[@verachyz9079]

Hi, Marta, so I took your advice from one of your earlier videos and I bought a magazine for 25 cents. This is going to be my starter art journal in which I'm going to use free or cheap materials and supplies from around my home. Thank you for inspiring me and so many others.

[@Momof2gr8boys6494]

so excited to see another long, chatty, teaching video. Please don't speed it up and play the music. Your videos are perfect just the way they are. 😃

[@MaremiSmallArt]

aww thank you !!! xoxox

[@nadyasharp7609]

Momof2gr8boys6494 I agree with you completely, you said it perfectly!

[@deedless77]

me too, i actually would only want videos where you talk and be you, i feel like i get to know you a bit more each video i watch, and i wouldnt care much for just a video with music, i would still like to see your art,but the experience wouldn't be the same, some of the other videos in the past i didn't like that there was no talking, or very little in some.Please keep being yourself and dont mind what the few say. they can fast forward if they want to.

[@v.wehrens4283]

Exactly my thoughts! I really like these process video's you do Marta.

[@anpen2282]

Yes they are perfect , I love it!

[@chrisbaker5035]

Marta, listen the the majority of your viewers, they love your videos as they are - and that is how they should be. There are only very few that want shorter speeded up ones, there are many choices out there to suit their tastes. Keep going as you are please xx

[@lozinozz7567]

Chris Baker. Thanks, you said what I was going to say. There’s a reason I’m watching Marta and not the speeded up ones :)

[@sabinecuppers]

And still it is in 2019. 👍🍀

[@susananncherrysetter3902]

I love your long chatty video's, I "catch" the art bug while listening to you and watching you try out different ways of doing art. It makes me want to make art. thank you so much!

[@rikajooste6877]

I love it when you speak during your videos, it give me glimpses of why you are doing something in a certain way versus the videos where I must read the words and try to see how something is done. No, I love your accent and to get engaged in the creative process - almost like a visit from my Fairy Craft Mother. LOL

[@retiredandsassy]

Love how you named Marta your Fairy Craft Mother. Maybe we should have shirts made LOL

[@bettybriscoe720]

I love your authentic long chatty videos and I love hearing you talk and the real time excitement and enthusiasm that you have. I love, love, love it

[@jacquiebeads9649]

Please keep doing videos exactly the way you do. It is like having a friend in the room and I love it! Also, I find it helpful to know what your thought process is as you go along. Thank you for taking the time to do this this for us. Crafty hugs 💖😊

[@RobertasArtisticAdventures]

I love how both of these gorgeous projects turned out, Marta! You are certainly artistically blessed! Everything you create is gorgeous and fun! Love the processes and conversation! God bless you for sharing your talent, and being an encourager and teacher to those of us who are learning to create art!

[@DelfinaZapata]

I love that you are not afraid to experiment and show your process. Thanks for sharing!

[@dorismartinez7307]

I could write you a letter on how much I loved this tutorial,, Love that you used all the different products at each level of price point. But more than anything I loved that you used water colors, (since this what I have ), the layers of color and texture made me sooo happy. I learn so much from this tutorial and just can't thank you enough! So thank you, thank you, thank you for all time and thought you give us to help us along this artful journey! Have a wonderful and safe trip!

[@SueHawkins6816]

I really enjoy the addition of the white to your butterflies. With the white, they take on the look of a galaxy or night sky. The butterfly on the bottom looks like a sunset sky in the desert. Beautiful!!

[@AlysonWhite]

I love these! Long, short, or what ever length you feel inspired to share with us, is truly magical and inspirational. Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into each and every one of your YT videos. 💕

[@carolinedashchi7220]

Sweetie, we are huge fans! So, don't change a thing...chat to your heart's content. You give us your valuable time, teach us, inspire us...I don't get why people ask for shorter videos or even complain. What you're doing for us is a free, invaluable lesson--so, THANK YOU. This was yet another fantastic video. Love how your pages turned out--exquisite, CLASS! Btw, your vocabulary amazes me!

[@kimrob70]

Hi Marta, I am new to your channel and I have binge watched lots of videos for the last few days and as a craftaholic myself I have had a wonderful time listening to you and enjoying your thought process as you make Your art. Please just always be you and create in your own time, I heard your fear about the length of your video because a few have been complaining but I love love love listening to the creativity flow as you are working as it does when I am working on a project whether it in front of an audience or just for myself. Truly your art is very special and I thank you for your time and input into your art and in achieving your crafty goals. With love from UK , Kim x

[@donnapoirier6418]

Love you chatting, your explanations, your opinions, your views and your artistry! Thank you Marta!

[@donnaconaway6702]

From one Donna to another, well said!

[@Jessiswatchingyou]

I cannot express how much you are my favourite artist on KZbin. You inspire me to do better artwork, and I really love how long your videos are. I feel like when art videos are sped up, you lose a lot of detail and it's a little less inspiring. Your long videos with real-time speaking show people that art does take time, so they're much less likely to give up if they aren't done in 10 minutes. Never change💕

[@riteasrain]

I'm so glad you don't do voiceover, or music in the background. Music is so distracting in tutorial videos especially since I'm a musician and the first thing my brain listens to is the music not the talking lol. As for length of video, it's your channel, your decision 😊 I'm on holidays lying on my hotel bed with a pillow supporting my Android tablet watching your video 😁 Great tutorial and helpful tips throughout.

[@judifoster8]

I find the music annoying!

[@beece2413]

I agree! The music is distracting. Marta is unique. Love the long chatty ones!!

[@385lidia]

Most people watch your videos because of you and your attitude to art. So chat and don't speed anything. I personally love it that way. Thank you for taking time to teach.

[@emmascreativecorner1606]

I really love your long videos. If they were sped up it would be harder to create along with you and to understand your process. One of the great things about your videos is that they are tutorials and not just watching you create. We learn so much from you. Also, I love when you are chatting to us :)

[@roseryan1542]

I'm a huge fan of these types of videos. Art should be enjoyable and a big budget isn't necessary. I'm sure this is encouragement for many who have the desire, but don't have the funds to spend on artists' quality supplies. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.

[@jeanettereynolds3151]

Yes I agree with you totally.

[@nanettestanes1978]

Marta you couldn’t disappoint anyone with your talent . Always you come up with amazing projects that we all can learn from and your personal connection . Is so important to everyone who enjoys your connection with us. I know I love listening to you with long or short videos. I just love your videos. I look forward to spending time with you and the children.

[@pampreece3851]

I love the long videos when you are teaching us something. If people can't watch the long ones all at once, maybe watch them in sessions, like 20 minutes at a time. Your videos are so much fun and impart lots of information, for me at least. Oh, Belgium....you lucky girl and those lucky, lucky students! I hope you get some time to enjoy yourself while you're there. 🦋💕

[@Quill._]

Your videos are perfect, the length, the content and especially your authenticity. Thank you.

[@kathleenstrittmatter6895]

No other KZbin channels have inspired more to toss caution to wind and create. Thank you. I love your long videos.

[@lyndsaymackenzie2757]

Your videos are amazing, I love the chat as much as the art. I feel it's about your heart connection to the viewer as much as what you are doing. Xxxx

[@donnaconaway6702]

I agree wholeheartedly with you Lyndsay.

[@saralobello5048]

Drinking my morning coffee watching this lovely transformation while the kids run circles around me lol! Beautiful! These pieces turned out GORGEOUS!!

[@rickiquilt]

I love this video! And all your suggestions. I like the butterflies...but, I ❤️ LOVE ❤️ the flowers! Thank you and I love the long chatting video!!!

[@maoosterman]

Maremi I'm so glad you do your videos in real time. I love listening to your thoughts on your process. I prefer realtime videos hands down. TFS

[@FrostyFoxy14]

I really appreciate you as a person. I see that you want to help people with their art and you take a lot of your time reviewing art supplies such as this video. You also give plenty of ideas for so much and you find ways to make it as budget friendly as you can. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!

[@Mayflower11558]

Thank you so much for taking the time to show us this video. Those of us who are just starting out and have no idea what to buy will find this very helpful, and also those who are on a budget.

[@sallymander1068]

I love watching all the little steps you take. I'm in awe over your work. You give me inspiration to experiment and try a new technique. I have adult attention deficit disorder and your videos keep me focused. I dont think you need to explain yourself to anyone about your style. If they don't like it, there are 1000's of other crafters they can watch. I think you are an artist with your craft. 💜💙💚 how these turned out!

[@NorasJournals]

I for one love listening to you talk I never get bored I truly enjoy your stories n the moments you share w us! Please don’t ever change!!💜

[@robertbarnett8211]

Tools are great and fun. But the talent comes from within, not within your checkbook, but your soul.

[@sweett5896]

Love it! I love that you don't speed it up. When im creating while watching your video, I feel like we're creating together. I wouldn't change it. Ppl can skip ahead if they want to fast forward. ❤️

[@linmims3049]

This has to be added to my favorite Marta videos...love the length, love the content, love the experiment, love the oops and fix...great video. Never, ever stop chatting to us!

[@sheilaironside8099]

I very much enjoy the 'chatting' videos to the music videos. I learn so much more. Very much love both pieces!!! Thanks so much for sharing.

[@rainoftranquility7735]

I absolutely love this video! I love how beautiful they both turned out using very simple things. this gives me great ideas to add to my travel kit. I worry about taking my more expensive items on the road but I see that I can do many of the same things with the less expensive items. I would feel much better taking the cheaper items on the road. I wouldn't worry as much about losing something or ruining a product if I accidentally left it exposed to the elements. GREAT PAGES MARTA!

[@kcalla4903]

So awesome to watch you! I feel like I am getting away with having a free class that i should actually be paying for. I appreciate your time and care that you take for us! and listening to you speak is the icing on the cake! Thank you! I hope you enjoy Belgium!

[@reikiessence11]

Marta, I have been watching your videos for a few months. Lately I have viewed other people’s as well, however tonight I ended up back on your channel. I was feeling Anxiety/Sadness and heading your voice, watching you create was so soothing !!! Thank you. Please don’t change. We love how you present ! Much appreciation all the way from Australia. Oooh and good work on your English - you do such an amazing job. xxx

[@lesleyritchie5085]

You never let us done. Loved that you shared this with us. People have the option to make the video faster and mute if they don’t want to hear you. I’m sure most of us like to hear what you have to say. Interesting and informative ❤️

[@starrv34]

Love it when you are so creative at a pace we can appreciate. Although I can never create as you I can create because of you and your patience. I dislike the speed videos as I don’t learn. I learned so much from you

[@gilmac9950]

Marta I love these videos comparing inexpensive products. Since I fund all my journaling classes and materials it's good to know which inexpensive products I can use during the classes, that won't break my bank! Thank you!

[@klaire74]

I love both of them so much! And i enjoyed every second of this video, is so good to hear you talking, feeling. Thank you so much for everything what you do! ♥♥♥

[@rubysousa4338]

watched this video from beginning to end never feel like your videos are to long you have an incredible talent and make it so easy to sit back and totally enjoy the process of your creations what a wonderful inspiration you are Marta and I pray for your safe journey

[@sharonnorthen9069]

Thank-u for the reminder to use the best tools and that is your hands and creative heart. So awesome and so enjoyed the step by step video. Please don't stop the long chats. Love them!

[@meredithcaven436]

I absolutely love listening to you chat and explain everything, so don't ever change your wonderful videos 😆 you can't please everyone unfortunately but I know you sure try. keep up the wonderful things you do!

[@MindlessCrafting]

I love the style of your videos...I find myself wanting more! Really enjoying your creative process! :)

[@ClareCreationsAL]

I have some cheap and some expensive. I'm excited because now I have the confidence to create using my cheap art mediums!! Thank you so much for sharing because without YOU I wouldn't be half as confident with my art. For example,, I never thought my creations were ART until you! Thank you!! You taught me to Embrace imperfection.!

[@DC-lg3ee]

Mrs. Marta, I feel your videos are perfect as u do them. Voice over is so impersonal. I enjoy how u explain and talk about your steps. Koodles to you staying true to your crafting family:)

[@gailjubber9365]

Absolutely LOVE your videos!!! So THANKFUL that you chat along 🌸💕🌸💕🌸💕🌸

[@emmyyoung5307]

Keep your videos just the way you do them!!!! LOVE THEM!!!

[@astrababe4]

Brilliant video Marta and you wouldn't be able to tell which was which by looking at the finished pieces. They are both beautiful in their own right. I love love love them. Thank you for sharing the video with us. Hugs n love Pat xxxxx

[@CrazyGreeneyedCraftylady]

You never have to worry my dear....99% of us love you...the 1% that give you a thumbs down are.........WELL YOU KNOW lol

[@reddragun43]

Beautiful as always. So nice to see that great results can be had within a small budget.

[@christinesrikala4755]

Just be you...we enjoy watching your videos, your accent & creative flair.

[@ullazitabinder2091]

love them both! And no, don't change your way of making your videos, I enjoy your chat so much, free of distracting music, and full with your ooopsies and ohhh's! Promise you, you will not change that :) you are unique!

[@karenorr2964]

I love your videos the way they are you are an amazing teacher I love the chatting please don't change. A think great projects thanks for sharing

[@gsd132]

I love your videos Marta, please don't shorten them or play music, as I really love you explaining as you create your projects. It is sooooo helpful. Thank you! 💗 xxx

[@elizekohler6199]

Video started to play automatically, after watching something else - I think you might be the only artist, that's teaching about low cost supplies, I always buy things but never know how to use it.❤️🙏

[@karentarolli3969]

Maremi your video was long, but for me it was perfect because it showed the process you go through in creating a mixed media project. This is new to me so I liked watching you use different products and mediums. I’ve been a rubber stamper for years, and slowly becoming a fairly good water colorist, but journaling and mixed media is a new adventure. Thanks for sharing.

[@Judymontel]

thank you for doing it in real time. I learn a LOT from the real process, even when I'm feeling impatient. Sometimes I don't even notice... later I realize how much Iearned from watching these. Good for you!

[@patriciabeekman4134]

it evolved into a beautiful work of Art! I LOVE THEM BOTH And I enjoy sitting beside you while you work and listening to the conversation!

[@robinholbrook6576]

Don’t change a thing! Part of the delight is YOU! LOVE your enthusiasm as much as your art! You are delightful!

[@pattiscraftcorner3530]

I enjoy the step by step and not rushing through. I really enjoyed this as I have always loved crafting but have not always used all the techniques or products and this really helped me to know what to use for the effect your wanting. They are both beautiful.

[@rhondachapman3688]

I really enjoy your long videos, please don't shorten them. Both your creations were gorgeous, as usual, but I love, love, love 💞the cheaper one.

[@terurexroad6401]

WONDERFUL! YOU HAVE INSPIRED ME TO GET BACK TO JOURNALING AND MORE MIXED MEDIA PROJECTS. ALTHOUGH JUST COLORING IN BOOKS IS SO MUCH SIMPLER, I AM READY FOR THE MESS AGAIN THANK YOU

[@cat-annechats5362]

BEAUTIFUL!!! My favorite is the flowers! You did a GREAT JOB showing us!!! Thank you!

[@lindatheodorou9827]

Both the cheap and the expensive really look nice.

[@cindypratt6633]

I am enjoying your tutorial. I like that you are comparing the expensive vs cheaper supplies. It gives those of us on limited income, options. Thank you.

[@GoodbyeAngel]

Hey there, I'm watching this video while the gesso on my first project dries. I love hearing you talk and explain and think out loud. Like many have said, I too catch the creative bug while I watch and listen to you. So thank you!

[@vivienneaxon3529]

Thank you for this. I have to say, I appreciate the longer videos and the exploring the process. If times short, I break the viewing up :)

[@KissMyCreative]

I enjoyed this vid! I actually like the cheap supply page better! Thanks for sharing ☺️💕

[@MaremiSmallArt]

me too :) :)

[@sachetfm]

It's fly swatter!

[@deannabates1575]

I just found you a few days ago. I FINALLY started my art journal while watching your videos. And talk all you want! I just love listening to you. Evan my husband will stop and listen while walking by, and he’s not a crafter. His love is photography.

[@charlenebyington7405]

Oh my . . absolutely gorgeous . . awesome job, just love them both, but got to love the the flower first. . 😎 😎 😎 amazing job.

[@kittyzsfd]

I love watching your videos. You are delightful to listen to. So kind and encouraging.

[@sunnyphillips6700]

Please DO keep your videos real time -because of they are true and from the heart honest which I think often helps those who are starting out on the journey of art to understand-there is no right or wrong -quite simply we all just enjoy/and from this grows and learn to be confident in our art and expression ☺thank you for continuous inspiration -- I have taught art for thirty yrs now and love the way you share its truths . x

[@shirleykathan-sayess5764]

First, I love your videos. I love your authenticity. I love seeing Hannah and the way you interact with her. I have learned so much from you and always enjoy watching every minute!!! Second, I don't like music. It is annoying and distracting to me. I admire your honesty and feel like I am with you while you talk and explain what you are doing and why. I appreciate your talking about the materials you are using, it helps me a lot. Third, you proved your point that you can still produce beautiful art without spending a lot of money. THANK YOU! Don't change. ❤️

[@jess424619]

I Love your videos just they way they are I started art Journaling because of your videos. Keep them the way they are just perfect

[@juliasatterwhite9835]

They are so beautiful! I love them both! You are a friendly person who I love having in my home, that is what your videos are to me -having you in my home. Just keep being you! that is why your creativity is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing! God bless!

[@adrianemenezesarts]

I love how your inspiration comes easily. I like to use alternative materials, because here in Brazil it is difficult to find the good ones, and when they are, they are very expensive. I loved both. I love your videos !! Thank you, kisses and hugs!

[@DianeClancy]

I love that your videos are longer and really show your process!! This is incredible to see these processes together!! They are both lovely and I think I like the flower even more ❤️

[@tinamccann8344]

I always enjoy videos that compare products, it’s also helpful when I am purchasing my own products, so thank you for making this video.

[@gerriscarbro2480]

You are amazing ! Love the cheap one better ... Love your presentation ... Love to hear your voice ... What a joy you are ! You have really shown me how to use so many things and I am really grateful for that. Can't wait to watch you again ....

[@Tink70]

I am learning too ... so many things to try...What I have loved the most is that your have a media book of projects...I love paper, paints, markers...Color combinations....You have given me so many ideas... some nights I do not sleep I just cultivate projects... I love listening to you when I am working on my projects, you have different items to work with and when I go to the hobby shop I look for things I have seen you use ... to try. You open my horizons on my ideas...Thank you so much for sharing your time and ideas Thank You So Much Again for Sharing Yourself

[@lindasmith8625]

I was up very early (too early ;-) this morning and saw this page after watching The Frugal Crafter. What a wonderful discovery~~~I found YOU!! What a GEM you are! So full of life, passion, creativity and mostly heart, from which I believe to be where the most beautiful and authentic art comes from. 💕 The time just flew by watching and listening to you. Please, please don't ever worry about how long a project takes. You are so real and speak from the heart as you share your artistic process and it takes as much time as it takes!! Don't apologize for that...the creative process is beautiful and you are just a joy to listen to. As for your butterfly (more expensive craft mediums) and flower (less expensive), I would never know which was which and honestly if I had to choose my favorite, I would pick the less expensive page. But they both turned out BEATIFULLY!!! When you used the graphite and outlined your watercolor washes on the butterfly page, you instantly tied the piece together seemlessly and I suddenly loved it! I enjoyed watching this video more than I can say and will be back for more!! Thank you so much for sharing your passion for life and art, your talent and mostly for your beautiful heart! Blessings to you Marta! XOX

[@debbiet498]

I enjoyed every single word of your video! It was a wonderful idea to do a comparison. If you fast forwarded it, you'd miss so many of your techniques. I love you as a designer, I use a lot of your methods when working on a project. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.

[@christinegunning1188]

Dont stop chatting with us.......I love listening to your ideas, everything is perfect so please dont change anything X

[@jaynesills1248]

Marta, as usual, Wonderful Video!!! I love long video's, and yours especially! Thanks so much for doing this comparison with us. love any video you post. Hugs

[@donnakae42]

Thank you so much! I am hesitant to try mixed media. I also appreciate your comparison of the craft products. I am very impressed.

[@calie01915]

love your personal touch on your videos. keep up with your style. good to know that comparing is a good thing. i have seen people use gift tissue paper, used dryer sheets, and what ever they have at home. you do an amazing job in your art and videos.

[@mamof9]

Love watching this video,I've watched it twice. I enjoy you talking us through the videos and how you explain the the different products work. Thank you for a great video and gorgeous iideas x

[@sharonw2008]

Oh Marta, please don't change the way you do your videos. it's like having a wee crafting friend pop up to spend time with 😊 if others want shorter videos they have the option to change the settings, most of us though just love it the way it is. Safe travels and 'see' you soon xx

[@EugeniaRedmond]

Yay! When you announce an upcoming video I wait for it like a kid on Christmas Eve lol. Your long videos are my FAVORITE! I'm sure I have said that before. Thank you for showing us that you really cannot tell the difference between art done with cheaper products and fine ones! I'm one of those people that go and buy name brand items because I feel I have to but no longer will I feel that way if there is something I want but can't afford it. Make do with what you have is what you teach and that is fantastic. Thank you so much for another video

[@MaremiSmallArt]

Thank you !! thank you, enjoyed your lovely comment xoxox

[@lorrisbits]

Wow you are amazing, I could watch you for hours so no complaints about the length - it is wonderful to watch and listen to someone positive and empowering! : ) Lorri

[@drdmom9700]

I love your long videos. I love your voice and accent. Your videos give me lots of inspiration and bring me up when I am down. You are so talented. Thank you for all you do!!!

[@arleenneu5575]

I like when your videos are long and detailed .... I find them to be relaxing.

[@caroldavila7615]

I love the pink one sooo much better. You cant tell they were the less expensive products...great job!!!

[@janetseager4069]

Don't change a thing. I think every minute is fun, and I love your thought processes

[@Diana623-69]

WOW - posted long ago in 2017 and still good as new . . . not forgetting "beautiful, fun, creativity". Prayers to you & yours in 2022 ~ let's all craft to clear saddening energies

[@katkathi8882]

I have no problem with the length of your videos, I enjoy your talking and showing how you do things in real time, and if I have to stop for any reason, I just watch the rest later, I would not fast forward because I hate to miss exactly what you are doing or saying!.... Thank you for sharing your process with me!!!
