That's creativity at its very best! I especially like the part where you show that the same words make different stories when added to different images. So much inspiration!
Hi there, Centi. Yes, it is so, so fun to see how different visuals change the same words from one meaning to another. A kind of verbal alchemy! Cheers, Kelly
Thank you so much for this video. I have wanted to use words in my art but find the sentements you can get a bit sickly and meaningless. This is definitely more of a challenge and far more inspiring.
I enjoyed every minute of this video. You gave such clear instructions and then provided lots and lots of examples. I'm all inspired to start clipping some phrases and incorporating these into my journals. Thanks so much Kelly!
Thanks for this, Ricki. It is truly nice to hear. Don't know how the thing got so long but goodness knows I could have kept adding caption-y narratives all day!
I'm a long-time subscriber, and this is, by far, my favorite of your videos. It was inspirational, triggered lots of ideas as I watched it, and left me feeling creative about new journal ideas! Thanks so much!!
Why Carol, what a lovely message. Thanks for this. I knew this topic was a little bit in a niche so it is good to hear that if it spoke to you it went over big. I love words and I love collage and this is just a simple yet powerful way to make them into one thing. Keep me posted on how it goes for you! Kelly
This was a very interesting tutorial. It left me with a lot to think about and to create. This type of collaging is fairly new to me. I really enjoyed it. Thank you. Carol from California
Yes! You get it, Sunnie. It is all in how the elements reflect, comment, highlight, contrast. Kind of hard to teach but once you start to get it, you won't unsee it. Thanks for this!
Thanks, Lena. When I used to do this with text I raced through it, scanning, speed reading. Now I have indeed slowed it down and I can savour and find things that I would have missed and that is a far better use of my time than whatever it is I thought I was racing to get to. I realise that this is a luxury and the me back in the day who worked two jobs while going to school appreciates the luxury of it now.
Hi Gilly. Do you know Annie Dillard? She wrote a whole book where she took Van Gogh's letters and a vintage repair manual and cut and pasted the sentences and made found poems. It's pretty cool.
Great ideas. I love words and writing. A typesetter back in the 60's . . . cut and paste days and then computer typesetting. I have a very old photo album. The kind with the large black pages. I'm starting a glue book, with each page a different theme. Using words will give a hint to the unwritten stories. Can't wait to start. Thanks for all the great stories you've hinted at. Love the idea!
Love your imagination! I enjoy using found text too, ever since I found out about the 1960’s altered book, ‘The Humament’. So many possibilities! Thank you for a great video 😊😊
I like the way you think, it inspired me. I enjoy making up stories. Your journals are super. I call my journals Treasure journals...... Not junk in my opinion!
It will be a real challenge for mi, not been a native speaker, but with your explanation. Ot only have the courage to try, but a better understanding on words in drawings (I’m not journal native either😂). Thank you❤
I enjoy your work and I think you must be a very interesting person. I’ve done a little of this and you’ve inspired me to do more-it adds another dimension to the collage process. Thanks!
When I used to have to proofread really boring documents (tax forms and instructions), someone told me to read the lines backwards. That way you don't glaze over and miss what you should be seeing. I cut words out and I try to use that method sometimes. I keep them in a 'jar of words'.
Whoa. I wish I had heard of this before. What a great way of saying it. I am familiar with learning to draw by turning an image upside down. Why not the words? Thanks for this!

Go get 'em, Sandi! It's contagious but it's cheap, easy, and not fattening so what are we waiting for?
@@BookandPaperArts Ha! Love it!
Kelly …you never disappoint! Always fun to watch and listen to your tutorials….I always learn something new! Thanks 🎉

Hi Carol, thanks for this. I am going to be diving into collage basics more in the new year so stay tuned! And happy making. Kelly
I like the way the headpiece on the Lady with a Ferret reflects the crescent moon on the facing page.
Yes! You get it, Sunnie. It is all in how the elements reflect, comment, highlight, contrast. Kind of hard to teach but once you start to get it, you won't unsee it. Thanks for this!
i like slow life style. This activity is a perfect match for that. Thanks a lot for sharing your take on it.

I can’t wait to grab an old book page and see what kind of poetic words I can find. Black-out poetry… fascinating! Thanks for a fun video.

Makes the pages unique & fun too💕🐾🌟
Yes! It turns those letters and words into visual embellishment so win-win-win. Thanks for stopping by, Sabine.
So many great ideas! Thank you for sharing this video and instruction with us. @26:32, hysterical!
Linda, it is my real pleasure. Now to work on my Maggie Smith voice. 😺

So fun and helpful! Great way to use words without being cliche, although cliche is ok sometimes. Thanks, Kelly!

Hi Heather. Thanks for this. I, too, prefer a different name. I stick with art journal but treasure journal has a ring to it!
This was a very informative tutorial on this subject and it all makes sense.
TFS!❤
Thank you for this, Teresa. It is truly appreciated!
I've been waiting for this! Easy and commonsensical, but I enjoy listening to your thought processes. Happy New Year!
Thank you, Sue. It is easy but in my experience, the more you do it the more nuance and complexity you are able to give it. In a good way. 🌻🌻
It will be a real challenge for mi, not been a native speaker, but with your explanation. Ot only have the courage to try, but a better understanding on words in drawings (I’m not journal native either😂). Thank you❤
Hello! Thank you for your message. I am happy to read you. Yes, the idea of words as a visual element will work in any language. Happy making! Kelly
I enjoy your work and I think you must be a very interesting person. I’ve done a little of this and you’ve inspired me to do more-it adds another dimension to the collage process. Thanks!
Thank you Kelly this will be so helpful always appreciate your tutorials
Thanks bunches, Jan. This is truly nice to hear. Kelly

I have a jar of words as well! And a jar of letters. And a jar of numbers. Must get some pages going so that they can find a home.
Great video! Thank you for helpful tips. I can't wait to try them.
Thank you, Manna. I hope you make some great poems and pages!
7:26 a surreal collage with that first sentence “Nothing unexpected happened at all” would be quite satisfying.
Love this idea ❤
Thanks bunches, June. 🌼🌼🌷🌷🌻🌻
You made me smile 🥰
Why thank you, Deb. This is truly nice to hear and you have made me happy. 😺
This is amazing, thank you for sharing Kelly! Did you get the email with the pics of Merle’s guitar?
Thank you so, Linda. Yes, I did and you should have an email raving about it right now. 😺Kelly
Hello Kelly, fun! Ty.
Indeed, very interesting!
