Agree with Lori...love how you don't talk...you list your products and add them to your screen as you work. This piece is stunning! Thank you so much for sharing! I subscribed and liked! You are amazing!

[@lorinommensen816]

Absolutely beautiful! I love that you put the product names on the screen, and I don't care that you don't talk in your videos as one poster asked. :-) I also appreciate the fact that you list all products used in your description. I have watched many videos where they talk and/or show the product so quickly that one cannot figure out what they're saying or showing. It appalls me that people are so rude as to post a negative comment on such a beautiful piece of work, rather than thanking you for sharing your creativity and expertise with us. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@newsletters1982]

I so agree with you Lori. I love having the product name shown during the video and a list of supplies in the description. Some talk so much that one loses the beauty of the work being done. Gabrielle does a perfect job and her art is breathtaking!

[@GabriellePollacco]

Lori Nommensen Thanks so much for your kind words, I only just now saw this. xo

[@GabriellePollacco]

Sunnys Musings thanks so much, what a sweet thing to say, appreciate your kind feedback! xo

[@lorinakwatra]

beautiful as always

[@susanfaulkner8068]

I agree with you all. This is beautiful & I love how this video has the listing of products used. Thank you for sharing your lovely work, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@maryguerra9933]

Beautiful. No talking, my kind of video. Direct and to the point

[@marionsymonds3546]

Hi Gabrielle, I have only this morning discovered your phenominal Channel and am lost in wonderment and admiration. Your art is amazing and your tutorials the same. You teach exactly what I have been wanting to learn for a very long time. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful creations and, most especially, for showing us how they were made. Your videos will give me countless hours of enjoyment and I am most grateful and thankful to you for each second. Marion in the UK

[@dawntemplen8369]

I could sit and watch you creating your art, I think 24-7. They are sooo beautiful. I tried my hand on the one you did with the window. Not as pretty as yours but I was well pleased. Please continue to share, as you inspire me!

[@nandelarosa]

Oh my goodness.... you never cease to amaze with your incredible talent. I have watched your videos over and over again. God has truly blessed you with a gift. I am so incredibly blessed to have found you. Please continue to bring us more videos that inspire so many of us. We love you Gabrielle :-)

[@tattoolane1]

I watch your videos over and over and over again - I never fail to enjoy how you craft your beautiful pieces and am trying desperately to put something similar together in my own work. I love your use of colour, your way of showing what you're using, and if you make a mistake and something doesn't work too well , you are not too big to admit it and show us a way out. Thank you so much Gabrielle - sending much love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[@pfengwa44]

Absolutely gorgeous! You bring such balance and harmony to your canvas. I love the shimmery paints and sprays. I love to watch your videos at night as I am winding down for sleep. The images are lovely and the music is relaxing. Thanks for sharing your gifts with us.

[@SewLambitious]

What an amazing little piece!! The more I watch these mixed media projects, the more I appreciate and love them! This turned out beautiful. I need to start finding these beautiful CHIPBOARD CUTOUTS! You did a great job putting information on the screen so that we can see what is used during the timeline! Thank you!

[@swilson1936]

It made my day to see that you posted a new video! Please don't ever stop. LOVE YOUR ART!

[@saintsdancenrome]

The process is wonderful. At first I thought wow, then I just said that is super Wow! I mean the layers are awesome and I can't wait to try some shimmerz paints. I want to try this process and thank you so much for your tutorials and inspiration Gabrielle they make us so happy. May God bless your talent even more.

[@carried9130]

Hi Gabrielle, I'm new to exploring mixed media art...and wondering where I have been all this time! In viewing different videos I came across your channel a couple of days ago and have been watching your tutorials. I think your work is amazing! You have such an eye for combining colors and different objects to create such rich textures and looks. Your process is amazing to watch. I admire that you aren't afraid to cover things up...I'm new to oil painting and I struggle with that. I like how you do some of your videos with music and visual instruction and some with narration. Both ways are good, and I love the song you used here. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and methods, this is something I definitely want to do for my own happiness as well as for gifts. I've especially been searching for some ideas for gifts for some of my loved ones who are IMPOSSIBLE to shop for, and your work has given me some excellent ideas and inspiration. Thank you again and I look forward to your next projects!

[@janicemoio5768]

I have not ventured into making a canvas with chipboard pieces yet as I wasn't quite sure how to put it all together without looking gaudy. This is absolutely gorgeous with the metallics and I didn't know to gesso the pieces too. Makes sense as the colors of the paint come shining through. I have a ton of chipboard and designs to figure out how to lay it out and enjoy the process of designing one of a kind wall hanging. Thank you for the inspiration! :)

[@Dotalina33]

Gees, you make these art works stunningly beautiful. I was going to say easy but not true. I am inspired that's for sure! Experts always make what they do seem achievable. It's when the novice tries it the rude awakening comes!.

[@padminimanjusha1955]

Hi gabrielle I just loved your work and your creative hands when ever I had free time I'm watching only your videos from past 2 days . I fell in love with mixed media. Will surely try on my hands . thanks for inspiring me

[@jackiecleveland]

Gabrielle, I love the color scheme and your design is so pleasing to watch come to live! Thanks for posting and sharing your talent with us all.

[@JB-nf7yr]

Wow! Thank you for showing us how to create this type of mixed media. Your work touched me so much, that I had tears coming out of my eyes. I am looking forward in trying this type of medium.

[@daiseymae6263]

Wow, that’s a lot of work.....and so beautiful, amazing, great aging and sparkle, the best piece I’ve seen so far....

[@teresanguessan5408]

I wanted to say thank you. Your work is so inspiring. I’d been very nervous about moving from card to canvas and into more 3 dimensional creations but after watching your videos I was inspired to start. I love the way you combine different media and make use of different mass produced items (inks, stencils etc) to create truly unique works of art. What you create is so beautiful and well crafted. I wish I had your talent. Thank you for sharing it.

[@jfryrn]

Really beautiful. You have a gift for laying out your designs so they flow and a knack for selecting great color schemes. I love it. Thank You for sharing your beautiful art work.

[@atractiasuccesului9260]

Such a complex and beautiful work! ❤

[@aleksandrajabczynska9603]

Hello, Mrs Gabrielle. It was the pleasure to watch this video. Your art is really amazing! In Poland it's hard to find there such a lovely pieces of... ingredients. I hope it will be real someday, so now I can just looking at arts of others, thinking about my future... I want to make something like this for my dad's birthday, because he really love my creativity and I love when he is happy. I want to check out other your video. I though it can be helpful, 'cause this one was. So thank you for your tutorial. I had great fun about watching. Good night! :)

[@maryguerra9933]

Watching you does give a certain calmness, while at the same time giving excitement for the final outcome. Thank you.

[@acrosby74]

This is a really good use of space, positive and negative with lots of overlapping. Well done. I'm going to show this to my classes.

[@shelleyc5930]

You do such beautiful work! The gems add such sparkle to the butterfly body, and the detail in your projects is just amazing. True works of art. TFS

[@Margaritabelle]

Words fail me!!, this is just a fabulous project, the colours......well just beautiful. Thank you

[@reneshay889]

Absolutely STUNNING! Beyond words!

[@terrytulipane6916]

You do beautiful work. It is inspirational with new ideas. I was disappointed that I did not find all the colors you used on this project on the Shimmerz paint website but I see this is a 2 1/2 year old demonstration. Thank you for sharing with us.

You are truly amazing and so creative, you bring your creations to life!!!!!!!! So so beautiful and lovely thank you so much

[@emilyinwonderland4147]

I'm not really sure how I came across your AMAZING video this evening,,,I had been watching videos about tracing things to canvas. I'm a relatively 'new' artist & now that I've been painting, I get requests from family & friends all the time. "Paint me this, paint me that". I want to paint what I want to paint now, so everyone go away for a bit. :) Then I happened on your video. This is SO different & beautiful! I love all the colors!!! I'm going to keep painting for now, but I've subscribed, so "I'LL BE BAAACK!",,to try this. :)

[@angela.thepapersentimentshop]

their are no words to describe how absolutely gorgeous this is. you are so inspiring. this just makes me want to go out on a limb and set myself free to try new things. the music is so perfect for such beautiful art. i seriously think this is one of the most inspiring and gorgeous pieces i've ever seen. thank you!

[@GabriellePollacco]

Angela, it means so much to me to hear comments like this, it makes me feel the time and effort I put into my tutorials is worth it. Thank you! xo

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS, love all your tutorials and videos. Thank you for sharing your beautiful talent and helping us learn *HUGGSSS*

[@paularoehl-johnson9991]

Coolness, your canvas turned out nice! Know the feeling when you create something, then look at the picture or video and the color isn't what you see in real life............Most of us already know your style and know the color is much richer in person, LOL! Can't wait to see your next video.

[@GabriellePollacco]

Lol...yes, I have 4 bright lights shining down on my project when I work, so sometimes the colors don't look as rich as when I take a photo of the project in natural light, that's why the still shots at the end sometimes look a little different. :)

[@dawntemplen8369]

You do amazing work, so wanting to try this. I could sit and watch your videos all day!

[@waltrauddrescher4182]

Love, love, love your work! It's really fun watching you while you build up your project! Thank's for sharing!

Gabrielle, your work is amazing beyond words. You are such an inspiration with your creativity. I love the color combinations you use and especially your mixed media pieces. When I'm finished with a project I'm covered in gesso, paints and ink. I have no idea how you do it while wearing long sleeves in some of your videos without them being splattered. Lol 😊

[@cassandra211984]

This is gorgeous. Been trying to learn some new background techniques. I forget how much work goes into a beautiful background like this one. I'm so impatient with drying times and waiting, but seeing something like this definitely makes me want to slow down and take the time to do it right!

[@MidgeACE]

I love your work and a big fan .. peace be with you too.

[@minecositas5589]

Hola Gabrielle!! He estado viendo algunos de tus videos, y, no me canso de mirar lo bello y hermoso de tu trabajo, hace mucho que no publicas algo nuevo, y ya me urge ver que mas has hecho! te mando un saludo desde México!

[@xnina9]

This is so incredibly beautiful! I've been watching your videos lately and I am so in awe of your work! You have inspired me to dig deep and bring out the hidden artist in me! And I am now always humming the lovely background music!

[@dwyllisharrison6489]

Oh my gosh! I love this! I am a huge fan of your work, Gabrielle & feel quite excited whenever I see a video with your name on it come into my list. I love watching your videos & the music always relaxes me lol. It is so enjoyable watching you put all the different elements together, to create something beautiful & very appealing. The way you have made the body of the butterfly stand out is wonderful! I have just bought several canvases & although I mainly work in fabric & lace, I am really looking forward to staring some mixed media projects. Thanks for inspiring us all.

[@GabriellePollacco]

Thanks so much Dwyllis! I love to use fabric elements into my projects (I will try to do something with more lace and fabric in an upcoming project) ...glad to hear you feel inspired to give this a go! xo

[@meleika8274]

oh my god..... you are GOLDEN! This is absolutely beautiful!

[@adrinem4513]

This is so beautiful! I just found you & your channel thru Pinterest. I coincidentally bought two 8 x 10 canvas' today because they were on sale. I had no real vision of what I was going to do with them. After watching this I am totally inspired! Little by little I will order some Shimmerz products as they are exactly what I've been looking for. I'm so excited! Thank you for sharing your amazing talent!

[@11mjwhite]

Absolutely Beautiful!!!! What talent!
