You are so right. I keep buying and dont know where to start or scared to use my expensive materials. Love you vids. Thanks for sharing. Your very talented.
I love that you - and some other mixed media artists - are moving in the direction of utilizing negative space. You describe it so well: a place for the eyes to rest. Great piece!
I do have shiny object syndrome with craft supplies. I came up with an idea for my cards I would make my friends and family and bought what was needed and to this day I have forgotten to include it with the cards 🤦♀️🤣I love mixed media. So glad I found your channel. Thanks for the lesson. ☮️❤️
Oh , I’m so glad I found you! Your tips & tricks are so helpful. And I love DiY art shimmers and gesso. Thank you so much for teaching me about white space in my art! That’s so hard for me because I’m a color junky. Lol, this video really helped me . When you said, only 3 colors is all I need, my eyes opened wide. My last background had 7 colors. And then I get stuck and don’t know what to do next. I’ve only been doing this since Oct 2018. I’ve already made 2 art journals, 2 junk journals, and a ton of art cards, unfinished because I’m not sure how to do embellishments & focal points. I have so much fun doing it. I just love it. So, thank you for giving so much of your Art experience.
This is so helpful! I’m never quite sure where to progress from the first stages of mixed media and end up frustrated with half finished projects! You are very generous in sharing your technique. Thank you!
Thank you, I have been intimidated by all the products people use for art journals, so thank you so much for talking about using what we have around the house! I read somewhere to use an old hardback book, so that is where I started. I am just using things in my art area, and you have given me so many ideas! Thank you!
I like the way you explained everything. I am always buying embellishments or sprays to conform to the tutorials. You show substitutes you can use instead of going by the every tutorial. Your art is lovely
Oh, you are exactly what ive been looking for. Your ideas are fresh, challenging,yet easy! didnt especially like your colors initially, but i was entranced by the end. I think we all get in a rut so now I cant wait to try them. Thanks for challenging my creative process!!
I really like these pages,seems the more mixed media videos I watch the more I want to try it for myself.You're very good at explaining too and your finished pages are so beautiful! Thanks for sharing, I'm now a subscriber!
I’m so happy I found this video! I thought I was the only one who feels like I can’t start without having everything I need. My husband is an artist and has been practicing almost his whole life and I am new to creating. He just sits down and starts a project and I always have so much anxiety about beginning.
I just found you & watched for the first time and am so glad I did. I absolutely love this spread it is so beautiful. You described me to the tee about buying up supplies and not using them for fear of something won't look good. I'm on a mission this year to get into my stash and get busy creating. LOL. I can't wait to see more of your creations b/c this one sure did inspire me. I loved the whole layout and especially the colors! Do you do anything in bling , such as glitter ? Thanks again & happy crafting!🎨🎨🎨
Thank you for this vide o I’m just adding texture and paint into my Junk journals ( which I’ve only been doing for 2 1/2 months now ) I am making my pages separate for the art and texture because my JJ is getting too full and my paint will run, but I felt the need to put more variety in it so here goes nothing ….I love that you use intuition…to me it’s the only way to create!
Thank you 🙏 happy you liked it 😊 You are right about the safety but if you empty the pack to a small container right away and add gel medium or gesso to it I think you are safe for both kids or pets 🌸
Shira...when you were speaking in the beginning of the video you said how people just buy and buy because they feel they are missing something...well that's me. LOL Thank you for this video. People like you make me feel confident to start. I am still very doubtful and unsure of everything. Thank you and continue to be this person that is so down to earth . I am so happy I found your channel and now I have subscribed. God Bless
Gorgeous you made it look so easy I don't have distress I do have acrillic and water colors maybe I should try them out. Thank you for an awesome video🙏😘👍👍🤗🤗
✨🙋🏻♀️☺Most Awesome Video😊😊😊👍👍👍I am New to Art Journaling😊😊😊 😃I Didn't Know You Could Use Hair Spray to Bring Out the Colors On An Art Page😃Many Thanks for Sharing This Tip😊😊😊🎨🎨🎨
Good advise! And great video of your beautiful journal page spread. ( I did have trouble hearing thru the repetitive downbeat style music. Your voice is so lovely you don't need the music. ). Sending hugs!!! Looking forward to more !
Thank you so much Kathy, you are the second person this week to comment on the background music 🤔 so I am happy you liked the video and Im going to rethink the music so thank you for your imput ❤️
Thank you for your comment. I use this trick for over 3 years now, in art journals and canvas and it is still perfect 👌 I don't see any yellowing at all..
@@ShiraStudio oh, that's good! It's just, if you want your work to be archival, be careful. Of to watch a few more of your videos now, so far I'm liking your content, tfs.
Aimee Morse hi Aimee thank you and nice to meet you 😊 it's awesome to be a newbie because everything is super exciting so grab whatever you have at home and just create, it gets easier with every page ❤️
You are so right. I have bought so much and still do, and I have seen so many video, to be sure I know what I am doing 🙄 and am so afraid to use my expensive stuff
Wonderful tutorial! Very inspirational! I’m new to this and really need to think outside the box! I have to remember I don’t need to run out and buy everything, I just need to look around my house! I have a Cricut machine, what material do I use to make a stencil?
The problem with hairsprays as sealers is many of them yellow over time and aren't always safe for works that need to be acid-free. It's not made quite the same way as varnishes or gloss mediums.

Loved your tip about the gauze pads. Im in New Zealand and we don't have anything in fabric like this. Very handy to know and try, thanks.

Thank you so much about the gauze tip. I would've never thought of it and I love the effect it creates.
I love this...the texture and colors are gorgeous :)
This is gorgeous! You've inspired me to try adding more texture to my pages. Thank you for sharing! :)
Thank you so much, Shira, for these wonderful, easy texture ideas! I loved the way you colored them, too. Great job!
Thank you Ruth ❤️😊
Hi Shira! I am a newbie to mixed media - as in - just 1 week old! 😄 Thank you for this video, it is a very handy stepping stone for me 😊

Love watching your vids, nicest
Background music I've ever heard on a crafting video, reminds me of Stevie Nicks (Dreams) lovely 👍🏻🤍

Beautiful pages! I love everything about the art work! Thank you for sharing!!!
Teri Whidden thank you Teri so much, I Really appreciate your comment ❤️
Very pretty! Thank you, I never thought of using silica gel packs for art stones. Just make sure there are no children or pets that could get to it.
Thank you 🙏 happy you liked it 😊 You are right about the safety but if you empty the pack to a small container right away and add gel medium or gesso to it I think you are safe for both kids or pets 🌸
I agree, I just wanted people to think when they use something that can be harmful. I am dumping silica bags into ziplock baggies now. :)
Absolutely loved what you did with this spread, the textures were amazing. Thank you for the inspiration x
Thank you so much for the comment Rita ❤️ xoxo

Thanks for the hairspray tip! Good idea!
maryjanew20 your welcome 😊 it's funny sometimes the tricks that we have, but hey if it works right? 🤣
Hairspray will yellow over time. Ok to use in journal, but never use it on other projects. Use a varnish instead.
Thank you for your comment. I use this trick for over 3 years now, in art journals and canvas and it is still perfect 👌 I don't see any yellowing at all..
@@ShiraStudio oh, that's good! It's just, if you want your work to be archival, be careful. Of to watch a few more of your videos now, so far I'm liking your content, tfs.
Thank you so much, and you are right! This tip will not make it archival so for important work we should use varnish as a protector
Love it!
Thanks for the great videos, I a newbie at art journaling!
Aimee Morse hi Aimee thank you and nice to meet you 😊 it's awesome to be a newbie because everything is super exciting so grab whatever you have at home and just create, it gets easier with every page ❤️
