You say brown and pink I was raised in Catholic school the first 8years our uniforms were pink blouses and brown jumpers with saddle oxfords. And a brown jacket always loved brown and pink then when I got older I always loved my black leather and pinks I was a hippie with a Harley and leather so crazy. 🤪✌️most of the time I had my leather and long dresses I was also a truck driver back in the day barefoot and jeans driving all over the country. Loved my life But what you have done for me in the memorie department is fabulous your now my counselor. Thank you for sharing Stay safe stay in 💜🖐

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Hummer Klein I think the color brown loves every other color.. but pink and blue especially.. I too had a Catholic uniform not pretty, but similar experience.. and was a hippie too.. but always an artist.. so happy you are enjoying the videos! Thank you again 😘

[@suzannebigbee7596]

I am a recent admirer of your work. Thank you for all you do and keeping it real.✌️

[@debmorris9648]

I am a middle in the night artist so I like the fact that my husband and dogs are asleep and no distractions so I can create and I can get some sleep after my husband goes to work and my daytime is taken up by a blind senior dog so even though I am home that I am still busy with watching you tube or tv getting ideas. Thanks for being there for me with such wonderful ideas to try...

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Hi Deb, thanks so much for sharing your night with me, I am so glad you have time to create and I will try to think of new ideas! 😉😘

[@rebeccagable9629]

New subscriber--I'll never be in a gallery, but I love making lots of similar assemblage/collage/"surprising" mixed media pieces, etc. So glad I discovered you! My husband calls my collection of interesting things my "junk", but we all know they are really treasures!

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Rebecca Gable Hi Rebecca! Our channel is about offering inspiration. We want people to create because it opens to the flow of creativity in other areas of our lives as well. We also know the process of creation leads to an appreciation of art .🖼 while you may never be represented by a gallery, creation brings joy and a sense of accomplishment.. so I am delighted that you are a new subbie! Thank you so much! And Yes, they ARE treasures 😉

Heidi Mickelson Hi Heidi! I don’t live in FoCo anymore.. 😔 when my husband retired, we moved to Florida. My gallery, 142 bis, is part of EsScentuals in old town and Meg has represented me for years. I do however visit and have shows and like you, I am anxious to be free of COVID so that I can have another show! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment! 😘

Our Shipt shopper is probably going to quit when I ask her to send me photos of nut can tops the next time she shops for us. Thank you both for your excellent videos. I can tell they’re made with love and care. My only complaint is that 24 minutes with you seems more like ten ;o) 💐

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Cat, I really really love 💕 this.....I really really love 💕 making painty papers, because they’re all so unique and amazing when you’ve finished them. Stay safe and well too xxx Mags ( I’m just off the my craft room to start a Birth day card for my very very best friend).

Love back to you Cat! Keep well and safe Thank you for a great idea. I can think of lots of places these will come in handy when finished. As you said "No agenda" just enjoy and have fun using scraps of paper and old paints. A great recycling exercise too!

Thank you, thank you Cat, I look forward to. These great ideas. Here we are in bubbles and can't go anywhere everyone staying 2 metre apart another 2 weeks to go.

Hi Cat! I’m glad to see that you’re healthy and keeping safe! How fun was this tutorial?! I love your creativity and using found objects to stencil and make patterns - such a great way to recycle too! Would you use your painted pages in journals? Thank you for sharing and keep staying safe! 💜

Nails by Sharon H Hi dear Sharon! I am so happy to hear you had fun! Yes, I use them for my journals, I use them in travel journals.. in my mixed media paintings and in my collage work. Take good care of yourself dearheart! Have a lovely weekend, 💙

[@LadyInTheTree]

I have a ridiculous collection of painted papers. It is very interesting to see everyone’s little take on creating them because it is very individualized. My next project is making rusty paper and fabric. Have you had a chance to try that? I always wanted to eco dye but decided that trying out the rust technique would be a good start to dip my toes into it.

[@CaterinaGiglio]

DaysBetween Hi there! I agree! I have a few other methods but these are my favorites. I have rusted before, but I cannot use them professionally because they continue to degrade. I have the same problem with eco dyes.. unless I want to work with mordants, and I don’t... they are not light or color fast. But fun, they are definitely fun! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment I is so appreciated! 😘

[@LadyInTheTree]

Caterina Giglio light fast was never mentioned in anything I read so thanks for that info!

[@brandythompson6544]

Hi Cat!! Thanks so much for the video!! How fun to reuse things you have laying around- like you mentioned- art supplies can be really expense and that nut foil lid was headed for the trash anyway, right?

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Brandy Thompson Hi Brandy!! I am so glad you enjoyed it.. painted papers are so fun and we barely scratched the surface on it! Thank you so much! Thank you for the feedback 😘

[@brandythompson6544]

@@CaterinaGiglio - exactly!! so many options and choices for how to make these papers, but I love the wash- I was not really familiar with that process- so I learned a lot!!

[@lorrainedurgee1761]

Amazing video- art supplies are expensive but the good brands last a long time, so I try & use coupons..or Geireys art store in Colorado has very reasonable prices for all art supplies.. if you don’t have a coupon..

[@CaterinaGiglio]

lorraine durgee Yes you are so right! 😘

[@hummerklein2567]

You said decker it what is that terminology please. ? maybe cutting. ?

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Hummer Klein Hi .. maybe deckle edge? To tear and leave a rough edge on the paper... ?

[@jeannettecomer8739]

Hi Cat, I’ve been making some collages out paper and material to be framed. Should I put some kind of glaze over the finished collage or is matte medium ok to protect it? Thanks

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Jeannette Comer Hi Jeannette ...what is your substrate? Paper? Board? Canvas?

[@jeannettecomer8739]

Caterina Giglio paperfor now.

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Jeannette Comer Ok.. so it will be under glass? If so, do not seal it. If not... then you can just use some gel matte medium to go over the top.

[@jeannettecomer8739]

Caterina Giglio Thank you so much. I really enjoy your video on you tube. They have gotten me out and doing my art again.

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Jeannette Comer You are most welcome! Thank you for watching! We so appreciate it! 😘

I've used acrylic paint for decades without ever wearing gloves!

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Just Me Hi Just me, here is a link to Golden Paints toxicity.. starting on page 5.. I wear gloves to protect myself from adhesives and paints.. and I have been an artist all my life.. goldenhub.goldenpaints.com/storage/uploads/golden-master-sds-011816.pdf

[@DrummerGrrrl]

I use gloves sometimes. My skin is ultra sensitive due to having Type 2 diabetes. Most of the time though I paint with my bare fingers.

[@CaterinaGiglio]

NowI'mMe Hi there.. I hope you look at the link in the comment above.. there are several paints containing toxic ingredients and all paints chemical.. each artist has to make the personal decision.. for me .. it is like wearing a seatbelt. Thanks for watching.
