Fabric is one of my favorite things to decoupage because of how easy it is to get a smooth finish, can move around easily, and it soaks up the glue so well that when it is stuck down it is rock solid. The thickest material I have used was a very heavy upholstery fabric. I just soaked it with watered down glue and it was perfect.
You are a treasure and I am lucky to have found your videos. Your lifestyle is something I aspire to ❤. Taking art in college ruined my passion and you have truly helped me in my journey to find it again. Thank you.
I would love to see a tour of your art studio, your house and your yard. I see a little bits and pieces of it in the background in your videos and in the very beginning of the videos.
I just found your channel today! Have now watched every video ...and find myself wishing for more! I'm amazed at all the beauty you create, your eclecticism and impressive productivity! Thank you for sharing so much, including a number of your techniques! Your sense of humor is very enjoyable and clearly present in many of your art pieces.... I hope you can post some more vídeos on occasion, I'm sure your subscribers would very much enjoy seeing what you have been up to! ❤
Oh My Goodness, these took my breath away! They’re stunning, unique, and incredibly fabulous. You are extremely talented! I was drawn, especially, to the forest lady, but adore them allI!
Thanks Griselda, good to know your still out there in the universe! You were my first fan 😝 and yes the trays have been in the shed for 28 yrs so about time they got up cycled…pity about yours xx
@@joybellart4727 Thanks Joy , so glad You started this , love Your creativity !!! First Fan woohoooooo , and yep had to laugh about the trays...though I know I have a whole heap of other stuff that would enJOY this process ...look out WORRRRLD hahahah
I’ve just discovered you tonight. I love your creativity. Such an inspiration and a natural teacher. I have to ask… why have stopped all media. ? I hope you’re well. Healthy and happy
@@AnAlbertaGirlAtHeart so appreciate your thoughts…I’ll be back in April, I’m happy and healthy but my grandson (4) has had a liver transplant and his mum does the vids for me, we all live on the same plot of land. Love Alberta.
@ Thankyou for your reply. I pray your grandson has a speedy recovery to health and happiness. Strength for all of you as he heals and grows. I look forward to seeing that he you’re back at it in the spring 😁 or… your autumn. I really admire your quirky art pieces and I love playing with found glass into art projects on discarded antique windows. I’ve always wanted to try a concrete/mosaic chair and seeing you use polystyrene was a major ahh ha moment. I imagined using straw bales for the form but your method makes more sense. Anyway… I’ll be watching the rest of what you’ve posted and anticipating more. Thanks again and Take care.
Hi, thanks for that, the vases are technically sealed but in case they get punctured I would play safe and use a waterproof liner eg plastic drink bottle/ milk container with their tops cut off and use that inside the vase, cheers Joy
Hi, Thankyou for that…if you go back to my previous videos , just before this one there is a tutorial on making concrete objects…I made 20 of these white concrete heads from a mannequin,to have fun with. The videos take you through the process in the cheapest, easiest way possible. It is a great way to make multiples. I doubt anyone makes them for sale, cheers Joy
Hi, there is no glue…i use Resene acrylic polyurethane…so water based not solvent based poly, glues and seals the fabric at the same time…good luck, Joy
Your fans miss you Joy

I love your work and your Tortorella makes it look so easy . Are the vases water proof or are they just for dry flowers ?
Hi, thanks for that, the vases are technically sealed but in case they get punctured I would play safe and use a waterproof liner eg plastic drink bottle/ milk container with their tops cut off and use that inside the vase, cheers Joy
Hi, your work is stunning. Can I ask please where could I source a concrete Ladies head? are they vintage or new . thanks
