    I LOVE your zine! I used to make all kinds of books with my 3rd graders and we even made those! I'd call it, at the end, after you make the cut, you make the edges "kiss"! HA, ha! Probably wouldn't get away with saying that today! I'm going to make some Valentine Day ones for the grandkids and send them! Thanks for remind me how to make these!!!!!

    I love how these turned out! It’s fun to make a mini project where you feel like you have completed something, while a whole big journal is a journey over time. I love the ‘roll the dice’ game! Can you share what was on your three little papers to help get me started? I’m new to art journaling so any tips I can get is a big blessing! Btw, I love your channel! You make everything seem do-able for us beginners! Thanks so much!

    This turned out great! It’s amazing how colors and patterns can turn out in smaller sizes! A hack that I came across but don’t remember where…they recommended using cornstarch or talcum powder to thicken runny paint. Immediately thought of you with your thin peachy pink. Haven’t tried it yet. My peachy pink seems to be ok. Thanks Erin❤️

    • @eb_mixedmedia
      @eb_mixedmedia  5 місяців тому

    That is a fun way to use some supplies or colors that I may not normally reach for -- I guess you could also use 2 dice and add the numbers to get additional techniques or colors. Really like your results!

    • @eb_mixedmedia
      @eb_mixedmedia  5 місяців тому

      Using additional dice might a good idea. That way you could have more colors, for example. I was also thinking you could do two colors for each number, like "peach AND/OR red". That would give you some more options and you could do weird combinations and see waht happens.
