I love the sound Your so good at this After watching videos after videos sence my husband passed yesterday I went to my Church and had a desire to teach classes at my church so I got my wish . Every first Thursday of the mounth So thanks to all you artists doing videos and encouraging me threw my grieving God bless you all I love you
Hi Shannon it's an old video but I just wanted to say that I found a video where someone did something similar (regarding the binding) You simple drill 2 wholes along the spine on the outside of the magazine and thread a shoe lace through and tie a bow. Because the magazine is now stable you can remove pages or glue 2 together. It's simple and it works. My magazine is really chunky now but it holds up. Hope this is helpful.
Well, Shannon, it turns out that your videos are just what the doctor ordered for this crisis of March 2020. I've started re-watching with this one and plan to go through a whole bunch of them. Thank you for being such a voice of calm, reason & humor. Of course you couldn't have planned it, but it turns out that your whole attitude is a perfect antidote to the fears and uncertainty we're currently facing. And yeah, I'm doing a lot more crafting with magazine pages these days!!
I've been watching your older videos since you are too busy with new endeavors to make videos. Your back catalog will keep anyone busy with great ideas. You have so many projects that non-artists can try. Best wishes to you and your loved ones for blessed Thanksgiving.
I tried this in a fabric arts magazine, I picked up at a thrift shop. I got inspired after watching DeDe. I need to go back to it.........my attention span wanders. You were the first Tube video I ever watched. I started art journaling because of you, and have followed you ever since !! Thanks, Shannon !!
Shannon! I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am to have found this! I have a huge collection of birds and blooms mags. And no room for big projects, so this is fantastic for me. Thank you so so much!😘💞👏🏻💙😀
Man oh man, am I glad you're back making videos! Thanks for the inspiration! And...you really are such a great teacher! Your instructions are clear and you explain things so anyone can do it! Thanks, Shannon! ❤️
The way you have done the dry brushing makes the pages look painted. I love the look of your reverse collage, I think you have found your stride. And, who would have thought a birds and bloom magazine, would have pictures of birds and flowers. LOL I love your work and the way you do your videos is wonderful. Cheers, Deb
Hey Shannon! I just saw your FB post about the magazine featuring you-reverse collage using Birds & Blooms magazine! Congratulations!!! I came right over to watch this video again, wish it would let me "like it" a second time! I am so happy for you and proud of you! The recognition is well deserved! You are the best! I'm going to re-watch the loose leaf binding video, I can't remember how to do that. I appreciate you so much, thank you for all the videos - inspiration - the laughs and entertainment, thanks for being YOU! big hugs xoxo
Absolutely beautiful, Shannon! I had never heard of reverse collaging before, watching how you did this has sparked my creative juices and I'm on the hunt for a great magazine to try it with. So inspiring! Thank you.
I am so glad I found your videos. I watched it a long time ago, and for the life of me could not remember that you did it and where the video was so I have been hunting for it and am so greatful. This journal is awesome. It looks like a cloth book, it is such a quiet book. Thank you for all you did to show us about how you went about it.
This is the prettiest mag I’ve ever seen sence I was born my name is hummer so I’ve been collecting humming birds all my life and had racks of this magazine but sadly thy all went to the dump when we moved here. . 😩😫 so Iv never bought another . I’m just sad my husband just passed away last year after a magical 40years. He Love them their magazine s and bought me every one of them their. He also made jewelry and made lots of hummingbird s. I need a little bit of humming birds I’ll get back in the grove soon But your mag is so gorgeous and I’ll have to look at all your videos it makes me happy and that’s just what I need Thank you so much for sharing this with me
This looks like a lot of fun, as is your wonderful, self-deprecating humour. I'm not sure I could tackle a whole magazine but individual pages, to cut and paste into a journal, would be great additions. Thank you, Shannon.
Awesome Shannon! I love this magazine. The images are always so gorgeous. I had a subscription so yes, went and pulled one and put on my table so I won't forget. Definitely my next project. I started one with different magazine and stopped because I wasn't inspired by the images. This magazine always inspires me and I can't believe I didn't even think of using it. Thank you, thank you for sharing this with us. Your reverse collage in these magazines are so beautiful!
Just found this video.....how awesome. I have a small collection of Bird and Bloom.....but I usually fussy cut the birds. Great idea. Also, it might be fun for the other book, just add something odd to the hands. That's what I do if all I have is a hand. Keep on crafting.
Love this idea! Fractured my wrist, but as soon as I can use my hand again I want to do this with my old Birds and Blooms. I hate to throw them away! Thanks for sharing this!
I love the reverse collaging play! I just turned the last Flow magazine into my latest junk/art/smash book journal and it has been fun; Thanks for sharing your creativity with us! ☺️
shanon, i love your videos! i am always inspired! Wether it's pulling pages from magazines or learning how to put a journal together! you are the bomb!!!!!!
What lovely bird "reverse collages!" One thing I like to do is to color copy (like at Staples or Kingkos) the images I love, so that the original stays intact. Or, you could even color copy your collages for other projects! Have a good week! Best wishes, Dianna
Thank you SO MUCH for making a video on this. I saw your pages on IG and headed straight for your UA-cam only to find--no video! I love this idea and what you've done with it. I have some old Smithsonian, Audubon, and Nature Conservancy magazines that should be great for this technique. Love your pages--they're gorgeous!
Fabulous! What a great technique, never heard of it before but one I can't wait to try. I love watching your videos, no matter how down I feel, you always cheer my up and put a smile on my face. I'm currently packing to move house so it will be an age before I can do any painting but this is going top of my list xx
I've been wanting to do some reverse collage but the added "collage" part left me hesitating & unsure, so thank you for sharing this method. This way could be a jumping off point for some people or just the alternative we needed. And I love my water soluble oil pastels & I don't see them used enough so that was an added bonus!! thanks so much, kelli
Shannon, this is a great idea, using a Birds and Blooms magazine for reverse collage. I buy these at the library for five for a dollar and plan to use them but it's hard to pick a side to use so I mainly stack them up. This technique would let me use both sides. We've recently got a new Ollie's near us which I am loving! I love the price of books there and craft supplies. I recently got a 24 pack of Mead oil pastels for S3.99 and this will be something good to try them in. Thanks for sharing, it's good to see you.
I have really enjoyed using your magazine paper paint/collage technique. There is just something satisfying about it and the papers are my favorite for bookmaking and collage! This is beautiful, I love it. Must put this technique on my list of to dos =) Had to share this to Friendly Junk Journal People =) It's a great way to use the book/decorated pages in a junk journal and add your own hand.
I love photographing flowers -- whether in my small container garden, while walking... This would be a great technique to use with them. Also, Photomania, and Photofunia are free (no registration needed) photo editing sites that you can alter your photos with. It would be another way to use and alter your images. Feel very inspired by you! Also like when you say you have a "fail" and you sound like you're ready to giggle! It's always good not to take oneself too seriously! Best wishes, Dianna
I use a lot of images from Birds and Blooms because I'm a subscriber. Now I think I'll just keep one together and try this meth I d. Thanks for sharing!
Shannon it has been awhile since I have stopped by. You are so much fun and talented I must come by more often cause you make me HAPPY. Lots of hugs Nola
Interesting. This beautiful. I have oil pastels but the box does not water soluble. Will it say on the box. You have a great sense of humor. Thanks for the tip about staples because inevitably is going to happen and I might get so frustrated that I might give up and throw it away. So pretty
Love it! I started a reverse collage mag about a year ago, but I was so new to art journaling let alone anything else that I just didn't get it! Lol. You've inspired me to give it another go and put a spin on it! Thanks Shannon😍😍😍 Happy arting!
I love your process, Shannon! I started doing this a few months ago, love it. Never thought of using oil pastels. I always enjoy your videos. Tfs, Fia xx
You are so artistic! And an awesome inspiration. Thank you for showing us the process you go through. I learned a lot. :) I was really hoping you would show us how you added those extra sheets to the backside of the pages. Maybe next time?
Hello Shannon I have missed you I am so glad I saw you on facebook, I am enjoying watching you so much. How time flys. Hope all is well with you and hubby. Take care Hugs Nola
This book is gorgeous! I love the combination of the reverse collage pages and the gelli-plated pages. I love the contrast in style and the coordination of colors. Dare I say this book compares well with Dede's mixed media books???
Brilliant & Do I Have a ton of Garden & Bird Magazines... I just need to get paint that is Not gone to a solid mass. Thanks Shannon those bird's really came to life once you blocked every thing else out.
I love the sound
Your so good at this

You were the first Tube video I ever watched. I started art journaling because of you, and have followed you ever since !! Thanks, Shannon !!
Oh my gosh, how cool is that?! Thank you Linda, I sure do appreciate you taking the time to watch and I'm thrilled that you caught the journaling bug!
Shannon! I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am to have found this! I have a huge collection of birds and blooms mags. And no room for big projects, so this is fantastic for me. Thank you so so much!😘💞👏🏻💙😀
Woo hoo, so glad it's useful for you!
Hi Dianne
Man oh man, am I glad you're back making videos! Thanks for the inspiration! And...you really are such a great teacher! Your instructions are clear and you explain things so anyone can do it! Thanks, Shannon! ❤️
Oh I really do appreciate you saying that Gayle, thank you!!

And, who would have thought a birds and bloom magazine, would have pictures of birds and flowers. LOL I love your work and the way you do your videos is wonderful. Cheers, Deb
Ha! Thanks Deb :)
I love it. It would be lovely to add a few poems about birds on the plainer pages.
Oh that's a great idea!

Yes, I have a couple of extra things to show next time. :)
Hello 👋
your magazine is beautiful Shannon i just love it and i have 1 that has been laying around a few years it was just to petty to pitch ...
Thanks for watching Barbara!
Do you have a video showing how to re-bind the magazine? I'm new to this technique...looks like so much fun, so glad you shared!!!
Thanks for watching! You can see how I did the binding here: ua-cam.com/video/CeSCHe6x_mM/v-deo.html
Hello Shannon I have missed you I am so glad I saw you on facebook, I am enjoying watching you so much. How time flys. Hope all is well with you and hubby. Take care Hugs Nola
Hi! Can't wait to try this. Do you have a video demonstrating the dry brushing technique or could you explain it please? Thank you!
All you do is put a little paint on your brush then wipe most off then gently paint with your ‘dry’ brush.
@@ShannonGreen thank you
I love this , & I just happen to have a subscription to this magazine. TFS :)
Thanks for watching!
🎉🎉👏👏 congrats
Thanks!
This book is gorgeous! I love the combination of the reverse collage pages and the gelli-plated pages. I love the contrast in style and the coordination of colors. Dare I say this book compares well with Dede's mixed media books???
Ohhhh that is so sweet of you to say, Diane, thank you!
Hello
Brilliant & Do I Have a ton of Garden & Bird Magazines... I just need to get paint that is Not gone to a solid mass. Thanks Shannon those bird's really came to life once you blocked every thing else out.
