I have watched many, many videos, read many, many books and played with paper for many, many hours, but your video taught me so much more in 10 minutes. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
This is a great tutorial. I think sometimes people get overwhelmed by the collage process, but you've shown that abstract collage can be a great entry point for beginners.
Dear Lydia, thank you for apology but there is no need for it. I have learned so much from you so I have so much to thank you for. I look forward to your future offerings. The use of a frame to help to construct a small collage is very inspiring. In the New Year I will have tome to start creating again. Carol UK
This was a great teaching video. Loved the small format for learning the process. Your work is so inspiring and I look forward to many more videos like this one. Thanks 😊
From someone who can spend hours fiddling with a composition to only decide collage isn’t my groove…this gave me a spark that I might overcome the lack of confidence! TFS!
Ooh, I like to use the small papers too, but I never thought to use a view finder. This will add more interest to what I've been doing. Also, never tried the monchromatic. Can't wait to try it out.
Thank you so much! Like others who have commented, I, too, have watched many videos, have worked with paper for years, and have tried to understand different types of collage. Two things you said really helped me relax: 1 you said there is no formula with collage just do what you like--then you demonstrated it! 2 you said using a view window is helpful to see what works together. Why didn't I think of that? I also like the work you did. Thank you again!
Lydia I chose to make my 4" Inch square 4 and 1/4" square so that 4" matboard can be used to frame the 4 and 1/4. Thank you for teaching this abstract class it is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for this type of video where you explain your thought process. It helps to remind me of the questions I need to ask myself as I work also. Thanks Lydia
Really glad u r doing this now when i have committed myself to the 365! Seriously some really good pointers mentally and practically here. The viewfinder thing is genius. Best R
Thank you for another great video with wonderful and practical advice Lydia! Collage can be overwhelming for a newbie like me, but I like the idea of starting small and going monochromatic!
thank you! sometime it could be overwhelming for me, too. Then I pick only a few papers and start with those instead of having all my stuff to choose from.
Wieder einmal mehr ein super tolles Video. Ich bin so oft überwältigt von all den schönen Papieren, die ich habe. Die Einschränkung auf eine monochrome Farbgestaltung ist eine Idee, die ich letzte Woche angefangen habe. Und ich muss zugeben, das macht richtig Spass. Danke für dieses Video. Lieber Gruss Conny
How come there is no "save" option? Is that your decision or UA-cam's? I would love to save this video to my "Collage" playlist, where I turn for inspiration and technical help.
I have watched many, many videos, read many, many books and played with paper for many, many hours, but your video taught me so much more in 10 minutes. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I agree - this makes so much sense and I can't wait to give it a go!
Vielen Dank für die Inspirationen! Nehme seit Mai an Collage-Kursen teil. Herzlichen Gruss von Maria, Marseille

Using people images in my collages has always been difficult for me but your techniques and process are very helpful. Thank you
Thank you, Lydia! This was perfect. The viewfinder idea is simple and brilliant.
Really great ideas/tips Lydia🙌🏼
Very nice! Is there a part two? I'd like to know how you glue the paper down and cut it out.
This is very helpful. Thank you for sharing.
This is a really excellent video! Thank you very much!
Lydia, I love all your videos, but this was especially helpful to me. Thank you so much!
Brilliant!

yes, a good starting point. Do you have a video lesson for working with a theme?
working with a specific topic is not really my thing. mostly i let myself be inspired by the material
Tolles Video, vielen Dank! Ich habe so viel gelernt.
danke! 🌺
Great video! Hit the mark! I’ve been feeling stuck in overwhelm of where to begin…these ideas have me feeling motivated!🙏🏻
wonderful! let‘s get started

What do you do with all of the small collages?
How come there is no "save" option? Is that your decision or UA-cam's? I would love to save this video to my "Collage" playlist, where I turn for inspiration and technical help.
I have no idea why you can‘t add this video to your playlist 🤷♀
😍😍😍
Cm of papers square?
6:25 - that's the one
Where did you buy the paper for your collage?
I don't buy this much paper for collage. I use scraps from other projects, newspaper, magazins. Or I make them by myself
4 x 4 inch = ... cm ?
What title this
¿No pueden traducir al castellano?
Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing!
