How to color PAPER DOLLS even if you don't like to color paper dolls?! JUNK JOURNAL BUCKET LIST

[@londaedwardsrau3245]

A long time ago (in one of your videos) you said something like, "when you think you've ruined it, keep going." I think that is exactly what you did during this video. There were moments when you didn’t like the results you were getting. But you kept going until it was amazing! Perseverance works. Thanks for sharing the whole process...even the things that didn't turn out the way you expected/wanted initially. Stunning.

[@Robin-qc4gn]

OMG you do NOT have sausage fingers!! You have some of the most talented fingers I know!! And I love the beautiful heart you made with them. ❤❤❤

[@luiseheinzl]

oh , THAT means, sausages are talented! :)

[@Ms.W529]

Definitely no sausage fingers.

[@kandrews6356]

I agree with @Robin-gc4gn - You do NOT have sausage fingers, and I, personally, liked the heart you created with those hands. Smile and accept you beauty - you are you, and we like YOU, just as you are.

Boy for a lady who didn't want to color paperdolls you took the bull by the horns. So very interesting video. I enjoyed every minute😊❤

[@debrak5314]

You have the patience of a saint! No way I would put this much effort into a paper doll! Great effect!

[@tiasjunkpaper]

Wow, incredible! I love watching you grapple with the challenges that come up until you find something that satisfies you. I learn a lot from your example! Thank you!

[@Ichyt]

I was once told, in reference to home decor, “do not be afraid to layer beauty onto beauty.” That is what you do, your layering is opulent.

[@kandrews6356]

I enjoyed watching you finish this cover so much... every step of the was is such a learning experience for us too. Especially when you get something you don't like and then fix it to be amazing. You're one of the best, Luise. Thank you for doing what you do - you are extraordinary..

I think this is genius. I love the muted colors and yet, they are so vibrant at the same time.

I love being on this journey with you, taking us along the entire procedure. i learn so much, including being brave and trying things! Danke Luise! ❤⭐

[@frannyaitch]

Oh my gosh Luise you stopped my heart so many times in that video when you didn’t like the outcome of your experiments. Thank goodness you kept at it as the result looks fabulous. 10/10 for perseverance 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@connieaaron5743]

Thank you for showing us multiple techniques for TH colored pencils!

[@edithmars3449]

Thank you so much for showing us the basic of coloring a paperdoll and then the amazing way with the platters! I got the Dina Wakley gesso and that really makes so much differents that even I finally am happy with the result of my colored paperdoll...with splatters😃 have a wonderful evening Luise❣️

Hi Luise, it took me almost a week to finish this vídeo because of my times but it was worth every minute of it! I love it so much! I have learned so much! Thank you so much ! I hope you have a wonderful day! ❤

[@alysonhovanec6314]

Definitely had a wonderful time! Always so inspirational Luise, thank you!

[@annjohnson4366]

Fun to watch you Luise! Here’s a hint for you, only partially roll the die thru the machine, just where you want to cut, then you won’t get the embossing. Of course this only works on one end or the other, but would work in your case here. You can also only put the top plate over the area you want pressure on to cut. 😉

[@luiseheinzl]

Holy cow! Thank you! Haven't thought about that

[@doreethorpe4800]

First of all, love those talented fingers and the beautiful heart you made with them. ❤️ Second of all I LOVE all of your videos but for some reason this video was so wonderful to me. Soothing, calming, so zen and always inspiring. I enjoyed every second. Thank you!

I enjoyed to see the process of making this awesome cover1😍 I love the way you colored the paperdolls, specially the one onthe cover, but also happy to learn this technique that I defintly will try after I got the DW clear gesso at home😃 so helpfull to hear tour thoughts outload, so I understand your steps. Thanks for your inspiration, Luise and have a great day❣️

[@elizabethkeeling-carreau1873]

Thank you for sharing your entire process in this video. I learn to persevere when I see what creations you make because of continuing to “fix” your make. When you were trying to blend the yellow and orangish yellow I found myself yelling wild honey, wild honey! Lol I absolutely love the way that you exaggerated the makeup to an extreme to create something so uniquely you. ❤️🇨🇦❤️

As always I got so excited when i saw a video from you but wondered if i could sit through an almost 2 hour video and here I am almost 1 and 1/2 hours in and absolutely fascinated watching your creative process and debating on ordering every set of those watercolor pencils!!

[@cindycreateforlife]

Wow, that was a trip around the mountain, I was like yes, oh no, yes, oh no! In the end your cover represents your continuously evolving creativity, doing things you would not have done before! I always learn something from your videos and today was - don’t give up! Love it!💕🇨🇦

Hello Luise! This was so fun to watch your process and witness your decision-making. Thank you for sharing this and also showing you you never ever ever give up! Your Madama Butterfly is ready for the opera now! Kind regards

[@catgrrrl5666]

Love the way you colourised the dolls, reminds me of the way they did it with old black and white photos. My family had a history with photography (not sure how they did the colours) but they are some of my favourites 😊

[@jodikelsey1868]

Loved learning from your process…and seeing how your creative brain works!! Just beautiful!

[@maryboggs2534]

Fascinating to watch you Louisa!

[@MorgaineChristensen]

I watched your video yesterday hoping for ways to colorize the Tim Holtz paper dolls. You inspired me to watch additional creators and their methods on “how to “. I think I found the simplest method for me to color these paper dolls after finishing up 2 of them. Prepping the paper dolls with clear gesso is a must! Then take water-based coloring markers and add your colors. The colors are transparent enough the folds and highlights show through without having to do heavy highlighting. Even the very dark parts of the clothing picked up the color. I was quite surprised and quite pleased. Plus there was no need to deal water, paints, ink, etc., it was a mess free process for me. LOL this method may not be very artistic but it will work well for my needs. Thank you for the inspiration to explore the idea of coloring the paper dolls.

[@luiseheinzl]

Sounds great!!

[@KateriBurnett]

So beautiful. Luise, as I watch I wonder what is she doing? But as you go along it really comes together. I really love it.

[@janillingsworth7478]

That's great colouring in. I love the subtle technique The rule about blush,(rouge), is that it should not go lower than the nose but is on the apple of the cheek and is softly blended. However if she was Korean in wedding attire she would have very distinct red circles on her cheek. I was a model back in the 70s and still love playing with makeup. In the 30s and 40s black and white photos were carefully coloured. My mothers wedding photos were done like this. I have also a photo of me as a flower girl when I was two that has been coloured. Colouring black and white photo's was a full time job for mainly women during the 40s through to the 60s. I think the big white book title dominates and becomes the focal point. The white splatters do help. I wondered if you whitened her forehead to balance out the white label and make her the focal point again. I love how your set ideas get blown out of the water when you experiment and play. I think this makes you a more dynamic person that your aversions can shift to become preferences or more on that preference end of the continum.

[@Yahoo12]

Luise, this vid needs to be a Short. It will entice viewers. Love your creative mind. 🥰

[@floatintoadstudios]

I loved this video so much. I was at my desk coloring some flower die cuts with you while you were doing this. My husband and son are both working tonight, so I was creeped out in my house all by myself and I'm so glad I had my friend, Luise here to keep me company!

[@jolajolcia2342]

Luise, your technique of colouring dolls is totally different than what I have seen so far and I love it. It wouldn’t be Luise style if was simple, straightforward colouring. It’s distress and grungy. It’s very interesting and inspiring. You have amazing talent to achieve beautiful results. There is always something new to learn from your videos,always! Most importantly there is a lesson to never give up and continue even when things don’t work out. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼❤

I don’t know if you can get Krylon workable fixative. It sprays on & you can layer it on a project. I spray it on glossy paper to use markers or color pencil or chalk. Then I spray again to fix the surface. I love your technique, will try this tonight.

[@denorahmicale5581]

Lol you’re a hoot, luv ya

[@amyslingsby6947]

I didn’t know there was clear gesso. I usually spray things like paper dolls with a clear matte spray called Mr Super Clear. I got that idea from a You Tuber who repaints dolls. She removes the paint from the face of, say Barbie, and then sprays Mr Super Clear and then her pencils will grab. I got mine from Amazon, Hobby Lobby and more recently a model making shop my husband dragged me to. They use it to make plastic models less shiny/slick. It dries really quickly and because it’s spray, it’s even and fine. Everything that company makes is called Mr something. 🤷‍♀️
