Watching these Finnebair videos is the same as watching a fantastic movie or an equally great book: you never know where the story is going until the very end! & it's there that all will be revealed! I love it! 💘 Bravo!

[@roden70]

Wow! This is stunning.

[@MsAusarian]

One of my favourite things was watching how the clock on the book went from 9.45 to 3.10. An amazing amount of work.... Simply stunning.

[@kellihull7600]

Absolutely STUNNING

Thank you Kelli!

[@laurielarson1196]

Y'all are amazing miss Ola!! It's a joy to watch you create and of course purple is one of my favorite colors. Thanx so much for shar'in darl'in!

[@OlaKhomenok]

Thank you dear Laurie! Happy to see you here again!

[@elizekohler6199]

Beautiful colours ❤️

[@MsAusarian]

I have watched loads of mixed media altered projects. This by far is my favourite. The colours, the journal, the clock that actually tells the time, the cheesecloth with structure medium, the fact that you explained that after gelling and gluing the base it was then time to glue and gesso the main focal elements (I learnt from that too), you highlighted to edges with gold, you didn't gesso the back cover but used waxes directly. Fantastic video. I will be purchasing mediums and waxes with my very next wages. You have inspired me. Thank you.

[@OlaKhomenok]

Thank you! I quit this hobby a year ago 😁

[@MsAusarian]

Ola Khomenok oh my goodness, don’t quit. You’re brilliant. And if you really really want to, message me and I’ll purchase your whole supply stash. Ps. What art are you doing now?

[@OlaKhomenok]

@@MsAusarian Thank you dear! But I did quit :), now I make dolls :) If you interested, I still have a lot of steampunk embellishments and waxes to sell. Give me your email and I'll send you photos.

[@MsAusarian]

@@OlaKhomenok Hiya, did you get my email? (agent giggles)

It is stunning. Really wonderful; composition, colours, everything. Art! I have never tried mix media because I have no confidence but hope to do it one day. I would like to make like this with gears for an album cover, present for my grandson who performs magic in Gear theatre in Tokyo. Thank you so much for your tutorial anf for making my dream.

It's awesome! I would prefer this project on canvas.

[@heatherherrmann1777]

This is absolutely gorgeous! Can't wait to try my new waxes. I've never used them before but got the blue velvet opal and the vintage silk opal! I think I will likely end up with all of the opal ones. Lol!

[@paulabarnett3465]

I love your work! When using the waxes do you have to spray them with a clear sealer to keep them from rubbing off?

[@debbievignola8275]

This turned out awesome Ola. Love it. tfs. =^^=

[@OlaKhomenok]

Debbie Vignola thank you dear!

[@bobreed6482]

Will the wax rub off? In order to use this absolutely beautiful piece of art as an journal does this wax have to be sealed?

[@yvonnethistle-brewster2734]

Love your work!! I am in Canada & am unable to buy these products at my MichaelsWish I could!!!!

[@veevee6225]

Why didn’t you use 3-d matte gel for the chipboard pieces? I never have used 3-d gel because I feel it won’t work for everything. I used another company ‘s glue that promised, “it holds everything”. But my project fell apart. Not a happy crafty camper. So I don’t want a repeat of that disaster. Would the 3-d gel work for everything?? And does it really hold heavy and light pieces. Appreciate your help. Your book is GORGEOUS!!!!

[@OlaKhomenok]

If you looking for really strong adhesive for mixed media projects, you should use Extra Heavy Matte Gel by Golden. Now I can tell this, because I not design anymore for any company :)

[@harriettezmalloy7182]

Ola Khomenok I’ve been using Super Heavy Matte Gel by Liquitex. So far no issues with holding whatever I put it to.

[@elkstar9165]

Love it! But didn't you publish this awhile ago? Can't wait for a new one... hope you're better!

[@OlaKhomenok]

Thank you dear! I created this tutorial for Prima. It was published on Prima channel. Now it's my own channel :)

[@elkstar9165]

Got it! Now it's clear...lol

[@elkstar9165]

I'm always wanting more of these types...you are so great at them! I've been outside doing flowers and working on the tractor and my chainsaw. So nice compared to negative 30...so I have a bunch of canvases ready to color. But that is the step where I screw them up. So I procrastinate!

[@danianaji6077]

That's such a brilliant work 😍😍😍 Do u have any idea how can i get the wax coz i am not able to find it at any art stroe around me thanks.

[@OlaKhomenok]

Thank you Dania! You can order all waxes online, like I do. From these stores: www.scrapbook.com or www.mixedmediaplace.com

[@pewpewcat7679]

Amazon.

[@joycegandy7305]

I love this and the watch on there is so cute:-)

[@Lunares33]

Precioso !! 💖💖💖

[@Meanne77]

This is awesomely beautiful, I love it! (The fact that the clock is working cracks me up! :D) Do you need to seal the waxes to prevent them from staining everything them touch or do they dry after a while?

[@OlaKhomenok]

Thank you! These waxes do dry after a while. And after drying they permanent. But anyway an item like notebook or box, which you going to use, better to seal.

[@Meanne77]

Thank you for your answer! What do you use for sealing them?

[@OlaKhomenok]

You can use any acrylic varnish in spray

[@Meanne77]

thanks for the tip!

[@waukonstandard]

With handling and especially in heat waxes rub off. How did you seal this project?

[@jean-63]

COULD YOU PLEASE REPLY TO "YOUR" VIDEO @Ola Khomenok ???????????? Hello fellow crafter, I just recently made my very first mixed medium wood box and I'm finding now that it's completely finished and dried, that when closed, the lid sticks.... any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Also; am I supposed to wait until my texture paste is dry b4 removing the stencil, cause my project keeps coming out like it's smudged, which makes the writing stencils not legible? Thank you
