Scrapplications 7 - Painty Scrap Paper

[@CatHand]

I apologize for too much paper spinning in this video - that affects me, too! I didn’t realize it was so bad until after it was uploaded. I will pay more attention to that in the future. You can slow it down, though, on your device, which is good. Stay safe and well, everyone! 😊

[@NanaStillLearning]

Cat Hand Oh Cat that is not what I meant. I was saying you are so clever and have such a good eye that I am humbled. Please do not think there was an ounce of criticism...only praise. I will try to remember when commenting that what’s in my head doesn’t always translate.

[@gloriaeike4973]

It's amazing watching you create this. When I thought that this was really a great piece, you added things to it that made it greater. Thank you for your many wonderful ideas!!

[@allthumbs3792]

So cheery and bright! Just what we need to see in these tough times.

[@jammaarts1585]

I’m just being honest... I did not like this at first. I thought it just looked like something a kid would do, but I kept watching because I ADORE WATCHING YOU! Then BOOM... it was so cool, bright and fun! Really glad I stuck it out to the end. Thank you for being such a light in such a dark time!!!

[@UandMeGod]

Wow!!! I am not so sure that ANYONE can do this.... Because I just watched you take bits and pieces of random stuff and some doodles and then I swear I saw some magic swirl up on the screen and then *Poof* an AWESOME masterpiece!!! I am stunned! You are amazing!!!! Thanks for making my morning much brighter!

[@CatHand]

Thanks so much! I hope you will try it, even on a small piece of paper or a tag. It’s so much fun to just do it without thinking and see what emerges! 😊

[@UandMeGod]

@@CatHand I am going to give it a try! But I still think those Posco pens had magic coming out of them! Because how in the world did those little bits and pieces you collaged on that page and some random doodles turn into that amazing eye catching piece of art? I mean I watched you create the whole thing! But still It's just simply amazing what you created! I may try it on a much smaller scale for a first time like you suggested that way it's not so intimidating. But I am definitely gonna give it a whirl. Considering I have unlimited time on my hands now with this whole Quarantining thing we all are dealing with! I do have a question though.... What suggestions do you have of a comparable pen to those Posco pens? Because they are really expensive and believe me I really want them but I just looked them up on Amazon and that just isn't in my budget right now with recently being laid off due to the Covid19 thing. Thanks again for brightening my day today!! You are an amazing artist.... I mean it!

[@sharonedwards9223]

Good grief you can turn anything into art!! Absolutely adorable! I love watching you ❤️

[@debrabee17]

OMG!!!! You’re incredible!!!! When I first got into rubber stamping 30 years ago I knew I loved mixed media! Then into scrapbooking I brought my mixed media to another level. Watching you, after finding your channel, has really shown me my authentic self. Love bright colors and mixed media! You have inspired me so much. Also joined the FB group! So excited to have found you. In art we are blessed.

[@CatHand]

[@mariawhiddon]

Oh my Goodness! If I hadn’t seen the video, I would never have known how much work had gone into this piece! When I thought you were surely finished, you just kept going and going. I absolutely love this. I love all the vibrant happy colours and again Cat, you’ve brightened my day. Thank you. 🖍🖍🖍🎨✏️✏️✏️

[@Abbie7301]

Oh my ❣️ this kept going and going you kept adding and adding . just when I thought “surely she must be finished” you added more and more. This is doodling on steroids 🤪 what an absolutely colorful bright spot of happiness this brought into my day. I would love to start something like this but wow this was amazing to watch. How much time did you actually put into creating this? I positively love this piece. I’m getting stir crazy cabin fever with this COVID 19 social distancing. Thank you for sharing 😍 Now what will you do with it?

[@CatHand]

Thanks! It was a couple of hours of pure fun! So far I have made it into a digital download in my Etsy shop. No other plans for it yet. 😊

[@BarbaraEMarshallCampbell]

@@CatHand I suggest pattern paper and gift wrapping paper.

[@susanmary4752]

Such a joyful piece!! Thank you

[@deborahreis9244]

I do love this doodling with paper scraps.

[@CatHand]

Thanks, Deborah. It’s REALLY a lot of fun! 😊

[@lisamorales3914]

You have been my biggest inspiration recently. You literally make something out of nothing. Who/what inspires you?

[@CatHand]

Thank you, Lisa! 😊 I really enjoy creating and sharing on my YT channel. I wrote a blog post a few years ago that should answer your question about what inspires me. You can check it out here: mixedmediamorsels.com/2017/08/05/what-inspires-me/

[@bettejowelton7459]

Such fun! One of my favorites things about watching your videos is seeing your color choices. You know just when to put in the right pop of color. Learning a lot. Thanks.

[@AFREEME22]

I LOVE to watch your thinking process!

[@CatHand]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@chrischristiansen3037]

Thank you. You taught me much about color and depth of layering. I always admire your work.

[@CatHand]

Thank you so much, Chris! 😊

[@NanaStillLearning]

I almost can’t stand to watch...haha. At first I’m thinking, “Oh I would do this or that.” Eventually I’m sure you’ve got it perfect and then you just keep going. Amazing!!!!!

[@evelynrauseo467]

So bright. So beautiful! TFS. I did. God bless! Be safe!

[@bonnerdebbie]

Super page Cat, I loved it at a couple of different stages but the finished piece is the Best.

[@lindaharris2607]

Absolutely beautiful! The kind of piece I'd frame and put on my wall to make me happy!

[@jennygee9849]

I’m glad I watched until the end. Although this technique isn’t for me, and I frankly had my doubts early on, I love the way it turned out. So much wonderful visual interest. Thank you!

[@CatHand]

Thanks, Sherri! 😊

[@elainebedigian2248]

This was fun and relaxing to watch. There were different points where I thought you'd wouldn't be able to pull it together into a cohesive whole, but you did a lovely job. TFS

[@CatHand]

Thanks, Carlotta! 😊

[@dawnkarasaki6172]

Thanks, Kathy. The music in this video came from the KZbin Audio Library. 😊

[@rivetingglance]

Gorgeous!

[@lauramurphy438]

Love your bright and colorful painted paper. Are you going to add it to an art journal page? TFS

[@CatHand]

Thanks, Laura. I made a digital download of it for my Etsy shop - no other plans for it yet. 😊

[@christinefoss5767]

Gorgeous!!

[@asawyer208]

happy colors! love it♡♡

[@sallyjohnson1566]

Love this! Got a little dizzy from all the spinning though! Kicks up my vertigo! I have TONs of magazine images cut out but I think cutting them up smaller makes great sense to use for things like this.mYours would make a fabulous journal cover! Be well, Kat!

[@CatHand]

Thanks, Sally. I apologize for too much spinning in this video - that affects me, too! I didn’t realize it was so bad until after it was uploaded. I will pay more attention to that in the future. You can slow it down, though, on your device, which is good. Yes, magazine images will work great! You stay well, too! 😊

[@sallyjohnson1566]

Cat Hand no worries! You are truly one of my favorites, and when I need inspiration or feel uninspired, I go back and watch your MMM videos! Wish you would do these again!

[@marrissagoddard6175]

I LOVE this so much!

[@zareefacarrim5854]

So inspiring to see this kind of masterpiece. You're really Amazing..

[@CatHand]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@JoanneOwens1943]

Love it 😍 TFS

[@rossimorey2340]

This is me😁 Subscribed

[@CatHand]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@carlaszczuka5653]

This was so fun to watch! All the colors! What do you do with pieces like these?

[@CatHand]

Thanks, Carla! I haven’t decided yet. I mostly just did it for the joy I find in creating. 😊

[@2learn4ever]

Stunning result! Really enjoyed watching this process. I noticed you created the three blank circles (bottom right corner), earlier on, and then later you coloured and circled them in black. Did you envisage any of the design in your mind's eye before you began?

[@CatHand]

Thanks so much - I’m really glad you enjoyed watching! No, I had absolutely no preconceived ideas about this piece. I love doing this exercise - if you just go with it, without thinking, there’s no stress. And that’s because if something ends up not looking quite right, you just paint over it, or cover it up with another scrap piece and keep going! 😊
