How to be Loose! Salvaged Birds 🦉/

[@luiseheinzl]

This was so much fun to watch! I am sitting here with my first coffee of the day and I am enjoying every second of your video! Oh, I love Dephemerember!

[@49dragonflies]

Yay! Thank you little JJ sista! ❤️

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Oh my goodness gracious! Thanks so much for sharing my channel! Love&hugs ❤😘😘

[@shabbyroadstudio]

Wow. Lucky you!! I’ve recently found your channel too ❤️

[@Charlathejournalingjunky]

Wow Darcy Congratulations girl, you are amazing and deserve the mention and recognition, I couldn’t have done the group without your support and help, ❤u girl x

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

@@Charlathejournalingjunky 🥰🥰🥰

[@prof.mommyarty]

Great technique and I'll be checking out your channel later 😁

[@elizabethkeeling-carreau1873]

I love all of the layers and details that you included. The gel prints added so much to your salvaged birds. Adding the tags and pockets completes it perfectly. 🤗🇨🇦🤗

[@Rhonda.D.Wright]

I just love how everything is turning out. And I do love the longer videos, we get to spend more time with you. ❤

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaaw ❤️

[@jensartyinclinations]

I’ll have to check Darcy out. I love the techniques you used - especially simply rolling over some gesso at the end - it is all so clever with a beautiful result. Just what I needed to inspire some creative mojo - thank you Barbara ❤❤

[@heathersullivan8494]

Hello Barbara. Wow you really are great on the fly. I really loved all your ideas. See you tomorrow. 😊❤

[@kadieb1020]

I don't mind the longer videos. I would rather learn and enjoy your company ❤

[@pattismith6047]

I think it is so great that you give a shout out to other viewers. That is great and I love Darcy also:)

[@pambotter355]

Barbara, this is so much fun watching you create with Ephie! TFS!❤

[@marikareimer4411]

Hello Barbara! That little Ephy is a rascal! Love how you made this prompt and thank you for a new mixed media artist to watch. Take care and see you soon 🤗

[@tiasjunkpaper]

I love how different it works when you are creating for a binder instead of a bound book. It's a lot of fun to watch your Dephemerember 2023 journal evolve. And once again, I am getting loads of inspiration from you and Luise!

[@tammychernow4129]

Love, Love, Love! See you tomorrow 😃

[@brandibelarts]

Love the textures you got! Very cool. Darcy is always fun to watch ☺️

[@blackcoffeeandwildflowers]

You always do so many separate steps, but I can see where skipping any of them would not have the same result. And the amount of time and work that is put into making each step must be tiring! But wow, does it ever look amazing! This has been a very inspiring video and I will definitely have to rewatch it several times! Hugs 🤗❤️🦜🦉

[@kraftyiam]

Howdy Barbara, I love what you did with Salvaged Birds. All of it absolutely inspirational. I also love the large numbers' cutout and underlay - lovelovelove

[@robinknutson8765]

[@quirkyqueens]

[@Dawn-fz5cu]

Love it!! I really need to get a brayer...I love that effect! 😄 These journaling cards turned out beautifully!💕

[@tutushale]

You never cease to amaze me with your creativity! The salvaged bird tags are amazing! Live Aloha Hugs🤙❤

Love watching your mixed media journey. So many beautiful grungy layers ❤.

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Love the tags! 💙🐦‍⬛💙🐦‍⬛😘😘

[@Charlathejournalingjunky]

Another fab idea and prompt ❤❤ love and hugs x

[@FlippingGrammie]

I love how you customize the background paper.

[@susananderson8428]

Darcy is another favorite for me! Cool birds! I am an observer this year. Loving it so far. 💝💝💝

[@CeriGriffiths]

Barbara thank you for using my numbers foam stamp design.

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you for watching! I love them! 😍

[@stephaniewyeth3920]

I love your interpretation of Salvaged Birds, Barbara. Your journal has a very nice beginning so far.

[@CeriGriffiths]

I’m so pleased you’ve discovered Darcy’s channel I love her creativity.

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

🥰🥰🥰

[@lindacurtis6527]

Salvaged Birds turned out wonderful 😍

[@suzydoodle6348]

Your hands always look so pretty! Love the red nail polish! Now on to the salvaged birds, the bird tags and the pages are awesome! Theses prompts are so fun, thanks for all the inspiration 😊

[@valquitral8342]

Your birdies are wonderful

[@pambotter355]

Barbara, good idea to make the template. Love this page! TFS!❤

[@cjsimplyscraps]

You guys are fantastic. Two completely different interpretations and I would expect nothing less. This prompt came out amazing!

[@karengp8263]

WONDERFUL!!!❤

[@londaedwardsrau3245]

Well...drat...I didn’t think I would ever have a use for a gel plate (even though I've seen it used many times). But now...I really NEED one! 😮

[@martymace9139]

Beautiful page! Love the birds and everything else. ❤️

[@jolajolcia2342]

Love those tags❤ the birds are so much fun created from randomly painted paper. Despite using lots of techniques and colours,everything comes out together beautifully. just perfectly imperfect ❤️

[@rhondamarshall7039]

Wonderful inspiration again, you are such a source of wonderful ideas. Thank you for sharing.

[@RosanneDeutch]

Love your interaction with Ephy!

[@Astras-Stargate]

Barbara, I hope you don't get too dependent on Ephy! I love the birds and the butterflies, really enjoying this year's videos!!

[@annemillion1501]

Love how the birds turned out! Great job

[@lvan4407]

Very interesting how you put it all together with the gel prints I’m having fun watching you❤

[@cheryl7476]

This page turned out nicely and you’ve given me some fun ideas. Thank you, Barbara.

[@ArtsySolutions]

Those birds came out so amazing!! I'm somewhat like Darcy when I craft. I'm a bit chaotic, too.😆 I love all the things you used in the project. Nice!!

[@MaureenAstrid]

Your tags are amazing sweetie ❤ I very much enjoyed watching the whole process 😊

[@ishka28]

Very interesting. Love the made birds.

[@ChristinaCreates4747]

Love this !! Thank you #49dragonflies

[@annaengberg]

Love his! So inspiring. 😊

[@monicalek9598]

Really love the way you prepare all your material!!

[@tonyashatley5040]

These turned out gorgeous! You are off to a fantastic start!

[@evelynhughes951]

Stunning!!!

[@hendapieterse1685]

Beautiful!!! Love them

[@pauletteliddell2923]

Really good ideas. Thank you .🐼🐼💛

[@lindagonzalez6570]

Great Salvaged Birds, 😍 thanks for showing jelly plate demo, I've been wanting to try that out .

[@sherrrysparklynn]

What a great video.

[@kristenmesker8476]

Love how this turned out

[@SBre-ti4lx]

Love your creativity 😊!

[@sandypeppers6861]

I know you don’t like going outside of your comfort zone, but I’m glad you are. Love your birds!

[@tavanetaylor98]

Really enjoyed this. Not too long at all.

[@lillybullen5374]

Well, Barbara - I think I need Ephy's assistance... I am 'blown away' by my wee birdies, but now I don't know what to do!! I didn't have a gelli plate last year, so learning new techniques is super exciting - I'll definitely check out Darcy asap. 😊 But right now it's almost 8.30pm after a long day at work... which makes me realise that the birdies may have to wait until tomorrow for some more inspiration. 🧡💚🤎

[@tanjablume6343]

I actually haven't finished watching yet, I love this idea and I need to get back collaging my own birds😊 My plan is to do my own idea first and then copy yours and Luise's, well most of them😅.🙏💖

[@lucyfanning7496]

I love this so much.

[@margueritemitchell1829]

Hello from Beautiful British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦 ❤🎉😊

[@jensartyinclinations]

Wow!! They look sooooo good

[@claudiasende6408]

That looks beutiful. ❤

[@toniscott1029]

Totally gorgeous 🤩

[@SusanGrumman]

Oh my gosh … yesterday’s butterfly is amazing! And I super love these birds and the many techniques you used to get there! I’m hopeful to go thru both yours and Luise’s videos and hopefully make a few things before it’s time for your 2024 version. And I’m even more hopeful to do 2024 with you guys this time! Thank you!!!

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you! We are already so excited for this year and I’m happy you will be joining us 😃❤️

[@rainbow_rising]

WOW - absolutely gorgeous butterfly. I'm learning by watching - love this challenge, I hope you keep doing this for more years to come. Love everything that you make❤

[@sharonromer6606]

Darcy's really out of this world thought process🤣🇺🇸

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

🥰🥰🥰

[@michele3438]

Barbara, this is so fun and inspiring. I love your creations you’re very talented. I’ve never joined in doing a challenge like this. I still have to print everything off and try it. I’m a nurse and it consumes my life so I don’t get to craft that much. I’ve been crafting my whole life but I haven’t been able to do it hardly at all. I have fallen in love with junk journaling, but I haven’t actually made yet. So I’m gonna get all these supplies. And I can’t wait to make a little Effie. Thank you so much this will be fun.

[@lvgshortie4]

Hi Barbara, Thank you so much for this fantastic challenge! I have been doing the challenge but using Artist Trading Cards to make ephemera pieces for future junk journals. This has been so exciting, and it has been so inspiring watching all the different ideas and takes on the prompts. I am especially looking forward to tomorrow, as 'Selfie in a Bubble' is very unusual indeed! 😀😀

[@49dragonflies]

Wonderful! Love how you at rushing our prompts in ATCs ❤️

[@craftingbytheriver]

Love your grungy birds Barbara! Using the negative of the number die .......love that too. ❤

[@nancivessells1909]

That waso so cute & fun. I've been working out this grungy deal but haven't made it yet!! I love it but fight the neatness like you. TFS

[@lindabarnes6605]

Love these

[@robinsutton4952]

Another interesting and inspiring idea. I’ll head over Darcy’s channel. My life now is so chaotic, it’ll fit right in. Speaking of not finding your stamps, I just found three file containers full of stamps. Maybe Ephy sent vibes my way!

[@49dragonflies]

😃❤️

[@dbabybear]

For some reason, now i think of ephy not just as a D23 mascot, but as every crafters magical artistic idea bringer. All of us has an ephy (or a version of) within us.

[@49dragonflies]

Yes! That’s right! 😃❤️

[@judiemjacobson4613]

Nice job barbara.

[@lotusflowerpassion]

beautiful

[@sherryvanderpool8644]

Great backgrounds for the birds ❤

[@allisonjames2923]

Love love love these tags! All the steps made them so interesting. I must admit I was hoping you’d cut out a darker silhouette to create a shadow for the birds to help them stand out, but love the end result 💕

[@yolandakouwenberg-meijer344]

Love these tags!

[@DeniseS-6867]

Love the salvaged birds, they are beautiful💙

[@karinroloff4562]

Tweetie Sweeties.....Very well done...............................😻

[@prof.mommyarty]

I love salvaged/rescued supplies! Those master board kits are gorgeous 😍. To my shame I have way more stashed 🙈. I will check Darcy out, I really need to loosen up (still have an oil painter inside). Art isn't art without mess 🙊. Tina (Shabbydabbydoohdah) dabs on gold paint like that and it looked cool. Oh Ephy! So needy 🙊 be a good boy! Teal is my favourite 😍 especially with purple. OMG that's beautiful already 😍. Perfect choice Ephy. The birds a gorgeous 😍. Gotta love gesso, so useful. I never leave without my kisses at the end 😄. A long one but a good one and it's another fab page. Tfs and have a great day 💖💖💖

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks and here are some extra kisses for you! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@prof.mommyarty]

Awww you're so cute 🤗😘🤗😘

Hallo liebe Barbara! Die Tags und die Birds sind suuper schön geworden!!😍🤩 Ui, Ephy ist zwar manchmal ein kleiner Schelm, aber auch sehr sensibel☺. Schön dass ihr euch wieder vertragen habt und er dir die wunderbaren Stempel gebracht hat😂🤭 Ganz liebe Grüße Luna
