Making an Art Series | Collage Art Featuring Nature Themed Art

It's been a while since I just created with no hard deadline. I finally can make this series I have temporarily named "Birds of Technology". It has been a series I have wanted to create since December! Today we are making an art series featuring nature themed art! It's not my usual style or angle but I had a vision for these pieces and definitely wanted to just go for it!

absolutely love these. I keep seeing so may different types of collages, it’s very exciting to see how limitless they can be.

[@flanzella]

I hope it inspires you to make something amazing 😍

[@clc3897]

This is absolutely gorgeous! Probably my favorite collages made by you. ❤❤❤

[@flanzella]

Oh wow! Maybe I should stop limiting myself to just vintage magazines 😳

[@hermienbosman2898]

Love it. Make me think of stained glass. Glass strips fused together. Feels like you are looking through a coloured glass window to the birds outside on a grey winters day ❤

[@flanzella]

I definitely can see that correlation, neat!

[@NanetteStein]

Gah! I’m such a FAN! A …..FANzella! Those are fantastic!

[@flanzella]

I love this comment 😂💕 thank you so much

[@papabear2515]

All are fabulous! The vibrant colors with the birds - gorgeous! My dream is to get as smooth and easy as you are with the exact knife! Thanks, Kathleen

[@flanzella]

Practice every day and you will get there!

[@cathykodra3169]

I absolutely love what you’ve done in this series! Thank you for brilliant ideas and expert examples of effective composition. Such lovely art. I also really like your working title (Birds of Technology).

[@flanzella]

Thank you so much, sometimes it's harder to work simpler like this as even the smallest thing out of line can affect the composition heavily! Thanks for watching ❤️

[@valeriereed9994]

Love. Love. Love these! To take those book pages and see what you saw, step by step is MAGIC to me!

[@flanzella]

I'm so glad you enjoyed watching the full process 😀

[@ShelleSinger]

I loved all three. I'm a bird fan but don't use a lot of them in collage...go figure. The combination of the B&W with those wonderful color strips work magic together.

[@flanzella]

Making art for the bird lovers 😜 glad you liked them!

[@heathervaughn6508]

These are gorgeous! Great job - I love how you balanced these compositions!!

[@flanzella]

Appreciate it! It definitely was a balancing act 😋 but a good challenge

[@melindaartrip1502]

Thank you for sharing. Your use of the negative portion of cutouts has inspired me to be more aware of how i cut out my images. It never occurred to me to utilize them. Also you reminded me of the power of cutting images into strips. Great video!

[@flanzella]

The negative portion can often make an even better piece than the one I am actually trying to make 😋 funny how that is. Glad this served as a reminder!

[@joejoymcclintock4485]

Really love these, I kept thinking I couldn’t cut up those gorgeous backgrounds, but you made the strips work. You’ve inspired me to give using strips a try!❤️

[@flanzella]

This is why it took me so long to cut the pieces 😂 I knew I had one shot with them but I am super happy with the final product. Definitely give it a try!

[@vetechgrl2000]

I love these! I have thought of working with straps of paper like that before but never tried. I will now. I liked what you did!

[@flanzella]

Highly recommend, I loved doing it!

[@MrsBednar]

Very exciting pieces.

[@flanzella]

Thank you 😊

[@AlexVinder]

LOVE those Collages. The colors and themes go so well together. As to your question about recurring symbols/elements: for me it's insects and bugs. Maybe I'm drawn to the colors or the abstract forms, idk 😅

[@flanzella]

Thank you! OMG another animal motif! I could definitely see that, they have really beautiful shapes that other animals and objects do not have. I'm glad I am not alone!

[@hencrawford4934]

Beautiful series, you could continue different coloured shapes or different animals

[@flanzella]

Love this idea! I still have a lot of that paper to go around so may as well try! I definitely want to try the butterfly one 😍

[@sherilegacy8870]

Amazing! 😍 Really love it! I need to try using different shapes like that! I love how you think outside the box!

[@flanzella]

Outside the box and into the paper strips ;) Glad you liked these ones! I bet shape punchers would be great to work with too!

[@KyraThomsen]

I love these! When I'm working with strips like this I also like to balance things out with circles (I have some different sized circle cutters so they're always perfectly round and sometimes all a piece needs is one little element to add colour or pattern but not draw the focus from the piece). I've really liked seeing you make more abstract pieces with colour and shape, I find them the most fun to make

[@flanzella]

I had a circle cutter phase! They are excellent! It's nice to have a way to experiment with different shapes. Glad you are enjoying them!

[@carolpriamo1021]

Love these. Great design too.

[@flanzella]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

Love your pieces. Great work. 😊👍🏻

[@flanzella]

Thank you 😀

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

You'r welcome.

[@avirtualcanvas7584]

Leah this trypyich of pieces look great together,I find when I'm creating my pieces a single image isn't enough to t=realise my idea visually so often a series will emerge.The minimal look of the three pieces really works too and the mix of monochrome and colour is more subtle visually too,Sometimes it's good to do something that takes you out of a creative comfort zone,as it gives you a new way of working visually and the original idea can change or refine itself as you are creating the pieces..Its great that we get to see you create in real time as well. what about "Woven Aviary" as a title because it alludes to birds weaving twigs etc to build their nests,but also alluds to how you created the pieces as well.(matt) P.s am again inspired by your May prompt words list,I'm finding I get some ideas imediately looking at the words,then other ideas happen as I'm makng pieces for new pieces,like one idea somehow triggers another,which I guess is the whole point of a prompt,that it tiggers/prompts ideas! To

[@flanzella]

I'm glad you liked them and I love that name idea! I agree it's important to step out of your regular style in order to grow. I finally have the space now to do so with art shows out of the way!

[@flanzella]

(glad you are inspired by the prompts as well! I will be giving them a try soon!)

[@avirtualcanvas7584]

@@flanzella it would be great to see a video of you creating pieces from your prompts and I think it would inspire others to work with them too,as before I have created a board on my Pinterest for the May prompts(Matt)p.s you asked about images that appear in our art but that we have no explanations why,for me it's Halos,I often give figures or creatures Halos,no idea why but it just feels like a right thing to add.

[@jillharper7456]

Is it okay to put work like this in shows with NFS? New to collage.

[@flanzella]

Hi, can you clarify what NFS is? Welcome to collage!

[@jillharper7456]

@@flanzella not for sale. Since it contains copyrighted images.

[@flanzella]

I do sell them, you can check out my other videos but this one specifically talks about copyright: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoW6kqFpbtl9bdE I do a lot of sociatal critique within my work and only use parts of images to help avoid this. It's not a perfect method but it makes me feel comfortable. I hope this helps!
