[@BunnyLang]

I saved so many for this very reason!

[@catherinegoldie6724]

LorriMarie I Love your Art, you are so brilliant at what you do, I’m binging again on your videos, see ya on the table.X💕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@lorrimarie2002]

you are such a great cheerleader catherine!!! thank you for hanging out on the table with me!!! go create, go play, go have fun!!!

[@diannecahill457]

No thumbs down from this kid 😀. I could watch and look at your work all day. In fact, today is a ‘headache day’ so I am binge watching some older videos for inspiration to keep working in my first altered book when I’m all good. Much love and hugs, Dianne.

[@lorrimarie2002]

this comment is from 2 days ago dianne.....i do hope you are feeling better today! and thank you for hanging out with me!!! yay for art.....see you on the table dianne!

[@MagicGoblinPrincess]

I agree with everything Neva said. No music is good. Your voice is soothing and just right. And your projects are purely wonderful.

[@lorrimarie2002]

thank you lisa for taking the time to leave a comment for me! we certainly have fun together! see you on the table....

[@NDW1955]

First of all... thank you SO much for NOT having annoying background music. For me, that's so distracting. I love music, but not while I'm listening to instructions. The volume is always too loud or too low and I can always play background music here, if I so choose. Your voice is so soothing and calming and I love the quiet space in between, as well. And thanks for the info on how the comments, liking and clicking on the links works. Interesting. For me, your videos are pretty much perfect. Love the intro, editing, length. You don't try to be funny, but you say very funny things. Very impressed with your presentations. And the CONTENT!!! That's my favorite, but if all the other stuff doesn't work, the content is lost. To sum it all up, I'm a big fan!

[@lorrimarie2002]

to neva...a fan of mine! thank you soooooo much for your positive feedback...i truly appreciate it! i am so glad you are enjoying the videos...quiet times and all....we all need quiet...sometimes, right? i drag you right along with me in my process...when i am editing them i get a kick out of 'how i get a kick out of myself'....i so enjoy the way the art comes alive before my very eyes! i wish the videos were shorter for people...but when i heavily edit them....we lose too much content....so....there you have it! go create, go play, go have fun....and yes....see you on the table!

[@dandames7824]

Hey Toots, I TOTALLY agree with everything Neva just said. Music is ok, but not necessary. Your voice and actions are so soothing, you simply don't need it. Everytime we tune you in, it feels like we are sitting down next to an "old" friend with our Mod Podge pot and cup o coffee. ;) I need to tell the world all about you!

[@lorrimarie2002]

good morning toots...my friend! i know you are on the table with me...it keeps me going, really! i have made friends around the world and i am never alone in my studio...what a gift! yes please...tell the world! xoxo

[@AnnemiekevandenHerik]

First off all. I absolutely adore you're work. I was in a creative dip for so long. I came across you're channel and start working along with you. Dont have all the supplies but work with what I have. I finished one book almost and busy with number two!. So thank you so much for you're great videos!!I love the fact that's there is no music! 💖

[@lorrimarie2002]

i am afraid my head would explode if i had music going annemieke! there is so much going on in my head as it is...i need peace and quiet! lol....thank you so much for the lovely comment annemieke! see you on the table!

[@kkslp43]

Lorri Marie, I have to tell you how very very very much I enjoy all your tutorials and Fun pages. My 2018 News Years Resolution was to learn to CREATE and explore art. I asked for art supplies for Christmas. I have not thought of art since 3rd grade so I am very much a novice. I am now on my second altered book!!!! I am having so much fun with this. I watch and rewatch your videos with you fabulous pages. Your tutorials are perfect for a novice like me. I appreciate you Lorri Marie sharing your talent, ideas, and time.Thank you so much! You are the Best! P.S. So fun to hear about the weather in California at the beginning of your videos,too.😃 Karen (from Phila Pennsylvania )

[@lorrimarie2002]

believe me karen when i say...we are all novices in this journey! sounds like you are ready to play! i did NO art until the age of 50 so i am a late bloomer! and you are on your second book? wowza! i am impressed! so a sunny hello from california my philly friend...see you on the table!!!!!

[@janesassalos7187]

THANKS FOR SHARING.....AND THANK YOU FOR NO MUSIC!

[@lorrimarie2002]

hey there jane....i have so much going on in my head that there is NO WAY that i could stand music...i need the 'quiet time'...lol! thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment....i think you might be relatively new to 'our village'..is that right? if so...welcome! see you the table...

[@ilonajeanpassino608]

I love this and am using it in my first book! Wanted a creative way to add photos from my mother's past...my book is a dedication to Mothers starting with my grandmother, mother and may have to end it with me...and start another book for me. Your videos have been so helpful in getting my creative juices flowing as inspiration was totally stuck in the beginning. Once I did the first page everything seems to start flowing from one to another. Thank you for being here LorriMarie! Oh and yes agree with other comments on no music. Its very distracting. Your videos are perfect as is, and even love it when you change your mind in the middle of a project. I do that sometimes a lot...lol

[@lorrimarie2002]

thank you ilona for supporting me on my journey....and yes.....coming along when the art changes its mind on where it wants to go! you get it all on these videos...lol....your book ideas sound amazing! go for it my friend! and thank you for playing on the table with me! it is more fun knowing i am not alone on the table!!! go create, go play, go have fun ilona!!!!

[@tsboutique]

Thank you LorriMarie for your inspiration and easy to follow tutorials. And, THANK YOU for not playing music. I love your style of mixed media and altered books. Just an FYI your Amazon link for the craft mat actually links to transfer tape for transferring vinyl.

[@lorrimarie2002]

oh my gosh tsboutique....that is hilarious...nope...no music....i promise! lol...that just means you have to listen to me.....and then you get to have some quiet times...i adore that really tsboutique! so....see you on the table...

[@jeanm.6404]

You make everything look easy to do but this looks very difficult. All I can say is, “WOW!”

[@michallehman9434]

Love the mica sheets! So much fun to see the focal points within a frame....

[@freeee35]

First: thank you for not playing music🎶🚫 Second: I taught faux finishing for years.. lots of specialty brushes involved.., students sometimes borrowed and kept my brushes... without my knowledge... I found that dipping the end of the brushes in an unusual color helped everyone to remember whose brush was whose😽

[@lorrimarie2002]

oh carole....you are so welcome for not playing music...my 'busy' mind has to have QUIET! lol...and the quiet spells in my videos? i love them...you can 'hear' the piece....you can 'feel' the energy....and as far as the red tips on the brushes? great idea!!!! i do not mind if someone needs my supplies more than i do? that is okay with me! see you on the table carole! thank you for the nice comment!!!

[@ReenieT]

Looked on Amazon for mica sheets yesterday. Didn't see any big sheets. Michael's and Joann's didn't have any. I a inspired to do this in my book I started!

[@lorrimarie2002]

i was going to look up the link for you and then i noticed the next comment by you says you got it baby! woot woot! and you will adore the baby blue brush too!!! yay....go create, go play, go have fun deborah!!!!

[@annemillion1501]

This is so awesome. I am really going to have to stop just watching and get busy and find a book to play in. I have tons of books, just need to choose one to work in. I guess I will also finally have to break down and buy some gesso. I like the fact that you don't have background music. Too many people have music that is not to my taste and then it makes it difficult to watch their videos. Thanks for taking the time to show us step by step how to do a certain technique. I appreciate the effort it takes to do that.

[@katherinenoggle6407]

This just might be my favorite project yet! I got some mica circles from an etsy shop a while back. Maybe I'll make portholes! Love love love it!

[@lorrimarie2002]

oooooh....perfect katherine! portholes...i love that idea! keep me posted....this is a good one, right? we keep raising the bar! see you on the table...

[@Barbara-ni1wk]

I realy love the way you explane us how to make those lovely altered books. And we all can use the things we have got around our tables. Nobody must buy anything special to try to make this books. Plese go on with your videos.

[@lorrimarie2002]

woo hoo esmes....nice to have you in 'our village'....i am glad the tutorials are working for you....i believe we are all on a budget....so buying a bunch of new supplies does not work for me....thank you for appreciating that! see you on the table...

[@sueellensiebert9202]

I've been reviewing your tutorials on making windows. I didn't have mica or screen, but I had a piece of wire garden fence similar to a very heavy hail screen. Well of course I had to use it! It took a lot of tacky glue and determination, but it came out great. Thanks LorriMArie, for inspiring me to work with what I have and not be afraid.

[@lorrimarie2002]

oh sue ellen....that is the best comment of the day! i encourage 'our villagers' to use what they have...it forces the creativity to another level....i adore that....thank you so much for leaving this supportive comment sue ellen! see you on the table...

Wonderful spread. I love your presentation especially the no music. People can't seem to do anything without music these days. The mica is yummy but substitutes would also look good. Thank you. 🦋

I agree , no music , please. I love listening to you. You are so calm and soothing. You showed a page in an other video that had 3 holes on one side and a pocket on the other. Did you do a video for that page?

I can’t imagine why someone would do thumbs down. I love your instructions. You make everything so clear. Thanks for the video.

LorriMarie I have just done this one but not with Mica, with an Actertate! I can not tell you more how I love these tutorials. Are you aware that this is better than anything else I have done before. Its like you dropped from heaven with all these yummy challenges! My book is so fat now and won't close, almost done! Thank you for you and these tutorials! Much love!

[@lorrimarie2002]

hey marci....acetate is sheets is easier to find that large sheets of mica....so i understand...the mica..if you can find it...does add an eerie feel to the page...acetate works perfectly too....right? i am so glad you are having fun...that is what it is all about....i will tell 'handsome hubby' that you think i am an angel...lol! go create, go play, go have fun!!!

[@carisomiecinski238]

I found your altered book videos last night and have absolutely fallen in love with them... and you! I’ve started an altered book but am having some difficulty finding interesting “focal points” and really don’t want to print them out because that just seems a little lame. I know people probably ask you about where you get your focal points all the time, but I’d rather be watching more of your videos than scrolling through comments!! Thanks so much, keep up the amazing content :)

[@lorrimarie2002]

i go to library book sales and pick up art magazines, hi-fructose, juxtapoz, haute dolls.....any fun art magazines have great images! cut them out, tear them out....go play!!!

[@sydneytanen2331]

I am new to your videos. I’m in love with them and you, It drives my husband nuts since he’s been after me to empty and throw out my huge flat file and here I am buying tons of new supplies! Looking forward to starting an altered book and have a few questions. Do you do the front and back covers first? I don’t know where to start. Doesn’t ripping out from the center of ea. Signature weaken the book? I’m doing that and the threads are getting loose. Looking forward to more of you, I’m addicted. Anybody tell you you look like Annette Benning? You are a terrific teacher! Keep it up!!

[@randigerber1926]

Hi, Lorri-Marie! TFS!!!!!! This was terrific!!!! Two questions/comments: 1). I would feel that you were safer if you rested your project on a self-healing cutting mat when you are using a blade. 😎 2). I am thinking of trying to alter a book by taking a baby step, literally: by using a child’s board book as the base. Have you ever done this? My concern is the slick coating on the original pages. The top picture layer is hard to remove quickly/efficiently. I have laid down a layer of gesso on top of the slick surface. I hope this will provide enough secure traction/key for the subsequent layers to adhere to. Advice welcome! Your videos are great! Your calm voice and clear instructions remind me of another favorite KZbinr: Ginger Ropp (My Sister’s Scrapper). Her tutorials led me to successful papercrafting mini-albums and tags. Following yours is the next step for me. Thanks, and also I’m jealous that you live in the SF area.

[@marybarratt879]

Of course, I will be doing all the steps for hours myself because this is awesome and I must get it done in my own book! I wish I had someone to share it with...alas, I have no Journal buddies. But I did subscribe! I came over from a brilliant video by Ina Salsbury in which she gave you credit for the ideas. So, of course, I subscribed to her, too. So now, I am in the enviable position of having found two great, inventive artists on the same day with a ton of beautiful videos to watch! Thank you so much!

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Thank you LorriMarie for your kind reply. I live in Aurora with my family as I married an american fellow,but I am originally from Germany. I am right now on a UTube video creating break,I took January off,but I will upload again in February. I am a self taught ,self proclaimed mixed media artist .if you are interested about my work ,just click my icon and come visit with me. I am answering all comments. LOL : )

[@lorrimarie2002]

it is full time job responding to the comments...and i LOVE that! my aunt lived in aurora...also many moons ago...my eldest son was a russian linguist in the army and was stationed in germany...i got to visit him while he was there....it was cold and beautiful...we visited many castles....soooo fun....and he enjoyed the beer....he now has a brewery in tucson, arizona....thanks for the visit...i will check out your mixed media channel!

[@Jan-ew4eh]

What a wonderful idea! This has to go in my latest lapbook, but I'll have to use acetate as the mica is too rigid. I'm still working on my first altered book so I'm catching up on your videos. They're brilliant and so inspiring!

[@lorrimarie2002]

yep...acetate works well too...great idea! you will enjoy mica in another project...right? how did you find 'our' channel? i am glad you are joining us....on the table!

[@Jan-ew4eh]

I found you purely by chance while looking for themes for a lapbook, and I'm so glad I did. I have more ideas than I have time to work on them. I'm going to create my own playlist of your tutorials and have lots of fun!

[@lorrimarie2002]

oh my goodness....i am so grateful you found 'us'....we do have some fun! thank you for offering to make a playlist...i REALLY appreciate it!!! see you on the table!

[@gabrielepumpe4582]

Hi Lorri Marie Here is Gabriele from Heidelberg again. My book is nearly done- only some Pages left.. I love it . But I want to put it in a selfmade box because I don't want it squeed in the bookbord.Could you please make a tutorial? Thank you and may be I see you on the table . Bye

[@carolaasen9345]

Quick question. What magazines would you recommend for someone wanting yummy ephemera?

[@lorrimarie2002]

depends on what you are looking for...of course...i love 'the darker side' so i go for USED magazines at library sales of half off book stores...never pay full price....ouch! juxtapoz, haute dolls, hi-fructouse...a bit edgy but i love them! any art magazine that you can put your hands on will have something interesting....thanks for staying connected! see you on the table!

[@impalamama7302]

I find National Geographics have great backgrounds...lots of color photos and also text. I had some old Nat Geos and found some very striking backgrounds...theu were microscopic images of tapeworms and other parasites but they were uber cool in a collage. Also can find some cool focal points as well...

[@mikeschwarz7439]

Hi LorriMarie you have so great Ideas 😀look realy good ❤hugs Ellen

[@isabelyanez1550]

Quelle idée originale !! mais pas facile de trouver des petites feuilles de mica

[@lorrimarie2002]

i recognize the words originale, mica and petites! lol! my french leave alot to be desired....so....thank you....i think...lol! see you on the table isabel...

[@deanad9825]

36:11 into this video before you turn to the page working on there’s a page 2 page spread befor Project at hand can you show us how to do that page

[@lorrimarie2002]

sorry precious one.....no video for this page....darn it!!!

[@BunnyLang]

Question: I'm curious about mica, what is the difference you notice between using mica vs. acetate?

[@lorrimarie2002]

ahhhh...pregunta perfecta! (practicing my spanish wit you!). the mic has a smokey natural look to it...the acetate is of course super clear...depends on the look you are looking for bunny...thank you for asking! go create, go play, go have fun!!!

[@valeriepurcell5229]

OMG! OMG! OMG!!!!!! Looooooooovvvvveeeeeee these!!!!!! (PS: I did it! the studio has been found!) {BTW: Organizing the crap out of it! It’s so hard for us (formerly known as Junk or Collage artists) MIXED Medium Artists to do sometimes! I have 3 doz clear plastic shoeboxes procured -so far! Lol}. Cant wait to go through EVERY video again - this time WITH YOU!!

[@lorrimarie2002]

hooooray! the studio has been found....was there a ransom involved...lol! i know i have to constantly go through my goodies....something that was appealing 6 months ago....hmmmmm...no interest today...i have to be careful or my studio will take on a life of its own! see YOU on the table...can't wait!

[@valeriepurcell5229]

LorriMarie Jenkins lol! If ransom had been involved, there’d never b a studio again! Hahaha

[@lorrimarie2002]

i should be paying someone to straighten my studio today...lol...but then i really would not be able to find anything....it is a mess today....a happy, creative mess...but still a mess!!!!

[@chatmaker9056]

I am loving this idea, do you think that a heavy acetate would work instead of mica. I want to use what I have. As usual keep up the great ideas and sharing of your underpants, Carol

[@lorrimarie2002]

Carol Hatmaker yep. Acetate will work perfectly! Go girl! See you on the table. 🧚‍♀️

[@katkat5484]

Love! Can’t wait to try, but silly question, mica, acetate, salad container? Does the mica have a slight color tinge?

[@lorrimarie2002]

I have a couple of ties that were my cousin’s who died of pancreatic cancer. I’d love to use them in my journals & some keepsake cards for his kids. Any suggestions? Or have you used the fabric from ties in any of your work? I’d love to see this incorporated if possible. I’ll share your videos more LorriMarie, anything to grow this yummy delicious village! ✌🏽💓

[@lorrimarie2002]

are you willing to cut them up and use them that way? i use a lot of fabric in my artwork...let me see if i can find an example video.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpPKnpuqm9eokJI take a peek at this delicious flower using fabric....you could do several and create a garden? hope that helps a little bit...see you on the table jai...

@@Bellasoulhomestead thank you, thank you, thank you!!! art is meant to be shared! see you on the table!

[@disturbedwonderland]

This is just me being curious. I have never used the mica sheets, is there a reason you attached it to one side instead of putting it between two pieces of cardboard? I really loved this project. Thank you for sharing.

[@disturbedwonderland]

Lol I heard your tummy and thought my dog was growling. That you for the laugh

[@lorrimarie2002]

oh marie...my curious one...i love the edge of the mica....and also like the introduction of the grommets...we have already put a 'window between pages' so this is a different (and yummy) technique....keep those questions coming! see you on the table!

[@jillianlouallen9726]

LorriMarie can you tell me what number exacto knife that you use. I bought one I can't remember there's like a number one and a number 2 blade. But anyhow I noticed there were like four different exacto knives and I was wondering if you could tell me which one you're using in this video? I think the one I have is smaller than yours and I have to press down really hard I think I need a bigger and sharper blade...

[@lorrimarie2002]

amzn.to/2AvYjpp amzn.to/2M9riRq here are a couple of links that may help.....it looks like a use a #2 blade....i change the blade frequently (not frequently enough...lol) to make the cutting easier....the grip handles seem to make it easier too....do some research jillian....i hope this helps...see you on the table....

[@megbreiter6314]

Curious, why do you waste your underpants if you are just covering them up?

[@lorrimarie2002]

ooooooh...such a good question! like any good underpants....they are a great foundation for any 'outfit'...plus...they do peek through all the layers! you cannot see or feel their deliciousness on screen but the under layer of ephemera does make a big difference in the energy of the piece....as you can tell..i am quite passionate about this 'first' step of my pieces....lol! see you on the table!

[@tracybromage-spencer1882]

I see you use the black masking tape which sounds like duct tape. Is it the same? could I use that instead? and if I dont have mica can I use the plastic from food trays?

[@kaetheknitter6759]

Hi LorieMarie. Another fun project I look forward to trying. Wondering though about the black masking tape of which I can not locate in Vancouver, BC. Is there any reason it's better to use than duct tape?

[@lorrimarie2002]

kaethe...the black masking tape is different than duck tape...my experience with duck tape is not so great....duct tape will work but we only have that in silver....are you familiar with gaffer tape? that will work...it is nice and strong...i hope this helps kaethe...

[@kaetheknitter6759]

an 8 year old can handle this...the edges are kind of sharp but i would still go for it....i have a granddaughter 8...i would totally do this with her! go create something fun with her!!!
