I’m an eclectic and colorful artist who loves creating simply for the joy of it. I decided to share my artwork on this channel to inspire others to get busy with their own art!
My wonderful mother encouraged me to paint, and I first picked up oil paints when I was just 13! I remember that my art instructor kept interfering with my work, unlike with anyone else. Looking back, I realize he must have seen my potential.
My mind is always buzzing with ideas, and sometimes it can be a little overwhelming! But creating art helps me focus those thoughts and express them in a fun way. I really do have a busy mind, and I can’t wait to share this journey with you. Let’s get busy in art together!” Bee busy in Art"

MixMedia Art was created in a collage by layering paint and stamping while using stash ephemera
Last-minute decision: I added a script stamp with permanent black ink.
Explore the beauty of #mixedmediaart by layering paints and stamped tissue, and using unique stash ephemera that I created in previous videos. Join me on this creative journey!
**Whimsical Nature Dancer**
In this piece, I've created a whimsical dancer adorned with flowers, plants, and butterflies. It serves as my final entry for the December 2024 junk journal project, #dephemerember Completing this journal has been a rewarding experience, and I’m thrilled with how this multi-layer collage turned out. Below is a detailed list of the products I used, along with some insights on their application:
- **Titanium White Paint (Opaque)** by Liquitex: This paint provided a solid base for the collage (available on my Amazon).
- **Folk Art Paint in Light Blue**: This added a refreshing hue to the design.
- **Seth Apter Izink Dye Sprays**:
- **Spring Green**
- **Emerald**
- **Coffee**
- **Sunflower**: These vibrant colors helped bring the piece to life (available on Seth’s website). @SethApter
- **Tim Holtz Collection Stencil (Vine Leaves)**: This stencil was instrumental in adding intricate details (available on stamperanoymous.com and my Amazon).
- **Distress Oxide for Stencil Stamping**:
- **Uncharted Mariner**
- **Mowed Lawn**: These oxides can smear or change when activated with gel medium, so careful application is key (available on my Amazon).
-**I used black permanent ink on tissue paper, utilizing Seth Apter's Eclectica Stamp Set (available on Seth Apter’s website).
- **Ranger Embossing Powders**:
- **Pink**
- **Gold**
- **Frosted Crystal**
- **Speckled Egg**
- **Peeled Paint**: Embossing all the pieces added a beautiful finish to the collage (available on my Amazon).
I outlined the collage items using an Intense Black Pencil, which is water-based and perfect for detail work (available on my Amazon). This entire process allowed me to explore various techniques and materials. I hope this inspires others to experiment with their own creative projects!

Hey everyone! I first heard about Kooky paper from @BonnyAndClive and @pennyrosejournals, and I'm super excited to share my first attempt at making it. I made a few mistakes along the way, but I think it'll be fun to show you what I learned! If you ever need to fix a piece of Kooky paper, you'll know just what to do. I absolutely love how it feels and looks! Once it dries, it has this cool crun...

Beautiful work!!!
@@fashionably50something thank you. I love to layer in collage.
Hey Vicky, This is interesting.
This fun project is inspired by Australia, and there are so many ways to get creative with it! I just made some KooKy napkin paper and even filmed a short video about it-I just need to polish up the editing now. I'm excited to make another scrape batch since my first one is almost gone! To create this delightful paper, start by mixing 1 part Elmer's glue with 1 part water on a silicone mat. Spread the glue mixture out, then add your scraps all around. Give them a good glue coating, and then cover everything with tissue paper, a white napkin, or even some sewing pattern paper. Top it off with another layer of glue! Let it dry for about 16 to 24 hours, and you'll have some beautiful, fun paper to use! Enjoy crafting! Thank you
@@retroqueenbeeart Thank you for the explanation.
Oops: To store glue for later use, mix it in a container with a lid. Then, paint the glue onto the silicone mat.
@@retroqueenbeeart, Thank you.
Hey Vicki, I love these. A friend recently sent me some napkins so I could try this. I also love your choice of music for your video.
@@helencantimagine Thank you. I just filmed a way to make Kooky napkin paper. I let it dry overnight. It is fun to use in jjournals as collage.
@@retroqueenbeeart I will take a look at that video. I haven't attempted a journal yet. I'm thinking I'll start out with a no sew journal.
Never heard of Kooky Paper or seen it ❤I’m trying to follow on kooky paper a little confused 🤔 I have never seen anything like this . When you stacking paper on top of each other is that to make it more stable? When you say collage nice we have a collage open Collaboration you should join ❤ called #comecollagewithus I love what you doing cause I love lots of color . we love 💗 our dogs ❤I’ve been watching whole video and I’m still a little confused 🤔 I hope it all works out for you I love the paper ❤have a Bless weekend ❤👍🌹❤️ 18:20

I'm excited to make another scrape batch since my first one is almost gone! To create this delightful paper, start by mixing 1 part Elmer's glue with 1 part water in a jar ( slightly runny) and then paint the glue on a silicone mat by spreading the glue mixture, then add your scraps in the glue. Give the scrapes a good glue coating, and then cover everything with tissue paper, a white napkin, or even some sewing pattern paper. Top it off with another layer of glue! You can sandwich the scraps between tissue paper, white napkin paper, or sewing pattern paper in the way I did. Let it dry for about 16 to 24 hours, and you'll have some beautiful, fun paper to use! Enjoy crafting! Thank you
I plan to start the 100-day project, and then in March, I plan to do the prompts of Ceri Griffiths. Because I plan to do lots of gel-printing in March. Maybe after that?
Good morning ❤
Good morning to you too! Happy crafting.
Oh your flowers are beautiful ❤both pages are beautiful ❤ we love our dogs ❤You did a great job .. I’m newbie I just ran rang your bell 🛎️ and that for coming bye my channel I’m going to watch a few more videos have a Bless weekend ❤❤👍🌹❤️ 2:20

Hi Good morning ❤
Good morning to you too! 💖
Great Live Thank you enjoyed your channel
Thank you! It was a pleasure to share my journal with you for ideas.
Your adorable. I enjoyed watching your video. You have a very calming voice and great ideas.
Thank you, I'm glad you found the video calming.
As always you have created something interesting Vicky. I really like this grunged up book page idea for layering on a project. Thanks so much for sharing 🙂
Thank you! I love finding new ways to use old things.
What an interesting idea Vicky. You always have something cool going on 😁
@@pennyrosejournals i have been busy, i made another batch of cornstarch paste. Thank you
Lucy, let me know how it goes. I am thinking about trying it on mixed medium paper. My email is vicky.retroqueenbee@protonmail.com. Tell me in the subject who you are. Then I will not miss the email. ❤
I will ❤
You do amazing work.
@@LeAndraKayArt thankyou. Also you. Glad your back doing some videos.
Nice, Interesting textures ❤ I will give it a try 👍
Please do!
You've truly earned my admiration-bravo!
Thank you. Love colors in art.
I really love the flowers 🌺 ❤
Thank you ❤one is watercolor on old book page and the pink flower is cutting old book pages in a shape then layering them❤
Wow 🤩 Your art pages are awesome❣️❣️
Thank you ❤
Wonderful December journal Vicki 🤗 Happy crafty 2025❣️❣️
Thank you, and I wish you the same, Kristina. Happy crafty 2025.
The kooky paper was originally a little experiment I did 3 or 4 years ago just to use up tiny paper scraps and those thin strips leftover when trimming papers. I used a silicon mat to gkue the papers down. Here's the original video if you want to take a peek th-cam.com/video/JdZkEmsfwQ8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=iC5DyKNga3qGQ167 Kirsten watched my video then made some and got addicted lol. She has since made lots of different and creative versions and is now the Queen of kooky paper! lol. I love her experiments and seeing how she uses it. Glad you made some too. It's fun experimenting and seeing how it turns out 😄💚💚
Beautiful ❤️
Art By Marlene has wonderful stencil techniques. Thank you
These are lovely Vicky! So bright and cheerful. They'd go lovely in a boho journal! 🙂💚💚
I just saw your comment. Late response is better than nothing. Thank you ! yes they would look good in a boho journal.
@retroqueenbeeart 🥰🥰
I really like it ❤ the colours are so vibrant 😀
Thank you! I love color in my art. Thank you!
Bright, textured, practical and full of personality. Nice work!
I'm happy you like them! I love adding my own personality to my projects.
This is beautiful, Vicky!😊❤
Hi Susan, Thank you. I have been so busy doing two challenges and doing Christmas parties I feel weeeeeee. I do not have much time left over to watch my fav creators- like you.
@ I totally understand. 😊❤️
Looks like you had lots of painty fun there Vicky! 🥰
I always get lost in the moment when I'm painting!😂
I love your envelopes Vicky, really bright, cheerful and eclectic. Just lovely, just you. 😄
@@pennyrosejournals thank you for kind words. The words made my day!
Its so crazy how the scraps continue to grow. Imagine the pile we would be buried under if we didn't have these collage books 😂
@@pennyrosejournals Haha! They grow like grass, before you know it the grass needs moving.
@ good comparison 😝
I am Grateful for all who support my videos. Thank you
These are very cool Vicky. Amazing how quickly the time passes when you are focussed on something you are enjoying isn't it?
I somehow lost your comment and it shows up under community now, instead of comments. I was fooling around and just discovered it. Thank you for your comment. I enjoy all of them. Your words give me encouragement.
I hope all who watch enjoy their own scrapes and their glue book. I talk to myself and answer myself-haha that means I am in to it. HaHa
I Love these ❤ printing in white and then over painting the colour works amazingly 🤩
@@LucysArtandCraft thank you. The leaves have wonderful texture and cloring. I was amazed myself. I just put the instructions on my community page. I think you can print with the fallen leaves from outside now.
Love that envelope tag. Very clever
Thank you. I plan to make some more. I will make a video then. sometimes I forget to put the camera on. I need to pay attention to ensure I am videoing. I get busy doing and I am not sure how I create something until I start. videoing me creating is new this year on Utube.
I love your clusters Vicky. You really have an eye for colour. Very inspirational!
Thank you! Each of us is a unique masterpiece, gifted with special talents. I truly love sharing my passion for art and inspiring others to explore their creativity.
I really like your collage band Vicky, the 'sticker' flowers really look cute on there.
THANK YOU.
I love this so much Vicky. 100% my kind of thing. ♥
I ENJOY WEAVING. THANK YOU.
Lovely ❤

Aww is your puppys name Bonny? I couldn't catch if you were saying Bonny or Barney lol. 😄💚
Bonny is my golden pup's name. yep, I think of you sometimes when I say her name. sending good vibes out in the universe for you. Blessings.

@@BonnyAndClive maybe cute compared to a dog but not you. You are a beautiful human being that has reason. Love your voice and teaching skills.
These are great Vicky! I love the look of corrugated cardboard in journals. Oh my gosh I have lots of those leftover flower cut outs from making so many flowers; I need to get to using them! lol. 😄💚🌼🌼
yes, the flower cut outs need a home LOL. Thank you.
Thank you. This was very interesting!

That’s lovely 😊 I loved that collage band ❤
