Altered Book Project ~ Abstract + Old Documents Collaging

[@houdini840]

I really like to hear you describing you aesthetic, what inspires your art, then watching you intuitively express it in your collages.

[@suzanneadams9371]

I love that you get excited about the authentic aging of the book pages!!! I get it

[@cynthiacooke9785]

Wow! Thank you for showing me how to use gel I pad papers! Yes, I am brand new at 82 years young, I made my gel iPad but don’t know what to do with papers. Thanks again

Normally I dislike long videos but this morning I took the time to watch this one in full and I love what you did.

[@RobynMcClendon]

Thank You Stephanie, I know how precious time is and I'm happy that you found value and inspiration for the time spent. :)

This video was a true treat. Nice and long, full of inspiration and puppy whimpers.

Very inspiring 🙏🏾♥️

I too love Mexico, both coasts are beautiful in different ways. Love the colors, the beautiful peoples smiles, and the food!

[@elainewelch2020]

I love your sayings like, "If you study long, you study wrong." Nice antidote when you find yourself over thinking or hesitant.

[@RobynMcClendon]

Yes my grandmother use to always say that about overthinking as opposed to going with your instincts 💫✨

[@maryellenstewart2880]

Amazing pages this week, Robyn! Thank you so much for sharing. My husband always smiles when he sees me "hanging out with Robyn" because he knows how much I love it!

[@RobynMcClendon]

Beautiful!

[@ralphzaionz4029]

Robyn I could watch you all day long ❤️ I just might do that it’s hot 🥵 and humid here in n.y Long Island good day to stay in and create. As always thank you for everything.❤️Annie

[@maggiehuelsing5288]

Love the tip to coffee stain the off prints and how to add patterns to your stain projects. Thank you!

[@kathyseek6295]

Hi Robyn! If you ask Seth he might have an answer about the geato ( sp) But during his workshop this week he mentioned that he preferred Marabu Crayons and they are available at Dick Blick and possibly elsewhere... I just checked Blick real quick. They are very nice and in a user friendly pen style holder. LOVE this video!!! Glad you had a nice Vaca!!

[@pipsmommy]

Another home run as usual. Thanks.

[@Vickilou92]

Love these!

[@patriciaatkinson2435]

Loved your layouts and your explanation of "the grid". Incredibly useful information. Thank you for sharing.

[@brigitteshantieaglemeare4350]

That was wonderful again Robyn. That page came out super yummy!

[@dinieherbert]

So beautiful... time flies when you are having fun. Enjoyed watching as always. Thank you Robyn for your generosity

[@RobynMcClendon]

So glad you all are cool with the length 🥰💫

[@devonrex4]

I love all your pages and it is great to hear your thought process as well!

[@megbreiter6314]

Lovely as always... your scripting is so awesome, thanks Robyn

[@elegantlyprimitive9150]

I haven’t ever seen stamps like what you used to make collages stamps

[@oraboraalice]

That small-scale music paper is so cool - I’m happy that you are able to use it. I’m pretty sure the book is 19th century. Another beautiful college, my friend. I love the vintage b&w on a warm background! xoxo - Bonnie

[@RobynMcClendon]

Thx Bonnie it seemed old so nice to know❣️💫✨❤️

[@MsArtistwannabe]

Thank you! Love the pages as always. I appreciate how generous you are with sharing your process.

[@Jeannette.akaJnett]

Never too long. Love it!

[@amyschmidt5523]

I love watching your thought process and your enthusiasm. :-) A BIG THANK YOU!

[@elegantlyprimitive9150]

I use a scotch brand glue stick and believe me it sticks. I have to really push if I need to adjust something

[@sharsaki4971]

Hi Robyn, I have been binge-watching this series all day. I have watched so many of your webcasts, and am just loving them. This might be a stupid question, but when you do your “intuitive scripting”, are you writing real words? I am particularly wondering if you are fluent in Kanji since you make the marks so beautifully and so fast! My MIL was an amazing calligrapher and artist, and it has always been so intimidating to me. Thank you!

[@chershack]

Thank you Robyn. Love these pages. Stamp making session for me coming up. The altered book title of mine is The secret of magic. Purely accidental but very appropriate.

[@PaperInspirationsAU]

Oh my goodness Robyn!! I have just recently come across you and without sounding like a stalker (which I am not, by the way. lol), I can't get enough of your videos. A friend recently gifted me a gelli plate and I have no idea how to use it but with following along with some of your older videos, I am creating with it. I have lot's to learn but am having fun getting messy. Thank you so much for your inspiration! You are amazing. Sue. x

[@RobynMcClendon]

Awesome so glad you’ve been able to work into the process. Playing is the best teacher Thx for joining me here 🙏❤️💫

[@gaila.c.602]

Hi Robyn! thanks for the long stream.. Love what you are doing! Awww.. about your puppy.... My dogs are the same way.. want to check on both of us in the house and they don't like closed doors! ;-)

[@vickikaye2170]

Giotto glue sticks are on Amazon UK at the moment.

[@AntyPam4250]

❤️❤️❤️

[@sashahedges1508]

Hi, I absolutely can’t get enough of your videos, it’s so generous of you to share your process. I’m having trouble buying your printables as it doesn’t give the option of UK in the information part that is needed as part of my bank details etc. Is there any way around this?xxx

[@chershack]

I can buy Giotto Glitter glue locally. No liquid ATM but will keep a look out when stocks return. It is a PVA glue

[@ruthsonger2178]

I am new to your channel and I would really appreciate it if when you refer to something you did in an earlier video (like here's the results of the papers we created in a previous video) if you would give a link so I can go there to see what you did to get to this point. I get curious and want to see how you got here but don't have a roadmap. Thanks.

[@sukiyuki6762]

we have uhu in Greece :)

[@mga9999]

This was wonderful! I only recently discovered you when you did the Pass the Brush event with Seth Apter. I'm now a fan! I need to find out how you make those stamps! They're amazing. So many of these elements you used in this video are amazing. Thank you!

[@RobynMcClendon]

Thx💕💫

[@jerryjeanthomas252]

Enjoy your channel so much! Why don’t you email her? Doesn’t she have an Etsy shop? I think she sells vintage fabrics and stuff she finds in Italy

[@nancyanderson2788]

Hiya Robyn, are you back from adventurin’ down that highway of life? Hope you stay safe during these uncertain times. You are a brave soul for sure to be out and about as you are. I am working on and finalizing our combined art projects. Would you like the LESSON PLAN snail mail? If so; I will send you my art to be worked on by you with the plan. Whatdoyathink?

[@wandamontgomery7183]

Robyn,I sent you a package of ephemera yesterday of some new papers I made. Hope you will like and enjoy them! Some of the pages have notes on the back for details. You will probably get them Mon,or Tue. enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wanda montgomery some of the pages have notes on the back

[@RobynMcClendon]

Hi Wanda thx so much I’ll keep an eye out for it 🙏💕💫

[@heatherbasson9127]

Hi I just want to ask if you had a download, Doorways and Documents in the store, i dont see it there anymore and would love to be able to purchase it> LOVE LOVE your creatons and your paper downloads. Regards, Heather, South Africa.

[@RobynMcClendon]

Hi Heather Documents and Doorways is the May Printables I’ll try to put the link up here💫

[@heatherbasson9127]

@@RobynMcClendon Thank you SO much. I am going to purchase them today as well as the july and august ones. You are an angel

[@nellcourt8928]

I know you’re super busy but I had a question about how to know if an old book is archival or even a newer book. Is there a way to know if It will last and not fall off a canvas or inside a journal. Or do I just cut it up for ephemera? Sometimes it does not matter but some people expect thing’s to last and they ask me.

[@RobynMcClendon]

Nell Court Yeah I get that question a lot too. I think it’s a question people think they are supposed to ask as an in the know, kind of question. However when I ask them a few question it becomes clear that they do really have answers. So what I tell artists create your own philosophy about your artwork. How long do you want it to last? Create different categories of art so that you give yourself freedom to just create even if it only lasts a day! 🤣 That way when you get the question you can answer it for yourself and your personal philosophy and and you price the work accordingly I personally believe if a person purchases anything for under $300-400 they shouldn’t expect it to last for ever and of course high end work is archival in every way with authentication etc. the reason why I say $300-400 is because people purchase art every day from the big box stores at those prices and never ask if it’s archival and MOST of that stuff is NOT! So don’t be intimidated into worrying about that stuff enjoy yourself and create!!🥰✨🙏💫💕

[@nellcourt8928]

Robyn McClendon thanks. I appreciate those words to use. And will use them in the future without intimidation. ❤️❤️

[@rochelledoblin5579]

What’s the name of your glue?

[@jeanrasmussen5678]

I don’t get it. I don’t get collage. I keep trying to understand the attraction. It seems so pointless.

[@fabricoflife592]

I can get 20 for £24.95. 20 GM sticks. I don't know how much postage to you and I won't know until I go to post them. Let me know if you are interested. Gloria UK
