OMG!!! You always bring us the most unique creations! As an artist I adore mixed media and all types of layering. You're correct, that is what gives your pieces an authentic aged look. I get so much inspiration watching you create. Your videos help me get my creative juices flowing. I appreciate you sharing your time and talents. Always looking forward to see what you create for us in your next video. Until then take care and keep creating 😊
I love your process. I am new at diy, but watching you create has taught me to just go for it. I love the dark and moody. Thank you for sharing and for giving me the encouragement to try something different. 😎😎
Everything is pretty, but I'm not really into dark decorations for Christmas. I know it is trending and all, but it just isn't me. I think you did an excellent job and they did turn out looking the way they are suppose to. You have such a wonderful eye and talent for doing this kind of DIYs. I won't be doing any of these, but it was fun to watch how you do it. You explain everything so well and you make it look so easy to get this look. I love your videos.
Thank you, I completely understand. I love Red and Green for Christmas with some dark ornaments. I need to do a video of how I incorporate dark undertones with the Red and Green. I do not do completely dark and moody for anything. I always incorporate it as an undertone. Thank you for your wonderful comment and the feedback!!!
I love projects with a lot of layers or steps. That's how I create. My motto is the more you put into it the more you will get of it. Lots of steps or layers creates depth, interest and the most beautiful, high end looking decor in my opinion. I feel like layers are extremely important when you are trying to reproduce the look of natural age and patina. Naturally aged items took years to look that way. The least we can do is put time into any item we are trying to give the same look. There is a big and obvious difference between painting something and distressing it with sand paper or paint and a project that has layers and depth creating a more authentically aged looking piece. I still watch some creators who only sand or paint the edges for inspiration but that just isn't how I create. For others who may not like all of the steps, UA-cam allows us to fast forward for that reason. I most definitely use fast forward or even mute when its necessary for me to stay engaged or follow along. We all create differently. We all have different tastes and preferences as we are supposed to. Thats what art is. I for one, will necer comp,ain about the steps. I enjoy watching all you do to achieve the look you are going for. It takes time to bring the things in our heads to fruition. The items you created today were STUNNING. I especially loved the last 2. Thank you for sharing.
I use tracing paper all the time. I am definitely going to make some of these envelopes. I like the accidental mix up on the leaf stamps really looks good. You get my stamp of approval. Merry Christmas
These really work for a more woodsy/candlelit “romantic” Holiday look, or for a more masculine flavor of decor. Overall the palette leans a bit more muted for my holiday decor, but if I was changing it up, I’d love these with delicate led strings of lights, fir boughs, and birch. Really, really cool inspiration. Going to think about this ✨💖✨
These are all fantastic. I was a little skeptical about the deer patterned ones but they did turn out pretty recognizable as well as cute. Seeing you use the waxes and alcohol inks these ways makes me really want to try some of them myself - I've never worked with either. Thanks for the mess warning! I am also very messy when I'm transforming things, and I can tell when I get into the inks in particular I should just understand that whatever I'm working in and on are probably going to be permanently marked. I would love to see more dark & moody Christmas decor - I tried to make some cardboard gingerbread houses, but wound up calling them 'burnt gingerbread' because I used darker colors. Thank you for posting these!
I just got 6 huge gold ornament balls that are LED lighted on the inside for next to nothing on Amazon and needed ideas, so thank you ❤❤❤ Love ALL OF THESE!
Boy, I have some of the same ornament diy's pinned that you have. Thanks for sharing the techniques used to achieve these gorgeous looks! I could see using some of these finishes on other thrifted Christmas decor. They are all a must try for the holidays! 🎄
Wonder if it would've been easier if u had put a few drops of the liquid ink in a sandwich bag & then kinda shook the ornament around in there. Thinking that would've given u more of the look u were going for. ?? Just a thought
These ornaments turned out so nice. Is there an easy and quick way to take the cheap shatterproof ornaments and cut the shine down on them? I bought silver ornaments that I want to look aged. Thank you!
Yes, add DIY black or dark wax and they will go Matte or if you don't want to change the color but just make them flat; buy Rustoleum Chalked Matte Clear coat to brush on or a Matte Clear coat of any kind in a spray can. It will make them flat immediately once it dries. Hope this helps.
Acrylic inks? Did you mean alcohol inks? I was thinking there must be some new product i needed! Lol! Layers are great but I'm never a fan of white wax. Im not actually sure if i liked these for Christmas. Maybe for halloween! You really worked hard to create these! It's inspiring to see non tradirional colors for the holidays! Thanks!
I used Rustleum Matte Clear Coat but I think Mod Lodge would be fine to use, might even make them look better. I would use the Matte not Glossy though. Thank you!
Yes, it was the Rustoleum Chalked Ultra Matte Clear Coat, it is in a glass jar. I took it out of its can. It looks white in the jar but dries clear and very flat. Here is the link on Amazon: amzn.to/3PVej85
For someone who dislikes this aesthetic, why would you take the time to watch a video entitled “… Dark and Moody Christmas Decor” AND leave such a comment? I can only guess that you are having a crappy day and wanted to pass that negativity forward. Well done. 💩
@@myhappydog I see what you’re saying yeah why come on and comment but some people follow a person and then see other Contant and then they just want to make a comment about what they’re interested or not interested in personally I am very excited about this and I haven’t even watched the video yet, so bring on all the dark and moody Christmas and Victorian and Go goth… I can do hard pass on pink Halloween. Lol

I absolutely love your ornaments! I want to try the deer ornaments and I LOVE the powdered look trees and ornaments!!!!
Thank you!
These are all awesome! I never thought of painting the poinsettia!
Thanks so much! 😊

I totally agree! Thank you for the comment and added tips!
I never thought to use salt wash dry like that... Reminds me of Dixie dirt but in white! Brilliant idea girl ❤
Thank you so much and yes I saw the Painted Photographer do this, I always forget to mention things that I see other people do!
I loved them all. My favorites were the tim holtz alcohol ink balls. Good job.
Thank you so much!
I absolutely love it!!!!!
Thanks so much! 😊
These are beautiful and so different!! Not my style, but I love them and would love to make some!!🖤🖤 Tfs

Thank you for the idea!
I love the Christmas trees! I. We’d to try that technique… I’m behind the trend!
Girl, I was so excited to do them! I wanted to do a bunch in different sizes!
@@CozyJunkStudio I missed where you got the trees. They were perfect for that look!
They came from a store called Mighty Dollar, but they were a closeout from Target Dollar spot per the sticker on the bottom.@@lateknightcreations
Beautiful!??????
Great video friend! ❤️

Where is your booth in Hudson. I live in Hudson. I'm enjoying your videos. ❤😊
Hello neighbor! I have one at Antique Corner in Hudson. Thank you for the question and comment!
I use baking soda
Acrylic inks? Did you mean alcohol inks? I was thinking there must be some new product i needed! Lol! Layers are great but I'm never a fan of white wax. Im not actually sure if i liked these for Christmas. Maybe for halloween! You really worked hard to create these! It's inspiring to see non tradirional colors for the holidays! Thanks!
Yes, Liquitex Acrylic Inks, look them up, they are awesome!!!
@@CozyJunkStudio oh my goodness, really!? Thanks!
Beautiful. Question was that Modge Podge that u used on the trees so the powder would stick? Tia
I used Rustleum Matte Clear Coat but I think Mod Lodge would be fine to use, might even make them look better. I would use the Matte not Glossy though. Thank you!
I meant when u dipped the brush in the white liquid
Yes, it was the Rustoleum Chalked Ultra Matte Clear Coat, it is in a glass jar. I took it out of its can. It looks white in the jar but dries clear and very flat. Here is the link on Amazon: amzn.to/3PVej85
Very cool ideas. Quite a masculine look if I am still allowed to use that word in this woke world.
Thank you!
Sorry,just not my style.
Dark and moody for Christmas??Hard pass.

@@CozyJunkStudio you are a class act.
Really I jumped on it right away. I was like yes please 🙏 by the way, Victorian era was dark and moody. Still held a lot of Christmas and spirit.

🌲 I like the terra-cotta GREEN trees. Where did you say you got those again? 19:30
Mighty Dollar. Thank you.
