Hello there! Thank you for the shout out. I am delighted that you tried the technique and were able to share it with so many others. I hope you have a creative week, dear Susis. 🌷🌻🌼Kelly
Thank you for this video! I think your pieces turned out as beautiful as the ones Kelly created, and using the Neocolor 2 crayons is an inspired idea! The sunflower turned out so well; it is presumptuous of me, but, if i created it, I would archive it to make photocopies to use in many projects. Perhaps a tribute to Van Gogh's sunflower paintings? And your English is fine, your meaning is clear, so please do not worry about that; being bilingual is a blessing. So please keep making videos!😊
Thank you for your kind words! What a great idea to make photocopies! Will definitely do this!😃 I'm happy that you like my video! Thank you for watching! Susanne 💕
Great technique! Love the results you got ❤I have lots of floral, bird and other decor magazines/books etc. Can’t wait to do this. The block is sandpaper block and the diff grades of sandpaper is called grit. So 400 grit is finer grain than 200 grit etc. Yes you’re removing the shine or glossiness 😊 Your English is excellent! Pls don’t ever hesitate or apologize 😊. Looking forward to watching/learning more from your channel. One small thought if I may… it’s best to use gloves if you do this technique often. The chemicals from the print are not good to be absorbed by the skin. Fine dust inhalation is not either 😊
@@rkug777 Thank you for your comment! Oh yes, the next time I will definitely wear gloves. I don‘t like how the dust feels on my hands, it‘s horrible. Thank you for watching and I‘m really thankful for your comment about my English! I‘m happy that you can understand what I‘m trying to tell and explain in my videos!🩷
Yes! I saw Kelly's video at Book and Paper Art and I loved it as well. How inspiring and lovely she is. You did an amazing job. I love how all your pages turned out and I also love your page with the chair. Thank you so much for sharing! Blessings, Violet
Hi Susi! I find it easier to wet the sponge without spraying the paper. The sponge was also designed for cleaning stainless steel kitchen sinks and can remove rust stains and similar marks. Ordinary wet sandpaper is less abrasive, but it tears easily, which is why these blocks are so practical. The sponge is perfect for controlling how wet you want it to be. To use the sponge, put it under water and then squeeze out the water until it's almost dry or until it`s as wet as you want it to be.
@@susisjournaladventuregrit number of a sand paper (or sand block like yours) is the way to know if the sandpaper is coarse or fine. 400 grit is finer than 200 grit (coarser)
thank you for sharing. I enjoyed learning this technique. I looked to see your other content and I want to ask exactly what is it that you used to make the translucent paper. Coconut something? thanks in advance.
Die Idee finde ich Klasse. Schade, dass du das Video nicht auf Deutsch machst. Ich habe Probleme, zu schauen und die Untertitel zu lesen. Es gibt viel zu wenige Tutorials in Deutsch
Es freut mich, dass Dir mein Video gefällt!✨Ich habe vor meinem ersten Video lange überlegt, ob ich die Videos auf englisch oder deutsch mache und sehe Vor- und Nachteile für beides. Ich kann Dich total gut verstehen, aber ich denke auch, dass man vielleicht auch gut versteht, was ich da mache, auch wenn man gar keinen Text hat. Liebe Grüße!
Good Lord. It looks like a sanding block. It's also not important what magazine you got your pictures from, only that some are thicker and some papers are thinner.
@christicoffey6463 I'm not rude. I'm being honest. She has a great tutorial. I'd rather her get into her Art and her knowledge than just use time to fill with useless things that amount to nothing. Most people will use their own magazines. It's just the grade of paper that may be important to know. As for the sanding block, I think most people, even people who are not familiar with construction, can recognize some sort of sandpaper device. AND YES, my parents are proud they raised a good Southern woman. Took care of daddy and momma until the day they went home to see Jesus.
@@donnaleeclubb119 Donnalee I think I understand you better now. You may be a "just the facts" person who has an extremely thin veneer of humor or tolerance for anything beyond the simplest explanation for anything. I know someone on the spectrum who sometimes behaves similarly, does what he always says is "cutting to the chase", paring everything down to the driest bare bones. Unfortunately, he thus deprives himself of a lot of rewarding joy in the process of ignoring the essence of entertainment. Kudos for taking care of your parents, few do so these days.

Please disregard the rudeness of some people. I really like how the pink flower one turned out.
@@Beth-se8xz Thank you Beth for your kind words! 🩷Yes, I think the page with the flowers is also my favorite one!✨
I really like what you did here. I’ve sanded magazine pictures before, but painting over them is a new technique for me. Thank you for sharing this.
@@hilarymerola11 Have fun! ✨🩷
This is a fabulous idea! They are called "sanding blocks" and the "grit" are the little stones you described. 😊

Grit. It’s called a sanding block and has varying levels of grit depending upon how much/fine you wish yo remove or sand off.
Thank-you for sharing this lovely technique Susi, so inspiring, loved them all!💖💖
@@mariakirchner6437 Thank you so much, Maria!✨🌸
Hi, you‘ve used a sanding block, the little stones are called grid. The technique Kelly shows is really amazing.
That‘s the word I was looking for! 😅🤭Thank you! Yes, Kelly has awesome videos in her channel!
They are called grit in the United States. Different grits sand more or less. You can also use sandpaper or a nail file.
@@thejunkjourney2650A nail file also works great! Thank you! ✨

Hi, you probably already knew but we call it the "grit" so 20 grit, 30 grit etc.
Thank you!🙏 ✨
I do believe it is called grit.....not grid. Perhaps I am wrong?
@@sherrybarfield8446 Do you mean the coating of the sanding block?

Yes, it’s grit. Not grid

Good Lord. It looks like a sanding block. It's also not important what magazine you got your pictures from, only that some are thicker and some papers are thinner.
Why you gotta be so rude?!? Your mama would be ashamed of you behaving so poorly.
Perhaps you have always known that?
