Wow!

[@KariGibsonArt]

I love what you did with the building, it looks hand-drawn like that. I also love to dig in my "magic box of words" for what I call, found poetry. Great fun, lovely page!

[@KimDellow]

Found poetry! I love that. what a wonderful name. Thank you Kari.

[@kirstyjamieson1394]

Love this! I struggle with getting started and always seem to be staring at a blank page x

[@KimDellow]

I am so glad it can help Kirsty!

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

Great page! I love your circles! "Letting Go" is something I struggle with all the time. (I have my whole life). I hope to have a chance to do something inspired by this, soon. =)

[@KimDellow]

Thank you! Hope you have fun with it Phoebe!

[@heatherm2125]

The struggle is real! I am a novice mixed media artist and Kim’s videos help me a LOT with this.

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

kim, You're welcome. =) I will. =)

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

@@heatherm2125 I'm happy to hear you're getting a lot out of Kim's videos... I consider myself to be an intermediate mixed media artist.... but even if I were a "professional" and really good at it, I would still find value and "Learning", in Kim's videos. =)

This was wonderful!! What a beautiful transformation! Did you copy the digipage onto a transparency?

[@KimDellow]

Thank you! Yep, the Digi-Deligthful download is printed on a printable transparency, or acetate, and you can get them in stationery stores.

[@malvenachristianmusicbaxte8830]

Thank you Kim. That’s Great way to add another dimension!!

[@heatherm2125]

So many great ideas in a short video! What did you print the circles on? It looked like it was on a transparent film of some kind?

[@KimDellow]

Yep, it's printable transparency or acetate, Heather, look out for it in stationery stores.

[@zeldacheri]

@@KimDellow What are you using to adhere the transparency to the page, please? I can envision it just popping off in a couple weeks or months as the glue continues to dry/age - do you know of something that will keep holding it a decently long time?

[@KimDellow]

It is Golden regular gel (gloss), Zeldacheri, it is great for sticking things permanently to your work. I decant it into a little bottle for easy of use.

Is this a magazine page and did you gesso it? ☺️

[@KimDellow]

It's actually an events flyer but it could be a magazine! I use old events flyers as my Junk Journals (I did a video about what I use here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iX25pGhopa92rKc). They are often made from a nice paper and I usually pick out the matte ones to work on. I don't tend to gesso mine but if gesso is your thing you can happily gesso it. I might use gesso if the papers are too glossy.
