Don’t apologize this is your channel, Yes it’s good to get feedback but someone will probably always complain about something, Just teach and have some fun don’t worry about those silly things 💜 thank you for sharing your knowledge👍
Thanks for the recipe! A little advice my dear... don't give in to the trolls. Anytime you react to them, they've won. It's your channel, your content, just create and be the best you, you can be!
Bless you Janelle, you are under no obligation to do any of these videos for us but you spend your time and energy to help us and I appreciate it very much! I don't see anything wrong with ANYTHING you've done or used in your videos. God bless you!
I love how you made this journal. I worked in a the conservation department of a seminary library where I rebound and repair the books by hand. So I appreciate what you did here!
Hahahahaha you crack me up, when it comes you to you verbally replying to watchers comments. You go girl! Loving your DIY/ Home Made Mediums, thank you so very much for taking the time to make them and share with us :)I am in the same boat as you, Living Rurual Remote (Although other side of the world) with no decent shops anywhere near me and shipping costs has become way out of control and most of the time far out ways the cost of the products themselves :(.
Thanks for sharing my recipe for the clear gesso and linking my channel. I appreciate it. I came up with a DIY clear gesso because I needed some but wasnt willing to pay $15+ for the little bit i would use it so I started thinking about how we make regular gesso and add in the white paint and it got me thinking that if I omitted the white paint, would it be clear gesso? I thought, nah, it cant be that easy otherwise someone else would have done it... but apparently it was that easy and no one had done it (as far as on youtube or a search on the web is concerned). Its nice to know that for a lot of things we can usually figure out some sort of DIY to save us money. I enjoyed your video....and your art is amazing, youre very talented.
I was just so happy to see you again. Not concerned about contest even though it will be nice, I like your channel because you make things make sense. That's also why I love the frugal crafter too. She wants to help people be creative, just like you do. Not try to sell you everything in their esty shop just to be able to make a project, that I really don't like. Becky B
I say do what you choose, they can choose to not watch but instead they choose to be nasty and negative because they can hide behind a screen. Thank you for making these videos
I just found your channel!!! I’m in love now !! Love your DIYs ! How dare anyone criticize something they don’t even have to watch !! Keep up the good work ❤️😘
I LOVE DIY!!!!!!!!!! I MAKE EVERYTHING I CAN TO DO MY. ART IM LEARNING TO POUR PAINT AND MAKE GESSO. I do fabric landcsapes, and bowls. I even make my light tables.
Hello love. I just suscribed. You dont need to apologize. Just do your art as you do it. If no one approves there are lots of others channels they may want to look at. Im happy with your free spirit technique.
I like the idea of the clear gesso, but don't have the funds for buying marble dust or clear gesso from hobby lobby or Michael's or anywhere else at the moment. That is why I love diys, especially if I might already have the ingredients to make stuff. The other nitpicking ones can do what they want, but shouldn't be rude to others. We're not in kindergarten with the rich kids anymore. I think you are so sweet and downright funny. Take care. Becky B
Hi thanks for the recipe. I am new to this. I am from south africa. Not sure if we can get the calcium carb. Here . Is there an alternative to that, that we can use please. Thanks for the video
I have not done this myself, but have seen in videos that if you have a gel plate you can brayer your clear gesso or matte media, whatever, onto the gel plate then 'print' your water media treated page using the gel plate. It keeps your water color intact while sealing it since you are not spreading the gesso around. I know that it is more difficult to do that in a journal, but Dina Wakely has a gel plate that is 5.5"x 11" specifically to pick up and print right into her journals. I have 7x7 acrylic plates for my 6x6 gelli plate so that I can easily pick it up to print right onto the journal page also. I think even that would work reasonably to apply the clear gesso to a page even if you might have to print it several times to complete the full surface.
+Patricia Walker yes I have done that many times with pastels as well. I have many different sizes of gel plates & I have a video on how to make your one gel plates. This technique works very well.
Hi, could I replace the chalk with the corn starch in this recipe? I have seen this does not contain white paint, so I am looking for alternatives lol Thanks!
Hello Janelle, so nice to see you again. Was so happy for you getting your 10 thousand subscriber's goal. Congratulations again. This one caught my eye, because they are so very expensive. Hope you and yours are doing well. Take care and God bless. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
@JanelleNichol I had every single ingredients in my cupboards. Your videos are AWESOME and I am just thrilled to find your gesso recipes. THANK YOU SO MUCH! 🎨♥️ (ps I hope you blocked the trolls or set your settings so that you can approve or disapprove comments. Unhappy people LOVE to make others miserable. 🙄 I finally turned all comments off on my channel because there are so many miserable keyboard warriors on the internet. 💻 lol)
Good job...ignore the trolls...the internet trolls NOT the cute ones like Poppi and Branch😊...I crush 3 1/4 x 12packs of school chalk for my calcium carbonate...
Please don't mind unfriendly criticism; I've enjoyed your video with or without gloves. This is your personal prerogative! No body's business! It's safer though! Stay cool and stand your ground! Love from Ghada!
+Wildpaisley mod podge is very different from any gesso. Gesso is a primer, mod podge acts more like a sealer. Mod podge helps to resist paint, gesso helps to accept paint. They are two very different mediums.
Rofl...omg, only 4 minutes into the video and tears are streaming. I use the 1/4 cup in the kitchen when something calls for a cup...IF it also calls for a 1/4 cup somewhere along the line. Why keep a dozen tools dirty and cluttering your counter if you can use one for duplicate purposes. Sounds like some people need to get a life :)
Wow....you should ask for the negative people not to watch your videos if they are so "offended" !!! How sad and ridiculous! Haters will be haters...IGNORE them and do NOT even acknowledge them. Shame on them! You are great and helpful.
Lol there is just toooo many Karen's and Darren's out there , they would have a heart attack if they were to see me in action 😄 being an artist doesn't mean that you have to have the latest and greatest of everything. If it works and it gives you the results you want and makes you happy then use what you have. It's called improvisation , explore create
People get upset over the dumbest things. Gloves? Using your paint brush handle to stir stuff? Using a small measuring cup to measure instead of a larger? Geez.... Just ignore them.

Hi thanks for the recipe. I am new to this. I am from south africa. Not sure if we can get the calcium carb. Here . Is there an alternative to that, that we can use please. Thanks for the video
Another reason an artist? would want clear gesso is to prepare the canvas of a paint by number so you can still see the numbers!
I have not done this myself, but have seen in videos that if you have a gel plate you can brayer your clear gesso or matte media, whatever, onto the gel plate then 'print' your water media treated page using the gel plate. It keeps your water color intact while sealing it since you are not spreading the gesso around.

Thanks!
did you post a video about using old books for journaling?
Yes, It's a 2 part video. Here's Part 1. There should be a link to Part 2 at the end of it. th-cam.com/video/Kz8XrV6XsIY/w-d-xo.html
Can you use gesso on a canvas snd then paint with oils?
Hello Janelle, so nice to see you again. Was so happy for you getting your 10 thousand subscriber's goal. Congratulations again. This one caught my eye, because they are so very expensive. Hope you and yours are doing well. Take care and God bless.

What would be the difference of clear gesso vs mod podge?
+Wildpaisley mod podge is very different from any gesso. Gesso is a primer, mod podge acts more like a sealer. Mod podge helps to resist paint, gesso helps to accept paint. They are two very different mediums.
@@JanelleNichol Thank I appreciate your reply. Keep up the great work.
Where did you get your mat from?
I believe it’s from Jane Davenport.
I'm sorry to keep bothering you, but these gesso recipes can be used with any paint right? Acrylic, oil...?
I keep looking for the same answer! Did you find out?
You are so funny I just had to subscribe
Rofl...omg, only 4 minutes into the video and tears are streaming. I use the 1/4 cup in the kitchen when something calls for a cup...IF it also calls for a 1/4 cup somewhere along the line.

Oh I know!! We all have reasons for doing things the way we do them but some people really feel the need to tell others it’s the “wrong way”.
Wow....you should ask for the negative people not to watch your videos if they are so "offended" !!! How sad and ridiculous! Haters will be haters...IGNORE them and do NOT even acknowledge them. Shame on them! You are great and helpful.
4tablespoon of CC + 1 cup glue + 1/4 cup water
just because someone is offended, does not make them right. use whatever the hell YOU want to.
