[@chuckkolb1270]

Your artistry knows no bounds.

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Thank you so very much Cheryl. I appreciate it. : )

[@PrincessCasserole]

What a creative idea! I don’t know how you don’t have more subscribers these videos are awesome.

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Thank you very much, I am so glad you like my work. As far as subscribers.....LOL .more would be nice, but.... UTube is not my lively hood, just my hobby. : ) Great comments like yours inspire me to keep posting. : )

[@PrincessCasserole]

Ina Solsbery I hear ya. Mine too

[@missysunshine2660]

Oh wow!! Just wow! I absolutely love all your projects but think you have out done yourself with this one!! Just gorgeous! You are very fortunate to have "special" thrift stores to shop at to find all your bits and pieces.

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Thanks so very much April for your encouraging comment and yes,when doing this type of art ,a good source of supply is essential. I would love to work bigger, but I don;t have the space to do so. All my relatively small findings are in 2 shoe boxes. : )

[@gail2139]

I cringe when I think of what I have thrown in the trash that would have made wonderful assemblage pieces. The use of texture paste for repair was enlightening. I always gasp when you cover everything with gesso, then I am amazed when you create a whole new world. Polymer clay is a fun medium, especially in this context. Using the spring added a kinesthetic element -- so inspired and inspiring!

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Thank you so very much Gail. I so appreciate your great feedback. When you do assemblages, you start looking at your trash diferently. LOL I love both type of assemblages, the "pure" no gesso ones are also fun to put together. I am glad you find inspiration here. : 0

[@elizabethnaisbitt1795]

Your shadow boxes are big treasures of lovlieness, tfs xo

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Glad you like them Elisabeth. I love putting them together. Thank you very much. : )

[@machickable]

Watching you makes me happy!

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

ooh..what I nice thing to say. Thank you so much Elaine and please join the fun. : )

[@cjspath]

No one makes junk look richer than you do, Ina! Another wonderful assemblage.....you are so very good at this!!! And, I LOVE that heart, too! Thank you for your inspiration.

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Lol Making junk look good is an art form addictive to many. Glad you like it too. Very fun and satisfying to do. Thank you very much Carolyn. : )

[@valerieannshort7109]

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Thank you so much Valerie. I appreciate your kind feedback.: )

[@wenncarne6644]

[@dawnkarasaki6172]

Totally enjoyed this "bouncy heart" project?

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Glad you did. Thank you so very much Dawn. : )

[@debbieomi]

Absolutely beautiful! We used to have an upcycled art store about 45 minutes away that I tried to visit every few months. Unfortunately, they were volunteer driven and could not get enough people to stay open. You could find all kinds of art supplies including craft papers, clay, jewelry makings, AND stuff like old puzzle and game pieces, piano parts, bits and bobs of everything! It was so inexpensive, too! Thankfully, I have some friends and family who save some "junk" for me and I've gotten pretty good at finding usable items all over! New sub here!

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Hi Debbie and thank you for your kind feedback. I am glad you discovered my channel and enjoy my art. I am taking a little break from posting over the holidays,but will be back soon. In the meantime welcome to my channel and please look around and I hope that you will find many more projects here.that you will enjoy. 2nd hand art stores are a rare find and I hope ours stays open for a long time. It is located in the Denver art district and is always busy. Happy New Year.

[@dastinchen]

Today I find it particularly regrettable that I can only give one thumb. The two boxes were great, plus all the many items and the beautiful colors. The heart is really a worthy, very fitting center. With the spring and the mobility, it just seems perfect. Then these wonderful papers, with the scriptures. I'm totally excited again. Thanks for the inspirations. ❤👍 LG vom Tinchen

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Thanks so very much Tinchen. I so appreciate you enjoying my project. I so enjoy putting these together and I am pleased that you like the outcome. : ) Thanks again so much for all your encouragement. : )

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Thank you Marika. I appreciate it. : )

[@aggiechrismer4739]

Love it. Everyone I know saves all things for me, I've got so many pieces. I have made many assemblages, and still have lots of goods. I still have not painted over them but I really love that look. Always enjoy you.

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Assemlages are addictive and can stand all on their own,without paint. I would love to see yours Aggie. Check out my FB page, the easiest way to get in touch with photos etc. facebook.com/InaSolsbery/ Thank you so very much Aggie. : )

[@kimluptovic2280]

terrific!

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Thank you Kim. : )

[@monicaeggleton8894]

Oh so fun! I will have to go out and do some exploring for possibilities. Using wood boxes add a nice sturdiness that a canvas or cardboard box does not offer. Really enjoyed watching your process. Peace.

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

yes, working with wood boxes is the best for these type of assemblages as they have a bit of weight.Glad you like this and I so appreciate your kind feedback. Thank you Monica. : )

[@Karibee61]

Just beautiful; thank you for the tutorial.

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

You are welcome and thank you for enjoying it Karen. : )

[@maryhill2105]

Thank you so very much Winny. LoriMarie is an amazing artist. : )

[@patricia8889]

Another beautiful assemblage Ina. I really love the colors and enjoy watching your creative mind at work. You have inspired me so much and I cant thank you enough for sharing your ART Room. Your work is such a delight to watch and learn. I am almost done with my first Assemblage and so excited to see my piece complete. LOTS of work but so worth it.

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Thank you dear Patricia for your very kind and encouraging comment. I really appreciate it. I am glad you are giving assemblages a try,it is such a fun and satisfying art form. Would love to see your work. Check out my FB page.facebook.com/InaSolsbery/ an easy way to get in touch. : ).

[@carolyngrandall2570]

always love your assemblages love hearts so i really loved this one i also enjoyed as you mentioned the contrast between the heart and other pieces . thanks again for sharing 😊👍

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Sp glad you like this piece Carolyn. I like the heart too,it is nice to recycle your own stuff into a new piece of art. : ) Thank you so very much.

[@AndreaKidman]

I think this is your master piece, how often did I say that? :))) But yes, this is a stunner.

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

LOL thanks so much Andrea. I am very happy with this one too. : )

[@verafilindeng1995]

I so enjoy this video; what a gorgeous piece, Ina! You´re so talented! We don´t have second hand art/craft stores, but I´ve been hoarding...I mean collecting (LOL) things I´ve found at a second hand shop; cheap jewelry, toys etc. They are easy to take apart. I just wish my hands would like to cooperate. I´m getting a personal assistant soon, maybe that would help. Tfs, hugs, Fia

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Thanks so very much Fia. Yes,you have to be a bit of a collector to build up a stash to work with. I am glad you will give it a try and I hope your hands will improve and you will get a crafty assistant, Ha : )Hugs

[@ZeeCeeCreations]

Ina, this has got to be one of my top favorites!!! I love everything about it!! Thanks sooo much! Hugs Marsha

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Welcome Marsha and thank you so much for your enthusiastic responds. I appreciate it. : )

[@karenschifman5169]

I love it! I especially love the way you use one color and then antique it. What are the copper materials that you used?

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Thank you so very much Karen. So glad you like it. I made a mixture of Rusty Paste by Viva Decor and Metallic Copper Acrylic Paint by Folk Art. I hope that helps. : )

[@vonaldautterback8831]

Lovely! Do you have a list somewhere of all of your supplies you use?

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

I think all my mediums are either mentioned or added with captions. I am not a Brand name artist, I use whatever is on clearance LOL or I recycle....so supplies lists are not part of my creative process as I don;t keep track of names,color specifications etc. Sorry!

[@nikkigrady6756]

Gorgeous piece, Ina! I'm going to try to make an assemblage soon (inspired by this beautiful example). Love your work💝

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Give it a go Nikki, sooo fun. Thanks so much for enjoying mine. : )

[@annemillion1501]

This is so awesome!! I really love it! I have been keeping up with your videos, I just don't have complete access to my computer at this time . As usual, I love all of your work. Here's hoping I get my computer back up and running soon!

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Thank you so very much Anne.I am happy you like this piece. May you get your computer back soon. I really depend on mine, but I survived our cabin holiday without it. barely. LOL

[@craftynita6633]

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Thank you Nita. This is one of my older pieces, glad you like it. : )
