LorriMarie this piece of art is so awesome. Thank you for simplifying the process. Your steps of instruction are so inspiring. I can wait to start gathering my little piles of focal pieces and ephemeral. I have a goal. You are so much fun. Love you, big.
You are the queen of mixed media, LorriMarie. You inspire me daily and I have completed several of your ideas and they have come out very well. Not half as professional as yours but I am pleased enough with them as a first attempt. Love, love, love the magazine collage, so restful and relaxing to do. You are genius. Thank you so much.

LorrieMarie, I am so glad that you make your art using stuff that you already have or inexpensive products that you can buy at Walmart. I have very little income but lots of magazines, old books and make my own Modpodge. You show that it's possible to make really creative art with very little money spent. Thanks so much. Cindy

I don't understand thumb-downing (or down-thumbing). I wouldn't do it except for something disgusting, foolish or violent. And why would I watch disgusting, foolish, violent videos? That would be my bad. Just keep making your art your own way and ignore the downers. Let's just be happy in ourselves, and be grateful to the artists and teachers who delight us for free. If you're happy and you know it, get your thumbs up!
thank you so much for the supportive comment mara! i have lost my sensitivity to the thumbs-donwers...lol....it is funny because UA-cam does not care if it is thumbs up or a thumbs down...i still get credit for someone responding to my videos....so there you mighty thumbs downers....i am still the winner! lol...i have to say that some of my videos are better than others mara...and i am okay with that! see you on the table mara!!!
LorriMarie Jenkins: You're wecome and Im loving that you're the winner thumbs up or down. UA-cam turns the lemons for you. Fantastic! Makes my day! Thank you! Lol
I wondered why you left such a large border of whit around your focal point but then you outlined in paint saving you all that fussy cutting. I'm all for that. You are a great teacher and you demeanor and voice are so calming. Thanks I will include some of your techniques in my work.
LorriMarie, I learned many new mixed media techniques in this video. Firstly, I like how you organize your collage pieces. I have been trying to figure out a system for a long time to no avail. I will try this, I know it will work best. Secondly, I love how I learned about the layering process. Underpants (love it when you say that) building from least favourite to favourite. Thirdly, I really like the tearing technique, how to get the bevel on the back. This will be a useful technique in my future pieces. Once again, thank you for sharing your gifts and talents out in the world. You are a naturally born teacher.
Sandee.....you have made my day! thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful comment! i love creating the videos and i am grateful (and honored) that they are helping you in your mixed media journey!!! it sounds like you have gotten some good tips from the tutorials...that makes my heart sing! see you on the table!

Love that! Can’t wait to try! I like how you kept the video short. Wish you had a closer shot of it so we could see all the layers and patina and marks better.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your work!!! My husband and I were walking in Benicia last night and saw your work at a gallery there and I fell in love! I wanted to buy something, but I hit my art budget yesterday morning...lol! I am an artist myself, beginning of sorts and very interested in mixed media. Thank you for putting these videos out there and I will be contacting you to see if you do workshops! ❤️❤️❤️
oh my gosh.....wait a minute...you saw my work? you were in benicia??? where the heck do you live? oh my goodness what a small world!!! i am part of the Gallerie Renee Marie so you will always find my art work there....and next sunday i will be gallery sitting....so...if you are in town...come by for a visit...how amazing is this! i am planning a little pop-up workshop soon...would be great if you could come!!! see you on the table luvwaltdisney!

Absolute beautiful! 😍 I wanna start collecting collage elements now, maybe I should go through the magazine pile before I recycle it? 😄 haha and you tattoos as well! Just so whimsical and gorgeous ☺️

thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment! i am so glad you are enjoying the videos...i have a blast creating them! see you on the table....
I am! I’m currently a visual multimedia student in South Africa, and have been binge watching your videos👏🏽 I find so many of your techniques useful, as I create my collages then scan them and continue working on them digitally... and then repeat! Your approach to the work also helped as I can at times be overly critical which hinders my process... ever since I heard you say “play” my entire approach changed and the quality as well as my production rate went right up... so again, thank u♥️
@@metalsoup6950 woot woot! i love your comment! thank you...yes...i play! and play, and play....the imperfections become the perfections in an art piece for me...thank you again for taking the time to leave a comment...go create, go play, go have fun!!!!!
Hello. I have some questions if I may. I don't understand the purpose of cutting in pieces the book pages and even using them since they got lost in the process, same with the dark color too since it practically disappeared with the green to a point, it had to be bring back with other color. Thanks
oh my goodness genoveva...i love your questions! each layer...whether it is seen or unseen...adds more and more energy..if you were to see this piece in person you would be able to feel the difference between a piece with one layer and a piece with many many layers...each layer gives me the ability to bond with the piece and get to feel where the piece wants to go...if i sat down with an 'idea' and completed a 'flat' piece it would not hold the energy that a piece that 'creates' itself...what i can say is....give it a try...the layers give the art piece more energy and the layers will allow you to 'play' with the piece...i hope i answered your questions genoveva...go create, go play, go have fun!!!
This was wonderful and simple as well. I love art that can be done by most anyone! Congratulations, LorriMarie, for offering the best classes on mixed media with an emphasis on including anyone and everyone!
what a lovely comment.....thank you so much! i love creating the videos....i would make one a day if i could....but it literally takes me all day.....create, film, edit, post....sooooooo much fun! see you on the table ruth ann!
angie...thank you! my ink is ALL OVER....up my legs, down my chest, down my back and on my arms...if i went to nudist camps i would look soooo cool...lol! glad you are playing with us!!!
lol....i would have handsome hubby make me a 'cradle' style frame, turn it inside out and i would glue the art piece in that frame...then i could hang it with D-rings...if that is not clear....look up cradle frames....amzn.to/3enANxl i hope that helps....see you on the table!

@@lorrimarie2002 I'm gonna hit a brick wall soon. My magazine stock are so bland and mundane and I'm really running out of fun things for focal points. 😣 Doing my best to make do with what I have tho 👍
Hi LorriMarie! Thank you for this video and for sharing your creativity. I'm just about to start experimenting with collage. I was wondering what is the difference between mixing Varnish or Glazing with the acrylic paint? Thanks a lot and have a lovely day! Silvia
i am not sure there is any difference in the finished project silvia...i think i was playing with 'glazing' i am a big fan of mixing things...lol! welcome to our village of creative people here...we have over 1,000 videos...so....go create, go play, go have fun!!

hi you are amazing...i always love collages...but with u i learned a lot of new things...i love how u go step by step. i need a help...i have multiple copies of same image like about some 20-30 of them....and i wanted to use it for collage ...can u help? or if not collage then how i can use them? please show some light...thanks in advance.

Hi sweetie....when making a art journal with watercolor paints and such...I hear you are supposed to use Gel Matte medium? What is Gel matte? What does it do? Is it like Elmers Glue?
@@lorrimarie2002 thank you...ok...I got some....and also white gesso🤷🏼♀️. I guess gesso is for texture? Lol....oh my....I’m a mess! My first journal book is gonna be fun!❤️❤️
@@tinyfemaleshooter8756 we are all a mess tfs...lol...gesso can be used for texture yes...it is used in so many ways...to cover things up...calm things down...it is used as a base before adding any paint...and yes...texture...you can make texture paste too....which is fun...equal amounts of gesso and modpodge and enough baby powder to create a paste...i hope that is helpful and not confusing tfs...go create, go play, go have fun!!!
Hi LorrieMarie Quick question can you use ModPodge as the glaze and have the same effect? I have added color to MP that seemed ok. Your thoughts?? Just trying not to buy something else.
you betcha shelle...there is another video that talks about that very thing...who knows which one...lol...anyway...add some modpodge to your acrylic...the glazing effects will be perfect...and it will be sealed too...thank you for joining me on the table shelle...go create, go play, go have fun!!!
So much fun! I am new to your channel and new to mixed media. I am primarily a fabric artist doing a lot of eco printing and dyeing. I also love watercolor. So, this is new territory for me and really fun! Would a Stabilo pencil be similar to a watercolor pencil? Or, perhaps water soluble graphite?
welcome kathryn....in my world....nothing is like a stabillo 8046...but, of course i encourage you to use what you have....thank you so much for leaving me a comment! see you on the table!!!
I have cutcut/torn/focal points stuffed in every corner of my house and I can't throw them out JUST IN CASE I need them some day. Do you just save the best or do you have secondary stashes besides the envelopes you carry? Help, I'm drowning!!
anndriver...what a great question! we, as mixed media artists tend to 'over save'....let's see if i can be as grounded as possible to answer this! i have art magazines galore! i have to 'weed' them out periodically....then i have a stash of things that i think are pretty cool....the things that i have cut out and torn out...or whole pages...i dig through those for inspiration...about ever 3 months (maybe more frequently) i toss out the focal points that i have looked at several times but have not used...they were interesting at one time...but they have lost their appeal....so....short answer gone long...i keep some....i toss some....i like to pick new images....the focal points are the hardest part of the mixed media that i do...the backgrounds take as long as the search for 'that perfect focal point'....soooo...take a breath and purge out the ones that have lost their luster....OR....use them in the underpants!!!!!! see you on the table!
LorriMarie Jenkins .....thanks so much, that makes sense! And thanks for your videos-at the age of 62 I’ve finally been given permission to spit on my finger and rub it on my artwork (I was going to say “underpants”, but we both know how well THAT would go over.) A whole new world of “I’m okay with that” has opened up for me. Thank you!!!!
yay anndriver....thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment...i am so glad you can finally spit on your fingers and smudge! we do not even have to stay in any lines....right? and i now say underpants any time i want...i think youtube has gotten used to me! see you on the table ann....
oh joyce....the underpants are the first layer on the substrate....i hope that answers your question....we love underpants here! lol...see you on the table joyce!!
Wonderful!!! I bought gloss mod podge, is that going to be a problem? Should I use Matte Medium instead? I am learning soooo much from your videos!!! Thank you so much!!!!
so you have gloss modpodge...can you take it back? if not...use it! it is a bit shinier than the the matte modpodge....and it 'may' take a bit longer to cure....but yep...use what you have! thank you doris for leaving a comment/question....it makes me feel useful...lol! see you on the table doris!
it is to make the acrylic paint more translucent with out effecting the integrity of the paint.....i hopes that helps answer your question kim.....see you on the table....
I'm going to try blending with acrylic along the edge of the focal point...it works well. Usually, I fussy cut, but it doesn't work with some images that are in the hairy, fibre-type category.
I just discovered your videos...I am looking forward to trying some of your methods...I have been involved in acrylic poor recently...some of the supplies you using are not in my studio...so I will have to collect some new supplies....I have spent a lot of time in Vallejo...my grand daughter moved there when she was only 6 months old...they currently live in American Canyon..she is trying to decide which east college she wants to attend...Her name is Audrey Benton...she is the girl who was bitten by the snake in Belize...her recovery is remarkable..Toni Thompson

I have very little income but lots of magazines, old books and make my own Modpodge. You show that it's possible to make really creative art with very little money spent. Thanks so much. Cindy
oh my gosh cindy....that is the magic of creating...for me anyway...use what you have..i am so grateful to be able to use magazines, books and 'leftovers'....thank you so much for your comment! see you on the table cindy!
Love the whimsy. Enjoyed the tutorial. Thank you!

Oh what a wonderful collage! Such fun! Tfs
thank you gg....i love collages! the more 'stuff' i can put on a picture...and the sillier it becomes...the more i like it! lol....see you on the table my friend....
How fun! I have learned so much from you already. Thank you and may God continue to bless you with creativity and fun...
sharon....i am merely the vessel....god is the creative one...right? i am so glad you are in 'our village'...and i am glad you are learning some fun things to try...layers, layers, layers baby! see you on the table..
Amazing, love, love looooove these collage videos, really fun stuff that looks beautiful! Very insipiring:)
oh noface....i am here for inspiration only...so.....go create, go play, go have fun!!!
I don't understand thumb-downing (or down-thumbing). I wouldn't do it except for something disgusting, foolish or violent. And why would I watch disgusting, foolish, violent videos? That would be my bad. Just keep making your art your own way and ignore the downers. Let's just be happy in ourselves, and be grateful to the artists and teachers who delight us for free. If you're happy and you know it, get your thumbs up!
thank you so much for the supportive comment mara! i have lost my sensitivity to the thumbs-donwers...lol....it is funny because UA-cam does not care if it is thumbs up or a thumbs down...i still get credit for someone responding to my videos....so there you mighty thumbs downers....i am still the winner! lol...i have to say that some of my videos are better than others mara...and i am okay with that! see you on the table mara!!!
LorriMarie Jenkins: You're wecome and Im loving that you're the winner thumbs up or down. UA-cam turns the lemons for you. Fantastic! Makes my day! Thank you! Lol
I wondered why you left such a large border of whit around your focal point but then you outlined in paint saving you all that fussy cutting. I'm all for that. You are a great teacher and you demeanor and voice are so calming. Thanks I will include some of your techniques in my work.
oh suzy....you must! thank you for coming along!!! go create, go play, go have fun!!!
LorriMarie, I learned many new mixed media techniques in this video. Firstly, I like how you organize your collage pieces. I have been trying to figure out a system for a long time to no avail. I will try this, I know it will work best. Secondly, I love how I learned about the layering process. Underpants (love it when you say that) building from least favourite to favourite. Thirdly, I really like the tearing technique, how to get the bevel on the back. This will be a useful technique in my future pieces. Once again, thank you for sharing your gifts and talents out in the world. You are a naturally born teacher.
Sandee.....you have made my day! thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful comment! i love creating the videos and i am grateful (and honored) that they are helping you in your mixed media journey!!! it sounds like you have gotten some good tips from the tutorials...that makes my heart sing! see you on the table!

I am! I’m currently a visual multimedia student in South Africa, and have been binge watching your videos👏🏽 I find so many of your techniques useful, as I create my collages then scan them and continue working on them digitally... and then repeat! Your approach to the work also helped as I can at times be overly critical which hinders my process... ever since I heard you say “play” my entire approach changed and the quality as well as my production rate went right up... so again, thank u♥️
@@metalsoup6950 woot woot! i love your comment! thank you...yes...i play! and play, and play....the imperfections become the perfections in an art piece for me...thank you again for taking the time to leave a comment...go create, go play, go have fun!!!!!
Hello. I have some questions if I may. I don't understand the purpose of cutting in pieces the book pages and even using them since they got lost in the process, same with the dark color too since it practically disappeared with the green to a point, it had to be bring back with other color.
Thanks
oh my goodness genoveva...i love your questions! each layer...whether it is seen or unseen...adds more and more energy..if you were to see this piece in person you would be able to feel the difference between a piece with one layer and a piece with many many layers...each layer gives me the ability to bond with the piece and get to feel where the piece wants to go...if i sat down with an 'idea' and completed a 'flat' piece it would not hold the energy that a piece that 'creates' itself...what i can say is....give it a try...the layers give the art piece more energy and the layers will allow you to 'play' with the piece...i hope i answered your questions genoveva...go create, go play, go have fun!!!
This was wonderful and simple as well. I love art that can be done by most anyone! Congratulations, LorriMarie, for offering the best classes on mixed media with an emphasis on including anyone and everyone!
what a lovely comment.....thank you so much! i love creating the videos....i would make one a day if i could....but it literally takes me all day.....create, film, edit, post....sooooooo much fun! see you on the table ruth ann!
Does it matter what grit sandpaper you use to distress your work?
great question terri...i use a 60 grit to 'rough it up'....pretty heavy duty sandpaper...so much fun! go create, go play, go have fun!!
Original and very nice! Glad I discovered you! :)
thank you mirta...i am so glad that you found 'us' too!!! see you on the table mirta!!!
Can this also have a cracked finish?
oh yes indeed jeannie....go create, go play, go have fun!! and go crackle!
What does the glaze do??? Does it make it look more like a magazine shine??
it dilutes the paint without changing the integrity of the paint shannon...i hope that makes sense....go create, go play, go have fun shannon!
Always enjoy and appreciate you

Hi. If u were to sell that would u frame it? Or put saw tooth hook on back or nothing? Love your techniques ❣️
lol....i would have handsome hubby make me a 'cradle' style frame, turn it inside out and i would glue the art piece in that frame...then i could hang it with D-rings...if that is not clear....look up cradle frames....amzn.to/3enANxl
i hope that helps....see you on the table!

Where is the supply list/shopping links?
oh my goodness cz....this is an oldie but goodie! i do not think i had even started the amazon thingy yet...how can i help?
What kind of glaze do you normally use, please?
I enjoyed your video. Thank you!
i use an acrylic paint for the glaze in this one maureen.....a diluted acrylic.....i hope that helps! go create, go play, go have fun!
Why did u add glaze to first layer of paint? Thanks
the glaze dilutes the paint and does not effect the integrity of the paint like water does....thank you for asking bonnie! see you on the table...

Hi LorriMarie! Thank you for this video and for sharing your creativity. I'm just about to start experimenting with collage. I was wondering what is the difference between mixing Varnish or Glazing with the acrylic paint? Thanks a lot and have a lovely day! Silvia

I have cutcut/torn/focal points stuffed in every corner of my house and I can't throw them out JUST IN CASE I need them some day. Do you just save the best or do you have secondary stashes besides the envelopes you carry? Help, I'm drowning!!
anndriver...what a great question! we, as mixed media artists tend to 'over save'....let's see if i can be as grounded as possible to answer this! i have art magazines galore! i have to 'weed' them out periodically....then i have a stash of things that i think are pretty cool....the things that i have cut out and torn out...or whole pages...i dig through those for inspiration...about ever 3 months (maybe more frequently) i toss out the focal points that i have looked at several times but have not used...they were interesting at one time...but they have lost their appeal....so....short answer gone long...i keep some....i toss some....i like to pick new images....the focal points are the hardest part of the mixed media that i do...the backgrounds take as long as the search for 'that perfect focal point'....soooo...take a breath and purge out the ones that have lost their luster....OR....use them in the underpants!!!!!! see you on the table!

so you have gloss modpodge...can you take it back? if not...use it! it is a bit shinier than the the matte modpodge....and it 'may' take a bit longer to cure....but yep...use what you have! thank you doris for leaving a comment/question....it makes me feel useful...lol! see you on the table doris!
I mix the gloss mod podge with White glue and water and it turns almost matte...
smart girl!!!!!!
Hi LorriMarie! This is a basic question, I'm sure, but I'm wondering why you mix the glaze with the acrylic paint? Is it just to water it down a bit?
it is to make the acrylic paint more translucent with out effecting the integrity of the paint.....i hopes that helps answer your question kim.....see you on the table....
I'm going to try blending with acrylic along the edge of the focal point...it works well. Usually, I fussy cut, but it doesn't work with some images that are in the hairy, fibre-type category.
you go girl! it does make a difference...hope you are well....see you on the table leanda!!!
