I see a giraffe and some kind of giant bird . Love this! 💙

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

I love it. That's how abstract painting is. Everyone see something different. 😎

[@teresaseabright510]

Thank you. I might have a go at this

[@suetraviss8888]

[@alicemullens3521]

Loved seeing a video on how one can use geli art prints. Also, I found your narrative and music to be very easy to listen to, great job!

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Thank you so much!

[@carynpercell8979]

I love the texture of the Mulberry paper♥️

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

It's interesting. 😎

[@marciabonk2533]

Wonderful informative video! Got a lot of useful Info..not being an artist I did not know matte medium could be used as glue...duh! I put together junk journals, and will use this instead of common glues.

[@CarolineDrake-kx1iv]

I like the deli paper from Amazon.

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Yes, I'm obsessed with it.

[@cIvy726]

@@SusanCliftonArtist Is that the MGFar sail one?

[@stephaniemacomber3850]

I have been watching you for some years, now. I am so impressed with your growth! I have always loved watching you, but recently I have noticed such confidence and sophistication in both your art and your presentation. Thank you so much for being so kind and down to earth while sharing everything you learn along the way. You always inspire me and I am a huge fan….but, in my opinion, the black stringy fabric piece that you added toward the end diminishes the sophistication of the piece. Just a thought… It is still a stunning example of your expertise in the medium of collage. Love!

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Thank you so much for your kind words and feedback!

[@kathleenrothman]

It's beautiful! I live it 👍🙏 thank you for sharing 🙏 much appreciated 🥰🌸🌞🌈🦋🐢

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Thanks for the feedback

[@MsToxicavenger]

I really enjoyed this collage.

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Thanks for watching.

[@allthumbs3792]

This was SO full of good information! I loved watching you place and replace pieces before committing with gel medium. Great final piece too.

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Thanks. I was a little out of my comfort zone on this type of collage. I want to do more.

[@karenmcandrew9383]

Love this! Thank you for posting your process.

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Thanks for watching!

[@cIvy726]

This is soooo helpful! Big thanks to you!

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

You're very welcome!

[@joyouspilgrim942]

I love this piece, Susan! I appreciate your thinking aloud about placement and why you place something. I love the organic shapes of the white and black figure on the left and the black figure on the tissue paper. Do more!

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Thanks for watching. I have some new videos planned on collage. I like the random collage work. Not much planned and anything can happen.

[@brendacollinsdeeks7268]

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Thank you!

[@avanellehansen4525]

Beautiful colors and papers. I wish there were torn edges.

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

I sometimes do that. 😎

[@Bella-d1v9y]

Up close and personal look at how to see colors and shapes. I have learned to slow down and look more carefully at how I place my pieces just watching you think it through. And, yes, your colors are on fire.

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Thanks for sharing. I'm so happy that my viewers are getting value from my videos. 😎

[@marysiniawa5371]

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Thanks for watching.

[@lindabailey776]

Susan I love watching you work , I have a couple of gelli plates ,I love making collage , and your a wonderful artist , I copy you every chance I get , I hope you don't mind , because your very good ,my name is Linda Bailey I'm from Corpus Christi Texas , I know your on Florida ,but we can be friends , every since I've been doing collage you've been helping me a lot ,I just thought I would introduce myself to you , you have a friend in Texas !

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Hello, Linda Bailey from Texas. Welcome. To copy is the best form of flattery, so they say. Keep it up and you will start to have a style of your own. Experiment.

[@claresmith9545]

Thank you so much or showing us how the gelli prints can be used to make a collage. The prints are so much fun to make ( I have just started, but can see that it is not enough). I want to sell collages!

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Go for it.

[@rabbitgregory9289]

Thanks.

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Thanks again. 😊

[@johanssonstudio]

Beautiful! How did you finish the edges of your canvas?

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

I painted the edges black

[@gailpentz2630]

Where did you get that tool you used to burnish the papers?

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

It's a Princeton Catalyst Wedge. I love it. It's made of Silicone so it's flexible and doesn't tear the papers. I get them on Amazon. amzn.to/43su5Ni

[@ManuelaKalestiantz]

I have used tissue paper

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Don't you love it?

[@flossey100]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Thanks. 😎

[@ochervelvet9687]

Beautiful colors!

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Thank you

[@lesleynormanhartnell2070]

Lovely piece but very irritating music, I put you on mute I'm afraid which is a shame

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

There are only 2 videos that have the loud music. It was an equipment issue. I hope you try my other videos. Thanks for watching.

[@SophieKae]

I find the music very serene...goes well with Susan's soft voice.
