Creating a Reflection with Lavinia Stamps

[@debmcgowan9852]

This is 8.1.24. You've been here for a while now. I AM one of those visual learners!! And I DO enjoy your "chattiness." And the coffee and the tea etc. It's more than JUST an art lesson. You are MUCH appreciated. I'm 71 and still work full time in my accounting firm, but I try not to miss spending time with you. Thank you!!❤

[@donnaashbrook8169]

Jo , you never waffle, you make me feel like you are chatting to me, in fact, I have actually answered you out loud more than once!! I’m down in Devon but originally I’m from Lancashire, so you almost take me home!! As a retired art teacher, I can follow your instructions so easily, because you inspire confidence whilst explaining in fine detail, especially the reflections which have been a huge problem for me. I’ve tried ‘drawing’ them in but not very successfully! Your three methods are amazing!! A huge, grateful Thank You!! Donna.

[@louiseohanlon795]

Hi Jo don’t apologise to those giving you a thumbs down. You’ll always get those few people who never like anything. The far majority of us are truly grateful for all you do. We think your tutorials are truly inspiring. So thank you from all of us. Xx

[@JoRice]

Louise, thanks so much for your lovely message...xx

[@rebeccahenson5328]

Nobody gets bored watching you color. The things you do…great or small are the reasons we love watching you crest these scenes. I’ve never seen you do one I didn’t like. They are all so clever and informative. We thank you. You are sooooo relaxing to watch.

[@tracyholmes8122]

You definitely don't "yabber" I love listening to you describing your work and explanation. Just carry on exactly as you are. Brilliant Jo, I love your work, thank you.

[@libellula3313]

You are a born teacher then, if you have no background in teaching. I love your videos, and I usually watch several at one sitting and having a “cup of tea and a cheeky biscuit” has caught on in France. Thank you for being caring and for all your tutorials. X Jo from France 18/2/23

[@JoRice]

Thanks so much 😊

[@rebeccavalverde16]

Hi Jo, thank you for giving a great explanation and three different ways to create a mirror reflection. You are very thorough and you have inspired me to try these methods. I have been enjoying watching your videos, I learn something new each time. You are a very good instructor. Peace with hugs.

[@lindaedwards1111]

Oh my goodness, you're a genius! Using the brayer for the horizon and the ripples in the water will be a game-changer for me! Thank you so very much! ❤

[@calshrive907]

Thank you so much for your wonderful tutorial Jo, I love how you explain things in so much detail that we can all understand where your coming from or what you mean etc. Love watching your video’s and I’ve learnt so much from you, take care, and keep smiling, don’t let the person who is giving you a dislike thumbs down a second of your time, they are doing you a favour by hitting the thumbs down as it signals to KZbin that the person has watched your video, so really every time they press on the thumbs down your video will become more popular in the statistics. xx

[@Sketchbook999]

Thankyou a BILLION times. So uplifting. I love dream live breathe MUSHROOMS. PEACE Girl love your hands xxxxxxxxx

[@hopecassady1764]

I wouldn't worry about the person who keeps leaving you a thumbs down. Some people are just negative & can't be pleased! I love all that I've watched on your channel & you've taught me so much, thank you Jo!🙏🏽💟🪻🧚🏻‍♀️🍄🌿

[@traceymercer7563]

Hi Jo I think your an amazing artist but more than that you are a truly loving caring human being. Just keep being you. You are truly inspiring.

[@nancyboyd1673]

Lovely card! Thanks so much for sharing the different reflection techniques. I love the way you explain everything in your videos. They have helped me immensely! ♥️

[@kathleencarter9739]

My first time watching your videos! I have watched about 10 so far & love them! I do just regular cards, but I like the different ones you make. I live in USA, like you said “It’s nice to see how we communicate with each other, the words we use are different” I think so too! I love your “inky binky”! Instead of saying “rag”. You’re very creative! I will be watching and “likening” a lot more! Thank you!😊

[@nadinaarink9378]

I love watching this! Thank you for patiently showing how this works. Really enjoyed listening to you talking the whole time.

[@mareeflavall5478]

I love watching your videos Jo, from across the world in New Zealand. You have got me loving Lavinia stamps, and all the creative things you can do. Love listening to you being so friendly and positive.... and also making it simple.. with beautiful results. Keep them coming, and ignore those who give you a thumbs down, they have a choice to watch or not.

[@JoRice]

Thanks so much for your lovely comments , they really mean so much , hugs xx

[@gezzieb8992]

I’ve recently discovered your channel and am loving it. Don’t understand the thumbs down as you are so clear and calm with your tutorials and encouraging. I love your chat too as it feels like I’m sat beside you while you are working. Thank you Jo

[@davinahardy7195]

Hi Jo. You just keep chatting my lovely, I find your voice so relaxing and I’m in awe of your cards. I hope I can make something like this one day. Your videos are so informative, I learn a lot from you and anybody who is not happy watching you can turn off, do one, and anything else they want, 😂 I’m grateful you’re there.

[@jeannewagner8133]

Jo I love ALL your tutorials and this one is brilliant!!! Your explanations are really good and descriptive. Do not let the occasional TROLL get to you. They just exist and we can't do anything about them but ignore. The rest of us love ya to pieces. :) Thank you.

[@lynnwarboys9251]

Hi Jo I just wanted to let you know that you have given me my mojo back, I love your tutorials and your voice is so kind and encouraging so THANK YOU Love Lynn xx

[@melissafancelli-cox9313]

I am new to stamps. I acquired a bin of stamps from a family friend. but she made cards and moat are sentiments and holidays. I need animals and trees. I have many flowers and butterflies. This really makes me want to experiment more. I was mostly using in my journal and with watwr colors. I love this process it is a piece of art. I need a mushroom set too and the silioute of the rabbit is neat. tfs

[@cindihoskins5728]

This is so beautiful!! Jo, you are so very gifted not only in your art but in your ability to teach!!! I love learning from you!!! ❤️❤️

[@mitzi66]

That's lovely thanks Jo, I'll definitely have a go. All the wonderful KZbinrs I watch get thumbs down, and some even get nasty comments, I don't know why anyone would do that when someone has made so much effort to share with complete strangers, but they do. I love your videos, I feel like you're a good friend and it doesn't feel quite so lonely. Love all the personal touches, and I learn so much. Keep doing what you're doing ❤️❤️❤️

[@naddsn6374]

your videos are opening the door to the wonderful world of stamping for me - as a beginner, I truly love what you do for us crafters out there - no way to learn it any other way - at least right now - so thankful and your work is absolutely inspiring! All the best wishes from Germany to the UK 💫

[@karencomeau8594]

Thank you Jo , for your video's they are such a help. I love to listen to your voice it is so calming to me, when I'am crafting. I do have my coffee with you in the morning :) Thanks again friend.

[@sheilagray2051]

Hi, I've only just found you and loved this so much , I've subscribed and given you a well deserved thumbs up. I love your easy, calm manner and gentle teaching. It does feel like you are here with me in the room which is great in these times of lockdown when we are all so cut off. I feel your card is a work of art, inspiring and encouraging. I will be sure to try this and have you with me as we work along together. :0) x

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Jo, and firstly there is nothing wrong with this tutorial. You’ve shown me so much that I didn’t know, and lots of tips and tricks too. Whoever that is, just ignore them, you have 212 great 👍 comments, and just one ☝️ moron, who probably leaves these thumbs down 👎 for everyone they watch. Why bother????? I really don’t know. I’ve just seen your channel, and I’ve subscribed and given you a thumbs up 👍 too. And I really really don’t do that lightly. Your excellent and very easy to listen to. I’m really really looking forward to seeing you again soon. Stay safe and well too xxx Mags

I have only just found you beautiful Jo & the wonderful Lavina stamps, waiting on my first little order to play with while watching your videos. I really enjoy your style and gentle voice & easy to understand how to instructions.. it is just like having a friend in the home to help Thank You very much. Much Love from West Australia..where there are sadly no craft shops..xx Best Wishes Jenny.R

I am so pleased that you have joined our little crafty family on here and that you enjoy my videos…that means so much All the best xx🧡

[@teresawalsh7700]

Thank you so much Jo, I've always shied away from trying reflections because I thought I'd never be able to do it. You make it so clear and have given me the confidence and incentive to want to try. I love your videos, your voice is very relaxing and so easy to listen to. Many thanks for brightening a grey day here in Wiltshire.

[@susanstimson871]

I just found you yesterday. I love watching your videos and I learn so much. Please don't be disheartened by the thumb down. You won't/can't please everyone. I cannot tell you how pleased I am though. Thank you for sharing with us!

[@glittergrandma]

No I forgot to say the thumb down comment , who knows. I feel your instructions are clear, kind,supportive and comprehensive. Try to shake it off. You are doing awesome videos.

[@sallymoretti1066]

Wonderful and inspiring! Thank you with love!

[@christineandersen1220]

Technology is swell, isn’t it? Here we are in a pandemic with lockdowns and quarantines and separated by thousands of miles and continents and yet we can still carry on conversations and learn new techniques. I agree with the other commentor who said like it’s sitting down to have a cuppa coffee with a friend. I don’t drink coffee but I feel that I know you and that you are sitting right next to me in my messy craft room! Thank you for the techniques on the brayers and how to do reflections. I saw someone else give a demo on reflections using the Breyer and it was kind of scary! The alternatives that you suggested I am sure I will use. Such a beautiful card and so impressive. Thanks again for your time and effort and skill in teaching us these techniques and also for your happy disposition. I too am started late in life with my crafts. Stay well and stay safe, Christine Andersen from Salem Utah, USA!

[@bunnytoes7200]

Hi sweet heart. Jo you have been such an inspiration to me and darlin’ I do have an education in design. You see, talent isn’t reliant on education but experience and a God given willingness to learn plus tenacity. Your work is incredible! I just can’t get enough. FYI I honestly learn something new with almost every video. Do not ever question your ability as an artist or a teacher. Your language skills are prime and your presentations are so informative and complete it’s astounding. And to top it off your voice is soothing! Keep going, we love you Jo! The first time I watched a video, not long ago, I laughed and laughed because your diction reminded me of Dame what’s her hoosle, now I can’t remember her name but I’m sure you do. I think she modelled her character after you. Oh my! Impeccable..

[@yorkie755]

That’s a beautiful creation Jo I will defo be giving this a go. Thank you

Wow, thank you so much for sharing this, I’m stunned by your work, just beautiful. I must add that I love your teaching skills, you make everything so realistic and natural leaving in any little accident because, to be honest, I always make mistakes, sometimes they end up happy ones, but I feel it’s how we learn. I’ve been watching all your videos, and today is Mother’s Day, so happy Mother’s Day to you, and my daughter is just bringing my coffee now, so cheers and enjoy Jo. Hugs from your neighbour across the pond in Ireland. XX

Thank you so much Jo, for showing the 3 ways to do a reflection, I’ve only tried the brayer in the past, but will give the Gelli press a try x

[@JoRice]

Thanks Denise, I hope you enjoy having a go, I must admit the acetate is my favourite...xx❤️

[@jeanmm2996]

Oh that's awesome! I've had a really slippery acetate smudging my reflection. Your piece is larger, and maybe A little more controllable. Plus mine is sitting on my white board. Paper will be better. The details are so pretty! It's a beautiful card. You make great use of that brayer!

Thanks so much for watching and practice really helps with the acetate x🧡

Lovely tutorial! I don't usually use reflections but may have to give it a try now that I've seen the acetate and gel plate methods. I can't imagine why anyone would give you a thumbs down - you're sharing what you've learned and give us tips to use to be more successful. I so enjoy listening to you. I watch a LOT of British television through different streaming services and I've been trying to think of who's voice/accent yours reminds me of. Some night I'm sure I'll spot it while watching one of my shows. Thanks so much for this tutorial!

Thank you Jo for this tutorial and all your others. I would never have thought about how you did the reflection. The acetate is the way to go for me. Now I need the courage to try.

I just want to thank you so very much for all your videos. I so enjoy watching them all. I made some cards last night and this morning that I got the inspiration from you. I will need to get more stencils from Lavinia stamps. I have Flora which I love, but I want to do different ones. Again thank you, Gail Barrett, USA

I love your tutorials Jo as they are so helpful and a delight to watch. I have just created one similar to your beautiful card but on a smaller scale. I was struggling with reflections and after watching your video, I used your idea with the acetate.... and it worked. So a BIG thank you. Ignore the thumbs down, some people have nothing better to do with their lives and find pleasure in being nasty and upsetting others. We love your videos so please keep them coming xxx
