Honestly, Barbara, you are so much better than watching television! You make my brain want to try new things. It is just so much fun to watch you and become inspired! Your paper doll is gorgeous!

Thanks! That’s awesome! Get messy and have fun! 😃❤️

[@sylvielaufeydottir4210]

The paper doll was so beautiful 😍 Love your work 🤩 Me Hamna

[@bonnietyler5338]

I love the collage fodder you created. You are so creative! Your paper doll has gold paint, so of course, it is wonderful! I hope you have another tube of your favorite gold paint to use when you run out of this one.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Bonnie! Yes, I bought more gold! 😃❤️

[@teresitalamas5304]

Hi Barbara. You can also try tapping your brush instead of stroking it over the paper and your get another kind of results

[@crafterdeidra]

Your fodder doll turned out beautiful. Great craft with me video as always. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@hankdog3812]

Looks like fun! I will be trying it. Thanks for showing us!

[@marybethschuiteman484]

Wow, love how everything turned out. Your calendar idea for a journal is fantastic! Love your faces too. You are an amazing artist. Thanks for sharing 💜

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much! ❤️☺️

[@anettebrogaard]

just needed some inspiration for my junk journal and you immediately give me several different options. Now I have to watch the second video with collage fodder... ;) and now I have another task ... now I have to make some collage fodder too... ahhh nice inspiration from you. Thank you

[@andybaillie9939]

Hey Barbara. Love your channel. You are so bright and cheery. I always feel uplifted after watching you. Thank you for being… YOU. Hugs & gratitude from Downunder. 💐🙏 FYI: Fodder can also mean people or things that are useful for a particular purpose, e.g., politicians are always good fodder for newspaper cartoonists (they often make sarcastic cartoons about them). It can also imply being expendable e.g., when soldiers were referred to as ‘cannon fodder’.😪

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Andrea! So happy you are enjoying my channel! ☺️❤️ And thanks for the information! 🥰

[@debbiecarter6430]

Great stuff. Love that the nails match the fodder too! 😁

[@1771bubba]

I’m not into the whole paper doll thing, but yours is beautiful 😍

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you ! 😃❤️

[@suruha2306]

I'm so happy to see you featuring 'fodder'! I don't like using 'commercial' images and/or papers. Copyrights! So, I make my own fodder. I doodle and paint and cut papers I find and use those. Prescription inserts are great once painted over and decorated. They're thin paper and usually BIG, though they are folded up quite small in the box. I just need more ideas for different ways to create the fodder! And, here you are! LOL Thank you! Su

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you Su! Prescription papers are a great idea! 😃❤️

[@tonidibernardo171]

Love the colors and fodder. Enjoyed watching you put it all together.

[@MichelleRaeLandry]

I’ve always heard Fodder used as “ food for thought” so making art fodder makes perfect sense to me! So fun & I Love that paper doll !

[@teresamarsh1555]

Such wonderful background collage fodder you have made. I love your paper doll, thanks for showing us how to do this.

[@barbara-dj1uo]

I love how you raised the rings and tilted them. Rather than look like a butterfly, the wings look like part of her dress. You are so very creative.

[@debbie115]

Absolutely gorgeous! I love gold everything too! 😜🤎

[@sharonromer6606]

So cute❣

[@CraftyClaire2020]

Lots of gorgeous fodder collage 😊 love the colours and stencils you’ve used, the paper dolls are very interesting there good to make 🦋 your paper doll looks fabulous 🦋 tfs 💖

Thanks so much Claire! ❤️

[@lsl43deo]

Love the butterfly wings as a collar! 🦋💙🦋

[@prof.mommyarty]

I love messy play and packaging, this is perfect! Flourishes are so pretty. I never use my brayer, I really should because that texture is great. Oooh I need that art deco stencil to go with your papers! (Which are my favourite colours) I cut mine on the silhouette out of double laminated pouches.oh you say 'thay-low' and it's my absolute favourite even when oil painting. your nail varnish is gorgeous too 😍. Oh I've seen Tim Holtz brayer paint into stamps! What a brilliant use for a calendar, I love your faces, I haven't done one for so long. Oh can't wait to use my calendar! Your doll is beautiful 😍 a little like a geisha! Thank you so m this was an awesome video💖

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks again for your kind feedback, Debbie! ❤️

Ah thank you for your constant inspiration. My son wants to try a boy version of this in the holidays! 💖

OMG I Love it Barbara !!!!!!!!!

[@beautybug1831]

Your paper doll is amazingly regal 👑💎 (And her frinds are gorgeous as well - you can make a doll's head bookmark for your journal, using your fab collage fodder 😍). What do you think? Now, I'm imagine everything with a doll's head attached to it... 😁Hahaha...

[@49dragonflies]

Hahaha thanks! That’s such a cute idea! 😃❤️

[@maudhiemstra]

That paper doll is super cute, I wasn’t interested in the collage fodder until now, but this is a fun thing to experiment on my list now. Hugs Maud

[@49dragonflies]

Yay! 😃👍🏻❤️

[@49dragonflies]

😃❤️

[@susangrumman9187]

I'm enjoying catching up on LOTS of video's. I tried to do this ... arting along with you ... I had some fails and some wins. I'm definitely better at stamping with inks than with stenciling. I've ordered better brushes and will try again. I'm now watching a geli plate video. I love it when you experiment and share it with us instead of just showing us everything perfectly. Although, the things you call "fails" are often really great! Thank you!!!

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks! Enjoy all the videos! 😃

[@kellygreen1343]

You are SO artistic!

So much fun sweetie! I love the fodder 🥰 actually I liked that second try with the shaded stencil better than the first 😄 the broader shadow makes it more defined. But ... it is all equally beautiful in the end. Big hug

Awh, reminiscent of my college days in art studio classes. Fun! Love your cyan nails for the video too. Yes, cyan and gold are your fave hues lately. Lovely. To pronounce 'Phalo' = (fay-low), hard soundingard'A' and 'O'. Thanks Barbara, I'll play too.
