Thanks for watching =)
Much love

I used hairspray on my pastel drawings that I did in the 60's. It was lacquer; worked just fine.
Thank you I've been wondering what to use for the sealer! I really like this idea. Thank you for the tips
Awe the beauty of a young brain, wonderful tip. Thanks for sharing, I wasn't happy with some of my pages finish. The clear gesso will work, and I'll love the added tooth.
I'm new to art journalling, etc., and didn't know there was clear gesso. Thanks for the tip. So far I've used a spray acrylic sealer to seal my pages. Love your tutorials!
Thanks for the tips. I just started an art journal and your videos have been very helpful.
Girl I could listen to you talk all day! What a great video. You are a fantastic teacher :)
thanks so much I am learning what i need to make the jounals that I have in my head.
7:36 Clear gesso! Ah, that's why I bought some. Thank you for the info and tips.
Thanks for the clear gesso tip!!! I use heavy body acrylics and modpodge so i have had some huge sticking going on in my journal. I am def. Gonne try this!!!
Forgot to mention, thanks so much for the tips on the clear gesso. I've not tried that yet, and I've been curious about it. Love your tips, advise, and journal pages. I like it that you keep it real. =)
I love puppy nose! I have clear gesso but have never had much use for it. I am going to have to
give this a try. Thanks!
Love your work. Love to watch your videos, too. Thanks, Jenibellie.
Oh yea and we are wearing same nail polish. It's cute. You're gorgeous
I use the Dorlands Wax and I find that using a small amount on a cloth and let it dry to a haze.
After it is dry, I use a very soft cloth and gently buff the page.
I will give the clear gesso and try and see how that works.
Thanks for sharing.

I just got some clear gesso. I will try your idea. Thank you Jenni.
Never have tried clear gesso but thought it sounded interesting enough to try and had already planned on ordering some next month. Now I have an additional reason. Thanks! :)
You and your dog are so cute love that u added him in video
I use a damp makeup wedge sponge to spread sealers like mod podge. Spreads well and can be reused and no brush strokes or loose hairs.
Is there a way to make homemade gesso? Thanks Dear your so helpful :)
Great sealing tips! Have you ever tried using a rubber spatula for adding the clear gesso?
I am sooo pleased i discovered your channel xxxx thank you !
I looked it up on amazon. You can buy 2 cans of krylon workable fixative 11 oz. cans for $15. I discovered many kinds of mod podge too. Sparkle, silver shimmer, brushstroke matte, gloss, fabric, paper matte, hard coat, etc. Most of them were new to me! It's a 16 oz. jar for $8. They're acid free, but not archival grade necessarily. I've never used bees wax on anything. Maybe I'll try it some time.
Thanks for making and posting this video. It's very helpful to me!
Dorland wax is my long time solution, but the clear gesso's a great idea. If I don't like the tooth of the gesso, I can top it off with Dorland and I'll still have the stick-down advantage of gesso. Thanks much!
Great tip - thanks Jennibellie. I tend to use an acrylic satin lacquer spray (from Chestnut Products) as it seals and bonds beautifully (quick drying) and doesn't affect water-based media. Goes on matte-looking with one layer, but glosses with more layers so you can play with the final look of the page a bit. It's available cheaply compared to other sprays and doesn't yellow even in direct sunlight. Hope that's useful to someone somewhere! - Shroo:)x
Would matt spray work as well?
Will lacquer be okay on paper?
I've learned so many tips from you!
Judikins Microglaze. It takes a very small amount. Rub it on gently & buff it. Works great for water soluble pages without a lot of run- on. Also works as a resist. Similar to a wax, I've heard some use Chapstick as a substitute.
thank you...i hqve been going round and round trying to figure out whats the best product to use to seal and protect my pages and No stickiness..thank you for the info
what great idea. I was going to go with daddy vans but this makes more sense! thank you!
I used clear gesso for the first time yesterdayj, I was adding some tea leaves for texture on a dark background and it shows up a bit white under the dark tea leaves. Maybe it will go away over time, not sure. It's a top brand too.
OMG i LOVE YOUR DOG! Thanks for all the awesome videos :)
You're phenomenal! I just think not only are you adorably talented but also have the personality of a comedic artistic puppy dog, that I just wanna hug and learn from. Truly an original. Please go on and become highly successful in your artistic endeavors. That will be a joy to your fans! . Good day. YOur AmeRican BFf -Michelle-
I have been experimenting with as many different ways to seal pages as I can think of -- and those suggested to me -- just bought some clear gesso today. Cannot wait to see how it works. Interesting tip on the heat/wax tip. I do not particularly like the feel of the wax either but plan to try Dorland wax because I am on a mission to try different techniques(;0)
Krylon workable fixative is safe for pastels, chalk, or pencil pieces. I use a big 11 ounce can. It lasts and lasts. You might not realize this, but Mod Podge is available in matte It's a lot cheaper than Gesso or Golden medium. I might try using hairspray when I run out of the workable fixative. I believe in thrift.
help, many of my paintings in my art journal are gouache or a mix of gouache, ink and acrylic. I am having a lot of trouble with damage and paint run. i have spent hours creating these pieces how can I protect them.
thank you. I love Collage Pauge. no sticking and light.
Was needing clear info on this for ages! tfs Jenny! xo :D
I have made pages with modge podge and now have the dilema of them sticking together. I used baby powder over them and it helps a little. I was wondering if putting any of the suggestions, clear gesso, fixitive etc over the modge podge will work or will they react and end up with a worst mess?
That what I have a problem with today- Have you tried It? Does it work?
Wallpaper paste - it's commongly used in papier maché and it does seal everything together. :D
Dear Jennibellie, have you ever done paper fabric (I'm planning on making some to sew a fabric traveler journal = a.k.a. fauxdori). And if you have, what would you seal it with, as it has to maintain its flexibility?
I hace used acrylic wax, which really strengthen and protects paper and turns into leather.
Would hairspray be able to seal a watercolor letter project on acrylic base wood? thanks for any advice you may have.
Thanks for sharing...luv all that u do!
Hi! I have a couple questions: does gesso make the pages stronger? How many coats should I use? What can I coat with it?
The reason I ask, is because I would like to preserve the pages of my Wreck This Journal series books and I have so much mixed media in it.
Someone said to use packing tape. But I don't know if I want to do that. Especially if the tape wrinkles up when I try to lie it down.
Please help if you can! Thanks ;)
as always, great info, thank you hun xx
So, you use gesso on a page, but what about the page opposite to it. Do you gesso that as well or do you suggest using alternative pages in a journal? Your videos are really informative. Thank you.
Both, but it depends on what elements I have used on the page. Sometimes I don't use anything at all, or use matt gel sparingly as I go along. I just use intuition.
So excellent! Thank you. I've been wondering about all the alternatives.
What does it mean by "the tooth of gesso"? I'm quite new to art journals and I'm still in the process of learning everything. Thanks in advance:D
Dear jennibellie--- I have been looking and searching and researching for a couple weeks now looking for a "sealant" for a new journal I purchased. Im a journal lover and collector- but this journal was pretty expensive and is really important to me and I have page ideas for it, I just havent been able to start it yet because I want to make sure whatever pages i make- they will stay sealed how I want them. I liked your idea of the clear liquid gesso- but am wondering if that can be used with the same result on tea dyed paper??? Any info would be much appreciated! Thanks!
Jennie, does *tooth* equal *grit* does that mean extra texture to a page or layout and does Gesso do that with everything. I have never used it but want to try. Please can you give me some more information on it. I know you dont like advertising brands but can you please tell us more about this.
Your pup has a really impressive nose! Thanks for your tips--really helpful. I have a tip, too--when you have a sticky/tacky page, try dusting it with a bit of talcum powder--and I do mean talcum (a lot of dusting powders are starch, which is water-reactive). I personally use Gold Bond, or else Jean Nate (which smells LOVELY, by the way!), and I dust it on with a wee dusting brush--I keep the powder & the brush in an old yogurt cup with a snap-on lid.
Great tips & information, TFS!
Hey Jenni ... thanks so much for the tips, I watch all your video & have learned a lot. I would be careful with hair spray over ink.. I have used hair spray for years as a cleaner for ink in clothing, carpet, and even on my car dash from a broken pen that left a big ink puddle. So keep your eye on it. Thank you for sharing your creative works I enjoy them a lot. ~Pauline
good video, but still think cold wax is the way to go. I would never use hair spray for fear of it yellowing in time. need to try the clear gesso. thanks for the tips!
I like this idea!
nice idea. but I stay in India and...frankly speaking...I am doing art journal for m hobby purpose and after watching so many videos and searching items in amazon, things are way so so so so expensive !!!
love you nails!!!!!
How do you keep your shimmery items shimmery if you use clear gesso
thanks for the advice!
Thanks so much. Have been looking for a reason to buy clear gesso. ;o)
Very helpful, thank you.
Really nice!
I hate the tooth that clear gesso has so I don't use it very often. I love the hairspray idea though...I use that one a lot! :)
Fantastic tips! Thank you :)
this is exactly the question i needed answering - ta
I heard on another art journal video that working in turtle wax after your finish will prevent pages from sticking together.
Could I use clear tape?
AWESOME VIDEO!!
Thank you ! This video helped me so much :-)
great tip, must get me some of the Gesso :)
i love it!!
very helpful...thanks.
What about sealing Dylusions Spray Inks? Any suggestions? Thanks!
Nykki
I came across this video just today as I to was looking for a sealer to use with a water based color(distress pens in my case) but have not found a definite answer yet. Have you discovered anything to use on your sprays to make them permanent? Any advice is greatly appreciated. thanks
Lindo Perrito...!!!
cool! thank you. =)
Hairspray will yellow over time and is not archival. If you don't mind that, then spray away!
The dog rocks AAAAWWWWWHHH
Your nails are pretty distracting 🥺
