Interesting, a totally new way for me to think.

I have done collage, but I never considered cutting pieces to fit, and using different papers to represent the body parts, a really different way to think, I do like it, just not sure if I can do it, not out of the box yet!

Inspiring!

Jean Pederson always inspires me with her work! This video is no different. It is interesting to see how she develops the art work, step by step, with lots of lovely mixed media.

I have enjoyed workshops with Jean and this video expands on that and serves as a great review of concepts that are easily forgotten in the scrum of everyday life.
Thank you for producing this.
