I think you are the Queen of collage. The owls are just the cutest! ❤

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

That's way too big of a compliment, I appreciate your very kind words but ............... I can show you some who really are the queen of collaging. 🥰 I'm so happy you enjoyed the video and sat with me today at my craft table, xo ............... and I agree, those owls are just the cuties little things. Thank you again for your wonderful comment and wishing you a wonderful, joyful and sun filled weekend. xo 💜💙💜🌼🌿

Fun multi-media bird collage! Yes, it can be a bit messy, but I look at it as a controlled mess. Love your owls 🦉 especially. They’re looking like some party birds. Love it, Barbie. 👏👏👏😎

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you, Donna for the very nice and kind comment. Notice no talking in this one ........ I had to concentrate so much, it really fried my brain. 😱🥴 I'm so new at this kind of art and what all the products do. I'll randomly play with it all and overtime will become more comfortable. I'm so happy you enjoyed the video and took the time to sit with me. Thank you again. Have a wonderful weekend ...... sending good vibes and big hugs to you today. xo 😘💞

OMG Barbie I LOVE this MM collage! You are amazing gf! TYFS Cindy

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you, Cindy. This bird collage almost put me over the edge ....... I was looking for Xanax all the while I was creating this 🤣🤣🤣🤣I'm on the fence about this mixed media stuff but will continue to play with it on occasion. I appreciate your words and for sitting with me to create this. Have a great weekend, gf and sending warm summer vibes to you and a wheelbarrow full of hugs. 🏖😎🌻🌻🌻xo

[@BigGrannydb]

Barbie - this is simply gorgeous! The owls are just adorable - perched on the page. Attempting to imagine/anticipate what you will come up with next - exactly like the rest of us. You amaze me … always a pleasure to watch your pages unfold. Lots of Love❤

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

You are way too kind with you compliment ☺Thank you very much. I'm still very new to this mixed media art and very hesitant about it. That's why there was no talking in it, I had to concentrate so hard on all I was doing. I'm sure the next one will be more simple 🤣🤣this one exhausted me! Thank you so much for watching and again, for leaving a very kind and thoughtful comment. Have a glorious weekend, my friend! 🧡🌻🌼🌿 xo

[@coolguy9621]

Hello Barbie, this is the third collage video I've watched of yours. I love watching your process and of course the outcome. This one is absolutely adorable with the colours, whimsical owls. Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you!

You doodled! 😆 I love this mixed media collage. It turn out fantastic. So fun to see you work so many different mediums. Super good girl!❤❤❤

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Deb, we already talked about this 🤣 thanks again for the encouraging words on it. I need to practice doodling and I need to learn how to make some fun letters .......... it's soooo hard though. Thanks again and sending big hugs. xo 🤗🧡💚🧡

[@myvagabondstyle]

@@NellieandRuthDesigns yes we did. Just wanted to put it out there so people notice your bravery to try something new. You rocked this!

Hi, Melodie 🌼💖🌼 I hope you are having a peaceful and relaxing weekend as well. Thanks so much for sitting with me and I'm really happy you enjoyed what I created. Not sure if I'll head down that road again, but you never know. I hope all is well with you and you have been able to craft a bit. Today is planting day for me; tomatoes, basil, geraniums and zucchini.............and then on to MM collage for Sunday. A dance recital this afternoon and gosh .............. it's a crazy day. Blessings to you and you entire family. Sending big hugs your way, gf 🌸🙏🏻🌟💖🌼🙏🏻

Thank you, Christine but I think you've gone a bit too far with your compliment 🤗💖 You are so sweet, thank you very much.

Have a wonderful weekend and I'm sending blessings and hugs your way .......... I hope you are relaxing and enjoying the day. Hugs 🤗💖🌼

Thank you so much 🤗 Yes, they are little party animals aren't they. Thought I'd give this art form a try but not sure I'm really into it. TFW, gf and have a blessed day. xoxo

Hi, Barbie! I'm a bit late to the party but oh my goodness! I love this collage. You really did a fantastic job with the mixed media and your doodling is superb! Love the owls - so cute! Mixed media is anything you want it to be - there are no rules and you can make it your own. Have a great weekend gf! xoxo

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks so much, Joy, and you are by no means late to the party. Thank you for the encouraging words and advice. It was my first real try at this mixed media art and still on the fence. I'm not sure I'd try it again, but one never knows. I have to practice, and right now, I do not have the time... I have so many other ideas I want to do for you. Thanks again and you have a wonderful weekend. Hugs 🌸 🧡🌸🧡🌸 xo

[@juliaarmato3984]

Barb, this is totally Awesome!!! I think it's your best one yet. I love it. Never be afraid again. I'm going to save it to my favorites. God bless 💖

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Oh, Julia ......... you are so sweet. A road less traveled for me but I had to go down it to see what happened. I'm so happy you enjoyed the video and this crazy mixed media collage. I'm still afraid, but I guess those fears will disappear if I practice and try more. Thank you again for your wonderful comment. 🌼🌸💖 Sending a wheelbarrow full of hugs and love your way today. 🌸🌼🌟💖

Hi Barbie......really love your collaging is for the birds page, love the owls😊.......gosh, I'm so behind 🤦‍♀️

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Nafeesa ........... I'm so behind from being outside and doc appointments, don't feel bad .... I think it's natural for everyone to get behind. We are couped up all winter and now is the time to get outside and play, so do that. Rainy day's are for crafting! Thank you so much for sitting with me today and thank you for watching and leaving a very nice comment. Have a great weekend. xo 🌻🌻🌻😎

Very different but a great result at the end!

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

It was definitely different for me, but I had to give this mixed media a try. Thanks so much for tuning in, and I appreciate your comment. Have a fabulous weekend 🌸💓🌸🧡

[@MerryScraps]

This is amazing! All of your doodling really added a nice touch. I think this is a fabulous collage! I love owls!💜💜💜

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

I wish I could doodle a bit better, Jeana ...... but I find doodling hard. 😂😂😂 who would have thought. TFW and I'm so happy you enjoyed it, not sure I'll go down that road again, but one never knows. Hugs 🥰

[@MerryScraps]

@NellieandRuthDesigns I am terrible at doodling! When I was younger, I doodled on everything I could without thinking about it. Now, I am always worried about how it will look! Your doodling looked very good!!!

[@linmims3049]

Well Barbie, it looks like you're off to a great mixed media adventure. This is very good. I have been doing mixed media for 20+ years. Most of my scrapbook layouts are done with mixed media, so much so that some of my books have to stay upright to keep the pages fanned out so as not to smash the various pages. I'm by no means an expert, but am experienced, and would say that you did very well on this page. What I really like about mixed media is you can just go with the flow and usually in so doing come out with an interesting and creative project. There are no rules and I find that to be what attracted me to mixed media. What truly blows my mind about this is the fact that I was going to message you and ask if I could throw some mixed media into the "Collaging is for the Birds" challenge, because I have tried just collaging but so far it just seems blah to me, mine that is, everyone else's and especially yours always look so wonderfully put together, but mine just look flat and blah. So your collage for this week answered my 'would be' question. Thank you for sharing your creative flow, it turned out great! xx

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Lin, yes, by all means make your collages mixed media for Collaging is for the Birds ........ be as free as a bird to create a wonderful collage. That's what's nice about free range collage challenges ... it allows the creator to do just that, create. I am so new to all of this and have been inspired by Jesson Art here on KZbin ......... she is amazing. She told me to definitely give it a go but don't be surprised if you don't like what you create when you first start out .......... a very good point. Check her out ..... she's amazing. 💖 I'd love to see some of your art, I can only imagine, especially if you've been at it for 20+ years. I so appreciate you comment, it's very encouraging and kind. Have a great weekend! Hugs, gf 💞🧡💞

[@tatteredpaperandlace2905]

Barbie! You did it and it turned out fabulous! I love the colors! Those little owls are so cute. I understand about the messy, that is hard for me too…but you have broken out and got her done. Super job. I saw your message on Instagram and have replied.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you so much, Pam. Yes, we are not messy girls at all 🤣 I can tell just by your nails ... they are always perfect and absolutely beautiful. Not sure I'll do it again, but one never knows. I love watching others create but I think regular collaging is my thang !! I'll check my phone ... I haven't been on it since I messaged you. Have a great weekend, gf and thanks again. xo 🥰🥰

[@mrsA805]

This is fabulous gf! ❤ I’m also the proud owner of the owl napkins 😂 but could never figure out what to do with them. This looks like a Birthday Party! The mixed media looks great on your collage…You gave me some great inspiration 😉 Happy Weekend

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Yes ........ use that napkin and make your own birthday party ....... I just love these little owls. I'd like to try to use them more in other art. Thanks for haning out with me and I'm so happy you enjoyed the video. Make some of the awesome tags you've been doing with the napkin. I bet they'd come out great. Have a great weekend, gf and see you tomorrow with the MM collage. xoxo 💖🌼🌟🌸

The owls are so darn cute, they'd put a smile on anyone's face. They make coffee cups as well with these images ........ a nice 'hello' morning wake up. Thanks for watching and leaving a nice comment. 💞💙💞

[@lvan4407]

Looks like a lot of fun it really turned out cute. I have a sticker that says creating art means getting messy I thought that is a true statement enjoy watching you❤

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

I need that bumper sticker 🎨💥 I used to love finger painting in grade K, but that was a looooong time ago. 🤣 that's about as messy as I ever got. Thanks for your encouraging comment. Maybe again, and maybe not 😳 hugs !!
