[@lisaenglert3202]

Lol I thought everyone did!

[@debbralehrman5957]

Watching you and Bentleys house videos I will never look at the Thrift store the same way again. I love your Balloon. The hinged door was a great addition.

[@DorisS75]

So awesome! I love it so much!

[@jojosbargainhuntandcrafts7314]

Aww wow Chantal, am totally in love with your balloon, love how we both took the idea and went down completely different paths with the materials. It looks stunning in its box, and when the lights are on its magical. I love how we both had the idea to be able to see inside, great minds think alike. It's such a joy to watch you create. Thank you for all your hard work :) x

[@RavensMinis]

Thank you for the collaboration Jo! It was much fun and a joy to meet you 😊

[@jacquelineburgess3240]

Hello Jo sent me, great collaboration loved your design and so talented. x

[@RavensMinis]

Thanks and welcome

[@agneschrismer9946]

Beautiful, I love steampunk and hot air balloons. I made a couple but with different materials, never thought of putting it in a shadowbox

[@maggiehughes4283]

Absolutely fabulous.Well done you.

[@LuccaAce]

"nothing fancy," she says, as she adds incredibly detailed-looking clay wired to the inside of the glass As always, the attention to detail is stunning. This makes me want to get back to my steampunk-esque aviator doll...

[@hazeljanehopkins5652]

Well, it was worth waiting for Chantal, it’s a glorious creation!

[@RavensMinis]

Thanks so much, Hazel. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@CrixJoki]

OMG that is STUNNING! :D 💜 amazing job!

I love it so much. Your steampunk creations are really great (: The chains and beads finished it beautifully, and the fabric was a great idea. Thanks for sharing ! I'm off to Jo's channel now.

[@alex_a_]

And it was quite nice to see you btw (-;

[@RavensMinis]

Thank you so much!

[@kymmypickle8058]

Coming over from Jo's channel. Love all the art you produce xx

[@RavensMinis]

Thank you so much!!

[@TheArtsyPineapple]

Wow, this is incredible! I love the door on the front, and all the tiny details make it so interesting to examine! Really great job 👍

[@RavensMinis]

Thank you very much!

[@picklesnoutpenobscott3165]

It is very steampunk! I think.. I might have done a translucent balloon, and had a small flickerflame LED for the hot flame, which would light it up. You are inspiring me to create! Thank you. I am new to the diorama world. Very nicely done.

[@RavensMinis]

Sounds great!

[@rekhakandhai]

Everytime I hear your accent I get this feeling you're dutch.

[@RavensMinis]

haha yes! Well I'm Australian citizen now, but born in Holland

[@rekhakandhai]

Ik wist het!

[@vivianbrooks1939]

So wonderful 🤩 I hope you will be able to offer your work for sale soon. I am still in love with the steampunk kitty😻 You are that good!

[@RavensMinis]

Thank you! 😊

[@sheep1ewe]

Awesome!! I realy love the one jojos made as well, it also gave me the idea of a sort of radar dome shaped laboratory building.

[@GrumpyWo1f]

Beautiful job

[@pixiestyx]

Oh man, this turned out so cool! I love when you use lighting - it really adds an extra-special touch that makes the piece come alive! The chains are awesome too!

[@RavensMinis]

you'll love this week's one then!

[@rexanne1000]

Love it looks spectacular!

[@Subzero271978]

Chantal I really enjoy your channel, new subscriber, you are a very talented artist. I’ve been looking back and watching all of your projects. I wish I could do some of the things that you can...lol... Take care and much love from Georgia (US)--Steve

[@RavensMinis]

Thanks for subbing!

[@angelikagiam]

Sooooo beautiful!!!

[@ItsLizV]

Ahh this is awesome! The chains you added at the end really completed the whole thing.

[@RavensMinis]

Thank you, Liz. Anything steampunk needs chains right?!

[@michaelasteampunk519]

I loved this! It has such a quirky design with so many intricate details like the tiny cogs and delicate chain. I adore the sneaky little hatch giving a peak as to its inner workings. I only just discovered you but I've been binge watching your videos whenever I get the chance. Keep up the great work!

[@RavensMinis]

Thank you and welcome to the channel!

[@thecalicoheart7946]

Michaela Steampunk - Me too!! TFS Chantal. XX 💖🙏☺️

So shiny looking 😃

[@joyceparkes2678]

Just amazing! Thanks so much 🙏🏽

[@KatyRylesArt]

I love this! It's dreemy Steam punk 😍 I'm glad the hinge piece fitted. I can imagine that it was fiddly! As always I'm in awe of your 3d skills. Thank you for sharing! I've just watched Jo's part of the collab too! They're both awesome 😍

[@RavensMinis]

Thank you! 😊

[@jillianmcclennan576]

Wow, thanks for sharing this beautiful artwork! Hard to pick a favourite of your work, but I really love this one

[@RavensMinis]

Just wanted to let you know that I've received your parcel (THANK YOU) and I'll be posting the unboxing on my 2nd channel very soon! kzbin.info/door/vE4sONIx3K9ahwlvSxUG-Q

[@jillianmcclennan576]

​@@RavensMinis Oh thanks! There's nothing fancy in there though, my hands were damaged this year so I couldn't make you much. Mostly just bits of fabric and trim materials :) So unless it's combined with other people's boxes, I wouldn't want a big spotlight on it.

[@RavensMinis]

No problem. I'll save the video until more comes in. If not then I'll mention you in the common room video, which will be after April. thank you for your generosity

[@christinastalder1268]

This was so cool. It gave me a great idea. I did a Turtle shadow box. Useing some of your ideas. So thank u so much for sharing your talent with us all. Stay safe.

[@RavensMinis]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kittybobblehead]

Gorgeous!!! 😍😍

[@saggioculo5386]

Love this.

[@dalma_makes]

This is so awesome! I love everything you make. Just discovered you a few weeks ago and I have been binge-watching your content. Now I need to go make something steampunk too!

[@RavensMinis]

Thanks so much!

[@SandyGaskettArt]

just incredible yet again! You are just so clever, and freaking patient... well done Chantal !! (how do you work out any of what you do will work, just trial and error?)

[@RavensMinis]

Thanks so much, Sandy! I just go for it and see how/if it works out. It usually does!

[@kimgee143]

I really love it!!!!

Very cool!

[@lindapitman6044]

wow that's all i can say wow

[@lindalamb6643]

Holy crap that is amazing!!!

[@RavensMinis]

thank you!

[@dedeturner9643]

Beautiful job!! You are so talented! I have a question about clay and since you're the best I know I'll ask you. I am a total newbie with clay and want to try polymer clay since air dry just cracks. What would be the best clay to use to make miniatures. People mostly...1/4th and 144th scale. I make 144th people now with wire but want to 'flesh' out the figure. Thank you so much and keep up the fantastic work!

[@RavensMinis]

oh wow 144th scale is TEEEENY TINY! I've heard that Sculpey Premo is a bit stronger, here is a link for you to check it out amzn.to/3b6vQFB

[@debsy101games]

What brand of black acrylic paint do you use? I use Windsor & Newton in Lamp Black

[@RavensMinis]

just black acrylic craft paint :)

[@JensKreative]

Amazing!!!

[@lisaenglert3202]

So cool! Your ideas and creativity are astounding. What is the glue you are using in the clear bottle? I use aleenes but I need something faster setting.

[@RavensMinis]

it's fabritac glue :)

[@lorenniwa1984]

This is soooooo cool ❤

[@RavensMinis]

thanks so much!

[@CMRCustom]

That’s really cool but I think I missed how it is a colab

[@RavensMinis]

How come?

[@CMRCustom]

Darkest Raven Designs well, to me, a colab means you do a part of the project and the other person does another part and you both make a different video for your own pages.

[@RavensMinis]

@@CMRCustom that's fair, although having the same prompt and having to use beads and fabric as the challenge can also be called a collaboration, it's just a bit different. Perhaps it is more like a craft off I suppose

[@CMRCustom]

Darkest Raven Designs oh ok! That it’s a challenge is the part I didn’t catch.

[@RavensMinis]

@@CMRCustom all good! Thanks for watching!

Haha yes!

[@frenchfry4310]

Hey, I know I'm jumping the gun but would it be possible to make some Tim Burton's Alice in wonderland, you are amazing and I would love to see your creations, after Harry Potter of course lol.

[@RavensMinis]

Thank you for your suggestion! What scene from the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland are you interested in/is your favorite? It's one of my favorite movies and planning on doing something with that in the near future.

[@frenchfry4310]

@@RavensMinis God, it's so hard to choose, I love every part of it. I think anything Cheshire cat, or mad hatter maybe even the red queen or the tea party lmao you pick the movie is amazing and I think anything you create will do it justice.

[@dalma_makes]

I sent you a collaboration enquiry e-mail. I also make crafty things on my channel!
