Great session Mia! Cheers! 🥰

Hi Mia! I am finally catching up on all the videos I have been missing in the last few weeks!! I really love your little collages! The gray scales have been interesting to see as well--they always give me new insights on how you are balancing the elements of the compositions. I especially liked #16 because the textures of the marks on the papers had an interesting harmony of their own that I didn't notice in the color version. Thanks for the inspiration! Cheers! 🥰😍

Impressive

These are great excercises for bigger things at least in my opinion. They are also nice in themselves!

Fascinating Mia! Your explanations are both helpful and inspiring. Genuinely enjoy watching you work. ♥♥♥

I htnk the music detracts from the video........... rather would have natural back ground sounds

Terrific! I’m just getting into collage so interested in your approach. Cutting, great design and gray scale! Thx

I found your video very interesting to watch. I was curious about the book you are painting in. Have you glued the pages together to make it thicker, or are you using single pages?

Looks like something I would enjoy. Thank you for making it look easy.

Mia I thoroughly enjoyed this video and watching you create. I randomly started something similar lately as I haven't had the time to properly paint. Out of frustration I sat down with my repurposed book and my stash of gel prints and random ephemera and just started cutting and pasting until the page was filled. There was such satisfaction that I thought, "what the heck... it fills time and is satisfying!" So I've continued. Now I must say I don't give it the thought that you do, but I will admit you are inspiring me to give it a bit more consideration in the future. I particularly admire how precise you are when crafting pieces towards completion. Well done. Thank you for sharing!!! ❤❤❤

Absolutely love this! I definitely, definitely need to use my bleeding art tissue. xxx💖💖💖

Só interesting.. thank you

I love the collage with the figures and the gray scale of the final collage. I am always jealous of your tiny scrap bin and the challenges you give yourself when you use them. Nice work!! 🥰

Using scraps cretes more scraps. The never-ending project! The one with L-shapes also has repeated circes, another unifying element.

Absolutely mesmerizing watching you create, anticipating every choice and move. All four were wonderful but my favourite was definitely the security envelopes with the bright contrasting paper - I think it was the horizontal composition. It was a reminder of how items you might discard become powerful artistic elements. Well done! ❤❤❤

I would love to see more of these please😊

LOVED watching you create such amazing pieces with the scraps! Totally inspirational. Seeing the B/W photos demonstrating the value changes was a bonus. Be well! ❤❤❤

I like the "found papers" aspect. I have "found papers" on my desk and elsewhere in the house.

coool vid!!

Thank you for sharing. I loved hearing your thought process as you were working.

Beautiful papers! Thanks for sharing.

i tried your technique--it works!

Lots of love from Arctic Norway 🥰🍀🌼🌸

WOW! I don't know how I managed to miss this video until now! The painted canvases were great, really whimsical and playful. I really liked the collage contrasts and the black and white images were quite beautiful! I don't think I could pick a favorite, I liked them all! Thanks! 🥰

Love the color combinations you used on all three canvases

Nice.

I use the lid to a glass jar candle as a baron.

Well done. Just a small correction. The first print is the intended print. Applying a second layer to dried paint left behind is a pick up prints. The ghost print us picking up what's left on the plate while it's still set from the intended print. (Without applying more paint. )

the second page reminded me of crazy patch in quilting

Nice video Mia! There is a lot of energy in the works you created and I especially like the three and four collages. I really admire how you are always challenging yourself in some way! Thanks as always and Cheers! 🥰

I enjoyed watching the different processes. No matter which way you go, it looks like something you could just have fun with & not take too seriously. That's what sketchbooks are for after all, right? Lol

Your papers are awesome!

Hi Mia! This is so great! I love how your palette seems to be influenced by the hues of the junk mail! I'll be looking at mine a bit differently now! Great fun and great work! Btw, have you seen the Brand 52 show?

Absolutely fabulous!❤

I love using junk mail as the foundation of collages. Sometimes then I paint, add another layer of different shapes with different positioning, then paint again...my favorite is security envelopes which also often appear in upper or top layers. Some of those prints are awesome. I like these collages. Isn't it good to do different things, to shake things up? Trying to challenge myself right now to use colors I really dislike, such as pastels...gotta catch up on some of your other videos from the past couple weeks. I've had a very (too) busy month and am looking forward to relaxing with your videos. ❤❤❤

You were fearless using the junk mail!! I have tried it but I don't like it. That could be that I haven't used it very often. Thanks for using the gray scale! It really helped to see the work without color and I agree with you that I liked the second one in gray scale better too. I wonder what might happen if you made a gray scale copy of it and then collaged over that with your papers? Maybe change the size too? Hmmm... Thanks for another great video! 🥰

I repost all my junk mail back in the post box

Thanks so much Mia! This has been a great series and I enjoyed seeing your work expand a bit. I remember a while back you were talking about balancing Dark, Medium, and light colors in your art. You used your phone to show what that would look like in gray scale. Since you use a lot of bright colors and patterns, it was really helpful to see that in order to get a better understanding about what you meant. Would you consider doing that more often? When I was a photographer, I used gray scale filters when I was processing color prints. It was really helpful when making adjustments in the darkroom (analog days!!) both for color and balance. Take care--🥰

OMG, Mia, I wish I was as organized as you. 🥰 Beatiful work. Thank you for sharing.

You’ve tried some very different compositions this week (❤27) and I’m looking forward to what you incorporate in ongoing work! Thanks for sharing your practice and explorations with us.

Thank you!😊

Thank you!😊

I really enjoy and am inspired by these collage videos. You are very generous.

Brilliant Mia! A true mixed media melange!!!!

Love the 6-22 collage. Interesting in a surprising way - those last 2 dark value pieces accomplished so much

I love the idea of tracing a shape on the back of the collage paper and then cutting it out. I can’t wait to try this.!

I love your encouragement to just do it with the challenge of working with what you quickly grab. It’s so easy to start overanalyzing in art.❤❤

You have so many great unique composition ideas ❤ I can’t wait to try them all!

I think I heard someone say that gloss medium makes the deli paper more transparent. I haven’t tried it yet.
