Mixed Media Collage - Part 1

[@guitardee1]

Thanks for your advice about other people’s opinions on your art. A good friend was very critical but the best advice came from my son (a graphic designer) who said don’t show your art to anyone that doesn’t make art

[@TheAnniewoo]

Good advice👍

[@lynnesachs2330]

I curious why?

[@constancewalsh3646]

Ivy is the most easy on the ear, on the heart, as well as the best of online art teachers in my experience. Her extrapolations on the psychology of art are sensitive and educated. A naturalness with no fuss. Thank you!

[@BB-nz5sk]

Beautifully and succinctly said!!!

[@kimberleigh8345]

I have explored so many different kinds of art, from mosaic tiles and glass , acrylic painting, paint pouring, and also had a phase where I unicorn spit and deco-podged anything I could get my hands on. Now I had this crazy calling , out of the blue, to start clipping magazine’s and begin this new art venture. I have been browsing KZbin looking for inspiration, stumbling on your video. I just want to let you know , I really enjoy the pace in which you work, and unlike other channels who talk about having an idea already in their head, I could not relate and would feel like maybe I’m not cut out for this. That’s where you come in. I really appreciate the fact that you also allow one piece to guide you to the next , without necessarily having it all mapped out ahead. I find mapping out this kind of thing difficult in this particular field of art. So thank you for sharing your art and for your soothing voice and relaxed paced in which you work, I find it a breath of fresh air.

So beautiful! My mom was an antique dealer who specialized in Victorian items, especially ephemera. She passed away in 2006 and I have boxes of it and didn't know what to do with it but in my heart, knew I kept them for a reason. Now I have a reason. Thank you so much! Love and hugs! ♥

Oh how beautiful! I hope you have been creating with all the treasures she left you!

Thank you for your comments on the importance of collage as an art medium.

[@DrJones-nh4my]

You talk about trust and I have been calling it courage. It takes courage to make art.

[@CountessOlaf]

18:45 I’ve gotten this far and I’m in love. The bottom edges look like little flame licks and add to it immensely. I’m all about happy accidents. I would never want a straight edge And happy accidents become a choice as well as anything. One could leave it, enhance it, cover it, trash it….. it is all the choice of the artist.

Collage means using the creative world around you. It’s a brain game changer ✌️🌻💕

[@IvyNewport]

I couldn't agree more Beth! I adore collage!! Thanks for your encouragement!

[@Kraftydesignsbyopie]

First time here. I enjoyed your video. I've done Junk journals with pictures and things, collages. I do my own themes and other peoples opinion doesn't bother me, because Art is the heart and what it means to each person. For example. I sit to do my journals/ collage etc. Because its calming and it transports me to a world only I see .

[@IvyNewport]

Thanks for sharing!! :) So glad you enjoyed the video!

[@MIMI-fr9vx]

Spot on, I feel this will be my safe gateway to art. We are supportive to other artists but our own worst critics which make us freeze . Thank you , you are the best .

[@DOCDOCFLAMINGOS]

Thank you for sharing your process .. And an even bigger THANK YOU !!! For speaking about the criticism that people may come across. As like you everyone and what they make or create are Valid! I had an awesome professor that had us critique our work with the class. Always having us saying 1 thing we did like and 1 thing we thought they could do better or change, and the most important WHY for both and not just saying to say say it. In the end it's important for people to remember "It's only one person's opinion." So take it in stride and keep doing what your doing that makes you happy.. And lastly something I really connected with was "That we really don't need any help being negative and critical of our work and ourselves" As most of us are doing that twofold just fine on our own !! Thanks again !! I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos !!!

[@IvyNewport]

You are so welcome! Thank you so much for this very kind comment! I'm so happy my teaching resonated with you!!

[@TrueLoveX1027]

Hi Ivy, I usually listen to music when I work in my journal, but sometimes I enjoy listening to you create as I do. I am currently working on a journal with a theme of love based on a quote by Mother Teresa, " Spread love wherever you go. Let no one come ever come to you without leaving happier." I share this as it leads directly into some praise I'd like to throw your way... I am so glad you talked about collage being just as "real" an art as oil painting or sculpture or performance art like dance. It makes me crazy when people put others down, saying collage isn't "real art." As you've so rightly said, it takes good composition, color theory, a message, etc. when putting together your journal pages. A journal is all about expressing what we sometimes can't put into our own words. I love how you make what you do so inclusive of those who may not have gone to art school. You spread positivity and heaven knows we are hard enough on ourselves and the world can be ugly, so creating such a warm and welcoming environment helps others be their most creative and true self. God bless and keep on creating! 💝

Gel plate is another way to transfer images. And, speaking of “gateways” into art, is safe, easy, inexpensive and BIG, BIG FUN. 🎈🤸‍♂️🎈🤸‍♂️🎈I started making art after 20 years away from it working as a writer, with a gel plate. You can make standalone prints or images for collage or mixed media. But mostly it’s UNintimidating.

[@IvyNewport]

thanks for this tip Lynn! I need to try a Gel plate for sure! Sounds like a blast!!

When you first said Evelyn Nesbitt, I was thinking of Elizabeth Sidall. I am not an artist at all. I'm merely an appreciator. I've seen the documentaries on the tragedies of each model, and while I initially confused the two, it's remarkable that times haven't really changed much.

Is it possible to give me a list of what kind of paper you use to print your images on and is mixed media paper the correct choice for a project. Looking forward to hearing from you.

[@IvyNewport]

It can take a few times to get a transfer to work! Trust me I have had several failed attempts too! I just use regular printer paper...nothing fancy. It takes practice to use the right amount of gel medium and the pressure to use. Do some small tests and see how you go. Good luck!

[@lynnesachs2330]

Hi Ivy Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🦃 long time anyway this is great. My question is what can you do if you want to do a transfer.. I don’t have or know anyone who has a lazer printer. That’s my problem. Don’t know what to do. Thanks🌻

[@IvyNewport]

@@lynnesachs2330 hi Lynne. You can try doing some tests with an ink jet printer. Sometimes if you spray the print out first with spray fixative it will prevent the ink from running. But I would try it without doing that too. Experiment. ☺️ you could also go to a local print shop like Fed Ex or Office Depot and do laser prints there. Or sometimes your local library will have a photocopier that you could use. Hope this helps! Happy Thanksgiving. ☺️

[@melissahines5988]

I am curious as to the thought process as to when to do a transfer and when to just glue the picture on there. Probably preference and thinking maybe a transfer is flat where gluing the picture would have an edge.... just pondering your thoughts

[@Melophile74]

It's a matter of preference either is fine. It's just the end look will be quite different. One will be smoother, have a cleaner look where the other might have a bumpy uneven feel and look to it.

[@IvyNewport]

Yes it is mostly preference...it just depends the effect you are trying to achieve. Obviously a transfer doesn't leave you with cut edges like pasting on an image would. :)

@@neuroticnation144 I think Ivy answers these questions further along in the comments .

[@IvyNewport]

No I'm not using any special paper. I have the best luck with laser prints...but you can use inkjet...it's just best to spray them with a fixative first like a krylon spray to prevent the ink from running when you do the transfer. I would recommend doing some tests and see what results you get.

[@CherylHumbarger]

Just wondering if, while you are gently rubbing the paper backing off, if you could lightly wet a larger portion of the picture on which you're working, to have it soak a tiny bit and make it easier to rub off?

the transferring technique is cool, but a lot of work. What is the advantage of doing this vs just gluing/ decoupaging the image after fussy cutting?

Yes it is a bit of work but the advantage is the image feels more integrated...with little to no raised edge as you would get just gluing on an image.
