Using Found Object & Nature Finds In Artwork

[@judycowan1566]

I love putting your objects on clothing!!!… haute couture!!

[@KMF3]

I like that bin and drawer organization.

[@karenatha7890]

I, too, have made stuff like this. And creatures all from found objects. The good fairies do help some of us artists!

[@chrisgregore359]

I just found your channel and I love your art. AND your sketches are absolutely stunning ... better than many people who are professional sketch artists. You are too critical of yourself. ❤ Thank you for sharing this.🙂

[@jaynapodgorski8561]

Oh wow !!! How well you put all your little treasures together. Amazing craftwork. Just love it. You have a lovely sensitivity which shows in your work. I too, am a lover of found natural goodies. I have always thought of combining them in my artwork, and have only just recently started doing that - and loving it. What a wonderful way to repurpose, and also using it to bring to peoples attention, ( who might not otherwise notice them as we do) , a love for these things too. Thanks so much for your inspiration 🌿🌼🍃

[@donnamorgancreations8781]

Thank you for sharing this fantastic video! I really enjoy and appreciate the way you use found objects!💞💞💞💞

[@unipile331]

That drawer of shadow box/printer trays is genius!!!

[@tututfifa]

You are so creative and talented. I really enjoyed watching your video and was so intrigued with your work. Please keep sharing all your inspirational ideas with us viewers.

That little dress you made is beautifully decorated Sandy. Thank you for sharing.x

[@cindybrewer2040]

I'm very excited to see your work! I love it! Thank you for sharing your treasures with us! I hope to see more videos!

[@chrismatheson4367]

You have a beautiful creative mind and it's obvious you choose to make the most of it. Thank you Sandy for sharing. Every blessing to you and yours.

[@firstnamelastname149]

All of your found items are wonderful! Interesting to see how you incorporate the little treasures. I don't feel so alone now, knowing there are others who gather and use "odd" items. :)

[@debbeshumaker1722]

Oh my gosh this is amazing. My family always laughs at me because I drag home all kinds of the same things. Love your art.

[@vjm1639]

wow.....just wow.....your art is fabulous. I've always been a collector of things and have been doing found objects in my art for a couple of years as an older woman who always wanted to be an artist but didn't find my thing until I was older. The way you incorporate your collections into your art is absolutely stunning. I'm flabbergasted....your art totally speaks to me. I'm a new subscriber as of now!

[@sandybabb8313]

I am so glad you enjoyed the video. It is never ever too late to try something new! I too am a late bloomer, it is wonderful to discover new things. Wishing you much success in your art journey.

[@susananncherrysetter3902]

I'm an artist that goes through different types of art phases on a fairly regular basis, primarily watercolor and collage. . But for some reason ever since I was a small child I've been drawn to "found objects" . I don't know how I got to be 74yr old without seeing this kind of art. But I am grateful for finding you and this wonderful art style. (and grateful I've carted jars and boxes of what my adult kids call "junk" ....on every move I've made.) Thanks for sharing and I am a huge fan of yours now. Wonderful Art!!!!

[@sandybabb8313]

Susan Ann Cherry Setter thank you so very much!

[@Wvnursey]

How inspirational! I collect the same things and have been trying to figure out what to do with my treasures. Thank you for showing us your creations!

[@guilherminacarvalho5598]

Your pieces are amazing and so what you do with them.

[@cindybecerra1965]

I just found your channel. I LOVE YOUR ART and all the items from nature that you use. Great inspiration

[@sandybabb8313]

[@shrineshrine389]

Oh thank you so much your art work and beautiful description warm my heart. So glad I found you take care!

[@sandybabb8313]

Welcome! I hope you find a little inspiration here!

[@gimimini7724]

those are very nice collections

[@CraftyHope]

Oh, gracious! You've inspired me so much! I'm a collector of all things found on the ground too. I often call myself a pick-up artist. Though, I have to admit that I haven't done near as much with my found objects as you have yours. That may change not that I've seen this amazing collection. I can't wait to watch more of your videos!

[@kellercrucita550]

Finally I found this great channel. Great ideas for a fantastic film!

[@CaterinaGiglio]

Great video! What a gorgeous stash of treasures.. And your flip through is yummy!

[@sandybabb8313]

Thank you Cat!

[@elinordrake7129]

That was really neat!! I'm from the South & I have to say, you just see a lot more old cool rusted stuff lying about on the ground there I think. :)

[@kristykohn1]

I love this. Can you please show a tutorial on how to make the luna wings? I have a huge collection and would love to see how you incase it and make the wiring to make a necklace. ❤️ TY

[@sandybabb8313]

I will try to get a tutorial up of the encased wings, thank you for asking, the necklace idea sounds lovely!

Sandee, you mention treating these items and then preserving them,do you have a video for those? I love your videos!

[@sandybabb8313]

Jackie, I do not have a video on that process but would be happy to film one very soon.

[@jackiepneal223]

Oh Sandy! That would be awesome if you were to make such a video! Thank you! I just found this video of yours last week and put it in my watch later list. Well, Friday and Saturday were rainy days so I started watching and re-watched,and re-watched at least 4 times!(each day) LOL I love listening to you and looking at all of your beautiful "found" treasures, many of which I have the same! Such an excellent video share- thank you! Your artwork is amazing and beautiful-it speaks to my soul with all of it's organic goodness! oh,and sorry for spelling your name wrong! ") I will look forward to your coming videos! Jackie ")

[@annetoivonen764]

Thank you. Very inspiring.

[@ladonnademarce5029]

Did you ever get around to making a video of how to preserve your found items? Love this video and interested in the wire edges butterfly wings. Thank you if you answer. I found a beautiful dead butterfly that I would love to keep and use in a junk journal.

[@chelseafrattura7742]

Fabulous collection! there is a lovely assemblage feeling associated even with just the way you organize your materials. Love it :)

[@bentonmaverick9897]

you prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot my password. I would love any assistance you can offer me

[@griffinapollo7717]

@Benton Maverick instablaster ;)

[@bentonmaverick9897]

@Griffin Apollo Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out atm. Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@bentonmaverick9897]

@Griffin Apollo It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much, you saved my account !

[@griffinapollo7717]

@Benton Maverick glad I could help xD

[@KMF3]

Like that tree

[@sallycouture9604]

Your creativity is amazing. What an inspiration you have. Do you teach any classes?

[@sandybabb8313]

Sally Couture I just started teaching online in the past year and have a couple of classes now on DVD through Artful Gathering, currently developing a new class, thank you for asking.

[@mexico53ify]

Fantastic! Glad I stumbled upon your channel today. Very inspiring!!! Do you seal your rusty bits so they are not a health hazard?

[@sandybabb8313]

Yes, I seal my rusty components with a matte medium to help with erosion and for safety. At times I have used resin too but prefer the matte medium as it is not so shiny.

[@cindybrewer2040]

I'm in Lumberton, NC.

[@KMF3]

It doesn't matter that the resin yellowed. Looks old. Also bubbles add interest.

[@robinr5337]

That yellow resin looks like amber to me.

[@veraejcheffers332]

FYI- Hi Sandy if you didn't know, about half to three quarters of the way through video the quality of filming was very blurred and out of focus....I was so disappointed I could barely see the books that you did on your nature walks near the lake and the last book about circles using found objects. Love your ideas.

[@sandybabb8313]

Very strange, it clear all the way through when I watch it. Could it be your internet connection?

[@veraejcheffers332]

Hi Sandy sorry it is fine now we had an electrical problem, then a power cut, in our town, then no internet connection so you were right. Video is fine. Awesome!

[@jaikucucu9277]

or just if I come back with something strange they tell me (a bit of a joke) o you went to throw the trash and you come back with someone else's trash hahahahahahahahahahahahaha that’s the best if you create Art. Hahah
