Oh Marta I completely agree with you. If we don’t love our projects then how can we expect anyone else to. Some projects will always turn out better than others, but that’s just the way it happens sometimes. I have loved using rice papers recently too. Be proud of your efforts guys and just have fun creating. Beautiful page 💕💕💕
Marta, you do it EVERY time! Every make starts lovely but about half way through I can’t seem to understand where you are going and how you are going to pull it all together. I should never doubt as somehow the Marta Magic takes over (just a little bit 😊) and ‘poof’ it always ends gorgeous! Please tell Emily that all of her virtual aunties are so glad she’s feeling better and so proud of her and her class for being number 1!
WOW Emily that is so awesome. Such a great honor for you and your school. Hope you feel all better soon. Marta I so wish I had the confidence you have in you art skills. I love when you do these types of videos. It is amazing to watch you turn scraps into a work of art. Even when you step out of your comfort zone it comes out beautiful. TFS
A beautiful page Marta. Love that large flower in the center. So glad to hear that Emily is feeling better and I just noticed the lovely little Irish lilt on her voice. ❤️
Beautiful! Blue is my favorite color. I hope Emily continues to get better. My mom had scarlet fever as a child and back then (probably early 1940’s), they quarantined the house. No one could go anywhere. Thankfully, they have better treatments today.
The flu is going around in the states now. So you and Dad need to take care of yourselves. You know you have so many that have grown to love all of you. You are truly a very special person, we love your crafting ideas. You know that there so many artists of the past that loved their work, but other did not appreciate it. Then years later everyone one says how great their art is. I believe many folks that craft would be surprised to see how their grandchildren and great grandchildren will treasure their crafts after they are gone. If you love it, and it makes you happy. Then it’s a masterpiece and you can bet someone will love it also. So, I’m so glade to hear you telling everyone to not be afraid to say, “I’m just loving it”. You all are in my prayers daily.
the way you have working those gorgeous blue flowers with all the other processes is great for me. I got a better idea of how to work with the different elements ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
A beautiful two page spread, love the rice paper. I love your thought process which changes from minute to minute lol. I think I preferred less black and a little green, but love the overall effect. So glad Emily is better and congratulations on winning the competition
Your enthusiasm pours in many colours upon the pages, igniting inspiration and courage. Your warmth and encouragement is like a warm hand on our shoulder as we open the door to creativity. May I ask do you ever have problems with glue sticks? Do you find the glue holds long term? Thank you for giving so much time and making watching so magic. May Emily heal and be back to her special self soon. Thank you wonderful work☺❤
Sweet sweet Marta. I am so happy that you upload your wonderful video. It's around 04:00 A.M. in Finland and I cannot sleep, so you are keeping me company 💜
I love how you change the direction of your whole page and are happy to just go with the flow. I need to allow myself to go with the flow more. You inspire me so much. Thank you for all your time and effort.
Beautiful piece of art. I have been binge watching your tutorials Marta because I have no clue on how to colour, today I will try and see how far I get. Thank you so much.
I think this page is so beautiful. The colors are such a pleasure to look at. Thank you again for sharing your talent with us. I visited your new shop and it is great!.. Very easy to navigate and well laid out. Of course, I couldn't help but buy a few items =).. your addictive. Sometime I will post what I created. Thank you for reawakening the joy of creating in me. =)
It is gorgeous! I was inspired to start a page by this video. If I manage to get it done I will share in the cafe. I have had a journaling block this year and maybe this will help me get through it. Much happiness for miss Emily and all your family being well again!
Emily is getting better.i,m happy for her. Great video with your art journaling. How i miss that. I like this book very much. Beautifull ricepaper.....and those stickers,wow love love love to see all your artjournaling and collaging work. Thanks Martha, since your inspiration here for me its give me a little more strength to go on with my struggles in my life ,my health. Thnx big hugg from holland XX
Thank you For your video all the more beautiful for me as you have used my favourite colour. Emily, well done to you and your class and glad you are feeling better again
Oh Marta I really love it when you do these collage pages. They are a lovely expression of you. So pleased Emily is nearly better. Love hearing Hannah in the background. Much love, Elizabeth💓💓💓
This is just beautiful! I love your printed rice paper! I also love that you do art with your sweet Emily. (Glad she is feeling better ) I just love to do art with my little granddaughter.
Your page turned out just beautiful as always. I'm glad Emily is feeling better. I know how you feel, my granddaughter is only 4 and she had scarlet fever also, yes it is scary but thankfully they are OK. You are such a delight to listen to and watch create. Tfs. Sending virtual hugs to you all from Scotland.
Glad to hear Emily is getting better! I have that stencil from you. (the diamond one). I love it! It is so sturdy and just the right size. I would love to see more art journaling too.
Very nice! I am understanding art journaling more and more and watching you use all sorts of mediums is perfect. I love when you suggest using other things too as I am new and do not have slot of stuff yet. It was fun to watch as usual! Thank you for sharing!
What a fantabulous achievement, Emily. Truly🎊!! Moreover, so happy that you are feeling much better!👊 Marta, your page is beautiful and unique because you 'Just went for it'!! Apologies for my absence again, hospital visits taking priority. Tk care, ALL of you🌼🙃👋
This is just beautiful! I'm with Emily, I love blue. Love that you showed us all the layers and that its okay to cover stuff up. So happy to hear that Emily is feeling better....how scary for you all! Glad Hannah did not get it. Happy First birthday! 🎉🎈🎁
I love this so much I'm watching again! congratulations to Emily and her class for Winning all of Ireland in the robotic competition. That is truly huge!! It is so stinking awful that you were sick at home, but you were part of it. And i am for sure you were in their hearts! ✨💕💖🎇🤜🏼🌏🌏🌏
Hope Emily gets well soon. I had Scarletina when I was a child, I remember I was really sick with it. You hear of scarlet fever quite often, but not scarletina. Now on a happier note would love to say you are so talented, your work is inspirational. Look forward to watching your creative art work. Thank you
Scar!st fever is serious ,I am glad Emily is all good now. 🎨😍I love the double journal page. The background reminds me of an old old house with plaster falling off. So vintage and charming. Spectacular! 👍💕🌞🎨🌟
Glad that Emily is feeling so much better. I know Hannah and Emily both missed each other during the worst of emts illness. Lovely page! I cant wait to see the rice papers on your new site. Definitely have to buy some
This was very inspirational, Marta. So happy to hear that Emily is on the mend and that Hannah escaped being ill. I find that sometimes when I am creating and I feel like it is beautiful and it is done and then I walk away and when I come back, it isn't quite right and usually I see what I need to do to make it right, for me. I think a lot of the time it is perspective. Can't wait for your new shop to open. Take care and love to your family. Deborah
Yay! I love the wine book! 😁 You're going to have to make that book into a bestseller when it's finished... I'd put on my coffee table. You're page is beautiful & it's so fun to see you playing with art supplies that we haven't seen in a while... makes me want to use mine...happens everytime. I'm so glad to hear that your girls are feeling better. It's hard on everyone when 1 of the kiddos is not feeling well, but you've been through it. Let's hope that this year will be filled with good health. Sending you & your family my very best wishes! Xoxo 💖
I thought a scrap book is to give oneself ideas and inspiration. Then someone saw it and now I'm doing a scrap book on commission. They want to put it on a stand and turn the pages as they like. WHAT A SURPRISE. I'm really having fun with it, making each page in another style.
So beautiful. That rice paper is lush and blue's my favourite colour too. Glad to hear Emily is feeling better. A bit late to this video because my stupid life got in the way...rude! 😘😍😍
I just started working in my art journal. For the longest time, I was terrified to try mixed media. I figured (after talking to a few crafters and watching you🤗) that I just had to jump in and go for it. So thank you Marta for being a huge inspiration and motivation for me to finally just go for it! Plus, taking your bird class is what really got me to go for it. 🤗🤗 I LOVE your pages!!!! ❤️❤️ I love working with rice paper and napkins, so this page really speaks to me. Lol I love the question of if you really do love your work when you say you love it. I was wondering that too!🤣 xxx P.S. I’m so happy Emily is better!!❤️
Awww I love that =) And I like your "why not?" attitude so much. This is art, there are no rules how to do things. Art lives from experimenting and finding out about new techniques. Please, don't ever justify why you created something the way you did. You felt like it and that's fine. Btw: I like Rice Papers a lot, too. Got a whole bunch, enough for a lifetime. As for Emily and Hannah: Poor girls, glad Emily is better. As one of my teachers used ot say: You can't NOT communicate. So they communicated in another way than usually.
Newbie here, catching up! I successfully made my own modeling paste yesterday, so I'll be buying stencils next! Thank you so much for your instruction and encouragement. If you get to California someday, I hope to take a class from you personally.
Gorgeous Marta. Love you different approach just to see what happens. Thank you for a wonderful video yet again. Heading over to your FB page now to see what’s going on. All sounds very exciting 💖💞💓💗💕
I had scarlatina when I was at a high school dance and we met the band and I remember feeling OK, but I had a rash all over my body and face but I didn't want to leave the fun. I tried to hide it from my mom when I got home because I wanted to go out the next day, but she caught me and off to the doctor we went. LOL I had to stay in my bedroom, I had my own utensils and plates, etc because my dad had heart problems, and I wasn't allowed to come out of my room. Such great memories.
I think it is beautiful!! I’m so glad that Emily is better! What a beautiful story about Hannah throwing her toys at her sister! Precious!💕
Oh Marta I completely agree with you. If we don’t love our projects then how can we expect anyone else to. Some projects will always turn out better than others, but that’s just the way it happens sometimes. I have loved using rice papers recently too. Be proud of your efforts guys and just have fun creating. Beautiful page 💕💕💕
Love your work and how positive and uplifting you are in your video and so glad your daughter is doing better
Marta, you do it EVERY time! Every make starts lovely but about half way through I can’t seem to understand where you are going and how you are going to pull it all together. I should never doubt as somehow the Marta Magic takes over (just a little bit 😊) and ‘poof’ it always ends gorgeous!
Please tell Emily that all of her virtual aunties are so glad she’s feeling better and so proud of her and her class for being number 1!
Thank you Betty so so much ❤️ 😊 😍 ❤️ 💕
Love those colors together! With the mirror it's awesome..so glad Emily is doing better
WOW Emily that is so awesome. Such a great honor for you and your school. Hope you feel all better soon. Marta I so wish I had the confidence you have in you art skills. I love when you do these types of videos. It is amazing to watch you turn scraps into a work of art. Even when you step out of your comfort zone it comes out beautiful. TFS
💝So very beautiful and a different way to go from how you normally do things. So glad to hear Emily is feeling so much better. Love to you all.💝
A beautiful page Marta. Love that large flower in the center. So glad to hear that Emily is feeling better and I just noticed the lovely little Irish lilt on her voice. ❤️
Очень красиво! Цветовая гамма - супер! Very beautiful! The color scheme is super!
I'm happy to hear Emily is doing better. Please congratulate her and her school to a big win.
Beautiful! Blue is my favorite color. I hope Emily continues to get better. My mom had scarlet fever as a child and back then (probably early 1940’s), they quarantined the house. No one could go anywhere. Thankfully, they have better treatments today.

Cool spread 👌 and I Love that you challenge yourself and gone for BLUE 💙👌
Your enthusiasm pours in many colours upon the pages, igniting inspiration and courage. Your warmth and encouragement is like a warm hand on our shoulder as we open the door to creativity. May I ask do you ever have problems with glue sticks? Do you find the glue holds long term?
Thank you for giving so much time and making watching so magic. May Emily heal and be back to her special self soon. Thank you wonderful work☺❤
I can't believe it! I was going to ask you to collage in your wine book so I would work along in my soup book!💛💛💛
I adore this journal page Maremi, like always you are inspirational, so glad to hear Emily is on the mend as well.
Sweet sweet Marta. I am so happy that you upload your wonderful video. It's around 04:00 A.M. in Finland and I cannot sleep, so you are keeping me company 💜

Bless little Emily! Hope she recovers rapidly! Hope Hannah doesn't get it!
Love the page and the process!

Gorgeous Marta. Love you different approach just to see what happens. Thank you for a wonderful video yet again. Heading over to your FB page now to see what’s going on. All sounds very exciting 💖💞💓💗💕
I had scarlatina when I was at a high school dance and we met the band and I remember feeling OK, but I had a rash all over my body and face but I didn't want to leave the fun.
