Kylie, I love hearing your thought process as you go along and all three turned out great! I love texture, so I also enjoyed seeing how you achieved that. Wonderful...

[@KylieCooStudio]

You are very kind Marianne - thank you :)

[@mommcaden6897]

Dang, Kylie! Those are wonderful! I LOVE them! I am particularly fond of the dragonfly, of course, but all three are FABULOUS! Thanks for keeping on keeping on!!

[@PegRobinson]

Always a process. Thanks for sharing your lovely work.

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks so much Peg :)

Hi Kylie, in my eyes you can do no wrong in your Art, everything always turns out fab in the end, you are so great at what you do best, Love your Art.x💕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@KylieCooStudio]

Awwwww thanks so much Catherine

[@ednamorgan7827]

They turned out so well despite your doubts, Kylie. I think the sparkle combined with the grungy look is great. Thank you for a very informative video. I really like these pieces.

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks so much Edna - much appreciated :)

[@marmaz57]

Kylie, I so appreciate how you invite us in to your whole journey - the ups and the downs. By sharing your feelings and thoughts about how your project is progressing - and by persevering when your piece is in a middle stage that is not pleasing to you - you teach and encourage me more than you may know - not just about art techniques - but also about life. Your art always comes through the challenging stages to beautiful fruition. Your use of materials always inspires me. Thanks for taking us on the journey!

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thank you so much for your kind words Mary - very much appreciated, as always. Every piece of art is a journey - but some pieces take detours along the way :) Much love xo

[@tharp769]

I couldn't agree with you comment any more.💙

WOW 😮 WOW 😮 WOW 😮 Kylie, those turned out really really stunning and gorgeous. I really really love 💕 each one. You and Nina, make such a marvellous team, giving us a wide spectrum of crafts and ideas 💡. I really really also like that you leave in what you might call the oops 😬 moments!!!!!!! Which is so good for us to see too. Thank you so much. Stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks so much Mags - much appreciated. I had quite a few oops moments this time lol. Thanks again xoxo

[@evelynrauseo467]

These embellishments turned out fabulously! Thanks for keeping it all so true to life. I struggle a lot with my decisions. It is a journey, but seeing an expert like yourself have doubts and work through them is so encouraging. TFS. I did. 🙏💌

[@KylieCooStudio]

Oh you are so kind Evelyn - thank you

[@toniakoblens7486]

I think you did a wonderful job. Thank you for showing your process and your perseverance. I am so glad that you show your doubts, because that is making you so human and your videos so interesting. Thanks again and take care.

Many thanks Tonia - I appreciate your kind comment :)

[@jackieelliott2913]

These turned out lovely with just enough glitter. Sty safe, Jackie

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks Jackie - and you :)

[@tharp769]

Thank you so much for this! I struggle so much sometimes, especially with products I'm not familiar with or styles & techniques I just love & want to try. I often really dislike what becomes of it.😕 I appreciate, so much, you showing us that it does happen & it's ok to keep going...don't give up.💙 I really love that you share your thought process too.💚 Ty for sharing this project, including the 'ups & downs'. They turned out just lovely. I think I'll give it a try.💜💜💜

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thank you so much for your kind comment - I am so pleased that in some small way this helps you. The funny thing is ... I thought this was going to be a very easy and quick project! But sometimes things just go a little awry. It was good for me just to stay with it and work my way through it. Thanks again :)

[@greenmacaroni8872]

Hi Kylie, I really love your work and the grungy look of it. Between gardening and arting, I also have consistently dirty hands, lol! Your perseverance definitely paid off. Thank you for sharing. Hugs, Julie 🥰

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks so much Julie. I'm the same - if it's not paint and ink then it's earth and the garden on my hands - and more often than not it's a combination of the two! Hugs for you too

[@lucyfanning7496]

I loved the way you just kept going.Makes it real.Love your videos.

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thank you so much Lucy :)

[@jneigler]

Always a pleasure to watch you. I like all three. Thanks.

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks so much Joan :)

[@kimbain4368]

I've found that a lot of craft projects look like the dog's breakfast at some point, but almost always perseverance wins out and the project is redeemed. These turned out great, so pretty! I'm glad you stayed calm and carried on. Good job!

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks so much Kim - the dog's breakfast is certainly how I felt about it at several points. Thanks again :)

[@sherrywright6634]

I am glad you persevered! Love the results! Thanks for sharing this project💕

[@KylieCooStudio]

Many thanks Sherry

[@karenlulay]

I also enjoy to see how your mind works. It helps me figure out things you can do to change things as you think they are going wrong. Which by the way I love how they turned out. Beautiful

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thank you so much Karen :)

[@hollymaudsley3187]

Great end product....in spite of your doubts! Thanks for finishing.

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks Holly - they got there in the end! :)

[@loriericks3243]

Thank you for sharing. I always love your art. Also glad to hear your really struggles and doubts. As we all go through all of these same thoughts and processes. We all need the support of others thoughts. “ Today is a Gift”. Your art is a gift to me and many others. Thank you.

[@devanntylor9798]

These turned out great! I liked them in your journal and your idea of putting one on one side with journaling on the other. 🍃🌻🍃

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks so much Devann - and I am certain these are going into those journals now 😊

[@dawnkarasaki6172]

Just love this project Kylie and love that you persevered. Sparkle and grunge is good. There seems to be no such thing as a faux pas in art.❤️

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks so much Dawn - this one, although really a simple little project, just seemed to get away from me right at the start - but it felt good completing it. And no there is no faux pas in art

[@martinmixedmedia2899]

Nice project I enjoyed following the process all's well that ends well.

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks Martin - and you are so right :)

[@sueyunker2920]

Really liked these Kylie thought you did a great job - I think we can all relate to feeling unsure during the process but love how you push on and get a result that you're happy with.

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks so much Sue - this was just one of those projects that in my mind was going to be very quick and easy but right from the start that seemed to change! But it was good for me to see it through. Thanks again :)

Lol! I had a similar experience with a jar of modeling paste. Wow,was it ever stuck!😄 Your little arts are lovely. Thank you for continuing through the process. The grunge and glitter look is interesting. Stay well💙😊

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks so much 😊 There was actually something quite satisfying about pulling the solidified glue out - strange, I know lol

[@shelleywalker280]

Hi Kylie - thanks for sharing this project. Your advice - to just carry even if you are not sure if you like the way something is going - is spot on, as these turned out so well in the end. I was going to destash a bottle of the glitter Mod Podge I haven't used in forever, but I think I will reconsider, as I love the effect on your embellishments.

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks Shelley. I have no idea why the glitter mod podge came into mind because as I said I am not really a glitter user - but I have to say looking at them now I really like how they turned out. I could not believe how bad the tub of mod podge was but there was something strangely satisfying about pulling the gunk out! Thanks again :)

[@alisoncouzens3736]

Wow Kylie, you’ve certainly gone all out with this project!!! and I must admit... (sorry lol ) ... I did smile to myself at times, they ALL though, turned out amazing, like you I’m not a big fan of glitter, sparkles or gems, I do use them at times more so in vintage projects, but your embellishments will look super in you little journal to enhance the pages. Love this month’s prompt ‘The worlds your Oyster’ as the saying goes. Thanks for a great video again, so enjoyed watching Kylie, take care Ali xx

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks so much Ali - this one just felt like every step was a step in the wrong direction but it came good in the end! Thanks again :) xo

I agree that it's great that you left in the parts where you were struggling. We all go through it, and it makes us feel better about when it happens to us. I'm glad you kept going on these. The dragonfly is so beautiful! And may I just say that I love your accent? I haven't come across any other crafters or artists with Scottish accents, and it's just my favorite accent to listen to - love it! 💗

[@joydixon7718]

Kylie, I liked the way these ended up very much. I also appreciated you working on a plain background surface. x

[@KylieCooStudio]

Hi Joy - thanks for your kind comment and thank you also for the feedback. Thankfully I realised myself that they were going to be difficult to see and I slipped in a piece of paper that I thought would help. Other than for videos already filmed I will try from now on to keep the background plain. I'd also like to have less 'clutter' build up around me but that's a difficult habit to break! Thanks again :)

Enjoyed this so much, you have inspired me to try this, I do so many different crafty, glue, beads sewing and paint etc. projects already….( like you lots of bits and bobs and scrap left over And I cannot bear to throw even the tiniest of them away!) thus beautiful and fun idea,just really appealed to me as fun. ( and like shopping from my stash of bits, instead of spending money or using gasoline to look at the stores or online!💪🏻💕) I am Thinking that a fun mobile to pop in a card for my mom’s baby sister. (Momma passed 10 years ago. And I just found out that my aunt, her sister) at 87 is not well…. I Hoping this might cheer her up as she hopefully will get her health back… She lives so far away, that a weekly phone call, some cheerful cards (or a little package now and then)…is all I can afford to do. …You are so interesting in your comments, as you think a lot like me, and I have made some of the very same comments to myself, while working on my projects. …I came here via Nina’s link. And have decided that both of you Would be lovely people to know and learn from. I am in a whole another country , and hardly get out of my house lately… so visiting and learning, with creators like you two, really makes my week…. Thank you very much!

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful comment. The mobile that you mentioned sounds wonderful and I hope your aunt is well enough to enjoy it. I also enjoy 'shopping' from my stash and tend now only to buy things like paints. The wonderful thing about the internet is that it allows us to meet new friends all over the world. Thank you again for watching and for your kind comment. Best wishes to you

I love what you do! Love your art. May I ask. Why do you use Amazon ink with your script stamp? Is there some property of it that you like? Thanks!

[@KylieCooStudio]

Hi Cass - thanks for your kind comment. I think that when I first started to use ink pads I just happened to buy the Stazon and I've always liked it - it's permanent and it dries quite quickly so I find both of those points to be real benefits for me. Hope that helps :)

[@cassfonnesbeck8057]

@@KylieCooStudio thanks! I use Amazon but also other brands so I just was wondering.

[@nellcovington4001]

Hi Kylie, these turned out just beautiful. I think you lost your original direction, which I also loved, when you added too much cheese cloth. It covered up too much of the background items. Just a little bit of cheese cloth peeking out from your center pieces would have been better, so we could have still seen the stamps, etc. Still, you recovered and ended up with something different but just a lovely. As others said, you are the artist. You can do things however you wish. Even though you felt that you had lost your way, you recovered beautifully! So, job well done!

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks so much for your kind comment Nell and I think you are right that it was the cheese cloth that through me. I've used it hundreds of times before but I didn't stop and think through the scale of it to the background, especially in terms of the little points of interest in the background. Thanks for watching and commenting :)
