Why Jessica what a truly lovely thing to hear. I like to imagine I sound like Lauren Bacall or Marlene Dietrich then I hear the playback and I really sound like Marcia Brady. So it is nice to know it may not be quite that bad. 😎😎 Kelly
Hi Robyn. It is and I am grateful to have the ability and resources to do this. It is also one of the several reasons that altered books, when they are for sale, have a high sticker price. The sheer amount of time that goes into one is eye-watering. But it gives me such joy. Kelly
As usual you are doing amazing art. And you are a real inspiration for me - thank you. Maybe some people will be interested in scans of the hole layout....
Hello there, Michal. Thank you, it is truly lovely to hear this. And I am getting ready to add printable scans of my original work soon so thanks for thinking of it, too! Kelly
Hello Miss Kelly! I'm a huge fan of your typical small sized books. But I'm inspired by the jumbo size of this work. I have a whole collection of large images that I enjoy as is too much to cut apart. Now I have a fantastic way to showcase them. One of the differences between your videos and other mixed media artist's content that I appreciate is you go beyond simply color & composition. Thinking in terms of the story of the elements in a collage seems to be unique to you. I learn much just by listening to you think it out loud.🌹🌼🌹
My goodness, thank you, Debra. That makes me happy to hear. I am aware that I could grow a bigger outreach by sticking to a more conventional craft-y format (nothing wrong with that, there are great ones out there) but I am lucky enough to be able to do what speaks to me and if anyone comes along for the ride well that's fun, too. Hope you are having a creative weekend. Kelly
@@BookandPaperArts I think there is a difference between crafting and art. I've known crafters who takes their crafting to an absolute art form. And I've known artists that their art is more like a crafting session. The difference, in my opinion, is a mindset. I don't think one is better than the other. Just stating personal observations of all of them I've known.🌹🌼🌹
Hi Nicola. I am mighty proud (and somewhat shocked) that this came out in one piece. Have you seen my video on cutting basics? Kelly th-cam.com/video/-0d08-iYka0/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so. I got lucky last week and found this huge coffee table book about the history of illustrating birds. Bought it for the birds but now I can't stop reading it! Kelly
Hey Kelly! Id forgotten and love your technique of rubbing the pastel chalk thru the damp stencil! Sooo cool. And I really liked how you just put part of that wing over her one shoulder. Brilliant! I love how you work! Thank you.
I bet you had 7 hours of fun and enjoyment! I believe that it doesn’t matter how much time it takes, what matters is how good it felt. It’s a beautiful altered page and really inspiring ❤️💙🧡🖤💚💗💛💜♥️

Very cool. I would say this was seven hours a labor of love!

It was worth every hour, and every one of the 12.11 minutes I got to enjoy the process. Thank you!
Thank you, dear Regina. I really do like this one and I have been saving the blue-haired belle for a couple of years now, so that worked.
Gorgeous Kelly. I don't know how you fussy cut that flower, i would have chopped the stem for sure lol

Thank you, dear Lynn. I wanted her to have jaunty wings rather than ethereal ones and it worked!
Love it!
