    I can envision an entire set of watercolor accessories... Necklace, bracelet, and barrette in matching colors. You are an excellent teacher and your designs are stunning! TFS!!!

    Thanks so much for adding to your collection of great videos, Ross. They're so practical in the details and so inspiring in the results!

    Ross,
    Another excellent presentation. Providing all the details removes all apprehension a novice artist may have.

    This, along with your others, is truly lovely. Thanks for recommending the French clips. They are the BEST hair clips to use, especially with thick hair like mine. I have been collecting barrettes for years and this is the best DIY I have ever seen. Can't wait to get started on one for myself.

    I love this technique. The colors are beautiful. I can't wait to see your new earring design in this technique when finished. I have a lot of art supplies left from art classes. I now have a use for them instead of sitting collecting dust.

    I am totally loving your videos! I never even considered diluting varnish before but after watching you I've been using it on some of my recycled paper crafts. I've also been heating them to harden the varnish, which is brilliant! I feel like a rock star!!

    I admire your work so much. I have replicated your bracelet technique and adapted it to my own creations. Now you have inspired me again. You are very clear and concise, which makes it so easy to take your instruction and let it become multiple inspiration points. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your art. You do beautiful work.

    This is absolutely gorgeous and I loved seeing all of the steps. The only thing I could add as a tip from my end, is to make sure the French barrette is "right side up" meaning that you look at your design on the front, if there is a distinct up or down, you want to ensure the open part of the barrette will point toward the back of the head when the design is up, if that makes any sense. Wow, I loved this project!

    Stunning hair clips Ross. I wear my hair up all the time with wooden sticks or chop sticks. I appreciate your insight / recommendation for the Gorilla glue. I never knew whether it was worth investing in or not. You are always an inspiration. Many thanks

    Ross, I have had the privilege to watch a number of your videos and thank you for the really detailed instructions, superb designs and the wonderful outcomes from your jewellery ideas. Might I respectfully ask, do you have any Scottish blood? The reason I ask is that you sound like an amazing Sean Connery trying to combine his voice with an American accent, it is truly wonderful to listen to old chap. I am of a similar age to your good self. I love painting and crafting, exhibiting and selling, nothing like it. Love creating new and unique items, investigating new ways of doing things, experimenting and learning, also teaching and advising other to help them progress. Thank you once again for your posts, may your life be blessed and all those you love.

    • @realisticart

      Hi! I appreciate hearing your kind words regarding my instructional techniques and jewelry ideas. Regarding my American accent, it’s probably affected by a Brooklyn accident. I never realized that I had a Brooklyn accent until I began publishing videos on TH-cam. People would comment on my “Brooklyn accent.” As far as I know there is no Scottish in my ancestry, but I am half Irish. I also paint, and you can see my paintings on my website rossbarbera Nice to hear from you and thanks for watching!

    Hi Dee,
    I don't recommend a conventional oven because the temperature is not as stable as it would be in a toaster oven or, better still, a small convection oven. I can set either of those ovens at 150 F and be fairly assured that the temperature will maintain a stable level while I have my pieces in. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching! -Ross

      Thanks JaNee - glad you enjoy my videos! The good thing about videos is that you can stop and re-start them. You can't do that in class! Best regards - Ross

    • @deborahbeatty

    Hi Ross, love this idea. I have recently acquired a Silhouette Cameo cutting machine, if it can cut the paper this would make the project a lot easier! I did a few earrings following one of your other tutorials but it was the cutting that put me off. I have plenty of paper since I paint watercolours anyway, will have to check the weight of it.

  • @realisticart
    @realisticart  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I use a counter top convection oven in my workshops because it maintains the temperature that I set it at much better than a traditional toaster oven.
    Glad you like the project, and thanks for watching!

  • @CAVEMAAN76

    • @lisajarvis3820

      Looking for this video version but can’t seem to find it 🤷🏿‍♀️~ please help?

  • @realisticart
    @realisticart  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    For the layering of paper, E6000 would not work. The glue must be easily spread with a paint brush. For this I recommend a high quality PVA glue like Lineco Neutral pH or Jade 711. Elmer’s Glue-All can also be used, but it’s not archival. E6000 could be used to attach the barrette to the back of the hairpiece, but its vapors are very toxic and the glue must be used in a well-ventilated area.

  • @DianneCulbertsonJacques
    @DianneCulbertsonJacques 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love the video! I paint in sumi-e so only use rice paper…Would I use 2 layers of 140# and one rice? Also, does the oven have to be a dedicated oven? I am wondering about the chemicals.

    • @realisticart
      @realisticart  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Because rice paper is very thin I recommend using 4 layers of 140lb cold press watercolor paper to construct the hairpiece. Thanks for watching!

  • @zehralort
    @zehralort 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Fantastic but I really like the chopstick version. How do you contruct the holes?

    • @realisticart
      @realisticart  8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Zehra, I probably should make a video on how to do that. After I have glued the layers and the paper is still wet, I punch out the holes and insert the chop stick. I allow the hair piece to dry with the chop stick inserted because results in a perfect fit between chop stick and hairpiece. Thanks for watching!

  • @AmyzJunkJournals
    @AmyzJunkJournals 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    when diluting the varnish what are you diluting it with ? And is your glue diluted at all?

    • @realisticart
      @realisticart  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      HI, In this video I diluted the varnish with water, but my methods have changed over the years, and I no longer dilute the varnish. The only exception to this is if the varnish has thickened over time because of exposure to air. Then I sometimes add a small amount of water to restore it to its original thickness. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching my video!

  • @free2danz
    @free2danz 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    are you using cold or hot pressed paper? could you use 300lb instead of 140?

    • @realisticart
      @realisticart  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm using 140lb cold press paper. I have made pieces with 300lb, but prefer the results that I achieve with the 140. Thanks for watching!

  • @realisticart
    @realisticart  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi- a toaster oven is not absolutely required. You can varnish the piece (as described in the video) & let it air dry until it hardens sufficiently; this can take time. As for my jewelry & hairpieces, my techniques can be used to create your "own distinctly unique designs" & I encourage this. The designs that I demonstrate in my videos & display on my websites are mine & copyrighted (basic Egyptian Link excepted), so they cannot be copied in order to sell or exhibit anywhere (personal use is OK)
