Collage Art Journal Page with Distress Crayons - House

[@MikeDeakinArt]

Hi Guys - Just a quickie - I'm in the process of sorting out a different arrangement to stop the camera shaking when I'm working. This will be a permanent fix where I'll be attaching the camera to a separate gimble from my desk so the shaking should stop.

Great focal image. I miss the days when people used to take pride in how they dressed.

Loving this page. It always surprises me how much a bit of white or black will enhance a piece.

[@dorothyradley9391]

Another favourite pages Mike. The addition of the white lines set it off really well. Love the vintage advertisement of the male image showing off the cardigan for men. Brilliant. I enjoyed watching how you brought this page together, and listening to your thought process too, thank you very much. xx

Love this page, the peacock and the white marks make the page. Great job! TFS

Really like this page! Whenever I think I am finished with a spread I always wind up adding splashes and the credit card lines. It always seems to just add so much to the overall look of the page. And I agree withTeresa, it does look Christmassy! Thanks for sharing. My week would not be complete without at least one or two of your videos!

Fantastic page! Thanks for sharing.

Hello Mike. Great page. I really like the effects the distress crayons make. Hope your week is going well.

I haven't had a chance to visit your videos in a while, Mike.....this is lovely! And it has inspired me to get out my oil pastels......that means your piece has touched an artist's soul! Big hug, cat

[@deborahdettor1694]

One of my favorite pages you’ve created!!!😊🔆

[@jimflack9462]

Nice page once again. I have gotten behind in my watching due to company, so i just have sequestered myself in my room, leaving my house guests to their own devices while i catch up on my fav crafting videos. Crass? Probably, but they're gonna be here another 9 days ! Lol!

[@annekedev8811]

Really great page, love the colors en the white stripes.

[@yvonnethistle-brewster2734]

Mike do not feel poor, you are very rich in talent!!!!!!!!

[@lorimarum6261]

That pop of green really set it off nicely...great page

[@janking1838]

I like that, looks great.

[@donnal.hanrahan2824]

[@susanrascone2098]

Very nice, he looks so 50's.

Amazing. I’ve loved everything you’ve used those letters with. Every time I see them in the store, I can’t imagine using them. I’m just going to have to buy them and have them in hand.

[@purplepixie274]

Really like how this turned out, the green and white made it for me. Tfs!

[@gwenwiedner3392]

Great, loved this page!

[@artactually5318]

Love it! Your art videos are so therapeutic for me...I love the orderliness and precision...not sure if any of that makes sense but it really speaks to my OCD lol

[@bellaorizzonte5604]

The marks make the page!! Thanks Mike!

[@gillianfounde9409]

Hi, Mike Like everyone else found the shake off-putting but understand you can't fix everything. Really like this one you did well as usual. Reminded me a little of that posh dancer on 'Strictly come dancing', well done great ideas as usual.

[@alisonroots8752]

Love the letters all touching

[@LindaJuneDisley]

Love this page Mike! Hugs Linda xxx

[@tracylouisew]

Brilliant page, love the dapper gent!

[@greenassgrass]

We love you

[@debbievignola8275]

Very nice Mike.

[@roesta-iljabies4806]

Love the colorcombo :-)

[@teresahiggs7544]

Somehow, maybe its the splashes, but this page looks Christmassy. I like it!

[@tonihall7810]

Love the vin grungy look . Peacock feathers is my fav colour. I have been doing some a t c 's and they just needed something and then I saw the result of using the plastic card and ... Bingo ... That's what I need . Thanks for the idea . Please may I ask that you only do projects that don't shake the table. I had to have a couple of wines to watch this one... And I don't drink .. Xox

[@lynngregory2336]

This is a trip down memory lane for me. I did enjoy it. One thing Mike. I'm afraid I have look away when the camera starts bouncing. Is this it's permanent site, or is it just temporary?

[@lauragreggain7767]

Savin that fan brush for Christmas are we? It's a great page, that cardigan has a real Mr. Rogers feel to it. (Did you watch Mr. Rogers in the UK?) I had a thought about splatters... It's snow envy isn't it.. Really I'm sure you don't get enough snow over there and you're envious of Canada aren't you

[@travelbug1952]

I’m new to art journaling and have a question for you. What do you use to clean your brushes? Especially the brush you use with the matte medium. I’m finding that I can never get those cleaned up properly. Thanks in advance for any tips you might have. Love your videos by the way.

[@MikeDeakinArt]

Hi Sumer wash then in luke warm water with a little dish soap or as we call it here in the UK; washing up liquid!

[@teresahiggs7544]

Your camera was bouncing around a little when you were using your finger to blend in the Distress Crayons.....Thought you would like to know.

[@elisamoore4428]

Camera shakes are very hard to watch

[@dawncornell5751]

The camera shaking is really distracting
