A few (more) minutes of fun - Moon Mask Meadow Tags

[@Jennifer.13]

At this point Tim should just name the moon mask after you because no one does it like you!! And I’m absolutely blown away at your ability to create dimension ! 🙌🏼

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

That made me laugh! Thank you so much for such a lovely comment. Happy Sunday to you.

[@figs225]

The creator's articulate relaxing voice, her inspirational instructions, it is high caliber teaching. I have watched this video many many times and it's truly one of my favorite videos.

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

That's so very kind of you - thank you for your lovely words. I'm delighted you are enjoying the presentation so much, as well as the artwork.

[@christinewerner6207]

A trick for when the white pen doesn’t work: write on your hand with the pen and that will unstick it and get the ink flowing better again. 🙂 I’m still watching the video. I recently purchased these Moon Masks and had been meaning to find a YT video on how exactly to use them, so, I was ‘over the moon’ 🌙 when I saw this!😃🤩

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Oh, nice tip on the white pen... I'll give that a go, thank you! Very happy to have timed the moon mask well for you. I hope you'll have lots of fun playing with yours. Obviously, there are lots of ways to make the most of them, but as you can see, this is my favourite! Thanks so much for your company on this creative journey.

[@heatherhughes2955]

I am just blown away with the incredibly stunning results you get when using a bit of this and that. I love the moon and enjoy watching the it wax and wane throughout the year. You have brought it to life with mixed media and I’m just in awe of your amazing talent. Thank you so much for sharing! ♥️🙏🏼

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Thank you so much for that lovely comment... yes, I love to play with bits and bobs! The moon is a magnificent thing, I agree - I'm honoured that you feel I've honoured it here.

[@carold.9626]

Thank ye again !! I can't say enough on how much I simply LOVE your artistic talent !! And the calm ye give me !! Carol😊🎉❤

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

That's so kind of you - thank you for putting a happy smile on my face with your lovely comment.

[@HeleneKaut]

I could, quite happily, sit and watch you create all day. You make it look so easy as well. Beautiful work. You continue to inspire, thank you❤️🇨🇦

[@susanstimson871]

Same! In fact when I first became aware of her I binge watched all of her videos.

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Thank you so much for that lovely comment - you've put a big smile on my face.

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

@susanstimson871 That's so nice of you, thank you!

[@tamielizabethallaway2413]

Gorgeous tags...you put so much into them. They look absolutely beautiful. Love the layered look and all the subtle blending. You really show how much more potential products have, that other channels don't focus on so much, and use things in limited ways. I never knew simple inking and stencils/stamps could create something so "complicated" looking. You're a proper artist, not just a crafter. 😘 Btw... Gypsophila ...👂it's JIPS OH FEEL EE AH....or JIPS OPHELIA. Just saying as it's one of my favourite flowers. 😊

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

That's such lovely feedback - thank you so much. I'm really happy to hear you say that about allowing the products to shine - it's so much fun to explore what's possible with the ingredients we have, and make the most of them. And on Gypsophila - I'm afraid I'm sticking with my pronunciation. The Cambridge Dictionary is with me (on both UK and US pronunciation) dictionary.cambridge.org/pronunciation/english/gypsophila Have a great Sunday!

[@sallytibbits7468]

What delightful tags …..so much fun watching…time to play 🥰

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

So pleased you had fun... and I hope you'll have even more fun playing! Happy Sunday to you.

[@KH-ko1kh]

I've never really created art and imagery with stamps and inks, but THIS is my inspiration, truly. Thank you so much!

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

That's great to hear, thank you. I hope you'll have fun playing and experimenting.

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Alison, I really really enjoyed watching you create these fantastic and stunningly creative tags. I absolutely love ❤❤❤❤ and adore them all. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤. I can’t believe it I’ve watched this before 3- months ago. 😮😂

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

So happy that you've now enjoyed it twice!! Thank you (again!!).

[@novafalcosmith]

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC ❤❤❤

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Thank you so much.

[@kathynielsen518]

I love how you quietly talk us through this. Lovely!

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Thank you so much for that lovely feedback.

[@jaytee2642]

I love the moon, and watching you create lunar magic with ink and paper is a huge treat. I'm so inspired.

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

That's lovely to hear, thank you. And yes, the moon is a glorious source of inspiration.

[@novafalcosmith]

LOVE ALL THE TAGS ❤❤❤

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Thank you very much.

[@RamoArt]

When I saw this thumbnail in my recommendations I could practically smell the air on a beautiful summer evening and hear the cicadas. Your work is so beautiful! I'm not one to copy things from other creators but I need to try my hand at this! Also, your mood is contagious! It's great how you share how pleased you are and how much fun you're having. If the results weren't enough to make me want to try this then your attitude certainly would be.

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

What a wonderful comment - thank you so much for that. I'm more than happy to spread the contagion of creativity and fun! And thrilled the tags gave you such a multi-sensory experience. I hope you will have a play with the ideas and techniques here... tag me in if you're sharing it anywhere like Instagram (if that's something you do) - I'd love seeing what people create after watching! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

[@RamoArt]

​@@w0rdsandp1cturesHi, sorry to bother you, you don't have to reply. I was inspired to use some tried botanicals in my crafting after watching your video (what an amazing idea, thanks for sharing that with us!) but I've run into issues. Lavender and thyme seem to fall apart simply from looking at them wrong. Is it an issue with how I dried them? Is there anything I can do to stabilize them? I've tried soaking the stems in a fixative for pastels, but it doesn't seem to have helped. I'm aware they'll always be delicate, but in this state I don't see them surviving the light handling that something that has to be gifted has to go through. I did consider putting them inside of a full front shaker card so they'd be covered by a layer of plastic, but even that I don't think they'd survive. I'd really, really appreciate your help if you have the time. I don't use any social media other than KZbin, otherwise I'd tag you in my recreations!

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

@@RamoArt I have never done anything special to preserve my lavender - maybe I've just been lucky. On occasion, I paint them with some matte gel medium (brushstrokes going upwards so as not to disturb the "petals"), and sometimes on some very faded ones, I have painted them with acrylics to restore the purple tones! But yes, over time, they may well not survive... but I'm not creating for posterity here - I don't expect things to last. The ephemerality is part of their beauty for me. Having said that, I have lavender stems on tags and ATCs that I made well over five years ago and they're still fine. Thyme is pretty fragile, so I can see that might not survive. But given I haven't really tried to preserve things, I'm not really an expert on it... there are definitely books around on the art of drying flowers for long term preservation, so if it's something you plan on doing a lot, and want long-term results, that's something you could look into. Just search for "drying flowers" in the books section on Amazon, for instance. Sorry I can't be more help than that!

[@vleathwood]

Beautiful work Alison! Your attention to all the little details makes your work stand out. I love this form of artwork but I struggle with composition and watching your videos makes a big difference. Thank you for sharing.❤️xx

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

I'm so happy you are finding the videos helpful as well as enjoyable. Thank you so much for such a lovely comment.

[@Jalleur14325]

Same here. I actually was creating a moon scene and this has made me think to try masking out the moon

[@rhondahunt9888]

So amazing! I never gave the moon masks a thought…but now, wow!

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

They really are amazing... obviously this isn't the only effect you can get with them but, as you can see, it's my favourite!!

[@octavya30]

These are gorgeous! It’s been a while since I used my moon mask and you have inspired me to have a play with it again. In the US one of the names for the April full moon is the Pink Moon. It’s obviously not pink, but it’s named for the wild creeping phlox that blooms in carpets of pink in early spring. So I imagine you’ve created an April pink moon and the phlox is so bright that it’s giving your moon a pink hue. 😊

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Oh, what a lovely thought about the April moon - thank you for that! So happy you enjoyed the video, and I hope your moon mask will get to come out and play again soon! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

[@gbear768]

by far, the best, most artistic blending of all I've seen. beautiful

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Oh, that's very kind of you - thank you so much for watching and commenting.

[@ellief3177]

Stunning projects, Alison. The muted colours work so well for that twilight feel. I was so happy to see another video from you - I am loving everything about them.

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

So delighted that you are enjoying the videos, and yes - I really love the atmosphere of this pair of tags. Thanks so much for your lovely comment.

[@MonikaHollie]

Got the moon stencil/mask a while ago. Now I know how to use it ! Fabulous color combination and blending. Thank you for this great tutorial !

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Excellent - I hope you'll take the Moon Mask out for a spin soon... this isn't the only way to use it, of course, but as you can see, it's my favourite way!! So happy you enjoyed the video, and thank you for taking the time to comment and let me know.

[@JuliePatterson-i9x]

Your moon masking is incredible and I find how you describe each step much easier to follow

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Thank you - I'm very happy you are finding the videos helpful and enjoyable.

[@dianebright9366]

These are the most beautiful and unique tags I have ever seen. Truly. I have been wanting this moon mask for over a year and kept talking myself out of it. “Why would I need this? Would I get a lot of use from it?” Well, question answered!

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Well, if you're anything like me, you'll get a LOT of use out of it!! There are other ways to use it too, of course, but as you can see, this is my favourite... Thank you so much for your lovely comment - I'm delighted you love the tags.

[@robinknutson8765]

The lavender seems to hide too much of the moon. These are beautiful.

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Happy you find them beautiful... I guess it's all about perspective, and where you are looking from.

[@deborahgiles8214]

Absolutely fabulous. I love the tags. So atmospheric. Those moon masks are the best. They look gorgeous.

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

I love the moon masks (as you can tell from all those creations in the introduction!)... very happy you enjoyed seeing the tags come to life. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

[@stormyswann6177]

The moon stencil really makes a difference. So simple and yet so wow

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

It's great isn't it... that moment when it goes from just a circle to a textured moon?! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

[@carold.9626]

Hello Alison !! I'm watching again, needed your calm vice and artistic talents !! I m trying to do better on my blending like ye do !! I don't purchase Holtz products, but I simple must look into this mask !! Tim holtz should take ye on as a grand promoter of his products !! Thanx again for ye and your wonderful enthusiasm !!😊❤🎉❤😊

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

What a fabulous comment, thank you so much - that's really made my heart sing. I'm delighted you found your way here, and I hope you'll enjoy exploring the channel. Thanks for watching and for your lovely words.

[@Malmo117]

Very pretty! I’ve given up on white gel pens and now use the white posca paint pen. It has worked great every time! TFS 🙏🌸😎

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Yes, gel pens are sadly unreliable - it's a shame, because I like the gel pen effect much better than the look of the Posca. It works, but it's a bit unsubtle for my liking... fine for shading the moon like this, but not so much for fine detail work. Ah well, I shall continue the search for the perfect white pen!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

[@kathynielsen518]

You used Distress instead of Oxides here. Now I see why!!!! Perfection!

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

I almost always prefer the translucence of the inks to the opaque chalkiness of the Oxides... where it does become fun for me is in combining the two in various techniques! Happy you are enjoying the moon tags unfolding...

[@cherylsalvato9252]

What you do with the moon mask is amazing. Gorgeous scenes.

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

I'm so happy you enjoyed seeing the process unfold. I rarely know exactly what things are going to be when I start... I have a vague idea, but then I try to stay in the moment and let my instincts lead me as to the details as we go. Thank you so much for watching and for such a lovely comment.

[@JANeway1723]

Great explanations in very clear language. A great project and, as others have said, you have a very relaxed and relaxing style

So happy you like them... happy Sunday to you!

[@VickieMagers]

RE: The tags you made in this video...on the bottom of the tag where you said it made a line across the tag...to me, it looks like there was a lake behind at the bottom of the tag. Really loved it. You are a wonderful artist!

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Oh, well that just goes to prove that there's no such thing as going "wrong". I love your idea of the lake! Thank you so much for watching and for your lovely comment.

[@karinwatson4985]

I completely enjoyed the creation of these moon tags! You are always inspiring as you create towards the final result even though you don’t have an exact plan when you begin!

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

That's lovely to read - thank you so much. Exact plans mean you end up feeling you've gone "wrong"... I prefer not knowing where I'm going, then I'm happy wherever I end up!

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Happy you enjoyed it, Steff... great to see you here. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@missdeesaccount]

I've seen some artists using a wire baking rack for placing a tag on when drying because it facilitates a more even drying so the hot air circulates. Just thought that might help others! I just discovered you and love this tutorial! Thanks for sharing ❤🎉😊

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

That's a nice idea - as long as you don't burn yourself on the metal - it will heat up a lot with the heat tool pointed at it!! Happy you found your way here - welcome - and I hope you'll enjoy exploring the channel.

[@lizcounsell2243]

I've just found your channel today. I'm impressed, also inspired. I'd completely forgotten that I had these stencils, so I got them out this evening and had a play. It's so long since I used inking and stencilling techniques and I had a lovely time. Now I'm going to watch more of your videos.

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Happy you found your way here - welcome! I'm delighted you're finding fun and inspiration here... and it's so great that you got out the inks and stencils for some playtime. I think it's nice to remember how the simplest things can still yield lovely results. Thank you so much for watching and commenting.

[@junebovenzi]

I crafted a tag with you. I don’t have the same stamps, but made do with what is in my stash. I am pleased with the result. 🥰

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

I'm so happy to hear you played along, and that's absolutely right... use what you have. It's all about that improvisation to create something that is your own, and most of all to have fun!

[@AliceLovesJesus]

I have had my moon masks for a while now, without creating anything with them. Your tutorial could not have come at a better time after seeing the moon at 2am two nights ago. It was absolutely magnificent I second that. It was so bright and not very high yet, even that early in the morning. It was kind of twinkling through the trees, playing hide and seek and holding me captive for a long while before I could finally tear myself away and go to bed. It was one of those moments where you just know, that you may never experience it like that again.

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Exactly that... it was impossible to tear myself away from its glowing beauty. So happy to hear that your moon masks might get to come out and play soon... hope you'll have a lovely time with them. Thanks so much for your company on this creative journey.

[@Missben702]

[@suebouch4074]

Hello Alison! LOVE this play time with so many techniques and ideas! I haven’t played with the Moon Masks but after seeing this I want to add that to the top of my playtime list… and… I have gained a greater appreciation for the last Distress color, scorched timber, which I purchased (full set syndrome) but wasn’t a fan of. Your collection of tags done in all 4 seasons using the moon mask set are amazing. LOVE them! I just spent the weekend at the lake for a reunion and can appreciate you talking about being inspired by nature and your surroundings. I’m feeling those blues and greens today. We also went to a local antique shop and I was able to find some lovely old vintage books that I will be able to dismantle to use as background layers, etc. I was thrilled to find a book full of sheet music as well… a whole lot of fun ahead for $30… Thanks for taking the energy and inconvenience to share this weekly playtime and glad you are still getting private playtime to enjoy for you. Have a wonderful week!!! 🙂

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Ooh, sounds like you got a real treasure haul with those books - have fun playing. I'm so happy you love the moon tags (whatever the season), and I hope you'll give Scorched Timber another chance. I think it's a glorious cool dark tone - I'll probably never use black again (not that I use it much in any case!). Thank you as always for your company and comments. Happy week to you.

[@barbaralennon321]

I am watching you with black, brown, red, green and blue stained hands. Had some ink fun today. Should wear gloves, but don't. I now need the moon stencils. Your tags are gorgeous.

[@ediecatto585]

Your delight in the process is infectious! Love all things moon and you’ve given some great ideas to start playing myself. When I want to glue over distress ink backgrounds I find Distress Micro Glaze works wonderfully to prevent the inks from reactivating. It’s almost a wax and is barely perceptible in your finished piece.

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Yes, I know about Micro Glaze, and I agree it's useful for sealing the inks. But I've never found I need it for gluing little things like flowers... I'm pretty accurate with where the glue goes! I only mentioned the inks reactivating for those who are bothered by such things! Great tip though, thanks.

[@kathduguid5844]

Oh dear. I'm going to have to order some more masks/ stencils and stamps. Love, love love these tags

Thank you... as you know, the moon masks put in regular appearances in my tags, so I thought it would be a nice thing to share.

[@user-AnuPP247]

Wow! They are so beautiful! I am so inspired to have a go at these! Thanks so much 🦋🌿

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Brilliant - hope you'll have fun playing. That's the best possible response to these videos - to go and have a few minutes of fun of your own. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@peggydid]

I was just wanting to get my moon mask/stencil out and play in my "Art Journal August" having been inspired by our lovely supermoon this week! I've loved seeing you do these tags! Hugs! Peggy

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Hasn't it been amazing?! Have fun with the moon mask... I always do! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

[@inipin510]

Saw the video from TH when these were new, wasn’t so sure about them. But your ideas- OMG- wonderful! ❤️❤️❤️

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

As you can see, I definitely use them A LOT!! So happy you like the results. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@juliehunt175]

Just beautiful Alison thank you for sharing. So inspiring. julie

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Happy you enjoyed it, Julie - thank you for taking the time to let me know.

[@DanielleMack]

So glad I found your channel! ❤

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Happy you found your way here - welcome! With your owls and moons, I can see why this video is the one that lured you here!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

[@cathymark1994]

Fabulous! And I loved your slightly giddy reaction when you took up the moon stencil (I do the same thing when something goes particularly right on a project). Thank you

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

So happy you enjoyed it all (including my exclamations!)... thank you for watching and commenting.

[@edithmars3449]

I enjoyed it so much to see you make these amazing moonlight tags😍the colorous you used are perfect and gave these nigths the warmth that I love 🤎💙you created beautiful depth with the stamped grasses and great contrast with the white text, splatters and the dried flowers 👌 thanks again for the inspiration, Alison and have a wonderful sunday❣️

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

So happy you enjoyed it, Edith - thank you, as always, for your thoughtful, beautiful feedback and support of the channel. Happy Sunday to you too (what's left of it!).

[@kathynordmann8889]

What an absolutely delightful hour spent with you today! I followed you here from Instagram, and am sure glad I did! Thank you for the inspiration and now I have to find someone in the US that has some of your stamps! 💛💛💛

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Happy you found your way here, and delighted that you enjoyed it all. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I'm putting the PaperArtsy stockist link below - they are listed alphabetically by country, so the US is near the end. Not all PaperArtsy stockists have all PaperArtsy products (they have so many!), but Frantic Stamper, Topflight, Everything Mixed Media, Joggles and Simon Says Stamp are all usually a good bet for my designs. If what you want is out of stock, let the supplier know - then they know there's demand for a re-order! blog.paperartsy.co.uk/p/find-stockist.html

[@AnnaiStockholm-tz8xe]

They’re so beautiful! And I love listening to you

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Thank you so much - that's lovely feedback.

[@shabbykat273]

Remarkable and lovely result! TFS!❤

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Thank you so much - happy you love them!

[@bcdoula]

These tags are so pretty. My nickname is Moon and has been all my life. Just purchased everything! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Oh, lovely... your comment put a big smile on my face. Happy to have inspired you, and I hope you'll have a wonderful time playing with your new toys!

[@barbrule4142]

Wow! Outstanding…Tim H would be so proud. You really knocked it out of the park. Thanks for sharing!

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

The endless creative inspiration TH provides is amazing, isn't it?! Thank you.so much for watching and for your lovely comment.

[@elaineatthecraftshed1993]

This was such a useful video. I have theee masks, but have always used them in a "flat" way. Seeing how you achieve such dimension is so helpful. Beautiful end result. Moonlit magic 😍

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Very happy you found this useful - I love creating dimension, whether it's moons or berries or anything else! Thank you so much for your lovely comment, and for your company on this creative journey.

[@wandabaldwin2479]

Wow ! How beautiful! no words.

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Thank you so much... even for no words! So happy you love them.

[@doreethorpe4800]

So beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing your process. ❤❤

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

You're very welcome - happy you like them.

[@evafarnloforbe4593]

Love love love! Bought the moon mask after watching this, can’t wait to try

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Thank you! I hope you'll have as much fun with them as I do!!

[@debwhite3585]

Your voice, explanation and enthusiasm is inspiring as well as relaxing to listen to.

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Oh, that is lovely feedback - thank you for putting a big smile on my face!

[@mosaic22255]

Absolutely beautiful! Your splatters remind me of once when I completed a mosaic arch on a wall in my off-grid home,. When I took digital photos, a million little orbs showed up. They looked just like your splatters. ❤

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Oh, that sounds magical... the mosaic arch itself, for starters, but also that extraordinary effect when you photographed it. I'm so happy you like the tags, and especially the splatters. Thank you so much for watching and commenting.

[@jodiclausen4663]

I’ve been experiencing a creative block while going through trauma therapy. All I wanted to do is throw black on everything(literally, ……really glad I haven’t ruined some of my favorites) it’s all I was feeling😵‍💫😑. Luckily this video randomly showed up on my home page. I have a different moon mask/stencil & you have (finally) inspired some creations. Thanks for the info & inspiration 😊❤

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

I'm so happy that KZbin helped you find your way here - welcome! And wow, I am thrilled to hear that my videos have had such a positive impact for you after going through such a difficult time. Thank you so very much for sharing your experience, and I hope you continue to feel the creative inspiration flowing more freely from now on. Enjoy your moon mask playtime, and thank you for watching and commenting.

[@jodiclausen4663]

@@w0rdsandp1ctures 😁it seems the universe worked in my favor. I don’t pay much attention to what is usually recommended for me, but your moon tags are so beautiful….they were impossible for me to ignore. Now I am a subscriber and really enjoy your techniques, teachings & inspiration. Have everything ready for some desperately needed art journaling. Oh! I Really love the quotes & stamps you use!! Thanks for those too😊❣️

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

The quote collections are part of my own range of designs by PaperArtsy, as are many of the botanicals I use, so that makes me extra happy. Thank you so much and have a wonderful time diving back into your journal.

[@JessicaD99]

Your art is absolutely stunning.

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

That's lovely to hear - thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@juliepepperman]

Beautiful and inspiring as usual. How can I feel so energized and relaxed at the same time? Thanks!

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

I'd say that's the perfect flow state! What a compliment that you found it just by watching... hope you'll be inspired to play too soon! Thanks so much for your company on this creative journey.

[@terrytulipane6916]
