Budget Butterfly Canvas Mixed Media for Beginners ♡ Maremi's Small Art ♡

[@gaillggl_collage6391]

I don’t even know if you’ll see this comment 5 years later, but I’m rewatching this in awe, Marta! I recently (2023) purchased this canvas from your store and am fascinated to watch the process of you creating it, while it sits here in front of me!! It’s even more beautiful in person! I’m honored to own it!!! ❤🦋

[@MaremiSmallArt]

I am so happy to hear from you ! I am delighted you have a piece of my heart in your home... I am sure it is taking a special place now and bringing you inspiration! love you !!! Thank you for your message and for choosing to adopt this piece! ❤️ 🩷 🧡 💛 💚 💙 🩵 💜

[@gaillggl_collage6391]

@@MaremiSmallArt You are so sweet!! You probably don’t remember but I’ve mentioned to you several times that I have had a major creative slump. This - and the chipboards I purchased from you - are inspiring me to create again!! Thank you so much!! Love you! 💙🦋

[@NitrosMom074]

I never fail to smile when I watch your videos. Don’t ever stop chatting with us. 😍 I’m as tossed as you about whether I like the “freedom” or the sentiment more. Both are stunning for different reasons.

[@ClareCreationsAL]

INCREDIBLE!! Your ability to take a boring clothespin and use it to create the most awesome background texture is so amazing! Your use of sprays for color and allowing them to blend is just stunning! I'm love this project so much, and it's not because butterflies are my favorite! I love the texture, color, and recycled belt centerpiece! i have belts and belt buckles I have kept because they were gorgeous, and now, thanks to you I have a use for them! Thanks so much for sharing your creativity and inspiring us!

[@MaremiSmallArt]

Leslie Clare Jones Creative Pzazz thank you so so much 💜💛💚💙

[@nannykat1057]

I will repeat what a lady said below in the comments - I love to be able to sit and watch your videos after a long day. You are so upbeat and happy, so talented and creative, and I love to listen to your voice. You are indeed a treasure! :-)

[@kathrynrobinson9989]

That chipboard at end made that gorgeous. Totally completed it. Gorgeous.

[@joyruscitti-hayes73]

What a gorgeous piece of Art Marta, fabulous piece of work as usual.

[@gailjubber9365]

Wow!!!!!! What a wonderful idea! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE listening to you and learning from you 💕 Thank you. Love and hugs from me in South Africa 🇿🇦 xxx

[@shantilley6540]

I absolutely love the clothespins background. Your creativity never ceases to amaze me. I love watching all your videos and hearing your sweet voice. I feel like I'm spending time with a friend.

[@kateo846]

You always make me feel good inside, Marta and I smile or laugh the whole way through your videos. Thank you for being you and bringing joy into people's lives :)

[@jackiekeegan1678]

Gorgeous canvas. Love how the clothes pegs turned out and the colours look fantastic.

[@mskerriboberri]

I just recently found your channel. You have already given me so much inspiration. I was recently laid off my job of 19 years (along with about 75 of my coworkers) so got to finish reorganizing my craft room. Let the crafting resume! I’m feeling very much like doing mixed media. Clothes pins are going into mu Amazon cart.

[@cherylpesutimassie5010]

You definitely don't want to hurt yourself. I broke a couple ribs pressing on a very large paper punch. I was pushing with my hands and torso. It took 6 weeks to heal. Who would think you could hurt yourself scrapbooking. I did...lol I am so happy to see a new long video from you, Marta. Thank you for showing me things I would not have thought to use in art...:)

[@MaremiSmallArt]

Cheryl Massie thank you for sharing your story. Wow broken ribs 🤤

[@riteasrain]

Cheryl Massie I hurt my rib inside my car last year, which was at a standstill in my carport so I know the feeling :O I also had a huge Martha Stewart circle punch and ended up giving it to my daughter because it was so hard to push down. Ridiculous! :D

[@cherylpesutimassie5010]

riteasrain I know it's ridiculous how hard some of these punches are to use. I even bought a tool with a big handle on it for leverage when you put the punch into the tool. Still doesn't work and those big mondo punches are almost 20$ each.

[@cherylpesutimassie5010]

riteasrain sorry about your broken ribs, yeah broken bones really really hurt...:(

[@cherylpesutimassie5010]

Maremi SmallArt thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas and talents...:)

[@marysebrun5624]

So georgous canvas ! You are so creative, funny and relax Martha !

[@karenatkinson4053]

I love the way this turned out. So pretty.

[@witsue]

Loved the way this canvas comes together, the final piece is fantastic. Hugs

[@artikhorasia4727]

I love the way you make the whole process look fun n simple... Love your creations Marta...

[@helencassele1672]

Just came across this and love the use of clothes pins. I must buy some at the dollar store. Beautiful canvas.

[@ScrapForYourLife]

I am so in love with all your projects that you share! The clothspins were beautiful even before you painted them, but it's a gorgeous piece when you finished it!

[@sylviacostello2160]

belt buckles.Love the way you recycle house waste into art.

[@aaronreynolds8587]

You're the best, Marta! Inspiring and lovely as always! Thanks for all you do!

[@edejesus331]

Absolutely STUNNING, Marta!

[@galewhiteman2047]

You are adorable. I love listening to you after a long stressful work day. I think it turned out nice... I loved the background when it was still in it’s natural state...with just a little white...but, I did like your finished piece. Thank you for another great video.

[@elizabethpollard6029]

Love, love, love it. Blown away! In awe💓💓💓

[@heatherrowell3008]

WOW!! I love it! You never fail to amaze me!

[@sarah20az]

I love hearing you talk while working. Your english is wonderful! I am not a huge yellow or orange fan, but on your canvas somehow I like the colors!

[@user-Tn2Dn]

Another beautiful piece! You are so much fun to watch.

[@MorganASpencer]

Oh so excited to see you have another canvas and long video!! I so enjoy spending time creating with you!!!

[@maggiedudley8756]

Love, Love, Love the Butterfly Canvas!

[@dawnzamora2902]

Absolutely love this piece Marta! I've had a package of clothes pins from the dollar tree for a little while now. I had originally purchased them to craft with, but no idea what. I've been going through a Crafters block of late, even after watching videos, although inspired, sit down and nothing. But your wonderful video not only inspired me but also reminded me to pull out my junk piles and those clothes pins and give it a go. At least if I get half way through and my spark burns out, I don't feel I've ruined those special pieces. So again TFS your stunning creation Marta. Beautiful as always, but also thank you for the reminder to just "give it a go. Sorry for such a long message. Take care Marta, Wishing you all many many smiles. 😄 xx, Dawn 🦋

[@qteecarddesigns]

Amazing!! Thank you for making me realize I dont have to have all the new items and can create with what I have!!

[@jeanieferretti4203]

I love this piece! Wow turned out amazing Marta! Thank you

[@sanne46]

You have the greatest ideas Marta. Stunning and yet with things everyone has in their home. Love your art!

[@angb1923]

I truly LOVE this canvas! I loved each process of it. Thank you!

[@sues8971]

Oh my goodness! This is so beautiful! I like how the sides turned out, when you didn't color them all black. I have a similar butterfly, from a broken necklace (now I know what I can try to use it for). Again, thank you so much for such a great tutorial. I love when Emily cam in and waved Hi! Hugs to you and your family!

[@SAn.34]

Loved watching the whole process for this beautiful piece 😍😍😍

[@aprilcarter749]

Beautiful as always 💗!! Love the smaller saying then the freedom tag. Clothes pins a great ideal for a background. TFS.

[@carlahubbard7561]

I love how you think out loud! I love this canvas, I recently bought some magicals and have been afraid to use them!

[@fohaaamir3017]

😍 Finalllyyyy after getting bored for whole day on net I have found something worth to watch

[@rainbarber7657]

I love it (in your singing voice)....lol! The clothespins truly look like a wall and that is amazing. Very well done Marta!

Stunningly Beautiful. I love it. Thank you so much for sharing. xox

[@daniellescicchitano7542]

I love the clothespins idea. Gorgeous like always and very inspiring

[@bonniekitt1]

I think the word you were looking for was “skimp” which means expend or use less time, money or material on something. Love the project, as usual. Clever use of clothes pins! ❤️

[@sandralopes8548]

Hi dear friend! I agree with you freedom would be covering the gorgeous butterfly 🦋!!! Just love this canvas... guess I’ll have to try it!!!😉

[@MaremiSmallArt]

[@ElisaMariaDesigns]

So beautiful! I love the clothespins! Gave me an idea to use mine to create a "picket fence" effect. I have to try the glue gun dots too! Thanks Marta!

[@craftysandyscards]

Fabulous Marta, love the colours and what a brilliant idea to use clothes pegs! You are amazing 😉

[@theresa_lili]

What a stunning piece!!

[@shannonharris4330]

[@MaremiSmallArt]

Shannon Harris so happy to hear this thank you xxxx

[@pamwolvekamp4896]

They are called tweezers :) I love your English. You have done such a great job learning a new language. I am in the process of learning Spanish. I have a long way to go. As always, just love, love, love your work. My favorite KZbin Channel by far!!!!

Thank you Marta. I love watching this while I played with Jane Davenport Watercolors.

[@wendyk2557]

[@saralobello5048]

I love this idea! I can't wait to try something like this!

[@onetwstdngel]

I love this! It's gorgeous from just simple bits!

[@debrajoyce4083]

Love it! Thank you for the enjoyable time. You are very calming at the close of a busy day. Thanks for the ideas. I too am a hoarder of things I've found as life has past. What a pleasure to put them in a design. Then maybe people won't say, what are you holding on to that for! Inspiring as usual. I love bits and pieces that are interesting or trigger a memory. Oh, I would have liked the title off of the butterfly. Upper left or lower right, on a long clothes pin maybe.

[@lisagomme2602]

Fabulous idea! Love it!

[@jennynoorloos3322]

love this! Thank you for this idea, I definitly will try this!

[@ChattylaineCreates]
