[@AntyPam4250]

Such a cool idea. Your enthusiasm is contagious! 🤗❤️

[@queenbeeetta]

I'm loving this, am I the only one who goes back and binge watches all of Robyns videos. Lol😁 she is such an inspiration to anyones creative side.

[@sabinerie]

No, you are not 😊 🙋🏼‍♀️🇩🇪

[@lisahowe7449]

I hadn't seen this particular video before. You have a deep archive! This was great, and gives me more ideas about salvaging ghost prints, incomplete prints, roll off papers, and prints that are unsuccessful. I love the watery layers of the inks, which is something I've been experimenting with in my eco-dyed papers. Thank you Robyn!

[@TaraLinda]

Thank you for this; the nuanced colors of vintage! Always teaching us how to make it ours.

[@lorigordon1970]

Such a great idea. I absolutely love this technique. Thank you for sharing this idea

[@margaretmoar8529]

Fantastic video. I can,t wait to get my hands on the mica powder.

[@annettedepete4314]

Thank u for all the tips. Love your talent🌴😍

[@myfairytreasures]

This is just awesome, I love this technique. And I’m loving the pumice and frayed burlap, your right it isn’t used enough. And I love the addition of the micas. I’m so inspired.

[@brendastaley3993]

Just used the Aztec Gold pigment and vintage photo to age my papers....OMG! Can you say GORGEOUS....love this technique...thx much♥️

[@lynnbradley6731]

Thank you so much. I love the organic quality of using the distress inks in this way.

[@jenlitscreations]

Wonderful. TFS

[@Tiffany.Solorio]

These pages are amazing!! Thank you for sharing. I am glad KZbin recommended it to me.

[@phyllisgoodrich2769]

You totally Rock.....wish I could actually visit you!

[@loriericks3243]

Very very great. Amazing way to use the distressed oxides. I love these.

[@cynthiaagee4813]

LOVE the black & white pages!

[@debbiespringer7961]

Hi Robyn, I just found your videos. I LOVE your explanation on "aging" and the differences as to how it pertains to different regions. I never thought of it that way. You're a great teacher and inspiration. Thank you, and keep doing what you're doing!

[@ammsf8002]

Wooo-hooo! Yippy. BeaU Ti fuL. Thank you Robyn. "Love, Love, Love!"

[@nabbyr8112]

Wow! Your techniques are so inspiring. I am learning so much from you. I have taken a look at other KZbin videos, and have been disheartened to find that the people in some videos feel it is not worth the work to put closed captions in their videos. That means those of us who are deaf or hard of hearing are shut out of the videos. You have my heartfelt thanks for making such an effort to make your art and techniques accessible to everyone.

[@lindaharris2607]

I've been away for a while--so glad to be back and be inspired by you, Robyn! Love these pages!

[@ralphzaionz4029]

Thank you Robyn for all the work you put into these videos. You gave me some ideas to use the distress sprays that I have . 💕 Annie

[@ellenmasters9178]

😏Thanks! As usual you shared great ideas!! Very helpful.

[@sharonmcglasson3270]

Wonderful demo!

[@amyschmidt5523]

I Love your work also......and I love how excited you get when you get the finished product. Thank you so much for showing us in detail how you make your beautiful artwork and to dye for.

[@cynthiaagee4813]

Thank you Robyn! I have several unfinished projects...appreciate you sharing your creative processes and this technique!

[@craftnvintagestyle501]

Hi Robyn, I'm a newby subbie who just came over from Sigita. Loved your work as she said we would. Thanks for sharing. Tricia

[@sabrina-thestarduststitche7624]

Hello Robyn, just discovered your channel: I am in awe of your talent! Love your work and your videos! Entranced new subscriber here!

[@enamary1]

Hi Robyn, thanks again for another excellent video. You can still buy Tim Holtz Distress Replacement Dabber Tops 3pk. All best wishes.

[@peggyprose]

Gosh, I love your work!❤

[@megsgonnamake]

I have a passion for using my oxides to make unique backgrounds..I love the sprays too..The new color that just came out is BEAUTIFUL..Speckled egg..It is like a Robins egg...Paumice stone is my baby though..lol love love love it! Frayed burlap is really cool ..I have to try this. I need to get micas..I have been obsessing over these vids..You make such gorgeous pieces,Robyn!

[@cindystorrs6680]

Robyn, thanks again for another technique! One of things I am appreciating about your videos is that you are helping me fall in love again with products i Have used, but not as fully as possible

[@healingmagichands]

Need to get back to my book! I’ve been deep into a different journal, but watching you has inspired me. My list of supplies I “need” to buy is getting longer and longer. Thanks for being such a generous, positive and inspirational presence, Robyn

[@nelsonartmnelsonartn908]

Robyn, do you Ever sleep? I can’t keep up with all the videos. I love them all.

[@brigitteshantieaglemeare4350]

Nice technique, thanks for the tutorial

[@japhyryder66]

I just stumbled upon your channel and I am in love! I don’t have the Arteza mica but I do have Perfect Pearls so I’m going to give this a try!

[@dinieherbert]

Gorgeous papers, I have all but the pumice stone! I did what you did only glued the backgrounds down and will add my ephemera and stamps later. Can't wait for the next set of papers. Have a great week Robyn. Stay healthy and safe.

[@AzaleaLala]

This is so timely. I was going to tea stain some paper for my journals tomorrow. I think I will add some of these techniques. They are just beautiful.

[@itsnoreentime]

Another great video. Thanks ! I think the problem with vintage photo... is that it is exactly what it says it is... vintage PHOTO not vintage PAPER!! But people are so used to following what everyone else does, they don't stop to think about it...

[@odettepeters7493]

Thanks Robyn! I want to trythe Arteza products!

[@settl100]

I love this new technique. Hopefully I will have time tomorrow to try it out. I wanted to thank you immensely for describing the alternate approach to creating collages. Just the other day, I was working on two in the large gray journal. In each of them I got to the point where I felt I just needed to leave them for a while and return to them at another time. In the past I probably would have continued to work on it and get aggravated. Consequently your discussion of a similar approach was very helpful! Hugs, S

[@denisephilley4843]

Loved this video, did not know how to use these inks

[@loriesavinar1353]

I LOVE this idea! I used to do a similar technique with liquid acrylics. Can't wait to try Distress Oxides!!

[@lizhamilton1492]

I was really inspired by your mica video. And of course I wanted to go out and buy the powders, but I decided to make sure I loved the technique before investing any cash, so I used old eye shadows in place of a raft product and they worked beautifully. Needless to say I would invest in mica powders in the future but I am having a great time with the eye shadows which I was never going to use. Thanks for your inspiration.

[@RobynMcClendon]

Awesome idea! So glad your enjoying it :)

[@rebeccagable9629]

Love, love, love this demonstration/teaching! (And I, too, am bothered when seeing inks, etc, wiped off the glass when they could be put to good use! I tell the person "Oh, no, please don't waste that ink!" Your work is beautiful.

[@KorysArtCafe]

I’m catching up on my “Robyn” videos. Your book is looking so amazing! I love oxides, some of my fav supplies!

[@kathleenshaw932]

Your techniques and prints are beautiful. I, however, need an undo button

[@nancystockmann7264]

Great technique Robyn, thanks for all that you share with us! I hooked up my new HP printer yesterday...I love it !!!!! When you print on onion skin or a slippery paper...will it pull through from the tray below or do you have to do something special to keep it from slipping and jamming...my other printer won't pull it through and gets all caught up. Also, I just cut the pages from a second book and found a much easier way...I used a box cutter with a new blade. You have to be careful not to cut through too far but once you get it it's done in no time!

[@donnaibbott]

Robyn I just love your work and your altered book can't wait to see a flip through....But I'm new to this and watching the beautiful techniques you have from the gelli plate was wondering what is onion skin sorry if this sounds stupid....

[@CreaticityIsLife]

I love watching your videos, and the only down side is that I feel like I need to get some new stuff. It's getting expensive!

[@heartfuldesigns4you]

Absolutely gorgeous! The touch of mica powders takes things to a whole new level. What is in your spray bottle? Water? Thank you thank you thank you!!!

[@tiffhop3544]

Just sooooo inspiring💖💖..I am on the porch doing some tea..coffee and rust dying as I watch you😍😍 then I am going to gather my supplies and try these backgrounds too hoping to add some black ink monoprints to my art schedule today💃..I too love having a stash of backgrounds💖..Thank You so much!!!🤗😘..p.s. whew I do need these micas in my life they make just the right touch on your prints😍😍

[@Crisferusa]

Hi Tiff Hop, Thank you for your input, just wondering how do you get rust dying in your projects? TYIA

[@tiffhop3544]

@@Crisferusa Hi there. Usually I incorporate it into a collage piece in my journal or on a canvas..I rust dye fabric..old book papers..index cards..file folders..even paper bags😍😍..the best is when you lay the items on a paper bag to dry (like from grocery store) and you get some rust staining residue on the bag..oh my just yummy..like a 2 for 1😊..Good Luck💃💃

[@debbiespringer7961]

Robyn, maybe you could give me some advice on what I can do with mica flakes, besides gluing them as is. Any ideas?

[@bette-annflood835]

I now see the reason for all the browns and gray tones. Never appeal to my eye. But have a different look on them now. Thanks again for inspiration.

[@cathyshaw9999999]

Love you art! Really wish you would number the videos- like Altered Book v4~Mail Art Collage. I’m a dinosaur and easily confused

[@ShoshiPlatypus]

These papers are utterly gorgeous, Robyn. Genuine old Venetian walls, eat your hearts out!! Unfortunately we can't get the Patti Pockets Stainz here in the UK, or the beautiful Blick paints, but I eventually managed to track down the PaperArtsy Fresco paints. I attempted the effect with matt emulsion paint (for walls) but it made the paper extremely difficult to pull, and the plate resisted the paint so it tended to creep and ball up. It took several more normal pulls to restore things to normal. Do you know if the Patti Pockets Stainz are acrylic medium/or oil based? They do seem to resist water. I am assuming that clean-up is with water? I'd like to attempt some kind of DIY version since the shipping makes it prohibitive to obtain here in the UK. A question about the Arteza mica powders. Do they have some sort of binder in them? If not, what stops them rubbing off when the page is dry? I watched a video recently of someone using them and she was mixing them with gum arabic and the process seemed pretty laborious. I've always used Perfect Pearls in the past and they come with gum arabic mixed with them. I am just loving your channel...

[@nancykahn4125]

Was going to toss my distress stains or give them away...not any more😎

[@peggyprose]

I wrote notes and you said you used "Laurel Green Mica"....but m.j y brand new set doesn't have that!? Is your set new? Did they change colors?

[@nellcourt8928]

Are the distressed inks archival or do you need to seal them?

[@slapshot6163]

How do you keep your beautiful pages from sticking?

[@peggyprose]

Psst...it's pronounced Ar-Tee-zuh. I asked them. 😊

[@gerriekaychurch658]

Dang I missed you again🙁

[@lisamorales3914]

Love your idea but I had to fast forward because you showed me your papers so many times, I was getting annoyed. Sorry, but I think less talking and get to the point.

[@Crisferusa]

Wow... How gross!!! just saying..

[@grannygrimson]

Just a little rude. Some of us enjoy hearing all Robyn has to explain. You are free to fast forward as you like. No need to complain for her generosity and time.
