Thank you for sharing!!!! Laraine Centineo paints wonderful wax paper ribbons in a pretty particular way, and also glues two pieces of wax paper to create special effects. Very worth to watch!

[@kasisatya5448]

Suzi I just love your videos, love how you match music to them and how you are on point with the instructions, thank you so much.

[@awildacruz2990]

So beautiful ❤️!

[@6155ish]

Thank you for clarity! I'm a novice crafter but I just LOVE this idea and also a Pinterest Lover.

[@fbales]

Looks like it might be a good technique for making greeting cards. Thanks for sharing.

[@jacquipettitt3389]

What a great technique Suzi. Love the finished piece. Thanks for sharing.

[@SuziDennis]

Thanks for watching Jacqui. I love to try new things and share with you guys.

[@Cabangle]

I love this idea! Brings me back to autumn leaves in wax paper when I was a kid, and my kids...

[@SuziDennis]

Yes!! It does!

[@rebeccagable9629]

I've searched for this idea to use up my scraps & finally found it! LOVE all your stuff!

[@parisnchristlove]

What? How does someone give a thumbs down to someone's creative play? Certainly haters that have no creative ingenuity, a very dull imagination and are consumed with jealousy. As for me, Suzi, I L*O*V*E this project and have done several, but I'm back for a little refresher. Thanks for sharing! and *hugs*

[@SuziDennis]

Sue Chesley thanks sue! Haters gotta hate...

[@JJ-vs2gi]

Stunning! Beautiful piece of music!

[@wandasnow2348]

amazing...you probably heard this already, but your work looks like abstract painted glass...love it Suzi

[@SuziDennis]

These really do Wanda, because of the wax paper. It gives it that look!

[@kerryd59]

I have someone slowly and gently scrunch the finished product until is really soft

[@easterggriffee1056]

I don't journal, but I think this would make a lovely wall hanging like in a pretty frame if you put a different colors and such in it. What are some other things that you can do with them other than journal?

[@SuziDennis]

+Easterg Griffee Not sure. I use them for journal pages and yes you could frame and hang. Too thick really for the kind of collage I do but I'm sure there are those who use thick papers for collage so it would do for that.

[@christierella]

I'm gonna make a faux midori travelers notebook, using this for the actual "leather". Thank you sharing. This is gonna be fun!🎨

[@ShannonGreen]

It's a wax paper sammich. I'm feeling it with my mind, I can tell it's fabulous! Do you think they would be sturdy enough to sew through? Ya know, fold each page in half to make signatures for an artist book or something?

[@SuziDennis]

I think it would depend on how thick you make them. Also, I'm making some with fabric centers among other things and those would do fine. You know the drill....experiment experiment :)

[@wakar1122]

Maybe add a layer of rice paper in between also? I wonder how it would hold up as a book cover. I have some natural brown wax paper I'm going to try out.

[@SuziDennis]

Wakar Amarra See my video just out...Part 2

[@wakar1122]

Will do! Thanks!

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

you meant sandwich, right?

[@SuziDennis]

You gotta love all the "haters" on these videos that give a thumps down. I would never think of doing that. If I don't like it, I just don't respond.

[@wasankari]

What a fun idea! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@SuziDennis]

Christine Wasankari Thank you Christine!

[@wasankari]

My pleasure! I spent a couple hours loving your vids, thank you for sharing so much. Wonderful!

[@CoxJoxSox]

Suzi - you know as well as I do - there will always be haters and you get good at ignoring them over time

[@mrsdizi1234]

I agree, I bet they can't even do a video, Thanks for sharing yours. :) Keep it up.

[@CoxJoxSox]

That is cool beans Suzi

[@SuziDennis]

Nick Doe Thanks Nick!! I love finding out new things!

[@wtb61]

You could run a palette knife underneath to release it. Looks like fun!

[@SuziDennis]

Yes. I do that quite often :) depends on how easy it is releasing. Glad you had fun! Thanks for watching.

[@nothingtoseehere-y8m]

very cool idea, gonna have to give this a try

[@SuziDennis]

Good deal! hope you have success and fun!!!

[@deborahgarretson653]

Wonderful.

[@Scrapitydoodah]

Interesting technique. The end result looks cool.

[@SuziDennis]

Thanks. It was interesting to me too...just the idea of using wax paper in that manner. Had to try it !

[@crystallupton8772]

I do this with Acrylic pints . I call it Acrylic leather , but there are other names for it . I cut it into different shapes to use on Mixed Media art . I enjoyed your video TFS .

[@SuziDennis]

+Crystal Lupton It does feel like leather Crystal! Thanks for watching!

[@dorothykovak4900]

Very clever and pretty. I like this idea. TFS

[@SuziDennis]

thanks Dorothy :) tfw!

[@Spellbound987]

Hi Suzi. Remember how my abstract sort of sheet came out using your technique, a while back? It reminds me of that, similar finish to it. Ive saved this to my Suzi folder too. Love how you experiment and have fun too. Love and hugs Tibs xxx

[@SuziDennis]

Thanks Tibs and good to hear from you. Yes, I do remember that sheet :) Experimenting and not being uptight about it all is what it's about! Cool that you have a "Suzi" folder!!!

[@lujeanmartin8429]

Another spiffy technique! I'm glad you were inspired by Pinterest to try this and take it further. Thanks!!! :)

[@SuziDennis]

You know me Lujean! Gotta try it out :)

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

That's cool, thank you for sharing...

[@SuziDennis]

And thanks for watching :)

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

=)

[@lynn2cu]

Looks interesting. Have you thought of how you will use it? If you have please share. I was thinking it would make a nice journal cover but how would you attach it?

[@SuziDennis]

Most of my papers go into my journals and I'm sure this one has already or will be. I attach most everything with Alene's Super Thick Tacky Glue.

[@lynn2cu]

I think im going to have to try this. TFS!

[@MyMeriArt]

Verrrrrry Interesting Suzi. I enjoy your videos so much because you are always up to something artistic;)

[@SuziDennis]

Thanks Meri! I just have a curious mind! lol!!

[@racquelsgrandma]

Great technique. Thanks for sharing.

[@SuziDennis]

Welcome Julie!! And thanks. I have fallen in love with wax paper!! Who would have thought it!! ??

[@racquelsgrandma]

LOL. I have a brand new roll. Guess what I'm doing this evening....

[@CoxJoxSox]

You are so awesome - BIG HUGS

[@SuziDennis]

Awesome is good :) Glad you are enjoying the vids.

[@minders78]

I can't wait to try this!

[@SuziDennis]

Let me know how you like it

[@22222murray]

I appreciate your continual generous sharing of what you have learned Suzi. What is the name of that beautiful piano music?

[@SuziDennis]

Eileen Murray Thanks Eileen! Glad you are watching :) The credits on the music I use are always at the end of the video. This one was "Worthy to Serve" by David G. Delgado. I love his music.

[@madabtab]

I love your painting! Can you tell me what kind of paints you are using, let's say in video: Tissue paper layering? Do you use all different paints? I would so appreciate your answer!!! Blessings!

[@SuziDennis]

Thanks so much! Paints....well, I use a lot of different ones....It depends entirely on what color I like and how they lay down. Have some Golden fluids I like and some Liquitex and some Folk Art and americana. I like a combo of transparents and Opaques. Recently I have fallen in love with Nova Color paints. They are awesome...colors and the way they lay down on the paper. I do feel it is something that is an individual preference and must be experimented with. That is why I tell people taking my workshops to bring the paints they feel comfortable with. In my Studio workshop, I often wind up recommending some of mine to them AND I wind up learning about new ones they have that I get to try. Hope this answers your question. Thanks for watching.

[@littlebirdie2]

Luv the idea of this technique! I like the look & possibilities of it. I can imagine the feel, but...I want to feel it first hand! ;) Must try this! Is the modpodge watered down or straight from the jar? Thx! Love the share. ~ Terry Y.

[@SuziDennis]

Thanks Terry! Yes watered down. I rarely use mod podge straight from the jar. It does have a wonderful "leathery" feel. Have fun!

[@Hedgehogsinthemist123]

Great effect Suzi. I have made some of these, but what do you do with them afterwards?

[@SuziDennis]

I use them in journals Tracey. You could actually make an image and frame it. use your imagination :)

[@SuziDennis]

Tracey, I want to tell you that for some reason your comments on You tube are not coming to my email like all others do. I get a notice on my phone but not on email. I say this so you will know that I may miss some of your comments so don't think I am ignoring you :)

[@feliciaharris7372]

Great video! what is that beautiful blue you used?

[@SuziDennis]

Thanks Felicia! That was Nova Color paint and I believe that was Phtalo Turquoise. Been a couple of years since I did this. Glad you enjoyed.

[@6155ish]

I Love this idea, just want to make sure I understand! you are using regular wax paper bought at grocery store, correct? The freezer paper, is this also bought at grocery store?

[@SuziDennis]

Yes Ma'am. Regular grocery store bought wax paper and freezer paper. :) Have fun!

[@roxyfur]

very cool, I'm assuming you let the mod podge and paint dry between coats?

[@SuziDennis]

I thought I posted that on there. I laid down wax paper, other papers, paint, etc. at one time, then let dry completely before adding the last layer of wax paper. You can probably do the whole sandwich and then let dry, this is just the way I did this one. experiment! That's the name of the game :) Thanks for watching.

[@roxyfur]

Suzi Dennis I caught that part but wonder if you let things dry while making it, the video speed doesn't show it. :)

[@SuziDennis]

roxyfur On this one, no. Just where I made a note, but you could but when you do, other things might occur with the paint, which is not a bad thing...just a different outcome. When I do this or tissue layering either one, I do them all different ways. The important part is to let it all dry completely before pealing in off the freezer paper. Hope I'm answering your question. Thanks

[@roxyfur]

Suzi Dennis Yes, thank you so much! I would have a hot mess if I tried to mix paints like you did. :)

[@PeachyOutlook]

Great idea - when you finish the papers do you use them in a journal or other projects?

[@SuziDennis]

+Peachy Outlook Thanks Peachy :) Yes, mostly Journals. If you do heavy paper collages you could use there, but I don't so my main goal is to use them in my journal making. tfw

[@PeachyOutlook]

thankyou journals was the plan :)

[@scobbydotwo]

This is a great video. Have you ever tried, using the same process in the video but, used "used" dryer sheets? It has an amazing finish also and works great for mixed media.

[@SuziDennis]

Thanks scobbydotwo! No I haven't and I have been asked that question before. I don't use dryer sheets in my dryer so don't ever have any to try it :) Oh well, I guess somethings do have to go untried in life. Pooie :)

[@morokiya55]

hi, what can replace freezer paper? I can't get freezer paper in my country. thank you. loved the idea.

[@SuziDennis]

i don't know. It has to be a surface that paint, etc. won't stick permanently to but stick enough to do the piece then peel off. I use freeze paper so much. Can you not order it from amazon? I don't know where you are...

[@morokiya55]

Suzi Dennis thank you. I am from Singapore.

[@GrumpetteJV]

A silicone cookie sheet might work! xx

[@SuziDennis]

The problem with that as I see it....having actually done this process.....is that it won't stick at all. It temporarily sticks to the freezer paper and then can be peeled off. That is what makes is work. It can be tried, but I think you wouldn't have different results. Who knows :)

[@morokiya55]

Suzi Dennis thank you. I will try. thank you for your precious time.

[@zoilarivera8866]

Great idea.....love the chime bells at the end :). Do you think I can use this wax paper for book cover so I can put holes in them and sew thread thru and make like a journal? TFS :)

[@SuziDennis]

Thanks Zoila! Watch my next video "Part 2". I talk about that and other things. Thanks for watching :)

[@minders78]

Does the wax paper release from the painted paper parts?

[@SuziDennis]

Not if you do it right. Be sure to Mod Podge both sides and I think using the brayer to press it all together helps too and let it dry completely. I've not had any problems. Remember, the painted papers are sealed in between two layers of wax paper. Experiment. That is what it takes.

[@laurathurston4757]

Have you tried this as a journal cover? Does it bend well?

[@SuziDennis]

Yes. feels like leather. works good.

[@Hedgehogsinthemist123]

Missing your videos Suzi ❤️🎨

[@SuziDennis]

thanks Tracey :)

[@lizzywurmann]

Hi Suzi, I'm loving your videos!!! I live in Chile and I'm wondering which type of wax paper do you use?? I'm always asking about brands because I have to buy everything online to import it. Thanks!!!

[@SuziDennis]

So good to have you on here Lizzy! Well...I use Reynolds brand wax paper but I don't think it matters. That is just what I have on hand. Any kind of wax paper you use for kitchen matters should be just fine. Thanks for watching!!

[@lizzywurmann]

Suzi Dennis Thanks so much!!

[@SuziDennis]

Lizzy Wurmann No Prob! have a good time!

[@lionpaw55]

Sweet technique! Tfs Hugs L&Y
