I’ve loved watching your process - I too was unhappy with the bottom right of the collage - so glad you changed it 👏😂 Thanx for sharing x

My new life motto: “ Try not to get too thinky thinky. “

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Ha ha it’s a good motto to have, I heard Louise Fletcher say this and I loved it too 😀

[@PMartistStudio]

Coming along nicely! Looking forward to part 3

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Thanks 🤩

[@rebeccafraser8616]

So interesting to watch your process, though I did wish for a bit more narrative or explanation of your decision making. I wonder what that tool was that you used towards the end of the video to draw lines or circles in the painted bits. Can’t wait to see the next video! I really like your work a lot!

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Great suggestion! Will take that on board 😀👍

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Oh, the tool is called a ball stylus, if you search clay sculpting tools you will find it 😀

[@MobyDickWorks]

@@susanmccreevyartist Phew! Was worried I was going to insult you! So glad you took it as was intended!

[@SallyHopkins-s7m]

It would be really useful if you had described what tools/mediums you were using during the latter part of this process. :)

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Thanks for the feedback 👌

[@julieboyle170]

Inspirational!

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@qesther63]

Thank you so much for sharing. How do you prepare your wooden canvas before gluing the collage? 😊

[@susanmccreevyartist]

I paint gloss medium on top of the wood as a barrier to and wood sap 👌

[@qesther63]

Thank you! I usually use gesso, do you think it makes a difference which one is used?@@susanmccreevyartist

[@frankylee4266]

Loved the dark blue tissue paper. Also how often you turn your panel round. I must try that, I get a bit stuck on one way. Please can I ask where you get your wooden panels from I’m trying to source some and I like that size. I’m in the UK too.

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Hi 👋 thanks so much ❤️ these are Seawhite of Brighton boards 👍

[@frankylee4266]

Thank you. They’re new to me.

[@wendydunne3732]

What is the name of the board you use and the tool you use to scratch into the paint. Thank you for sharing your process it's inspirational

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Thank you the board is called a cradleboard panel, the tool is a ball point metal sculpting tool ❤️

[@sallytreloar6425]

Is Pva glue the same as matt medium? Loved your process. Thank you.

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Mat medium is a bit thinner and easier to get thinner papers crinkle free, it’s also compatible with acrylic paint 🎨 😀

[@sallytreloar6425]

OK. Thank you. Much appreciated

[@HelenJeanneHandmade]

I loved this video! Are all of your papers printed on tissue paper? If not, what type of paper did you use. I couldn't tell from the last video. Thanks!

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Thanks 🤩 🙏Some of them are printed on thin sketchbook paper, or dressmaking paper, old book pages are great too 😀👍

[@karenloucreates]

Susan, what kind of "tissue paper" are you using (around the 33" mark)

[@susanmccreevyartist]

Hi 👋 I use Carnival wet strength tissue for collage 😀

[@Williams001t]

Hey Karen 🌹🥀 🌹 Marry Christmas 🌹 How are you doing??

[@librasister1]

[@susanmccreevyartist]

[@librasister1]
