  • In this video, I show two methods for creating textured backgrounds using old paper and ephemera. I also discuss my thought process for the reasons behind choosing certain materials. I hope it gets you thinking about your own art and the choices you make in creating.
    If you have any thoughts, questions, or comments I'd love to hear them. And if you enjoyed this video please like and subscribe. Thanks so much for watching.

    I keep my paper towels that I’ve done like you did and use them in my collages as well… great tutorial

    Thanks, Pam! I got some great ideas from both types of backgrounds. I like the idea of laying down a textural structure like that. It will help me use up more of the stuff I am constantly collecting LOL. Thrift stores, teacher discards, free boxes...how is a person supposed to resist??? 😂 Funny you mentioned text in other languages, I bought a few magazines at the thrift store a while back because the pictures grabbed me...didn't notice until I got home that they were all in German. 😂 This is the power of art for me...I am typically (in career and in life) so word/language-communication focused, so for me to choose something and not even notice the words is a pretty miraculous thing in my world. Art-communication is becoming a language my brain can converse in...love it!

    • @pamhemmerling
      @pamhemmerling  11 місяців тому

      Oh Lianne, it's good to hear I am not alone in gathering all manner of ephemera-type stuff to use in my art. I agree it is hard to resist and unfortunately, I can't use everything but it is nice to have a variety to choose from.
