    Now I know what to do with my moms pile of mags, thank you. I make all my own covers too.

    This is so arresting! Love how you used the magazine pages, and your tag is phenomenal. I am going to have to go back and watch the videos of you making the wonky faces again. I remember thinking I must do that to practice making faces. Sadly, something else caught my attention and I forgot. I made a small flip book with my grandchildren recently. I folded three rectangles of paper, stapled at the fold , then made three cuts. We filled the pages with ovals and then filled in faces, hair, hats, etc. When you flip the pages, you get a variety of different images. They loved it!!! TFS. Thanks for all you do! I hope next week's prompt out of the cup is as exciting as this one! I hope one day you will give us a flip through of your magazine journal. The glimpses I got were tantalizing! 🙏🥰

    I am participating in 2 traveling journal exchanges and I am glad to know that I can mix glue and water to make an adhesive because I have been using my GOLDEN Gel Medium .... and I can see that it will be quite expensive to carry on using that. Thank you for the tip !!!!

    Can not really understand what you are saying and where do you find magazines? They are gone like newspapers.

    • @TwoOldCrowsMixedMedia
      @TwoOldCrowsMixedMedia  8 місяців тому +1

      I’m not sure what you mean by “can’t understand what you’re saying’. Are you having audio difficulties or do you find my speech difficult to understand?
      As for magazines, catalogs cone in the mail from some companies and people, like me, still have magazine subscriptions! I prefer a book or magazine to a P.C./iPad/phone view. Magazines can be purchased at grocery stores, thrift stores and book stores as well. I also have neighbors and friends that save items for me.
