    I enjoyed your collage glue-book, but have a suggestion, if you don’t mind? Whatever you are using for glue is leaving a lot of lumps and bumps-which take attention off of the images and all of your cutting, too. Perhaps look into using adhesive which leaves a nice, smooth surface, so we can better see, and appreciate, your collages!

    Thanks for your comment. I don’t have proper videoing equipment, lights etc. I think it is light on shiny papers showing up bumps. They don’t seem obvious normally.

  • @pruenzo
    @pruenzo10 ай бұрын

    Hi. Each weekend I harvest magazines and during the week I put bits and pieces together into collages. I try to work quickly and not over think the process. So my monthly journals don’t have a theme although I find that I do try to work to the season we’re in down here in New Zealand. When I’m travelling I keep a travel journal which I write in a lot and it’s way more personal. Thanks for dropping in.

  • @creativebeanart
    @creativebeanart10 ай бұрын

    Interesting process.....I would find this far too complicated. I've got my magazine images into focal points (large and small), colour/texture pages and then my own handmade collages by colour. But then I don't have a lot of papers, and I'm trying to deliberately keep in that way, as too many supplies are overwhelming. I look forward to watching some of your other videos.

  • @pruenzo
    @pruenzo10 ай бұрын

    You’re right; it is complicated. But it is tailor made to the different ways I collage. When I’m doing detailed collaging in colouring books, I need to find specific shades, textures and patterns of colours. We each have to find what suits our own needs best. Soon I’m going to have a major clear out!

    Actually I set up small Facebook group called Colouring the Whole Book and we encourage each other to complete books. Often it’s your least favourite pages that turn out to be the most rewarding. That’s the reason that I colour the book in page order so it also feels like I’m achieving something. These days I’m working more in collaging, sometimes in colouring books too. Thanks for popping in.

    In this book I started by using pencils but I couldn’t get the colour intensity that I wanted so I switched to mostly collage. Yes, I took the book apart so that the collaged pages could be protected by the plastic pockets. Daria’s drawings are amazing - wonderful perspective, but this book was a huge challenge.

I did ask Colin what books they came from but he couldn't remember. And said there was not enough for a second colouring book. I think he is selling himself short. There is so much in his books that could have made this a 100+ page book. Easily.

The way you've incorporated special meaningful imagery in the first one (The Faraway Tree was a special book for me growing up, too). And your travel journal is cool and it is truly humbling that I had a part in inspiring you. 😊 Lots of great places in it to put the memorabilia from your journey. 🥰

    It’s a semi rural area with sheep across the road from us and cows next door. There are several horse studs around this area as it’s a centre for thoroughbred racehorse breeding. We’re inland but close to one of the biggest rivers in NZ. Such a change for me as I’ve always lived near the sea. I might string some photos together into a video for you.
