Assemblage Art • Part One • Substrates

[@CreateAgain]

I love this so much Denise. Not pigeon-holing your creative self, is such a wise lesson.

Thank you so much Heather! I grappled with, should I stick to one medium or is it okay to jump around? Jump around is who I am...I gotta stick to what's true to me and know there are people out there who will resonate with that...like you! I think that's why I feel most comfortable with mixed media...I get to mix it up! Thanks so much for watching and sending such an encouraging message...that is so appreciated!

Denise back with the assemblage....lovely...

[@cerropaint]

Yep Brian...I do love my mixed media lifestyle...and always have a soft spot of assemblage! Thanks for checking with me!

Good morning to you on the West Coast. Just breaking light here on the East Coast. I don’t know how, I don’t know when, but I do know why you popped up in my KZbin feed today. And it tells me I’m already “subscribed”, although I honestly feel like this is ‘a first’ on this last day of 2023. Your studio, your energy, your philosophy - I’m feeling like this was serendipity for me to open and watch Part One of this Assemblage Trilogy today. Happy New Year indeed. I think I’m going to like it here 🤗🤗

What a delightful message to open up to on this last day of 2023...I see new beginnings Cheryl! Thank you for enthusiastically re-discovering my channel, this does my creative heart good. My Studio Sessions are whatever I'm working on in the studio that week...just incase it piques someone's creative bug too. So glad you found me again...let's make it a wonderfully creating 2024! Happy New Year Cheryl!

Hi, I’m Jacqueline. I’m here in 2024. 😂 I absolutely, I mean absolutely (worth saying it twice) love your assemblages, and your willingness to share your tips. You have a great personality, too. I’m a mixed media & assemblage artist. I hit a low point in my art…and “rested” (Yearned!!!) from doing much these past couple years. I’m back and ready! 😊 I’m all in. 😁

Hi Denise.. I too am a “creative” I started with watercolors and got bored . I love using natures finds , I love acrylic on wood, canvas, paper whatever. I have even resined , and encaustic art. I was told and I quote “ If you don’t stick with one thing consider yourself a dabbler not an artist” I will admit , it made me feel very bad about my art honestly. After shaking that off, I realized not everything is for everybody. I will continue to do whatever the mood suits me so there.. LOL

[@cerropaint]

Christine...I am defiantly not a dabbler...I am an art to life and life to art artist! My life is all about art...what I do with it makes me happy, therefore brings more happiness into the world. Those who want to point out how you do your art...need to loosen up and enjoy art more! Thanks so much for watching and for commenting...best to you Christine!

Hi Denise, I just discovered you, thanks to 4 Corners Studio. And I was thrilled to see you have a You Tube channel so I'm one of your newest members! I too have an artistic past of starting out in advertising/graphic design, then pen and inks, water colors and acrylics, and now it seems like since retirement, anything go's! I too love the 3D boxes and assemblage, as well as collage work and altered books and art journals! So, I'm also happy that you've included some of Greg Hansen's sites as well as iPad boxes on here. Wowsa Denise, all this cool stuff and creative ideas are just making my head pop!! At any rate, I cannot wait to see some more of your cool creations here and your web site! thank you, thank you. From one really awesome creative soul (you) to another, (me)you Rock! ;)

[@cerropaint]

The best comment ever to read before going off to sleep…THANK YOU Lynn and welcome! So glad to hear that you love to creatively explore too…it’s the only way to go for me! When I first discovered Greg I got hooked on assemblage…I loved what he was doing. Of course I moved along from assemblage, but never too far! Thank you for watching Lynn…I’m so glad you enjoyed it! PS…I love Amy at StudioFourCorners too!🧡🧡🧡

[@cerropaint]

Yay Chrissy...it is addicting!!! I love doing assemblage pieces...especially when I have a good substrate. Old iPone boxes being my favorite because they're so sturdy. So cool that you discovered this fun art form...have you ch3cked out Greg Hanson on YT yet? He'd the one who got me excited about it. Have fun with it Chrissy!!!😀😀😀
