Collage with me: Paste It Forward | For an Artist Struggling with Perfectionism | Slow Art Making

★ Collage with me ★
It finally came in the mail! After a long journey up the continent, it's my turn to "Paste It Forward". This book was started by a handmade collage artist in Singapore with the intent that each artist will make a collage artwork on a page of the book, and then pass it on to another collage artist from another country. Now that my work is done, I have sent it off to Brazil!
In this video I talk through an internal narrative about perfectionism and it's connection to artists. This video is dedicated to artists struggling with perfectionism. I didn't even know it was something I struggled with until I realized how freeing it was to create without a purpose. As my career has progressed, it seems I forgot all about the fun of making mistakes and trying something new.
My solution to this is trying a junk journal. Use this as a junk journal tutorial to collect ideas on how you can do your own. Subscribe to see future videos going more in depth on this.
In this video you'll be able to see my process in real time. This is the first time I've published a video showcasing my collage art process at this length (slow art making). Set your eyes on some of my beautiful cut outs from vintage magazines, some dating from the 1920's!
Collage is my passion and I want to share it with as many people as I can. If you're stressed out, simply grab some magazines and scissors and ...collage!

This book is such a cool concept! And I loved the discussion. It’s so hard to get stuck by trying to do something “right” that we forget to have fun.

[@flanzella]

I'm so glad the discussion resonated with you. It's definitely a battle trying to balance fun and staying true to my style / making work I am proud of! I find the junk journal to be a valuable exercise for this.

[@deboramissoorten6765]

Collages is so much fun because the unexpected results that seems to pop up and it is always unique , it’s something I enjoy due to the spontaneous vibes , thanks for sharing these amazing collages 👌

[@flanzella]

Absolutely! It's the one medium in which the medium determines the art. In collage you are limited to what you images you come across. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

How cool. Passing it on from artist to artist. I would love to see the final product. Each on unique in its own way. ❤ healing don't you think? Thanks for taking us along.

[@flanzella]

I'd love to see the final product too! I believe it is currently in Brazil! Maybe one day I will start my own version of this 😍

[@lauraclisset4355]

What are the rules for the Paste it forward challenge? Thank you for your video. Enjoyed it much!

[@flanzella]

The rule is to make a collage on any page and then send it to a collage artist from another country. Everything else is quite flexible! It doesn't matter which page you do it on. Glad you enjoyed the video 😇

[@thecoll4gechronicles]

Love ❤

[@flanzella]

Thanks for watching 😌

[@leovillanueva-jq6te]

I like your collages very much

[@flanzella]

Thank you so much 😊

[@ochervelvet9687]

I struggle with perfectionism too. My pieces are very studied, thought out, and precise. I like my end products, but I also yearn to break free and just play. I don’t seem to know how to do that.

[@flanzella]

You're the perfect candidate for a junk journal then! You should check out my videos in the junk journal and see how life changing it can be ☺️

[@journalcd]

Good❤

[@conniegoodman285]

I love working on my collages however I am just to picky. Can’t get past it.

[@flanzella]

I find junk journaling helps with that, it pushes you to glue it down. Or if I am unsure of a piece, I scan it into my computer so I know I can make changes digitally if I need to 😇 Hope that helps!

[@chychywoohoo]

I think perfectionism is the death of creation. I wish i realized this sooner.

[@flanzella]

That and lack of boredom! 😁

[@kimfrank45]

The cutting style is incredible.

[@flanzella]

Thank you so much 😊

Nothing spectacular perfect how?

[@puresunrays80]

Downvoted because of the music. Tutorials are enough on their own with the voiceover. The music alienates a lot of people. There are many who will be triggered by sensory overload from the visual, voice and music. It's such a shame because it's an interesting video.
