Carol, this is lovely. I think all of your elements/prompts work very well together and the colors play off of each other wonderfully. The ocean/water theme is very pretty. I enjoyed watching you put this together. Your creative flow is very inspiring. Have a beautiful week and happy crafting. xx

I really admire your ability to stay open to the process of your collage unfolding organically while simultaneously remaining so deliberate with your placements and aesthetic. And I love the images you have chosen. Another beautiful collage 💙
@oakhousejournals3 ай бұрын
I generally have an idea in mind but the collages always evolve as the prompt pieces suggest how they'll interact and where they'll sit. My eye (& I guess my slightly OCD nature 😄) always wants to ensure the placement is in the best 'line' for the aesthetics. Many a time I don't pick the best pieces and then I'm fighting to encourage them to 'play nicely' together.... it's all part of the fun of doing these collages for me. Definitely a journey and learning curve each time. Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to watch. That's kind of you. Hugs as always from me. C xx

Love it! I really like the look of foreign text - it makes me wonder what it's saying! Love the ship in the bottle and the 3 cheeky seagulls!

As soon as I read your comment Jennifer I thought " Goodness I really should Google any foreign text before I use it! " I haven't a clue what it says on this collage. BUT I'm guessing as it was a sticker it'll be ok 🤞 BIG hugs from me. C xx
