Thank you so much for this video, i’m a visual learner, and the way that you showed the placement, and the relationship of each piece to the other was very helpful! Please do more of these videos for us “newbies”!!❣️

[@MargareteMiller]

Awesome! I'm glad you found it useful 💜👍

[@LadyJaneG]

I love your slow calm straight forward manner, no silliness , just too the point in an orderly manner! I am a SUBSCRIBER!!

[@MargareteMiller]

Thank you!

[@sandrabuck3677]

Thank you for putting together your teaching pages i just love them.

[@lssphx]

Helpful to hear your thought processes going through putting this together, the whys/why-nots of the pieces you choose

[@suelutz5364]

This is so helpful. I tend to overthink and overdo my designs. Thank you!

[@lorrainewilson2067]

This was great! I overthink the placement and often don't know when to quit adding, These pages show a little properly placed speaks volumes.

[@MargareteMiller]

I’m so glad it was helpful❣️

[@colleenkennedy]

I am thrilled to find more ways to use paper and glue!

[@flowerlila21248]

I agree with looking at your work the next day. Also it helps if you take a picture of it.

[@MargareteMiller]

Yes, taking pictures helps so much👍🏻

[@danzorig2086]

I enjoy your “collage art education” videos. 💕

[@rainbowflowerfairy4369]

Thank you for helping take the fear away from collage!

[@MargareteMiller]

Happy to help! I'm glad it was useful 👍🏻

[@selinastephens5265]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and for the play pieces!

[@beccyhaugen6015]

That was the best collage video I have ever watched. You are a great teacher. Your explanations are clear and I loved hearing your thought processes as you worked through the pieces.

[@MargareteMiller]

Wow, thank you! I'm so glad the content was useful to you ❣️👍🏼

[@tvg1003]

I couldn't agree more with beccyhaugen's comment. I'd just like to add that limiting yourself to a couple of pieces to add to the starting piece, is most helpful. Moving on from an existing base, is easier than starting the base.
So thank you very much for sharing this video and please continue. It's very relaxing watching you ! ❤

[@janekrut2799]

This is exactly the video I've hoped to find ! Calm clear explanation of your thought process. I'm excited to watch your other videos.

[@MargareteMiller]

Thanks, Cyndy! I'm glad you found it useful 💙

[@lynnboyd33]

Margarete, this really was pretty eye opening for me! I liked the ways in which you approached these layouts. Especially the "pick your focal piece first, and then work around that". Just like in decorating, yet I hadn't thought of collage in this way. This was very helpful. Thank you!

[@MargareteMiller]

I'm so glad you got it! 😉 ❤️

[@lindabrown3558]

Thank you very useful

[@stebo235]

Very helpful

[@mariadahlhues5342]

Hello Margarete! Thank you for this great Video! I've found you yet and I will stay!! Your ideas inspired me so much!! Thank's a lot!! Bis for now!! Maria

[@MargareteMiller]

Thanks so much for your kind comments, Maria ❣️

[@dakielty]

I usually start with the background and add a focal piece but for the deconstructed traveling journal I’m working on now i started with the items that fit the theme and filled in the background. One of the things i love about your collage is the simplicity and yet completeness of your work. Sometimes i manage to attain that simplicity, but i love your video and your work. Thank you

[@alibi509]

Hi Margaret. Loving the simplicity of your layouts and the way you choose your papers. Nice table , by the way😊

[@MargareteMiller]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@rtotty]

I'm so glad I found your channel! I appreciate how you explain your process and give examples. I also love how you said in another video that collage is not a talent, it's a skill. I've always been hesitant to create art because I was so afraid of doing it "wrong". Your videos give me confidence in myself and encouragement. Thank you!

[@MargareteMiller]

Wonderful!! I'm so glad to hear it, Reagan 👍💜

[@bleintz]
