You never disappoint. Loved seeing this in real time. Thanks.

Oh thank you Miss Sherry ❤️

I enjoy watching your process. I might darken her lips and maybe her nose as well. Or trade them for something new in a similar size. I am armchair quarterbacking, of course! Your work has really given me some new ways to think about my collage and mixed media work. Thank you. 😊

Always good to get (positive) criticism and feedback! Thank you for the comment and the viewership!

Very cool tips. You’re using your sewing scissors to cut paper?

[@LauraHenneforth]

No, I don’t sew, these are strictly used for collage, but they could very well be sewing ✂️. I know that’s a big no-no though! Thanks for watching!

I love the looks of your cutting tool. 2 questions, does it help make the cutting process easier (less fatigue) and where can I find one?

[@LauraHenneforth]

Hi Lynda I find that the cutting tool does eliminate fatigue for me. The tool is a Fiskars item, here is the link happy cutting! www.amazon.com/Excel-Blades-K71-Index-Knife-Green/dp/B07B4BVKL6/ref=asc_df_B07B4BVKL6/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=242118228879&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2770628614723844206&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031132&hvtargid=pla-439913829349&psc=1&mcid=8ca2f2b007af363ab4bf8c8afd52fa2f&gclid=Cj0KCQiA3uGqBhDdARIsAFeJ5r0-NAokZj35SUW84SRVD_CmNz1khIz-AX0z2hs4YgViTY4an0mAsj4aApkIEALw_wcB
