Thank you Mary. Stay Safe

[@gtiernan1]

Beautiful, and thank you for explaining your technique. It is the easiest one to follow. I've watched lots of videos on altering books or boxes, and yours makes the most sense and is the easiest to follow. This is a fun thing to do to upcycle phone boxes or other sturdy boxes and turn them into something pretty and useful. Keeps them out of the landfill, too. Blessings to you. Stay safe, be well!

I made a promise to myself today for not watching any videos about the war this evening and still I started to watch a video from Stand With Us 😢 But I can’t do that today anymore so I came here instead ❤💕 You really are a great teacher and always explaining everything so clearly. I think I first found you when I was so fed up with ordering pretty scrapbook papers and wanted to start making my own papers. And stencils. I don’t understand how have I missed this video. Lovely boxes and thingies. I will try this. Much love from Finland 🇮🇱❤🇫🇮 Always praying for you 🙏

[@lammilee1]

Here it is 2 years after the making of this video, and saw this in my feed tonight! You are such a good teacher! This just excites me to learn of all your techniques and materials used to produce such a high end look! Can't wait to try this! Thank you so much for the inspiration, and for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us! Absolutely in love with all of your work! 👏💖🥰

The owl box is so gorgeous, love the textures and the colors! You're so talented, I wish you'd make more mixed-media videos like this one💖!

Ciao Noit, I am a new subscribe , i watched many of your video, you are an amazing artist. All your work it’s an art. I love all your pieces of art. I don’t speak well English but I hope you understand what I am saying. I send you a big kiss and all my admiration from Rome.

[@annettebenecke5077]

Noit, you are so comprehensive teaching all the finer details to make the projects and do it in such a way as to give confidence to attempt art that I would place in the too hard basket. Loved all of the boxes. The bottle is amazing - so beautiful. Thank you for all the wonderful tutorials. AUSTRALIA - ANNETTE. 🙏🙏♥️🙏🙏

[@dawneaschollmeyer9162]

I like using old fabric softener sheets, recycling is so nice and it smells good lol. also when you separate the napkins keep the part you don't use on your decoupage. Love what you have created it has given me so many ideas to play with. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@1wascallywabbit]

Thank you for sharing this video and your knowledge. I have been wanting to do an altered box but continue to hesitate simply due from being overwhelmed not knowing where or how to start...even though I already knew and understand the fundamentals. I already have a wooden box, gesso, acrylic paints, metallic paints, pearlized paints, clay, moulds, decoupage materials, varnishes etc etc etc...I just couldn't sit down and start. But you said something (couldn't tell you what it was specifically) that has me ready, and excited, to get going on it! ☺ Thanks again, much appreciated!

[@NoitArt]

That's great have fun

[@daireenmcmullin7070]

Thanks Noit you really are so creative. You have kept me going through Covid. Watching you is therapy 😂I’d love to know where you are? Many thanks x

[@pennyalagha8069]

What would the difference be with black or white gesso i only have white gesso do. the painted colors come out different. Love your ideas thanks for sharing i really learn alot from you

[@NoitArt]

If you use white gesso and on top of it dark colors than you'll just need more coats to make sure it's not showing, same thing the other way around. Thank you Penny

This is a very clever way of getting rid of “not knowing what to do with junk we can’t part with.” Thank you for coming up with this idea,,,,there are so many items needing new looks besides boxes - I.e. boring frames. Another wonderful video. You are the best Noit - Margalit

Now all I have to do is find a bunch of tacky jewelry, and other junky stuff and turn them into boxes of beauty as you have done!!!!!! Thank you so much for this video.....hope mine will look at least 1/4 as good as your do!!!! Hugs to you pretty lady!!!!

What beautiful pieces!!! Do you have to spray with a sealer? I was wondering if some of the colors would rub off if you don't...

[@NoitArt]

Thank you Laurie. No sealer needed

[@carolekinsey7835]

I have a soft spot for all kinds of boxes Noit...so imagine how I feel when I see a lovely idea to play with some of them. I'll definitely be having a go at this style. Which means rummaging round to see what bits and bobs (known to me as treasures) I can find. Your boxes are really lovely and so full of interest. There's just not enough hours in a day...don't you find. 😂 Thanks for sharing. X

[@NoitArt]

Thank you Carole. Yep, not enough hours in a day...but sleep is overrated LOL
