Great job Peg! Love your focal point! Thank you for upscale my design with your art❤
I enjoyed working with the stencil you created….it has so many elements within the design! Thank you!
EXCELLENT! A beautiful collage. I like the concept of working with one stencil and a limited color palette, a great idea for the prompt this month. Myriam Wulf makes lovely stencils and is a very talented artist as well.
@artcuriousbymnw is super talented! I’m glad you liked my collage!! Thank you!
Miss Peg, it is GLORIOUS! I love that stencil, too! Especially for collage, there's so many different design ideas in it! Hugs and ❤
I agree - great stencil -- I enjoyed using it for sure! Glad you liked the outcome!
At first I wasn’t sure if the papers would look good together UNTIL you added the focal points. Then the subtle differences among the background papers really popped!
I’m happy you liked the end result!
This was an excellent project! I love the colors. That stencil is gorgeous too! This was a fabulous month. Can't wait to see what the June prompt will be. TFS. 🙏🥰. Have a fab week
I will likely do more stencils next month as I still have designers I haven’t utilized…..looking for new ways to use the stencils and I’m thinking rusty!!!!
Great collage. The colors are glorious. Thanks. 🙏
Thank you so much!
Wow this is phenomenal. Not a lot of gel press papers looks like art but this certainly does. Amazing! Thanks for sharing the process😊
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your comment!!!
Oh boy your gel prints were AWESOME ❣️❣️❣️. Love that stencil🩷. Gorgeous colors🦋🦋
Thank you! Happy you liked my color combo!
I’m loving the colors you’re using , my dining/room walls close to rust colors. My husband collects maps which cover the walls some has copper and teal colors. It compliments each other very nice.
That sounds beautiful! I love rusty things, including my husband😂
I am always interested in your process and loved seeing this collage come together. The focal point made all the difference. I’m always wanting to try something new and this inspired me. I adore this stencil by Myriam.
Thank you so much for the lovely comment; I’m just trying, learning and sharing as I go! Myriam does have a great stencil in Happy Stream!
😍😍😍 Great color combo. I can see the people but I saw you put it together! Nice job.
Thank you! 🤗true-my husband likes realistic art😂.
Brilliant video, I adore your approach to achieve painty papers. Very fun and unique. Very different from mine and so inspiring. You made me laugh when you said you weren’t patient. I’ve wanted to see the baby powder resist technique for a while. Fabulous.
Thank you!!! Patience is not one of my virtues for sure! Baby Powder worked great!!!
I liked seeing how you made the cool people. It's good to try new color combination. I wish the light bulb didn't show I the middle of the gel plate prints. TFS.
Thank you-I’ll have to take a look at that lighting; I honestly didn’t notice it-thank you for mentioning so I can improve!
Super out coming and a cool Look ❤👌💐🤎🦊🦊🤎
Thank you!!!
I love your compositions! I came here from your first collage with the leaf patterns, which I think was perfection! I'm curious as to why you don't let your paint dry between coats when gel printing. Your final image is splendid, so it's a me thing, not a you thing, but I would love if you could explain how/why you make that choice. Thanks!
Is it because you do not want the stencil impression to be too sharp and precise? I understand how well that works in the final image.
I think you’re right, it’s a me thing and while I think the perfection of a gel print is beautiful, I also like that grungy hint of an image. Additionally, I like to keep moving, so it is a patience thing as well. Great question!
@@TwoOldCrowsMixedMedia Whatever the case, and I looked at a number of your gel plate videos, your collages are beautiful and you should, of course, just do what you do. :0)
I’m new to the gel plate… is there ever a time where you let a layer dry before you add another layer of paint? I didn’t see a link to your amazon storefront, that would be super helpful😀
Yes, many do let the layers dry. I like to keep the paint thin and let it dry to the touch. The drying time depends on type of paint and climate so it does vary from user to user. The link for the storefront should be in the description but to make it easier here is a shortcut :-) www.amazon.com/shop/twooldcrowsmixedmedia
How do you mix your PVA glue and water? Do you find it holds better over time?
I have a plywood board that I covered in paint and paper and used my pva and water mixture-it’s been in the weather for 3 years and as I watered the plants on the porch this morning was thinking about refreshing it! But nothing is coming off; still holding in there.
I use 2/3 glue to 1/3 water; or just enough water to get it to the consistency I like!
@@TwoOldCrowsMixedMedia brilliant. I am going to use it. Thank you.
@@christyhartman I buy the gallon jug of Elmer’s at Walmart; about $14 US. It lasts about a year for me!
