Interesting how your approach seems so random but becomes a cohesive theme by the end. I don’t know if you thought of the musical notes as birdsong when you started, but they definitely contribute to the overall design.

[@CatHand]

Thank you so much, Vivian. Yes, I often adhere a bit of music paper along with images of birds on my collages, for that very reason. 😊 I appreciate your watching and taking the time to leave a comment.

[@nancykirk8913]

WOW, those leaves POP off the page now!!! You always know what to do to get it just right!!!! Beautiful!!

[@allisonjames2923]

I was so excited for you when the paper matched your bedroom... Then you noticed the vein pattern in them! Whoo hoo

[@annreid9172]

Love this! I’ve watched this video three times!🇨🇦

[@CatHand]

Thank you, Ann - it was so much fun to create and it still hangs in my home. 😊

[@katherinehaught7950]

I love how that scrapbook paper made such cool leaves ! ! Wow !! I' m also glad to see music paper. I can't read music but l think it makes such interesting paper touches. I am always searching for it. I finally found some at a scrapbook store!!

[@katherinehaught7950]

Beautiful finished piece !!!

[@CatHand]

Yes, that really surprised me, too! You can sometimes find old music books, hymnals, and/or sheet music at thrift stores or garage sales. That's where I've found a lot of mine. :)

[@CatHand]

Thanks so much, Katherine - I appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave your comments. :)

[@SUSSDUE]

Thank you so much for this video and how you show us the way you sort of searched the way to make this picture. I was just randomly searching on KZbin to find something to get me back the urge to create again and the picture of your leaves and the colours you use just caught my eye, mabe because I love botanical work. And now after seeing this I just want to get into my studio and start collage and painting again, so many many thanks!

[@CatHand]

That's awesome, Carlotta! I'm so happy to have inspired you to create again! Thank you very much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! 🙂

Beautiful and very instructive for anyone new to mixed media. Many, except for yours, edit out the process. But the process is what it's all about. Thank you.

[@CatHand]

Thank you, Debbie. I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 😊

[@joannedonovan9489]

That turned out really pretty! I love those leaves!! It's amazing how outlining things makes them stand out so much better! (I found that out when I stamp an image on a card, color it with paints, then outline everything! It pops!!) Thanks for the video!

[@CatHand]

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed watching! 😃

[@franceswatts4001]

Of all your videos I have this one at the top of my 😍😍😍 list. As so often happens, you do something (in this case the ivory in the centre) and I think "nooooo, stop!". But of course you then go on to prove why you are the teacher and I am the pupil and fully justify why you did it, ending up with works of true artistic genius like this one.

[@CatHand]

+Frances Watts Thanks, Frances! Lol, yes, sometimes there's a method to my madness... I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for your kind comments! 😊
