I have never taken any art classes/ scrapbook class. and for the past 4 years I have tough myself by watching UA-cam videos. You definitely have influenced me on a lot when it comes to mixed media and canvas art. just wanted to say THANK YOU! I have found my true passion.,
You fully deserve to be put up for a fellowship of the Royal Academy. I value the time spent having the privilege of watching you work and sharing the result as much as the same amount of time at the Tate or the National Gallery. Thank you so much Ms. Rach.
Just when I think you have outdone yourself you do it again!!!! Rach, this is a long video, but hated to see it end! So many great techniques and products. Can't wait to try some of them! I keep sending your videos to my mixed media friends. I am so happy to have access to you and your work - LOVE what you do!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope the manufacturers give you lots of stuff to try - everything you touch turns to art gold!
All I can say is WOW! A true artist! I kept thinking you were done and you kept adding and adding and adding. It was so unique and so facinating to watch. Thanks so much for sharing your talent.
Have to tell you: I watch this video while I am on the treadmill so I have probably watched it 100 times! And you know what? It gets better every time!! I love it so much!! I am slowly gathering the supplies to try to create my own but will never tire of watching yours!!!
You are a real inspiration! I love all your work, you've show me me a way to express myself that I never knew existed. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful art work. Olivia xxx
I gotta say this one is one of my favorites of all your pieces of art. I keep telling myself I'm going to do something like this and have yet to sit down and do it. But I love watching this vid over and over. Btw, thank you for uploading.
BRILLIANT...it just boggles my brain cells how you are able to come up with all these different techniques to incorporate so brilliantly in your tag...as my Aussie cousins would say I am gobsmacked...
This is one of the videos that helped get me hooked on mixed media art. Very creative ways of using materials and images. I have watched this video numerous times and have learned something new every time.
Stumbled onto one of your videos a short while ago and have been Spellbound ever since!! Have been a paper crafter for many years and was lucky enough to attended a workshop with the lovely Tim Holtz this August, but since discovering your videos I have become a devoted fan! Your work is truly amazing and inspirational. Thank you for sharing your talent :)
Luv it, glad to see another video! You really know how to stretch your imagination with these products. Putting the umbrella man in a scary scene is brilliant.
Super glad to see you are back! As for the comment about the music, I love it. It let's me know that "Rachel is on" and I'm focused on the project, not the words. Even my husband recognizes it and will comment on it! Great project, as always! You are truly an inspiration!
I love it Rachel. So much detail! I love the gate, it truly looks Gothic and unique. The colors are perfect....not too dark. The piece came out perfect. Thanks for sharing.......Angie
Came back to revisit this video... Just love this.. I miss your mixed media work... you had such a unique vision. Thank you for another visit with my cup of coffee this morning.. Hugs! deb
Yahoo! What a treat to see a new video by you! I love watching you create your masterpieces and listening to your happy little tune that plays while you work. You are a very talented lady.
OMG!!!! here is another MASTERPIECE! I am so glad your back, you are such a talented lady. I love watching all your videos, you inspire me so much. I love all the techniques you put into this canvas...totally
Wow absolutely fantastic! I always love to watch you & your creative process & this time in green, my fave! It's so awesome! Thanks for all you do, Rach. Your so inspiring! TFS Lyn
You are so inspiring. I have a a dozen empty canvases and scrapbook supplies galore and I really wanted to try mixed media every time I see one of your videos. Thank you so much for sharing them!
:O) Rachel, I wish you had nothing else to do but make videos of projects. I selfishly want to watch them all day long! Thanks for sharing the ones you have made!
Wow! I love this. You blended in the picture so well with the background and then it was incredible to watch you keep adding & adding to the canvas and completely changing the picture from what I originally thought it was going to be. TFS - Lynn
Fabulous! I'm always delighted by your work, so much detail, so much inspiration, absolutely love it!! So pleased when you show us something new! Thank you! x
I almost jumped out of my chair when I got the notification about this upload! And once again I was amazed by the creative process of this super talented woman!!! Awesome!!!
It's amazing. I kept on thinking that you could not possibly add more and it was finished but then you went to add more and make it look as sophisticated as ever. Can't wait to try the rough bristled material and painting over it. Going to go try it now!
Awesome again! I love color and your use of it brings tears to my eyes. Seriously, not kidding. I learn from you as I try my hand at mixed media. I've always loved paper crafting and mucking around with inks. Now I'm extending my horizons with your inspiration. Thx. I'm gonna have to get some of those paints. They are delicious as you said.
Rachel! You are back I am thrilled I am a massive fan, Fiona knows how much, your work is amazing you inspire me so much, please bring us more? Huge hugs Jan x
This is impressive! You added so much more just when I thought it was finished. That was unexpected. You have an incredible eye and a fantastic imagination. And I could only wish for these kind of talent.
OMG You are finallly back!!! I am so happy to see you ar back. I checked often to see if I had missed anything. I hope you are well. This is just another fantastic project. You totally inspire me. Just love your work!! Glad you are back
Incredible work, thank your for sharing! Watching it all come together and change is somethin else! I kept thinking how this whole piece began with musical note tissue paper!
What fun I had watching you work and trying to guess what you had in mind for each element and being pleasantly surprised! I love all the effects. Halloween is great fun to create scary, gruesome stuff. I miss having a place and time to create anything. I do draw some though. Thanks for sharing and inspiring.
Yeah, we are sooooo glad to see you again. We have missed you so much! Love this project it is really inspiring us to get ready for Halloween. Can't wait to find the glaze, we buy everything you use because we then know how to use it ourselves. Looking forward to your next project. Thank you, Jan
I just joined an arts university and was unsure about picking mixed media arts but your work is so inspirational theres no way im not opting for it now! I could watch you create amazing pieces like this all day long.
I never tire watching your vids, because I always come away learning a new technique or a better way of creating something from scratch. You have such a unique and vivid imagination! Thanks so much for sharing your talent.....
Oh how happy it made me this morning when there was an alert on my email box that you had uploaded a new video! Beautiful work as always. I absolutely love your work. Thanks you for sharing it with the rest of us!
This is absolutely an amazing piece of artwork! I appreciate theme and the path you took it through. I especially appreciate that you were willing to share your whole process for this piece with us. I definitely learned a thing or two. Just fantastic work!
You are a very inspiring happy-time-bringing artist. I watch all of your videos over and over again...thx to you I started on mixed media and I love every minute I spend on my projects..btw ...I like your voice, too - no need not to comment at any time..
Hi, the Umbrella man and the fence are cut from "dies" - These are pieces of metal that have a shape etched into them. You need a die cutting machine to use them. Basically, You lay your card or paper over the top of the die & the sharp metal edges of it cut through the paper, and cut out your shape when you roll it through the machine. There are lots of demos on YT if you look for "How to use a Bigshot" How to use a Cuttlebug" - These are the most popular brands of machine.
OMG!!! You are amazing!!!. I'm in love with this peace, although I love all you other ones too. Love the way you post your projects, just music, no talking and making sure we can see exactly the materials you're using. Love it, love, love it.
This is amazing! Just when I thought it looked complete you added so much more. I never saw that coming. You have an amazing eye & a great imagination.
I love, love, love what you do. I want to do mixed media art so badly but I'm afraid to try. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and maybe one day I'll work up the courage to try it myself.
That is amazing! I love your ability to tie everything together in different and interesting ways - really inspiring! The layers and textures are perfect.
Hey Rach, its so good to see you :-) , & of course creating your magical & amazing pieces. Your art is truly inspiring. Tfs your fantastic talent with us all, & i can't wait to see you create your next piece. Take care, Hugs, Lee-Anne :-)

Thank you Linda. I haven't watched it in years, probably since I edited the video, lol. I do remember having a lot of fun working on it though :-)
The other day as my 4yo son was painting beside me at my art desk I realized he was humming the music from this video. We are both huge fans.
Outstanding!!!! You lost me right after you put the paper on the canvas. Such talent. Love it.
