Definitely a magical collage. Love the pointing guy in the submersible. The gal with flower, mushrooms, fish and NYC skyline certainly gives him something to ponder. 👏👏👏😎

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you very much, Donna. I'm so happy you enjoyed the video and yes, I'm glad you got the message on the skyline and the underwater world of magical mystery ........ but in the ocean and not in the Hudson River 🤣🤣🤣 Have a great week. xo

[@peggyharwell3674]

Clever placements. I really enjoyed watching you create this collage. Hope you had a chance to play in your garden and be amongst the lovely flowers and veggies.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you so much, Peggy. Flowers, veggies and dirt are right up my alley. The weather has been so hot, it's hit and miss for me being outside. TFW and I'm so happy you enjoyed this little collage. Have a wonderful week and I hope to chat with you again down the road.

Hi, Barbie! This is one of your very best surreal collages!!! I love everything about it. You are SO talented. Hope your Sunday is a happy one! xoxo

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Hey, Joy !!! xo 💙💜💙 TY so much for your wonderful compliment and for hanging with me. This was so much fun to make for you all. So far my Sunday has been great. Spent the morning hiking with my DIL ..... 10,000 steps OMG😮my first time back on a mountain in 2 years and my calves feel like I've been skiing all day 🤣🤣 She leaves on the 11th to go back to Romania for 3 months so I'm trying to spend as much time with her before she goes. Beautiful day today, perfect weather. I hope you had a lovely day as well 🌻🌞 Have the best week ever and I've got to check out your Instagram to see what you've created. Hugs. xoxo

[@juliaarmato3984]

Well, that was fun! The one fish peaking out is cute. Have a lovely day. God bless 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Blessings heading your way as well, Julia. TFW and I'm so happy you enjoyed the video. TY for taking the time to hang with me. Have an incredible week and happy crafting. 🐟🐠🐟🐠🐟🐠

Barbie you are so talented. Wonderful imagination gf! Love this collage. TYFS Cindy

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you, Cindy. I had no idea about these prompts but once I got a better mind set, I was good to roll. TFW and I'm so happy you enjoyed this video and how this collage turned out. Hugs and have an awesome week. xo

[@lanakristoff5188]

Yes the Hudson River sure does have a few interesting things in it but none as cute as that little peek-a-boo fish. He made me smile and I am glad you added him. I was doing a bit of shouting for you to hear me say "yes, yes use him." Guess you heard me. Nice job on this one. 🤩

[@michcrafty8664]

This collage has such good vibes. I loved your saying and the way the sweet little Angel is looking around almost in wonder. ❤ TFS

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks, Mich. I think this is going to be the last MM I do for awhile. I'm going to try some new projects and see how they go. I'm having trouble with the prompts and spending way too much time gather ephemera for them. You keep going so I can keep up!! hugs, gf 🥰

[@shayriddle1498]

Barbie, this is a wild one! Love it. Your imagination blows my mind. Always look forward to your work. Hugs xoxo

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you so much! Something different, Shay and I love all the little sea critters. Another good example for those who may get stuck creating. Hugs, gf and TFW xoxo

[@tatteredpaperandlace2905]

This one is magical Barbie. A lot of fun stuff going on. I think my favorite thing is replacing the girls wand with the flower and the cute little fish peeking out around it. Great job…you rocked this one gf!

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks, Pam. Yes, She needed something special she was holding and looking up at, that's why I had to add those fish too. I'm lucky to have stumbled on that cute fish that is hiding behind the flower and peeking back at her. Thanks, gf and I appreciate you hanging with me. Hugs and have an awesome week. xo 💙💚💙

[@mrsA805]

Just fabulous Barbie! ❤ I’m glad you’re going to hang it up and not hide it in a journal. Your surreal collages are better every time! I lived near the Hudson River for many years, in the Hudson Valley region abt 20 miles from NYC. Any dredging done there probably brought up bodies 😂 Have a great Day!

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

🤣🤣🤣 .............. all I can say is, I agree and never thought of that. You made me giggle so hard and this comment is a great way to start my day. TFW, gf and see you soon. xo 👽💀🤣

[@melodiepeck655]

Great collage as always! Love the saying you added - just perfect! Have a great weekk Barbie.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

You have a great week too, Melodie. It's terribly hot here today and with the high pollen blowig through the air, it's a stay inside day (maybe week) for me. TFW and leaving a wodnerful comment. xo 🥰

[@myvagabondstyle]

Wonderful Barbie. I love all the mushrooms and fish. This turned out great. You worked it girlfriend.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

See, gf ....... I did it. I'm so happy I found that background page of the men in the underwater bus ......... I really like how this turned out. It's so much fun ..... fish and mushrooms, who would have thought. Hugs, xoxo 💙💚💙🐟🐟

[@J0yb3ells]

Lovely story, and your work is magical! We use the Vicks on the feet to stop night coughing. 😊

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you, Joy and I'm happy to hear I'm not the only one that pushes that. Have a wonderful week and get outside and play if you can. xo 🌼🌷🌼

This is such a fun page! I love it! Fun hearing about your parents.

[@MerryScraps]

I just asked hubby because I was sure the plant near us is Hercules, and he said it is. When you were talking about it, I kept thinking that is what it is called.

[@christine0nowell757]

I rub vick in to my daughter toenail and the toenail is getting back to normal it has many properties to it's use. The bird collages you did was amazing, and I don't know if you watch 49 dragonflies another Barbara who is from Vienna, but she doesn't like mess on her hands and she wears disposable gloves so that's a thought for you. Your collages are very original, and I for one wouldn't give compliments if it wasn't meant, so believe it my friend, you have talent OK!. Good wishes to you all from the UK xx

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Christine, I believe every word you say to me, I just don't feel I deserve such praise. Thank you, my sweet friend. xo I love Vicks ....... I think it's a wonder rub and yes, it can be used for so many things. My mom kept a large jar and she smeared it on me whenever she could to help me with a cold, etc. I like that much more than those awful mustard plasters you'd place on my chest when I had pneumonia or other congestion. They were not fun at all. Thank you for another wonderful compliment on this collage, it was so much fun to create and I'm so happy you enjoyed it. Thank you for your good wishes and I'm sending blessings your way. Hugs, gf and TY again! 💙💚💙

💜💜💜 great collage! Some weeks go so easy and others are a real pain 😵‍💫

Thanks, Amy and you hit the nail on the head. Have a great week, gf 🐟🐟💮

[@danielerichard3619]

What a fantastic page. And you're so good with the exacto knife.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you very much, Daniele ... I truly appreciate you kind comment. I'm so happy you were able to sit with me today and enjoy the entire process. Have the best week ever and I hope to see you again. 🌻🍋🌼🍉

[@avirtualcanvas7584]

I love your more surreal pieces,they are playful and bright,I like the blues of the background image against the sunlit colours of the cityscape,it looks like a man exploring the lost city of Atlantis and encountering a young mermaid guardian of this lost city,creating a magical dance of all the fishes.(Matt) P.s it reminds me of a painting by the surrealist painter Rene Magritte called "Collective Invention"

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

I love your description of it all ...... great job of explaining the piece!! 🐟🐟 I have never seen the Collective Invention and will have to check it out along with Rene Magritte. I appreciate you sitting with me and watching the process. Have a great week !!

[@avirtualcanvas7584]

@@NellieandRuthDesignsThank you for taking time to reply,to my comment,hope you habe a great week too. The painting I refer to by Rene Magritte is called "Collective Invention" he painted it in 1934,hope when you look this up you'll see why your collage invoked thid artwork (matt)

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

@@avirtualcanvas7584 I did look it up and the work is amazing. TFS your info with me.

I appreciate you allowing yourself the freedom to NOT address ALL prompts 👍 I love the outcome ❤️

Such a great collage, Barbie. I saw your video where you weren’t talking and I was wondering if someone said something. Stay true to yourself. I always enjoy your stories, explanations, and chatty voiceovers. This collage came out wonderfully. ✂️📄🥰😂🙌💕🐟🐠

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Yes, someone did say they like my chatter 🤣I had to concentrate so hard on that mixed media collage I couldn't talk 🙊I'm back babbling about nonsense so yes, I'm staying true to myself. I'm not a huge mixed media gal, I have found out. Thank for your words, gf and I hope you are doing well. If I can get out of bed earlier I can join you in one of your LIVES ....... I've missed so many and have to go watch without any participation 🤣🤣 Have a great week! 🌻🌻🌻🌻💗
