    Thank you for your excellent video. I really love the idea of creating a background book and will be having a sort though of my larger pieces tomorrow.

    I love your work! I just watched your 10 things I wish I knew video and it was so helpful! I didn't realize how the fear of creating something ugly was holding me back, not just with collage art. I subscribed to the channel and your newsletter and I'm going to sign up for the class. Thank you! You are a gifted teacher🥰

    That was the best collage video I have ever watched. You are a great teacher. Your explanations are clear and I loved hearing your thought processes as you worked through the pieces.

      I couldn't agree more with beccyhaugen's comment. I'd just like to add that limiting yourself to a couple of pieces to add to the starting piece, is most helpful. Moving on from an existing base, is easier than starting the base.
      So thank you very much for sharing this video and please continue. It's very relaxing watching you ! ❤

    Margarete, this really was pretty eye opening for me! I liked the ways in which you approached these layouts. Especially the "pick your focal piece first, and then work around that". Just like in decorating, yet I hadn't thought of collage in this way. This was very helpful. Thank you!

    Our neighbour is a world renowned philatelist . When I saw him throwing torn stamp Mags away I asked if I may have them.
    Spent hours cutting out stamps and copies of vintage envelopes from the 2 nd world war time and beyond. He is Dutch and I live in south Africa .🤗

    I usually start with the background and add a focal piece but for the deconstructed traveling journal I’m working on now i started with the items that fit the theme and filled in the background. One of the things i love about your collage is the simplicity and yet completeness of your work. Sometimes i manage to attain that simplicity, but i love your video and your work. Thank you
