Welcome back Rosie! You have been missed. You only need to post when the spirit moves you! Just know that you have a bunch of fans that adore watching you! Take care of yourself and thank you!
I think artists need re-charging time a couple of times a year so I'm glad you took that time. There's nothing worse than losing joy in creating. Share when you feel like it! Love to see what you come up with next!
You give so much joy to your viewers that it only makes sense for you to take time for yourself to recharge your battery. I am so glad you are back, but please follow your instincts and post whenever the spirit moves you.
I was worried when I didn't see any new video, but I am relieved to hear that he seems to be doing well. Please keep up the good work at your pace. I'll be rooting for you.
Missed your imagination, but so glad you got to take time off. I believe we will all be here for you no matter how long you take off. Love what you created
How nice to see you! Creativity on a schedule works for some people, and not so much for others, and that's totally okay. It's way more important to take care of yourself than to produce at a pace that might suck the joy right out. I love and appreciate your channel, your art, and your personality, and I look forward to each new presentation. Wishing you all the best!
Welcome Back, I've missed you.... and Was starting to worry... but I'm happy to hear you're doing ok. 😊 Love your gallery wall. 😊👍 Fun stories during the creation process. 🙃 Good Collages. 😊👍
The symbolism is not lost on me on how the 50's lady is being consumed by the housework appliances and of course it’s a man driving the torture! 😂. And the bathtub is a lovely retreat for her.
I'm glad you're taking care of yourself! I luckily survived a terrible fight with covid two years ago and didn't really do much art at all for almost a year. I just didn't have it in me. When I finally started doing art again someone suggested that it might mean that I maybe I was on the mend. So I understand needing to pace yourself.
I love them!! I've been enjoying this book too. Last year I did a funny collage on the water/mountain scene that u almost used for the butterflies. I put a giant David Bowie head coming from the water and 2 killer whales jumping over his head into the water, an owl flying over with a beach ball and I used an image from the book of 2 frightened ppl in a small boat that was on the shoreline. ..also found a huge hand giving the thumbs up that came out f the water in front of Bowie (it was perfect) ... pretty funny. I just love your work..I'm glad to see u back and also happy you took a lil time for u! TFS!
Great seeing you again and that you are feeling better again. Creativity and feelings go hand in hand so good that you follow your feeling. I have an alert for every new video from you so it will be a present when I see a new one! All is good.
'Slump' has a negative connotation, when what we crafters are really doing is 'recharging'. It takes as long as it takes - a week or several years. The mountains are calling and you must go.
Yes we all need to recharge, I've been doing something similar myself... Our creativity can wander off from time to time and there is nothing wrong with that, making videos is time consuming and if you are holding down a full time job as well it can get very overwhelming and we just need to stop and unwind.... So glad you are feeling better and what fun collages you've created from this wonderful book... I have it too 😉😉 and your challenge is a fab one... If I feel like doing this sometime in the future I will definitely tag you to let you know. Its lovely to see you back whenever you are ready to create... Take care of you now... hugs Elaine xx
I was so happy to see that you posted! I totally understand you needing a break. We can’t force ourselves to be creative some times we just need to take a step back for a minute. I do worry when someone stops posting regularly, so I was happy to hear that nothing was wrong. Welcome back!!
You are such an inspiration! Great idea to only post when you feel like it. When you're supercharged, you could always film several videos at once and release them later. :o)
Good to see you! Love both collages! YES - listen to your gut, your heart … creativity doesn’t happen on a set schedule. Continued happiness and joyful creating! Kathleen
Thank you Rosie for your honesty. Your videos have been so inspiring to me and I thank you for all you’re doing. Your work is so fun and creative. I look forward to your next video and know that respecting yourself and your time and listening to what you need only makes the creative work better. Thank you!!
Hi Rosie... I myself was out of town without internet service for a while due to a family health emergency, so I missed you in a different way. Was delighted when I saw your video come up today now that I am able to enJOY my present moments in a refreshing way. After listening I wanted to respond and encourage you to 'let your inner artist out' as your life unfolds before 'you'. In the doing I am sure your cup will overflow and we will drink of that which comes our way at 'our' appointed time 'whenever' your videos come across our paths... I am been inspired by your 'gift' and since it is a 'gift' I receive it as such... not something I expected, (nor are you obligated), but as something which influences me and inspires me to let my own 'inner' artist out when I am 'moved' by the 'gift' of creativity I too have discovered in my elder years. I have learned 'in the doing' the art often creates itself as I go with the creative flow that rises up from within. I am surprised and delighted by what comes forth at its own appointed time from within. Be at peace... you owe us nothing and I myself have no 'expectations', that you 'should, ought to, or are supposed to' create for the sake of others, me in particular *wink *wink as none of us can control our day to day circumstances nor force our talents without damaging them or ourselves to some degree. To have such an attachment to outcomes in our day to day life (or lives of those about us), robs us both of the true joy our gift was intended to bring forth. May you enJOY your gift and rest in the knowing many of us are drinking from the overflow at our own appointed time... (((hugs))) Even so I appreciate and respect your desire to follow through with the goal you set for yourself, not just for your sake but to be a blessing to others as you share of yourself during these precious moments during my own journey in time....
Rosie, so glad that you are doing well. It was great to see you back with a couple of awesome collages. It is sad but understandable that we may not be seeing you as often, but it will be a great treat when you do put out another video. Take care.
bonjour Rosie, je suis contente de vous revoir ,l'inspiration ça va ça vient ,je suis moi-même en stand by .Je trouve que votre premier collage est une métaphore de la vie d'une femme : remplir le frigo ,cuisiner, faire le ménage ... Elle craque .Gros bisous de France
Fridge Man turned out nicely. The Butterfly Tub is amazing with the butterflies stark against the white. I like them. When we were little, my brother and I were up north for our family’s annual 2-week vacation on our aunt and uncle’s little farm. For some reason, there was a ceramic deep sink on the floor of the cow barn. My brother and I found every frog we could, and put them into the sink. After lunch, we came back to the barn to see every frog hopping everywhere except in the sink. They escaped! It was a cow pie/frog extravaganza.
I love watching your process Rosie, it is always a pleasure to watch. As I am watching I am thinking along with you. That fruit page I loved and saw Fruit Man had fruit in his fridge and imagined him as a benevolent superhero throwing fruit down to people… so loved the twist when you made him a baddie instead attacking a women with household utensils, and thought that a woman of this era probably felt at times like that she was! I listen to a great English podcast called Art Juice. Two artists who talk about all things art and life as artists/creatives podcasters and that need for a break. I agree with you, I don’t think you need to push yourself either, it should be enjoyable for you. Enjoy your summer, I am in Australia and it is winter here!
You are my favourite collage artist and have been so inspired by you and have taken up collage and definitely gone down that rabbit hole...but in a good way. Glad to see you back and can't wait for your next video! Thank you for all you do!
Hi Rosie! I was so excited to see a new video from you today! I've been subscribed to your channel for several months now. Discovering your UA-cam channel inspired me to get back into collage art after taking a long break from doing anything creative. I've learned a lot of new techniques from you. Also, I have made up my mind to get the cut out and collage book you used in this video. I almost asked for it for Christmas last year, now I wish I had. I'm looking forward to seeing what other collages you make with it.
I missed you! I kept looking every week for my collage fix! I was worried! Glad you’re alright and back on form. Wonderful collages today. I love your ideas and artwork.
OMG YAYYYYY!!!! Your back, so glad! I’ve missed your videos! I bought this book! I’ve been cutting out images! Love love these collage! Yes please take time for you! Hugs
Happy to see you back and look forward to your next video when it's right for you. ❤️ I love that you explain your thought process and had a hearty laugh about fridge man becoming a villain. 😂 I have this book too and have done mixed media with the images however I'm inspired to try something like what you have done. Look after yourself and enjoy the summer ☺️
Yay! You are back! I just found you and I’ve been so enjoying your videos. I started collaging as a creative outlet while I’m going through therapy. Your work is giving me great inspiration. I look forward to anything you produce from here on forward.
Rosie! I was thinking about you yesterday and wondering how you were doing. So glad you're back! But, super happy for you that you took a needed break to rest and recharge ;) It's always so much fun to see what interesting things you create. You inspire me to think out of my comfort zone. Take care and have a great weekend!
I just commented again on your last video yesterday because I was very worried about you. I'm so glad you just took a break. In this day and age my imagination went in all crazy directions. Always love your silly ideas
I admit I let out a little squeal when I saw a new video from you. Glad you are well, take all the time you need. By the way, I still think Fridgeman is good and is saving our damsel from the evil vacuum and blender. ;)
Love your collages today! I am glad you took some time to rest and be kind to.your mind. It is super good to see you back though😀. I am just happy you are okay.
So happy to see a video. I took most of July off too. You aren't a cable network, and even they don't put out episodes all year long. Far from it. (So many reruns.) We will wait for content!
Missed your smiling face but certainty understand your decision to go with the flow..I go through the same thing myself. I will be standing by for next challenge.. I have Things to cut out and collage book And I really like it too Catch you later
I really miss yours videos but Is perfect what you said about the times of posting one.....take the time that you need It, greetings from argentina 🇦🇷😍 i am bit fan of your amazing collages 😍💜✂️📏
What is the trick to cutting such tiny pieces (insect legs) without ripping? I’m struggling with fussy cuts… and you make it look so easy and beautiful
Wondering if you take commissions? I have a bunch of “I Spy” books from my son’s childhood. I realize there a copyright laws, etc. My thought was a one-book challenge so only one book is used and the rest can be saved. I can’t cut paper myself because I one handed.
New to you channel and love it so much! Our channel content is Thrifting for resale and we are looking to add another fun element to using old ephemera, so super excited to find you!😊🎉
Welcome back Rosie! You have been missed. You only need to post when the spirit moves you! Just know that you have a bunch of fans that adore watching you! Take care of yourself and thank you!
It is sooo Freudian . A woman in a dry desert of threatening phallus shaped cacti being attacked by kitchen appliances! LOL
The lady is running away from "housewifery" and refrigerator man and the evil appliances are trying to rope her back home LOL
I think artists need re-charging time a couple of times a year so I'm glad you took that time. There's nothing worse than losing joy in creating. Share when you feel like it! Love to see what you come up with next!
Your channel should be part of your joie de vivre. Arranging it to be so is highly positive.
I love your commentary, your sense of humor, and your imagination. So happy you are doing what is right for you!
P.S. I completely agree about posting whenever is convenient and when inspiration springs forth. You rock Rosie🤘🗿
So glad you are backing and you seem rested and rejuvenated. Bravo for taking care of you!
You give so much joy to your viewers that it only makes sense for you to take time for yourself to recharge your battery. I am so glad you are back, but please follow your instincts and post whenever the spirit moves you.
Take your time! Your work and sensibility is an inspiration for your followers!
Rosie I love your sense of humor and imagination! Missed you gf. Post whenever you want, we will be here for you. TYFS Cindy
I was worried when I didn't see any new video, but I am relieved to hear that he seems to be doing well. Please keep up the good work at your pace. I'll be rooting for you.
Love the idea of a one source challenge! Particularly like the bath tube piece. Something about the brown really grounds the piece.
So love your art! You are the Bob Ross of collage! Enjoy your summer and enjoying the outdoors!
Missed your imagination, but so glad you got to take time off. I believe we will all be here for you no matter how long you take off. Love what you created

Fun stories during the creation process. 🙃
Good Collages. 😊👍
I love this collage. Your collage are so much fun. Take as much of a break as you need, but please always come back.
The symbolism is not lost on me on how the 50's lady is being consumed by the housework appliances and of course it’s a man driving the torture! 😂. And the bathtub is a lovely retreat for her.

Exactly! Been trying to get better at going with the flow :)

What is the trick to cutting such tiny pieces (insect legs) without ripping? I’m struggling with fussy cuts… and you make it look so easy and beautiful
Please do a video about all the collages you've done in 2022.
I love the bathtub collage. But it is totally bothering me that the back legs are missing.
Omg your back!!!!
I'M BACK
Wondering if you take commissions? I have a bunch of “I Spy” books from my son’s childhood. I realize there a copyright laws, etc. My thought was a one-book challenge so only one book is used and the rest can be saved. I can’t cut paper myself because I one handed.
New to you channel and love it so much! Our channel content is Thrifting for resale and we are looking to add another fun element to using old ephemera, so super excited to find you!😊🎉
Think the lady should have been doing the limbo!
🤩🤩🤩
You were missed.
I had faith you’d be back! Thursdays (or perhaps now Fridays) weren’t the same. 🥲
Haha I tried to make Thursday, but Friday was close enough! :)
Thanks!
