I had planned to put all my art supplies a way for a while because my creativity was stuck. Now that I've seen your video and the beautiful outcome, perhaps I will let your work inspire me.
I didn't put them a way, in fact I made my first piece today.......all done but a bit of tweeking. Wish I knew how to upload pictures. Thanks for the video as this takes me in a different direction.
So excited about this - I have lots of beautiful napkins/tissue but never thought to create a scene such as yours. I can't wait to get started, and I'll be sure to have this video handy for reference. Thank you.
I love getting ideas for working with napkins as I have a habit of picking up packages of napkins and putting them away thinking what am I going to do with them and I thank you for new ideas to try....
That was awesome Ina, I thoroughly enjoyed watching that process. And it's gorgeous, both are. I will definitely be doing this myself...just beautiful! Again, tfs.
Thank you so very much Savvas. Glad you like these collages and i had to smile at your mention of the lace....I too had second thoughts on it and removed them and just gave them a black painted border...much better. : )
Sure..that would be fun....send me your address in the UTube message section. (you find it when you go to my homepage and click "about") I shall answer your message with my address.
This was a joy to watch (0.5 speed) especially after about half way when you were enhancing the images giving them vibrancy and impact - yet still maintaining their subtlety.
I just watched a video of Crafting Vickie's of the Happy Mail you sent. It was an older video. I came to check you out and I was well worth it. Beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome and thank you so much Jean. I hope you will find many more projects here that you will enjoy.I appreciate you taking time to watch and comment. : )
Mixed media is something I have been wanting to do, but didn't know how to start. Am taking a class at the Stamp and Scrapbook Expo in Orlando at the end of the month. Maybe I will be an expert when I am done. LOL
muy hermoss tus trabajos te felicito los miro siempre ya q me dio por pintar y me dice Circe de terapia me entretiene mucho gracias saludos cordiales namaste
I love this one also! I am glad you did your improvements. I wasn't so thrilled with the 2nd bird cage either. Another great one! OOPS I said that already but it truly is! TFS!!
I love love love this tutorial 👌🏽✨✨✨✨✨ I found enhancing with my ( I used cheapie pens not sharpie pens ) felt tip pens: when I varnished the colors started to run 😭 what am I do wrong ? To varnish or not varnish 🤔 .
Sorry for responding late,I missed this one some how. Utube just added a new function,showing unanswered comments. I thought I was diligent to answer all,but I missed a few. Glad you enjoyed this and to answer your question. non permanent pens do run with varnish. Use them only for projects that do not need protection,like art journalling. Thanks so much Donna.
i really think sometimes, some people's "junk" is just so much better than mine...even junk mail i think... I live in such a huge city and haven't seen ANY NAPKINS as beautiful T_T
Shyni Moonlightings : try specialty gardening shops. They usually have a good selection; also, if you have a Botanical Gardens near you, their gift shops should have a great selection too.
Thank you so very much Rana. It's been awhile, but I believe that I left this piece as is,. because many layers of glue held it all together and will protect too. Now a days I use mostly matte Mod Podge as glue, which is meant to be a sealer aa well and for most projects it gives enough protection.. : )
.so very pretty.. ,, I would like to try. My very first one. Would you have any videos on doing one for a baby boy please. . I want to be able to .try To do one if I could see you do it thank. You so so much
Thank you so much Kathy,glad it inspired you to try napkin collaging. If you can find baby shower napkins or other baby boy designs, it would come together easily. Just give it a try. : )
Love💕the Strauss Valz 🎵🎵🎵. Soothing demo. Thank you ! 🤗🎨✨🗽🇺🇸
Thank you Judith. Classical music is inspirational. : )
@@InaSolsberyartroom I like so much too, thanks for sharing your projets. It's cool!
Ina, I enjoyed seeing how you used the acrylic paint to extend and enhance the collage. It made for seamless transitions between pieces. Very nice.
+SweetWillowDesign Thank you so much Maria...Happy to hear that, I love it when someone comments on details. I appreciate you taking the time.
Yes, the final canvas was more vivid and interesting. Relying on your artist's eye is always the best bet. Well, done. Endless napkins; endless ideas.
Thank you Chuck for your kind comment and yes, sometimes you have to go back and "fix" things until they satisfy you. : )
Art is everywhere, in Everything. Wonderful piece 👍💕🌻

What did you use to make your sprays? I love those colors!
If I recall correctly I used permanent markers and alcohol to make the spray. Glad you liked the project. Thank you. : )
love it!!
Thank you so much Alida.
Very nice
Thank you so much : )

i really think sometimes, some people's "junk" is just so much better than mine...even junk mail i think... I live in such a huge city and haven't seen ANY NAPKINS as beautiful T_T
+Shyni Moonlightings LOL you are funny....but I know what you mean. Some of these napkins I received in swaps from other crafters.
Shyni Moonlightings : try specialty gardening shops. They usually have a good selection; also, if you have a Botanical Gardens near you, their gift shops should have a great selection too.
Shyni Moon Handmade Try Christmas Tree Shop. Or Dollar Tree. Remember Pinterest Print outs. I’m sure you do great crafts.
I love your work so much! I'm just curious if you varnish it at the end for extra protection or not. Thanks
Thank you so very much Rana. It's been awhile, but I believe that I left this piece as is,. because many layers of glue held it all together and will protect too. Now a days I use mostly matte Mod Podge as glue, which is meant to be a sealer aa well and for most projects it gives enough protection.. : )
@@InaSolsberyartroom Thank you :)
Love them...x
+Louloupurple Crafts Thank you Louise.
I like it😘😘
I am happy you do. Thank you so very much Jane. : )
Can you tel me what is that paint pen brush thing you use to apply color? Are you dipping it into acrylic paint? Looks so cool!
Thank you. I am using a regular,fine tip paint brush, it just happens to have a chunky handle. Any fine paint brush will do.. : )
That was AWESOME!
Did you let try first before putting the paint on?
Thank you very much Stephanie and yes, the napkins are dry,before I paint. Thanks for watching.
Очень красиво!!! 👍 только я не поняла, вы салфетки раслаиваете или все три слоя клеите. ? Спасибо.
Спасибо Irina . Просто используйте только верхний слой салфеток, просто цветной слой. :)
Ina Solsbery спасибо 😉
Love it
Thank you so very much Joana. : )
.so very pretty.. ,, I would like to try. My very first one. Would you have any videos on doing one for a baby boy please. . I want to be able to .try To do one if I could see you do it thank. You so so much
Thank you so much Kathy,glad it inspired you to try napkin collaging. If you can find baby shower napkins or other baby boy designs, it would come together easily. Just give it a try. : )
Can you tell us what you use to make the homemade sprays?
I used the inside spongy ink holder from permanent markers and alcohol. TFW
Do you still hold the monthly challenges in 2021?
We are just working on the December one, It was running all through 2021.
