Talking Collage Fodder with Tiffany Sharpe

In this Facebook Live, I spoke with Tiffany Sharpe, a watercolor and mixed media artist, about her artist journey and the interesting world of collage fodder. Tiffany also demonstrates a unique watercolor technique for us.
Tiffany is a co-founder of Fodder School alongside Wendy Solganik, also known as Willa Wanders.

When I lost my husband tragically 10 years ago at the age of 32, creating art has become my life preserver and has kept my head above the drowning waters of grief. Mental Awareness Through Art.

Thank you for the awesome interview! Tiffany, you are adorable! Love your son's creations too! I loved seeing your collage fodder storage book you made. Loved it! The little dolls are wonderful! I would love to know how to make those. One of them looks like the queen!

Super sad face 😢 the gorgeous watercolour paints, can’t deliver to Australia 😢😢😢

About 5 minutes in and had to comment. Why is there so much happy surprise that a 6 year old boy learned to sew and make a quilt? My brother picked up sewing quicker than i, and that was in the 1970s. We really haven't progressed far in our supposed gender roles when in 2022 we are congratulating a Mum for teaching her children craft. I love mixed media and art journalling but its overly dominated by women with very stereo typical aesethetics. Enough with the cute, pink, flowers and butterflies. Where is the dark, grungy, punk, dare i say it, boyish art? In fact, where are the men/boys. Ok, end of soapbox rant.

I luv Tiffany’s collage fodder book ❤

[@janeruthraphael4644]

I just signed up for Fodder School 1 but I’m not really interested in doing flowers. So I’m assuming I can translate that to other objects

[@StephanieAnderson-u8l]

Tiffany’s story is so interesting! It inspires me. Thank you!

[@gigidtx]

Thank you 🌼 So excited to have signed up, I am loving the idea of learning how to create my own pages and learn my own style.

[@TrishaWotton]

Love Tiffany Sharpe she is very humble and creative.

[@jbelhard]

Just viewed this. I joined The Handmade Book Club in March & love Ali Manning. I recently took Free Fodder Challenge & joined Fodder School so I have lots of inspiration to put in books I will create. Thx to both of you.

[@VintagePageDesigns]

Yeah!!!

[@weezie4646]

How do you join the Fodder School ?

[@debracarter7290]

I’ve only recently become aware of the idea of collage fodder. A lot of it is definitely very attractive but nearly every video I see, people are producing almost identical work. It’s great if it’s used to jump start inspiration but such a shame that everyone is just copying the same ideas.

[@sharonmoore1196]

Sorry I didn't know my CAPS were on. Please let me know when the fodder class will happen again. I really enjoyed the Interview with Tiffany.

[@loveforpaper6203]

Nice

[@damaKa321]

a fun conversational interview & samples that inspire. 5 unrelated ads in addition to the normal intro ad is a bit much though.

[@michelel3372]

I really enjoyed this interview. Thank you so much!!

[@LisaThill]

New term to me...How is it different from ephemera ?

[@sharonmoore1196]

WHERE DO I SIGN UP. WHEN I SUBSCRIBE?? LOVE WHAT YOUR DOING

[@tripletgirl2484]

Interesting interview! I work full time so I enjoy these recorded videos!

[@barbaracimini1447]

I would LOVE to take the Fodder School course, but it’s just too pricey for me.😢

[@VintagePageDesigns]

Totally get it!!

[@kathyn3978]

Just this morning I discovered Fodder School and thought I really can’t afford to spend that much of my soc security check right now. But by signing up for the newsletter, I got a wonderful class for free…it was a treat to have my coffee(s) and watch it! Loved this interview. It’s a miracle we all survived the pandemic in more ways than one but I am also one of those who stayed out of the darkness by creating with my hands and staying busy!

[@creativebeanart]

Agreed, it's very expensive. I joined fodder school 2 on a whim, and regret my spend. Although I have enjoyed many of the classes, a lot of them don't interest me as I don't make tags, junk journals or cards for that matter. Another thing that has struck me, is how alike all the student work is. Very much a clone of the founders styles, and not a lot of originality.

[@tuthillg]

Great fun and informative! TFS the inspiration!

[@bethrose8938]

Art saved my sanity during pandemic too! And so happy to keep learning and arting!

[@valeriacolivoro25]

Hermoooooooosoooo 👏👏👏👏😍
