[@katherinehazard7580]

Marta, also you were the first artist I watched in KZbin! I just love all of your work!

[@SandrineSagenscrap]

Cc marta très jolie 😊

[@reJOYCEful1]

I am LOVING the two books I have purchased and YES I am addicted to mixed media cards and have made several in the last week or so - THANK YOU!

[@heatherhughes2955]

I love this! I just watched your “Breaking the blank page” series. I made 10 pages with backgrounds to build on and I made one page with squares. I took different papers of the same color theme and cut them into squares and then glued them down in a grid pattern. Now I’m going to add some of your beautiful fairies and butterflies from your new collage books, which I can’t get enough of. I’m having so much fun. Im going through my studio looking at things with new eyes. “Would this work as a start for a blank page?” Cutting up magazines, using up scrapbook paper I’ve been holding onto forever because I keep thinking I’m going to do something really cool someday. Your idea about basically not sitting there thinking about it too long and to just start gluing it down has really opened a creative doorway for me that has been closed for awhile now. I stated out with my sons leftover school supplies, magazines, calendars, greeting cards, brown paper grocery bags, and whatever else I had since it was all I had. Over the years I was able to begin buying really good art supplies and scrapbooking kits and papers like crazy. I accumulated too much stuff and it cut off my creative spirit inside and that has been hard for me. Losing that intuitive feeling toward creating anything has made it a struggle emotionally, along with other life issues along the way of course. I’m just so happy to have finally gotten past a lot of that now. Except for too much stuff! 😜 You wouldn’t believe the things I threw away before we moved. I would love to share! Again, MARTA, thank you for being you!! ♥️🙏🏼 I was gonna ask…have you thought about doing a collage book with birds?

[@juliecurtis9517]

I'm glad you fussy cut on screen. It shows me how easy and quick the images are to fussy cut. 😊

[@dorisandujar8277]

It's my pleasure to have you in my home, Marta. You are sweet and your videos are so inviting. I was excited to see a new video using one of your new books. I have been watching every video since unboxing the books. I love how you used tiles in the background. I'm learning so much and more as I watch you create. I have the fairy book and I'm waiting for my next book, the flower book. I checked out the new books available on Amazon. They look so fantastic. Eventually I will have the whole collection, one at a time. Thank you for everything you do and also all that you share. I'm gaining confidence because you are always giving me positive words of encouragement. Until next time. 🙏❤️🧚‍♀️🧚🦋🐆🦨🐿️🦉🦌

Good GRAVY I love this particular collage book. It's kinda expensive for me but I may just have to spring for it. the images are just PERFECTLY BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for doing a little flip-through at the end! I really wanted that.

[@gmacampbell2908]

I am addicted to mix media and everything with paper crafting TFS🙏 Big hugs to you my sweet and beautiful friend🤗

[@danielalilianarotariu7420]

Beautiful ❤❤❤

[@pamalapeterson5352]

Bought all your books they are beautiful and I am enjoying collaging with them! Thank you for sharing your creative ideas with me! ❤️❤️🙏🦊

[@ThePurringCatStudio]

Oh Marta this page is so beautiful! Adding the lines going down was the best idea. It added the perfect balance to your page. -Now I just saw you made them lighter (I edited my comment after seeing it lol) Even lighter, the lines are still somewhat there. Shadowing is such a powerful method to enhance the overall look. Love it!❤

[@MaremiSmallArt]

I could not agree more Chantal ! have a lovely day ❤️ 🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜

[@linmims3049]

I use my craft/X-acto knife to fussy cut around the stems etc., it works really well. I am loving the Botanica book and plan to get the others as my budget allows.

[@gwynnedjackson3871]

Hi Marta! An exacto knife would be much better to cut out those tight spaces. 😊❤

[@maryrobbie]

[@MaremiSmallArt]

awwww thank you so much for your sweet words !!!

[@AlisonB-fk1fl]

Beautiful project Marta 😊 I was wondering, with the shiny stickers, could you go over them with clear gesso to take away the shine?

[@joandernehl1517]

Good morning I am Jo from Australia I absolutely love watching your work I have purchased two of your books and will be getting the others. I’m still looking for a journal I like the square look any suggestions

[@traceydietrich7376]

I have all of your books and am wanting to make a page in my journal. What kind of pens do you use? I like that they move with the water😉

[@koenstracy]

Loving your books, have purchased three so far. Love this journal page and the shading. Could you tell me which derwent intense pencils colors you recommend? I am going to purchase them individually can’t really afford the full sets. Thanks🤗💙😊

[@MaremiSmallArt]

so glad you love the books :) 🟣 My Favourite PENCILS to shadow and outline --- Inktense BARK 2000: USA: amzn.to/3KuuwPQ UK: amzn.to/3qiNLEU --- Inktense CHINESE INK 2030: UK: amzn.to/48mM4q2

[@koenstracy]

Thanks.

[@ChapmanGriffith]

Beautiful collage. At present I own 2 of your books. I’m interested in the black pen you used for outlining. Who makes them?

[@MaremiSmallArt]

🔹Pilot Pen: Pilot G-TEC-C4 for doodles USA: amzn.to/3FWpeub UK: amzn.to/3lpl6M6 Europe: amzn.to/3MitTJS thank you 💙🩵💜 ps. have you seen the newest video yet ? part of of Tulip Page: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaSvnXl9eptpm7c Have a great day !

[@christinareichert2865]

In Germany I ordered matt white label tape.

[@jeanettereynolds3151]

My little cutting machine does same marta 🇬🇧

[@MaremiSmallArt]

thank you !!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@julievan2847]

I have fout of your new books do you have more?

[@MaremiSmallArt]

There is 3 new books published (Forest Animalia vol 1 & 2, Fungos) 📖 USA: amzn.to/4ba4L2b 📖 UK: amzn.to/3JhMFiG 📖 Germany: amzn.to/3TX4HM1 thank you ! have a lovely day ❤️ 🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜 Marta xx

[@juliecurtis9517]

QUESTION: I don't have clear gesso. Will matte medium work?

[@dianekohl9179]

Canthe books be used for collage bits on the cards I sell???

[@MaremiSmallArt]

yes, of course :) I would be honoured

[@jeanettereynolds3151]

I bought clear gesso to glue down the bits on page and I bought white gessop.but now I hear you say your using gel medium to stick down.im so confused marta.is that why my bits paper is not sticking and pages are giong horrible.im dyslectic so should I have used water colour book to stick bits in I cut from fairy book??

[@MaremiSmallArt]

let me help you here, it can really be confusing clear gesso is a primer, which is a top coat on the papers. some of the brands have them made the way that they would stick down delicate paper like rice paper or tissue paper. gel medium is a glue, similar to glue stick or mod podge, this is a medium that sticks everything even a very thick paper. hope this helps

[@elizekohler6199]

Suggestion: maybe publish more than 1 page of each design next time. That way if you destroy a page by cutting something, you have 2 or 3 of the exact same page left, but you'll be able to use another part of it, that you didn't cut.

[@MaremiSmallArt]

that is a great idea... however, before publishing the books, I was wondering is it better to have 10 designs x2 pages (so each would be doubled) or have 20 designs not doubled. I decided to have bigger choice and more designs that repeat pages... I could make them double as they are now but the books would be way too expensive. It' not an easy choice :) thank you for suggestion, I will keep this in mind in making future books thank you ! have a lovely day ❤️ 🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜 Marta xx

[@MandysGeekBowtique]

Or you could just buy more than 1 book.... that way the price per book can be kept reasonable for everyone
