Trust me, I LOOOOVE long videos because I can craft along with you while you talk. I totally agree about being inspired by other people but taking what fits you from it and not feeling the need to do exactly what they do. I watch *so* many different people's videos for the inspiration and "company" while I create, but my work always looks different because no one is exactly my style, know what I mean? Taking bits and pieces that you like and combining them is what art is all about!
I just love watching your process. These pages are all beautiful, I can't choose just one as my favorite. I really like watching in real time rather than sped up. Thank you as always for sharing.
I love listening to all your advice. Thank you for all you do for your followers. I watch many of your videos and have watched several more than once. Have a blessed day.
Your work is mesmerizing and has given me some direction....I'm 56 years old....love crafting, candle making, chocolate making, best of out of waste these are my activities and keep buying some craft articles whenever I go to the shop....thanks a ton for ur work...from India 🇮🇳 🙌👍🙂💐
I could honestly watch your videos such as this all day!! There is no such thing as too long. This is the only way to learn!! It's more like a TRUE tutorial or class. Please do many more like this. No speed up. I learned so much in this tutorial. Thank you. And by the way... Your English is beautiful..... Even better then some people I know where as English is their first language.
Thank you Marta for your kind, encouraging words to try, start and learn by trying our hand at art. Love your attitude and thank you for sharing, it's ok to go with learning as you go!! Muah!!!
I've just started to watch these break a blank page videos because I'm obsessed with trying to learn mixed media and art journaling. I love how you explain your process. I'm really trying to learn. I've been looking in our thrift stores (odd shops and 2nd hand shops) for supplies. I was fortunate to be gifted watercolor crayon destash from my friend and recently found a nice stash of about 50 tubes of watercolor paints of various companies as well as an assortment of brushes and assortment of watercolor paper pads for $30 USA. I believe I just need to try it. YOU INSPIRED ME SO much
I love that you're so real and honest while you are working. So brave to share our thoughts and vulnerabilities. Never boring, I love hearing your thoughts as you work through the "happy accidents", we call them "God nods". Those are the moments when we acknowledge the imperfection of man in light of the perfection of God. Native American art will normally include an imperfection that was planned into the work to show humility to The Creator.
I love when you think out loud. It really helps to see your process. I don't mind the long video because I was able to take a break in between each page. Please do more with the pages you have left. Thanks!
Thanks, Marta! Once again you give us so many ideas for mixed media projects. I take the opportunity here to tell you how thankful I am for your adverts on scrapiniec products. I ordered some of their products lately (I am lucky enough to have a sister-in-law who is Polish and so I could have them directly from Poland, and by the way, she is from Wroclaw too!!! ) and I am really satisfied with all the products i ordered: they are very intricate and beautiful! So keep on inspiring us with your beautiful projects! Hugs from the south of France
can I just say how much I am enjoying your videos. It's not only that I am learning so much about different techniques.... that is only the half of it! the other half is listening to your voice and more importantly to what you say, not only about art, but about life!! You are SO emotionally intelligent, and always full of positivity. My life changed drastically in March (i have a life-long condition which on and off leaves me disabled)... finding you has brought some much needed light into my life.... and inspiration, when I am limited in so many ways. I have a 9 year old daughter who also loves your videos, and it has given us a shared activity and a new focus. These things are the essence of life.. So, Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! sending my very best wishes... Holly :O)
I really appreciate your open and honest approach to the creative process. Thank you for time you take to make these wonderful videos and the willingness to share your knowledge with us. Your delightful way of describing things adds interest and encouragement for many people attempting to find their own inner "artist".
Beautiful journal pages - all 3 - you have such an artistic and creative spirit. Thanks for sharing your time and art with us! Your gifts from your parents are wonderful and special. I love listening to you chat during the process - wonderful video!
Very beautiful ideas !!!! My preference is the page with the cercles and the rectangles because we have a very pretty depth just with the black shadows! Bravo and thank you for this beautiful sharing ! ♥
Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou what a great way to spend my first day off in 9 days by watching all 4 parts of this amazing tutorials, Love your thought process to each and every project you bring us in to your creative space..... I have always enjoyed your you tube posts in the past, but this series on art journalling nearly 6 hours has had me glued to my lap top and feeling so inspired.........Xxxxxx
I don't think the video's are too long, at all. I enjoy you walking through the complete process. I look forward to the completion of the remaining backgrounds.
I love this Marta. You beginners videos are really useful for me and stopped me from giving up so many times! Breaking the blank pages is definitely the hardest part!
Marta your the inspiration I have been in search of. Thank you from the bottom of my Heart! You are truly the most informative teacher I've found! You feel like a lovely friend, someone that anyone can relate to. Your videos are guiding me in the a way no one else has touched in my journey for this yearning I have to create art in many mediums. It has been for awhile now, my desire to start a new love of my visions. You say and know all the right things to say as if it's coming from my own thoughts. I am new to all this! I have many supplies in my stash. As I've yet to do. I have recently done one journal page, lol with eye shadows and my home made art supplies I made my self from many diy videos. I enjoyed it so much. I am still building courage to use the many expensive supplies I have been waiting to use. That being said, your series of all the different types of art is giving me courage to jump in and start regardless of the outcome. your right. it's just a learning experience. sorry so long, just wanted to let you know how your information how products work helps so much-needed knowledge, as the products don't always have a great description of what you can use it for, especially if your new. What a helpful guilde you've shared in so many products! God bless and thank you for all you share 💖💜💕💙💚💛❤💞💕💗❣
Nice work! ❤️ A way to remember horizontal and vertical is by thinking of the horizon (which is landscape mode) and that is what horizontal is, therefore vertical is the opposite, (portrait mode, stood up.)
I absolutely adore your videos! I am new to mixed media art but you make it so interesting and fun. I love listening to you talk and watching you work. You have encouraged me to just go with it and have fun instead of stressing over it being perfect which is something I struggle with. Thank you for this series! I am thoroughly enjoying every moment!
wonderful pages, i love watching this. My major problem at this point is that I am spending too much time watching all of the inspirational videos and not enough time sitting at my art desk with all of my supplies doing art. I need to walk away from the laptop and sit at the art desk and just do it. Your work is so wonderful. Thank you.
i've done some work, but not journal, i've done some ATC's and some planner work, but I do want to do a journal spread again........... i get so addicted to watching and not doing........... keep posting great stuff for us please.
I'm not really a beginner anymore, more intermediate but I loved watching your 4 videos, I already knew most of your techniques but I loved hearing you talking while I was making my own pages, without following what you did but I loved having your company during this time and of course, you gave me some ideas, and I also discovered this Australian website which is great! I'm going to buy those stitches stamps. It was really great to hear you teaching to beginners because someday I'd like to teach art journalling to people too. Thanks a lot for those great videos. I especially appreciate that your videos is at normal speed because so many people makes videos very fast and it's not easy to see and understand well what people makes. I also really like hearing you chatting, I think everybody likes, you're pleasant to hear and as you're not a native English speaker it's easier for other not native English speaker to understand you (I'm French). Thanks a lot!
Oh Marta! Just LOVE all these pages! I adore the way your mind works and have so much fun watching you create. My favorite's are the light bulbs and I also like the big butterfly one. You are so talented. xoxo
super video, I learn so much from you. Especially I learn to "let go' and just have fun with the art supplies I already have. Thank you for that. I hope you continue making long video's , they are easier to learn from and your talk/work is inspirational.
Love your creativity. You are very inspiring. You are lovely funny and sweet. I loved all three pages. First I loved the purple/pink butterfly page, and then the lightbulb page and third the simple water colour. It's my goal to play with water colour as its a medium I have not tried yet. Thank you for the wonderful video!!
I love these videos. I have been art journalling 3 years now & I am stuck in a rut. I try not to replicate others work but find my art can be too samey. So it's great to get new ideas. Thank you for taking the time to make these.❤
I love listening to you, my mom is from Deutschland and is also bilingual. I remember one time we were visiting family and she was translating back and forth, got mixed up and spoke english to her family and german to me at dinner. We all started laughing. Your English is wonderful.
Marta, all 3 of those are wonderful, but my favorite is the light bulbs because I like those colors the best. Now I have to go back and re-watch how you made that background because I love it. Thanks so much for these videos. They are all so fun to watch. And remember, woodpeckers need love too (and maybe a page of there own with a woody background ;-)
Had to pause video to post this. I enjoy listening you talk and explain the ways and techniques. It shows your trueself and we get to see all perfections and mistakes as you are creating. It makes me feel like everybody is not perfect. Just in their own way.
Hi Martha, I am so glad to have come across your video on how to start a blank page. Journaling is something I have just begun with absolutely no idea and zero drawing skills. It is something I wish to try as I want to get out of my comfort zone ...and you are God sent ! You make it so so easy, no fuss nor fear. Just try it out, go for it and like you say, why not? I love, love, love your work and you truly seem like a person we all can hang out over coffee! Keep doing what you are doing and may you only get bigger and better. Much much love from Malaysia xx Ps: thank you for inspiring me
they are all fantabulous! it's wonderful to see the entire creative process! it really helps to see "mess ups" to see how to think of making them work as if they were done on purpose! Your videos are always an inspiration and I hope to share some of the things I've been working on that were definitely inspired by your talent!
love, love, love! watched tonight for pure enjoyment. will be watching again tomorrow to finish off the other 13. thanks Marta for being kind enough to share your knowledge with all of us.
Your video is the right length for me to create with you! Way cool! We have an Office Supply store called Staples in America. I love using 3 mm wood veneer pieces. I have good-sized one-word sentiments that are wood veneer. I need to check Tim Holtz stuff so I can design gentleman cards for my three sons, a grandson, and my brother. I hope I can find ephemera or stickers that he designed. I don't plan either. I just get out some materials (including papers, journaling cards, vintage papers, butterflies, gems, etc) that go together well in color. I am so excited these days by creating. I have two tall shelves full of my crafting stuff in my living room, but I create at my kitchen counter. It works so much better than my art table. I have set my art table up with papers and paper-cutter, my Sizzix Big Shot, my Xyron thingie, and my stamping supplies too. One of the tall shelves is next to my art table in my living room. One of the shelves is further away, but still wonderful too and accessible too. I live in an apartment and I live alone so things are set up precisely as I need them. Near the kitchen is a small dresser that holds art stuff on top of it. It is so handy. I have LOTS of old jewelry that I have to go through and put together a small metals tote. I have a larger basket (Yogi Bear picnic basket almost) that I still need to decide what to put in it. I think I might put burlap stuff in it, plus my ribbon. I will remember to use those items more if I have them in the basket. It is the only basket kept from a generous-sized basket collection. I could not keep everything when I moved into this one-bedroom apartment. I finally ordered heavy, white gesso from Prima on Amazon. You DO KNOW HOW TO WATERCOLOR!! (I just realized that this video was created in 2016. LOL I will leave the rest of what I wrote previously! I love your watercolor flowers and leaves/branches, your butterflies and BOHO creations. I wish that you would sell some of your drawn, cute creatures! I forget how long ago it was that you showed one or two of those. I love my Inktense pencils and I just ordered the Stabilo woodies 3 in 1...a set of 10. I cannot wait for those to get here. They are my Valentine's gift to me. When you do not have a significant other, you treat yourself. It is part of how I plan for Valentine's Day as it is so much about couples. My next item to save for is a digital camera so I can join the Cafe. Since you recorded this in 2016, I hope you still see this comment. No worries from here about your woodpecker. I had gotten past even hearing it anymore until you mentioned it now. Right now I hear it ALL THE TIME! Like living near a train and you learn to block it out, even when you sleep. I think some people are just too picky and need something to complain about. Sigh. I want to send just a smaller envelope of crafting items for your 2020 World Mystery challenge. It will not be much, but I want to do it!! I will email you so you can send me your address. Actually, you already have my email address, since it is now 2020. I need to start having oatmeal, since it is so good for you. The fruit thing is great! I sometimes fry one egg (it goes quickly) and have fruit with it. I need to check how processed Cream of Wheat is. In 1982 when I was pregnant with my oldest son, a cooked cereal named Wheat Hearts was so wonderful, but, like Whip N Chill (a dessert), it is no longer sold. Your body has gone so long without something to create energy after sleeping, especially if you do not have a tiny snack at bedtime. Coffee is great in moderation. Moderation in everything in this life tends to be a good idea. I am not proofreading this. I usually do edit, but I do not feel like it right now. I try to edit as I go, since that is what I did during my grad program. I like the product where you used your ATC prints. I wish you would do this at your online store. Yes, in 2020 Marta has her own store online YAY!
OMG! It's true... You're right... I just keep buying and buying supplies and tools and still I do not feel more confident to even start! Wow. Thank you.
Great video--so informative. I like all three but my favorite is the turquoise with the large butterfly. Thank you for talking through the entire process.
So amazing!! I really love the light bulbs one because I really love the uniqueness of the different elements and the colours are amazing!! I really love the 3-D effect that you created with the second page through using pencils to make the elements stand out more. I love them all are they have really help and inspired me and I will be using similar techniques within my own art work!! It's lovely to see you back doing videos again because I always love all your creations that you make!! :D
Marta this tutorial excited me, it opened my mind up to a different way of looking at background pages, I am starting to get lol. Thank you so much for the journey you are taking me on it's awesome.
Your work is so awesome. I havent found anyone I enjoy more than watching you. You do beautiful work. I love, love, love that tissue paper and I love butterflies. Beautiful. Thank you
I LOVE butterflies too. 😃 That's a nice pair of scissors from your father, and the bracelet your Mom gave you is beautiful.😃 No, I don't stand, when I create... I have problems with my heels, so I prefer to sit. Suzie sounds sweet. I love animals too, and especially dogs, too, but my husband is a cat person... so we have a cat. If you use water with acrylic paint, it helps slow the drying time... but it does weaken the colour, some. I love each of the pages you you created in this video.😃💕
Another awesome video - never stop talking - I love listening to you while I watch you create beautiful, inspiring artwork. I just had to order those 7 dots studio sentiment stickers - love them! I am now heading over to part 5!!! Really, really enjoying this!
Marta again another fantastic video, I loved watching you create and listening to your thoughts and process. Like you I have a huge love of butterflies and they seem to be my go, but today my favourite page was the light bulb page. Thank you for sharing with us x
I love them all but the one that is my favourite is the lightbulb one. It's awesome! Thank you for doing these pages Marta I'm learning such a lot from them. XxxxxX
I love watching you work. This video had tips I needed to hear about buying more without using what I have. I seem to always use the excuse that I "need" more before I get started. Thanks for sharing!!!
Hi Marta!! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video......learned a lot!! Love all 3 pages but my favorite (which surprised me) is the light bulb one!! Such a cool page!! TFS!! Hugs, Liz:)
I love all 3 of them. the turquoise is my favorite color, but I love them all. I don't mind at all long videos, I prefer them actually. and now you have shown me how pretty it is to use the butterflies. my lste mother had a butterfly tree that attracted the most beautiful butterflys, now I must use them yo remember my mother, thank you do much. your art is wonderful.
Thank you for your video. I love your words of encouragement and creativity. I really cannot say which one of the pages I like best . They are all wonderful and fun. You have given me the courage to go and just use my supplies. You were right when you said it's easy to just look at all your supplies and not be able to use them and to keep buying more thinking that it will help you to start your art. It drives me crazy. But now I am just going to go for it! Plus if I spend any more money I will be broke. :)
First watching your video, Marta:) You are an excellent Teacher! I am excited to begin! You are thoughtful to your followers. Thank You! Thank You! Looking forward to many hours of following You.
Brilliant!! love your videos, they are full-on inspiration and help so much. I never think I can do something then I watch you and it all makes sense and I know that I can do it! would watch you no matter how long the video 😊 Thank you for all that you do.
Your words, although a few years ago, ring true even today. I'm fearful/scared every time I try something. I understand more clearly now what you said at 38:03. I think when we follow someone on UA-cam, we're thinking they never make mistakes; never are in fear of the final product, etc., but the more I hear from other UA-camr's who are creating, they've learned from someone and were in fear, too. We try to be perfect in our craft; but perfection isn't reality in the creating world; trial and errors and learning from them is what's real. I'm hoping to be less hard on myself and enjoy what I have in front of me at the time. BLESSINGS to you and your family, MARTA. You're the 'real thing'.
They are all gorgeous, I loooooove butterflies, but if I had to choose just one, OH... NO... I CAN'T lol. Thank you once again for sharing your talent with us.
Love all three but i love the butterfly most and turquoise is my favorite color and the circle is gorgeous as well. You are an amazing artist. I just found you on youtube so I subscribed and will be watching all your videos. You are an inspiration.
Love, love watching your process, feels like i am visiting you in your studio. Was going to ask about your surface and then you mentioned about your unique idea. Can't wait for you to share.
You are an absolute JOY to watch and listen to on all your You Tube videos!!!
Trust me, I LOOOOVE long videos because I can craft along with you while you talk.

You are far from boring Marta! So much fun Watching you! Thank you for Sharing your experience with us!
I love the light bulb the most, but they are all gorgeous! Thank you!
Again stepping into the past refining my inspirations. Beautiful crafting as always. Thank you for a great journey. X👏🏻🥰🌟👑🌹👏🏾

This is a wonderful series of tutorials, Marta. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, insights, and your lovely art.
Lordy, Marta....everything u touch turns to fabulousness!!! Yes enjoying everything and there is no such thing as boredeom with any video u make.
Nice work! ❤️ A way to remember horizontal and vertical is by thinking of the horizon (which is landscape mode) and that is what horizontal is, therefore vertical is the opposite, (portrait mode, stood up.)

Oh Marta! Just LOVE all these pages! I adore the way your mind works and have so much fun watching you create. My favorite's are the light bulbs and I also like the big butterfly one. You are so talented. xoxo
Never stop talking! I love your rambles and learn so much from them!
Not at all boring! It's so much fun to listen to your creative process!
super video, I learn so much from you. Especially I learn to "let go' and just have fun with the art supplies I already have. Thank you for that. I hope you continue making long video's , they are easier to learn from and your talk/work is inspirational.

Hi Martha, I am so glad to have come across your video on how to start a blank page. Journaling is something I have just begun with absolutely no idea and zero drawing skills. It is something I wish to try as I want to get out of my comfort zone ...and you are God sent !
You make it so so easy, no fuss nor fear. Just try it out, go for it and like you say, why not?
I love, love, love your work and you truly seem like a person we all can hang out over coffee!
Keep doing what you are doing and may you only get bigger and better.
Much much love from Malaysia xx
Ps: thank you for inspiring me
Love, Love, Love watching your creative process!! TFS
Favorite??? Love them all. Perhaps the big Butterfly, then lightbulb, then small butterflies. You're helping this "newly" to be inspired. Thanks!
I could listen to you talk all day long! Great info and it makes me happy to watch you create!
they are all fantabulous! it's wonderful to see the entire creative process! it really helps to see "mess ups" to see how to think of making them work as if they were done on purpose! Your videos are always an inspiration and I hope to share some of the things I've been working on that were definitely inspired by your talent!
Love the bulbs. Just had to treat myself to some of those chipboard pieces. You are a fab brand ambassador and, of course, a fab teacher/artist.
love, love, love! watched tonight for pure enjoyment. will be watching again tomorrow to finish off the other 13. thanks Marta for being kind enough to share your knowledge with all of us.
Your video is the right length for me to create with you! Way cool! We have an Office Supply store called Staples in America. I love using 3 mm wood veneer pieces. I have good-sized one-word sentiments that are wood veneer. I need to check Tim Holtz stuff so I can design gentleman cards for my three sons, a grandson, and my brother. I hope I can find ephemera or stickers that he designed.
I don't plan either. I just get out some materials (including papers, journaling cards, vintage papers, butterflies, gems, etc) that go together well in color. I am so excited these days by creating. I have two tall shelves full of my crafting stuff in my living room, but I create at my kitchen counter. It works so much better than my art table. I have set my art table up with papers and paper-cutter, my Sizzix Big Shot, my Xyron thingie, and my stamping supplies too. One of the tall shelves is next to my art table in my living room. One of the shelves is further away, but still wonderful too and accessible too. I live in an apartment and I live alone so things are set up precisely as I need them. Near the kitchen is a small dresser that holds art stuff on top of it. It is so handy. I have LOTS of old jewelry that I have to go through and put together a small metals tote. I have a larger basket (Yogi Bear picnic basket almost) that I still need to decide what to put in it. I think I might put burlap stuff in it, plus my ribbon. I will remember to use those items more if I have them in the basket. It is the only basket kept from a generous-sized basket collection. I could not keep everything when I moved into this one-bedroom apartment.
I finally ordered heavy, white gesso from Prima on Amazon. You DO KNOW HOW TO WATERCOLOR!! (I just realized that this video was created in 2016. LOL I will leave the rest of what I wrote previously! I love your watercolor flowers and leaves/branches, your butterflies and BOHO creations. I wish that you would sell some of your drawn, cute creatures! I forget how long ago it was that you showed one or two of those.
I love my Inktense pencils and I just ordered the Stabilo woodies 3 in 1...a set of 10. I cannot wait for those to get here. They are my Valentine's gift to me. When you do not have a significant other, you treat yourself. It is part of how I plan for Valentine's Day as it is so much about couples.
My next item to save for is a digital camera so I can join the Cafe. Since you recorded this in 2016, I hope you still see this comment.
No worries from here about your woodpecker. I had gotten past even hearing it anymore until you mentioned it now. Right now I hear it ALL THE TIME! Like living near a train and you learn to block it out, even when you sleep. I think some people are just too picky and need something to complain about. Sigh.
I want to send just a smaller envelope of crafting items for your 2020 World Mystery challenge. It will not be much, but I want to do it!! I will email you so you can send me your address. Actually, you already have my email address, since it is now 2020.
I need to start having oatmeal, since it is so good for you. The fruit thing is great! I sometimes fry one egg (it goes quickly) and have fruit with it. I need to check how processed Cream of Wheat is. In 1982 when I was pregnant with my oldest son, a cooked cereal named Wheat Hearts was so wonderful, but, like Whip N Chill (a dessert), it is no longer sold. Your body has gone so long without something to create energy after sleeping, especially if you do not have a tiny snack at bedtime. Coffee is great in moderation. Moderation in everything in this life tends to be a good idea.
I am not proofreading this. I usually do edit, but I do not feel like it right now. I try to edit as I go, since that is what I did during my grad program. I like the product where you used your ATC prints. I wish you would do this at your online store. Yes, in 2020 Marta has her own store online YAY!
Love them all but my favorite is the bulb page. I love the industrial look and the colors.
OMG! It's true... You're right... I just keep buying and buying supplies and tools and still I do not feel more confident to even start! Wow. Thank you.
It's time maybe? Time to start 😉❤️⌚ you can do it!!
@@MaremiSmallArt 😁😁😁 Thank you!!!!! ❤️
Great video--so informative. I like all three but my favorite is the turquoise with the large butterfly. Thank you for talking through the entire process.
You are not boring me. I am breaking the blank page and loving it.
So amazing!! I really love the light bulbs one because I really love the uniqueness of the different elements and the colours are amazing!! I really love the 3-D effect that you created with the second page through using pencils to make the elements stand out more. I love them all are they have really help and inspired me and I will be using similar techniques within my own art work!! It's lovely to see you back doing videos again because I always love all your creations that you make!! :D
Absolutely beautiful Martha. Loved both projects. Thank you. Una. 👏👏👏👏👏💕🇮🇪
I love your long videos! They are so informative! LOVE, LOVE , LOVE your work! Thank you so much for sharing.
Marta this tutorial excited me, it opened my mind up to a different way of looking at background pages, I am starting to get lol. Thank you so much for the journey you are taking me on it's awesome.
Your work is so awesome. I havent found anyone I enjoy more than watching you. You do beautiful work. I love, love, love that tissue paper and I love butterflies. Beautiful. Thank you
awww you are so kind ! Thank you xx :)
I LOVE butterflies too. 😃
That's a nice pair of scissors from your father, and the bracelet your Mom gave you is beautiful.😃
No, I don't stand, when I create... I have problems with my heels, so I prefer to sit.
Suzie sounds sweet. I love animals too, and especially dogs, too, but my husband is a cat person... so we have a cat.
If you use water with acrylic paint, it helps slow the drying time... but it does weaken the colour, some.
I love each of the pages you you created in this video.😃💕
Another awesome video - never stop talking - I love listening to you while I watch you create beautiful, inspiring artwork. I just had to order those 7 dots studio sentiment stickers - love them! I am now heading over to part 5!!! Really, really enjoying this!
Carole Ann i am so happy.you are enjoying the series ♡♡♡♡♡
Carole Ann join our new group on Facebook Maremi's Creative Cafe! !!!
Love all 3 pieces. I enjoy all your videos. You are so talented and give much inspiration to me! Live you!
Thank you for sharing your talents.
Thank you for your always positive messages! I liked all of the pages but the last one was my very favorite of three.
Marta again another fantastic video, I loved watching you create and listening to your thoughts and process. Like you I have a huge love of butterflies and they seem to be my go, but today my favourite page was the light bulb page. Thank you for sharing with us x
Thanks for your long video and for beautiful tutorial. I love the blue page and the purple page with the butterfly.
It's a glad to see you in UA-cam. Thank you for your time for us. Hugs
I love them all but the one that is my favourite is the lightbulb one. It's awesome! Thank you for doing these pages Marta I'm learning such a lot from them. XxxxxX
I love, love, love the light bulb one🤗
I love watching you work. This video had tips I needed to hear about buying more without using what I have. I seem to always use the excuse that I "need" more before I get started. Thanks for sharing!!!
Love the light bulbs collage All are beautiful.
Stunning ! just love watching you create.......you are amazingly talented !!
Hi Marta!! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video......learned a lot!! Love all 3 pages but my favorite (which surprised me) is the light bulb one!! Such a cool page!! TFS!! Hugs, Liz:)
I love all 3 of them. the turquoise is my favorite color, but I love them all. I don't mind at all long videos, I prefer them actually. and now you have shown me how pretty it is to use the butterflies. my lste mother had a butterfly tree that attracted the most beautiful butterflys, now I must use them yo remember my mother, thank you do much. your art is wonderful.
Love your talking and the way you talk yourself through the page!!
Thank you for your video. I love your words of encouragement and creativity. I really cannot say which one of the pages I like best . They are all wonderful and fun. You have given me the courage to go and just use my supplies. You were right when you said it's easy to just look at all your supplies and not be able to use them and to keep buying more thinking that it will help you to start your art. It drives me crazy. But now I am just going to go for it! Plus if I spend any more money I will be broke. :)
First watching your video, Marta:) You are an excellent Teacher! I am excited to begin! You are thoughtful to your followers. Thank You! Thank You! Looking forward to many hours of following You.
Marta, you are a desing very special...I love all your works and videos! Thanks for your disponibility!
I love your ideas, and your gentle inspiration for us to art journal. Thank you, thank you.
You have so much love and art to share with the world.
Adoro todo lo que haces!!! Eres una fuente de inspiración para mí :) Gracias por pasar tu tiempo con nosotros compartiendo toda esa belleza :D
Thanks for another video! Love watching and listening to you! Your pages are always so great!
Love your Art,your colors are always matching and your teaching are great
Love, love, love them, Marta! You are magical! Thanks so much for sharing your talent and your art with us!
Brilliant!! love your videos, they are full-on inspiration and help so much. I never think I can do something then I watch you and it all makes sense and I know that I can do it! would watch you no matter how long the video 😊 Thank you for all that you do.
I absolutely love listening to your stories and thank you for your inspiration, encouragement, and wonderful ideas.
I love your creativity. Your art is fantastic
All 3 are wonderful, but, I love the one with the light bulbs.
i was enjoying picturing a woodpecker outside your window. :)
I'm sooooo in love with that pages omg!!!!! I'm so happy that I found your videos!!! You are the best! love love love
plus, I'm a little bit of improving my English skills with your vids haha
You are SOOO talented! Thanks for the inspiration. 😊
Your words, although a few years ago, ring true even today. I'm fearful/scared every time I try something. I understand more clearly now what you said at 38:03. I think when we follow someone on UA-cam, we're thinking they never make mistakes; never are in fear of the final product, etc., but the more I hear from other UA-camr's who are creating, they've learned from someone and were in fear, too. We try to be perfect in our craft; but perfection isn't reality in the creating world; trial and errors and learning from them is what's real. I'm hoping to be less hard on myself and enjoy what I have in front of me at the time. BLESSINGS to you and your family, MARTA. You're the 'real thing'.
Love the one on the right with the big butterfly, so pretty. Well, they all are
love all these pages Marta...my favourite if I had to pick is the last one with the light bulbs.... so different! :-)
They are all gorgeous, I loooooove butterflies, but if I had to choose just one, OH... NO... I CAN'T lol. Thank you once again for sharing your talent with us.
:) Thank you so much !!! :)
Love all three but i love the butterfly most and turquoise is my favorite color and the circle is gorgeous as well. You are an amazing artist. I just found you on youtube so I subscribed and will be watching all your videos. You are an inspiration.
So happy to see the completed pages!!
Love, love watching your process, feels like i am visiting you in your studio. Was going to ask about your surface and then you mentioned about your unique idea. Can't wait for you to share.
So beautiful. Love the colors, shadi g and white.
Marta, of course I love them all!!! But... I think the one I love the best is the big Butterfly. I love all your creations.
I loved this video, and found it to be inspiring,encouraging, and fun! I like how you say use what you have.
