Using fabric and paper background to make a mixed media collage for an art journal.

[@recreepy]

This mixed media collage is awe-inspiring, a testament to the power of visual storytelling.

[@artfiberstitch]

Wow, thank you! Visual storytelling, is a great phrase. ❤️

[@anitaf.2521]

Lovely piece! Also the mixing of everything 👍

[@artfiberstitch]

Thank you, glad you liked it 😊

[@sandybates2366]

[@artfiberstitch]

Thanks Sandy, me too! 🙂

[@maureenmunro2826]

Love the idea of mixing all the mediums together. This is lovely. And yes….no plan. Whatever is on your desk is fair game!❤❤

[@artfiberstitch]

That is the path to creativity ❤

Wish we lived near each other. We love the same things. Luckily my husband gets it. He brings me all kinds of things from all over the United States, even biggish rocks, because we live in an area with loess soil that doesn't have rocks, not one!

[@artfiberstitch]

Really? No rocks! Lucky your husband is onto it. Yes we must be kindred spirits, I am always find beautiful natural things on the ground and taking them home to enjoy 😊

[@chrissiebury5339]

[@artfiberstitch]

Glad you like it Chrissie

[@minkaf4243]

It is my pleasure ❤️

Not sure how I came across your video - it was an accident, but wow! what a happy one!! I picked up two woodpecker feathers and some grassy weeds as I took my early morning walk today. I always come back home with something!! I just love this video and want to try and apply your wonderful ideas in unison with my whirling around in my head thoughts. A fabric/paper book has been in my mind for a while but not sure how to start. I think you have provided the jumping off point for me to try. This is the only video I have watched so far but you can bet it will not be the last! Tonight will be my time for exploring your site!! Thank you for sharing this lovely idea!!

[@artfiberstitch]

Thankyou Judy. I just can’t help myself bringing interesting things home too! I hope you do get started on your journal and enjoy using your wonderful finds in artistic ways. ❤️

[@laurenceroutier5808]

Vous avez toujours de bonnes idées et des mains en or

[@artfiberstitch]

That is a beautiful thing to say. Thankyou

[@cathyphegley7848]

OMGosh! You’re just like me! I just happened on your site just now and I’m smiling from ear to ear. My friends think I’m a little kookoo because I’m always creating bouquets of leaves and grasses and twigs and dried flowers. I stick branches of plants in my fresh flowers. So excited to watch all your videos…..because I also love fabric and stitching, quilt making, and making book bags for Operation Christmas Child….shoe boxes sent around the world with school supplies and crayons and toys. I’ve subscribed so I won’t miss anything 💕Cathy in Montana

[@artfiberstitch]

Always wonderful to find a kindred spirit! Yes I am that strange person who brings interesting leaves and twigs home. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder so they say. We must both be Kookoo, but in a nice way 😀

[@cathyphegley7848]

@@artfiberstitch kookoo is so much better than boring🤣🥳🧚‍♂️

[@artfiberstitch]

@@cathyphegley7848 oh yes, my thoughts exactly ❤

[@judithchiasson8554]

What glue work best for fabric?

[@artfiberstitch]

Hi I mainly just use white craft glue, wood glue, or PVA glue added to water.
