I love this video!

[aileenlearah]

I like her and she IS an artist. If you say she is not then you are obviously NOT an artist yourself...

[aarondkeogh]

shes an amazing woman

[AbstractAttraction]

I do not believe that those negative comments are justifiable at all. This is something new and amazing and creative. I am a poet rather than an artist, but the way I see her form of art is comparable to a found poem. She is taking pieces of things and arranging them in a way that means something more, something personal. Its like recycling ideas and giving them new life and I think it is wonderful. I loved this video so much. It inspired me so much.

spoken like a true artist. exploring the concept of 'what if'

Chanel, you had a dream as a young adolescent, stayed focused, and kept putting one foot in front of the other to achieve your remarkable success. You can be so proud of yourself.

Obviously they are worth money to someone, as she sells stuff on etsy.

Everyone has a different opinion of what is unique and valuable and putting someone else's work down calling it worthless is not helpful at all. You have a right to your own opinion but the people on etsy work a long time and put a lot of effort into this stuff, it's very hurtful when you say stuff like that. The great thing about art is that not everyone has to understand it, but the people who do find it very meaningful.
