins804]

What size is the paper you are using??

[@LaurenBellArt]

Hi! It’s been so long since I did this but if it looks huge then it’s 24x36 inch blick drawing paper. If it doesn’t look huge then it’s 12x18 inches.

[@fazestorm4441]

I love it but the leaves I'd love the leaves and they vanished

[@lisengel2498]

[@gailierunninglynx7310]
