In this video, I'm sharing four ideas for using your collage papers. If your stash is anything like mine you definitely need to start incorporating it into your creative projects. I suggest starting with one of the ideas as a jumping-off point as you never know where it might lead. Most of all I hope you have fun and enjoy the process!

Great use and potential reuse of the last bits of paint and paper. This is a perfect example of my grandmother's favorite adage, 'waste not, want not.'

Sounds exactly like what my grandmother would say, and probably my mother too! I do love to use up every last piece. Thanks for watching.

I'll do collages on card stock. The ones I'm not really crazy about, I'll turn into about 10 tags (no ribbon) & sell for gift tags/book marks at the gallery I'm at. I usually don't charge much for them as they would otherwise go in the trash, & at least I'm recouping a little more than cost for them.

@pamhemmerling Жыл бұрын

That is a great idea. I love that you have found a way to make back some of the cost of your supplies. And congrats on being in a gallery--that's huge!

Those cardstock pieces in the beginning are gorgeous in there own right! I like the cheap Dollar Tree or Five Below “water paper” (not really great for watercolor) but wonderful as a substrate. And be still my hears at the 4x4 gallery wall! Inspires me!

im happy to have discovered your videos, i think if you tightened up the editing just a little bit cutting out false starts to sentences and such they would be that much greater and easier to share with others

Yes, I used a spray varnish on the mini canvases when I was done.

@@artiste335 There are all types of varnish out there but I am not an expert as honestly I rarely varnish my paintings. I have used the Sennelier spray on soft pastels or anything that is water soluble so it doesn't rub off.

I would be very interested in how you store/organize your papers to find anything... I am all over the palace and can't figure out the best way to organize all the papers!😅

@pamhemmerling 7 ай бұрын

To be honest I just keep my papers in a big stack--not the most organized system. I have seen some artists organize their paper by color and keep it in clear folders or bags or bins.
