Fixing A Busy Background In Magazine Collage

I had a SUPER busy background that I loved, but it needed a bit of help to be a supporting player rather than the star!
Here is a post with lots of pics and a good description of what I did! artsyfartsylife.com/how-to-fi...

[@TaraJacobsen]

Oh my gosh... I got the Moonlighting part right at least!

[@theresaamato5776]

Love how Cybill turned out! 😊

[@TaraJacobsen]

Hehehe you gals are so sweet to remind me gently that I messed up!!!

[@jodymcknight187]

Oh wow I love the end finished picture

[@TaraJacobsen]

It turned out cool in the end didn't it!!!

[@csk5654]

OMG gf! AMAZING! You are the QUEEN of doodling Tara! I LOVE her! TYFS Cindy

[@TaraJacobsen]

She did turn out cool!!!

[@TerryJ950]

This may be one of my favorites from all your magazine collages. The doodling is next level!

[@TaraJacobsen]

Oh thank you! I think they are getting better!!!

[@justd4377]

That turned out to be so cool! All of your marks made it awesome!

[@TaraJacobsen]

I took a marks class from Seth Apter years ago that got me interested!

Loved the initial backgrounds done with tissue paper (including this one). After watching and rewatching this video, I think too that the border made it a bit busy; but the final outcome of your creativity and adjustments made it an outstanding piece of collage art. Well done.......thank you for your time, effort and explicit narratives in all your videos..

[@TaraJacobsen]

Right? I think it knocked it back just enough to be interesting but not in your face!!!

[@mickeymulder9741]

As usual another great lesson.

[@TaraJacobsen]

So glad you loved it!!!

[@deb.e.mixedmedia]

Super cool spread!

[@TaraJacobsen]

It turned out fun didn't it?!?!

At first I thought that Cybill Shepherd would be insulted that you thought she was Candice Bergen cuz I thought she was much younger but I googled them both and Cybill is 74 and Candice is 77! Both beautiful ladies!

[@TaraJacobsen]

I DID get them mixed up and I knew them when I was young!

[@keytones9280]

comments correct; that's Cybill Shepherd. Remember her well!

[@anjazegeling]

The page turned out great, love it! ❤️ And I feel a bit old now… I also know them both, Candace and Cybill… ouch! 😉😆

[@TaraJacobsen]

Right?!?!?!

[@michswan1005]

Great job Tara! I love it so much and thanks again for your awesome inspiration and tips! ❤. Btw, you’re too young to know Cybil or Candace! 🫶

[@TaraJacobsen]

Oh my, I DID get them mixed up!!! And I am too old enough (said like a 3 year old granddaughter!)
