That looks great and such a clever use of a box.
Thank you Naomi..A great masterpiece for the Christmas table....Have a wonderful Christmas family day ❣️
You're welcome Prue, I'm glad you like it! To turn it into a battery tea light holder, just make the hole bigger and deeper, this can be done with a craft knife. Merry Christmas to you too <3
I love the music❤🕊️
Thank you. I always struggle with music selection, happy to hear I got it right :-)
Beautiful. I enjoyed watching the process. Thank you.
Thank you so much for watching!
I would LOVE to know how you were able to make your image in reverse! I have a few projects I'm itching to do with image transfer with my own poetry but I can't for the life of me sort that out! Is it in the printing settings, computer settings or do you use a special program? I may not be correct but I was under the impression that if you heat up the molds they will soften up again so. you can straighten them out, just for future reference, you may want to give that I try though don't hold me to it, I haven't done it myself but I heard someone mention that. I love your project! I'm about to embark on something similar today on a HUGE canvas and a piece of furniture and appreciate the inspiration! I have had NO luck with crackle mediums for YEARS!! I do a lot of faux fini finishes but the Crackle Gods have not smiled upon my crackle project! haha I've bought so many products and I just can't crack to save my soul! haha I'm trying Mont Marte Crackle paste this time with a chaser of white glue which was suggested in the instructions....if this doesn't work, I will throw in the crackle towel for good! Warmest Artsy wishes from Montreal, Canada
Hello! Great question, depending on the image, sometimes it is a matter of just flipping the image (in Word, Canva, etc) or by using the print settings on the computer. This image was from @thegraphicsfairy and sometimes she has reversed images available. Thank you for your suggestion regarding the moulds and that you love my project. I'd like to think that I can inspire others to give it a try. Good luck with your crackle and new project, fingers crossed the crackle fairy is on your side :-)
@@WillowandFink Thank you so much, I'll try your suggestions, I'm sure it can't be too complicated....when you now how to to do it that is! I really want to create some personalized art as Christmas gifts for family and friends with image transfers, they are one of a kind that you can't buy in a store! Thanks so much for the inspiration, your response and suggestions! Much appreciated! I'm trying crackle tonight, I'm staring the crackle paste container as I write.... I think I'm ready to face my crackle demons! haha Warmest wishes from Montreal, Canada!!
Техника потрясающая, это подобно произведению искусства 16 века❤
Thank you!! That was the look I was going for <3
❤
Thank you, I'm happy that you love my art.
Good job
I'm glad you liked it! I'll let her know :-)
What was the point of adding so many layers of colors if only the yellow now shows through? Just wondering. Ok, I see the close-up does have other colors showing. Cool.
I'm glad you liked. With more gentle distressing the under layers show through more.
Lovely!!
I'm so happy you like it. I'll let her know. :-)
Where do I get the paper clay mouldings? Or the materials to make my own?
It looks like an old clay jar… very pretty
Thank you! That's the look she was going for.
Can you please tell us name of the molds you are using. Thanks
Hi, She used IOD moulds Trimmings 2 and Olive Crest on this project.
What powder are you using thanks
I'm using a product I created called Matted & Tattered, I use it to make my own chalk and texture paint. You can find info about it here: www.willowandfink.com.au/matte-minerals
New Viewer
Thank you for stopping by :-)
Can you Please tell us which molds you used? Please
Hi, I used a mixture of IOD and Re-Design by Prima. They were the Trimmings moulds and Olive Crest from memory.
Sublime
Thank you. I'm happy that you like it.
Are your molds wood or clay?
I make my own paperclay, and the moulds used in this project were made from that.
Love your work, what is mattered and tattered please?
Thank you, I'm happy to hear you love my work :-) Mattered and Tattered is a chalk based powder I created that I add to store bought paint to create my own chalkpaint and texture paint. You can find it on my website: www.willowandfink.com.au
So beautiful ❤❤
Thank you! 😊
So stunning 😍 I love all of your paint finishes ❤
Thank you, I'm so happy to hear that. You have made my day <3
Your video is very helpful❤❤
I'm happy that you found it helpful.
@@WillowandFink thank you❤❤
This is gorgeous, and so is the music. Many artists create with music in their videos and you've done a beautiful job with this.
Thank you for your lovely comment. I find choosing music the hardest bit :-)
I really loved how this turned out. You've given me some really great ideas for making my own trim pieces for projects I'm doing. Might I ask what piece of music you were playing? I really enjoyed it. Thanks and amazing end results. 💖😍
I'm glad you liked my video and it inspired you to make your own trims. The music used was provided by UA-cam and it was called: Josef Suk, Serenade, Op 6.
Pls share wht material is used
I use joint compound when raised stencilling.
Chic
Thank you.
❤
Thank you.
Turned out nice, but the background music was horrible. If I wasn’t curious how it turned out, I would have skipped it! Sorry
Thank you. I always struggle choosing the music.
Very nice piece. The music wasn't that bad and certainly is not a reason to not like or subscribe. ❤😊
Thank you. Choosing the music is always tricky.
Благодарю! Очень красиво! А кому музыка не нравится, отключайте звук!
Thank you very much. I'm glad you like my art :-)
Stop dicking the dog. Too long even at double speed!
Beautiful!
Thank you! <3
😲OMG TRULY AMAZING 🎶 MUSIC* GREAT ART TO.🌺
Thank you! I'm glad you like it <3
I love how it turned out 😍❤
Thank you. I'm pretty chuffed with it too. 🙂
What kind of paint did you use?
I used an All in One Mineral Paint.
Love this. have just come across it. Have you done the follow up video has i can not find it,? Would love to see how you painted it and what paints you used Will be having a go. Thank you.
I used your method n it is amazing n so easy, thanks 😊
You are very welcome. I'm glad I could help :-)
Que massa dura
Thank you.
If I was to try this technique I believe I would use paint and chalk powder.
Yes, that would work.
These comments are distracting me!
I hope in a good way :-)
Great info.....awful music!
Hi Vanessa, yes I've had that comment before, my music choices are a bit hit and miss :-D
The music was beautiful too!
Thank you <3 I'm glad you liked it, I always find it hard choosing the music :-)
With the upmost respect to you and your obvious talent I feel that I must emphasize that I much prefer the use of voice-over technology as opposed to music playing. I very much want to learn from you, so what I need from you most is your voice and direction. I appreciate that you are taking the time to hold up products as you are about to use them, however for those of us who are vision impaired, the added step of including them with attached links into a Product List within the Comments section makes crafting that much easier. 😅 As well, having access to the Transcript is a wonderful help for a multitude of reasons. With many thanks, Julie Canada
Hi Julie, Thank you for your comments. I'm still learning the ways of UA-cam, but have thought about the points you mentioned, so I have started talking in my newer videos. I'm not sure my accent will be appreciated though :-D I do not stock some of the products I use, but have considered adding links to the items I do, and direct where to buy for the products I don't. I will look into the transcript idea. I hope you are enjoying your crafting journey, and thank you for watching my videos. <3 Naomi.
Oh ! One last request … Can you include a transcript as well ? Thanks once again !
Thanks Julie, As per my previous reply, I'll look into it. <3 Naomi.
Horrible music!
Hi Brenda, thank you for your comment. It can be a bit tricky getting the music right sometimes :-)
Super!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you.
Do you seal the finished piece to make it more durable against knocks wear and tear?
Hi, yes I do. Generally with a spray sealer as a brush on can make the napkins wrinkle.
Amazing 😍 work 👍 maam keep sharing ❤️
Thank you, I will
