This video makes me get the idea that I would love to see a "craft like no one is watching" video from you where you are just experimenting with you mediums as if the camera isn't even on. I think I could watch something like that all day. I absolutely LOVE it when you learn something new in real time! It's awesome!

[@luiseheinzl]

Oh.... 🥰 Thank you 😊

[@joycekenney4398]

You are an alchemist of artistry! So amazing. Gorgeous grunge!!!

[@karengp8263]

You got it! Again! Yes, that is what “saturate” means. Its full of all the liquid it can hold. 👍. I hope you realize how brilliant you truly are!❤❤❤

[@microdot153]

LUISE ---- your ideas are amazing. I always learn so much from you and your wonderful techniques. I save your videos so i can rewatch them and remind myself on how you did different things. Thank you for sharing your talents with us

[@jenpurple9008]

Luise - this is so amazing. I love love love mixed media and your style is grunge perfection! I have watched this twice!!! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@craft-o-matic399]

Wow Luise! You are wildly creative! I have enjoyed every minute of this video! Thank you so much! They are gorgeous! Lisa

[@gaellegrassin6815]

Always happy to see your videos, above all, it's easier for me to anderstand, because, I'm a poor french woman... I love your créations, thanks a lot for sharing. But when you are looking for a word, I can't help you ! Big kisses from France 💙

[@69Sugah]

I absolutely love every one of journals and planners you have shared. They are all gorgeous. I wish I had a printer to get a few of your digi kits to add in my art journal. Each one of your journals has its own "personality". I am very appreciative and grateful for your channel. I would enjoy being able to coffee, eco-dye and tea dye papers for sure. Getting messy is so much fun for my inner child (and me, LOL) I love that you share your struggles during the creative process. The "OH no-s" have me laughing because I can relate. Keep the ideas coming I soak them like a sponge. Love you muches. Big hugs from long distance. Mwah💋🐼Mwah💋🐼

[@judybott1936]

Thank you once again Luise for taking the time to explain this to us. You are greatly appreciated! 💕

[@RedArrowTinker]

Thank you, Luise, for this "controlled grunge master class." I always learn loads of things watching your videos. You also are great at helping us choose which products to purchase, depending on our own personal styles, and that helps us save money. I agree, that vintage glitter bottle with the old-style label is a work of art! I hope you had time to get a nap after recording this giant video for us. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@sybilhardy8683]

Luise, when I watch your videos I feel like I am in a really good art class. It’s note taking time. Thank you for sharing this gift.

[@ArtsySolutions]

You were up real early. You still speak perfectly fine. Those are some gorgeous images. Thanks so much for showing us your grunging process. That was very helpful because I tend to add too much dark ink. I love how you can improvise when unexpected things happen. You still make it work. I love your grungy style.

[@donnaborda]

Thank you for this video Louise. I learned a lot and will try some of your techniques in my Harry Potter book nook.

[@staceyrivera475]

Louise. Your art is absolutely amazing. I hope to learn so much from you. Bring on the grunge. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@birgitjohnson3668]

Not chaotic at all! These are my favorite videos just watching you play and hearing your excitement as you discover new techniques. Can’t wait to see more with this stencil technique. Now I’ve got to get that Santa paper 😂

[@wendyschmidt4339]

Love your new digitals ❤ Please consider people in winter clothing next time Thank you for sharing your talents 🙏🏼🌷

[@paulacavallo7109]

Hello Louise you and Barbara are my favorites 🎉

[@paulacavallo7109]

Louise I heard you were uncertain about describing differences in paintbrushes you can say instead of hard ( stiff brush instead of softer Like a watercolor brush hope I can help you with some simple English words) I can understand you great)

[@barbclark69]

I can hardly tear myself away, but I have to watch the last hour tomorrow. This has so far been a college course in a small window. You've got so much information packed into this video, I'm going to have to keep it around and try everything. I absolutely love the aha moment whenyou discovered the new process. I love that. Thank you Luise, you're so creative and so appreciated. --Barbara Clark

[@69Sugah]

Ms. Luise, thank you for this very informative tutorial. You have always created beautiful projects to be added in journals. I really appreciate the time you take to explain the process and demonstrate how products can be used to add detail and depth to any journaling creation. I am so thankful to have found your channel and Barbara's channel. You both share some awesome ideas. ❤😊

[@stitchywitch42]

The one of the boy with the olive coloring is fantastic, they all are. But that one makes me think of using this technique and color to make a forest style background....hummmm, I may need to inhance my stash 😅 💙🖖 Audrey

[@maryzinter2048]

Luise...another amazing video! This should be called a Master Class in Grunge! I love how you explained every step and show the effects of different mediums. It's just so fun to watch you create! Also, the sounds you make when you do something unexpected...love it! Now I have to watch the video again...and take notes...oh, and order some crypt grit paste.

[@Harmonious2U]

Thank you, Luise, Excellent tutorial. I learned so much. I appreciate all the time and effort you put into your videos. Blessings!

[@martapelusas]

I love the effect of the stencils with medium and tea bags, great result! Thanks

[@snuffysmif7]

I love you! It would be so much fun to be in your presence for a cuppa tea or coffee and craft with you. Thank you for teaching us.

[@colleenbullecks1729]

Oh it was so exciting to watch your thought process as you tried the stencil technique! It's fabulous!

[@craftcreek4624]

OMG, I was gonna make a joke about the finger in the glue pot - and then you made it! So funny! Thanks for getting up so early, I was awakee at 5am, so turned this on! See you in Dephemeremberaahahahaha - I'm printing out the packs I bought from you today...2 more sleeps!

[@Veronim78]

Absolutely love all of it. Thank you for teaching and showing all these wonderful techniques. ❤❤❤❤

[@kandrews6356]

Thank you Luise... this is a loooooong video and I'll be watching in sessions... LOL. So generous of you to take the time and patience to go through all the details and share them with uis. Fabulous grunge, especially through the stencil. Love watching your idea 'experiments' in action.

[@tharp2499]

Of course I'm still here...I enjoyed every minute of it!🤩 I've learned sooo much. Plus, you saved me hours frustration and wasted product.😉 Thank you for the education!💗

[@nicolinavincelli9369]

[@tannaorr4133]

You’re so creative! By the way, your English is very good. Better than you think.

[@risamateo8003]

Your excitement is contagious! These details are so clear ans i feel like i can do it. Thank you for sharing your process.

[@daniellahartensveld]

Thanks for another great video! Your English is good enough. Don't stress about that. I am Dutch and so English is not my mother language, but you are doing a great job. ❤

[@martymace9139]

Loved every minute. So exciting to see your creations come to life.

[@katherinetwilliams4254]

I always love watching and listening to to you. I get inspired and learn new things to challenge myself every time. Thank you❤❤❤

[@luannfischer747]

I knew it was over 2 1/2 hours when I started, so I just planned accordingly. Took a few breaks for stretching the legs and enjoyed learning your ‘reasons’ for why you did what you did. Thanks for another wonderful session.

[@sandypeppers6861]

Stellar as always! Thank you for the tutorial!

[@DeniseS-6867]

That sure is some fabulous grunge, love them❤

[@debbieharper4771]

I learned so much from this video. Thank you, Luise! I didn’t know what grit paste was for… now I see.

[@elizabethkeeling-carreau1873]

I love the way that your creative and scientific brains blend seamlessly to make the perfect items come to life. All of the details are fantastic even if we don’t use all of your methods. I love learning from you because you break everything down so precisely. I think the best red for the antique red look is candied apple. It doesn’t go to the pink side. These cards are stunning Luise. Now get some 😴 so you can stay healthy. (I’m always a Mom first). 🤣🤣 🤗🇨🇦🤗

[@JoanneOwens1943]

Watching this on dec 28 in USA. Red strip Liquitex medium on Amazon is labeled MODELING PASTE. I love this technique Luisa and you are great demonstrating it. TFS! 🥰

[@ehirasuna2770]

Warched to the end, so interesting!

[@sallyashton5352]

Thank you for sharing such a detailed tutorial with so much information and instructions that were easy to understand. I have ordered my crypt paste and I certainly can not wait to experiment and play. I enjoyed watching every single minute ❤❤❤

[@doreethorpe4800]

Love this video Luise! The cards are fabulous and I thank you sooo much for sharing your techniques with all of us and I love when you discover something new! ❤btw, your English is terrific.

[@dawnc8755]

I very much appreciate your detailed explanations of how the different products work to create different effects. These are wonderful techniques that could be used in other styles/colors and types of projects. I also appreciate your humor and curiosity, your excitement at learning new things. It makes the video more interesting. Thank you!!

[@jennyplowman1471]

marvellous Luise. the textures on these are great. Thanks for sharing

[@JoanneOwens1943]

Yes, I felt your excitement 👏🏻😍

[@candmmom]

Loved all the detailed information. I will rewatch one day when I can do the step by step process to see how it goes. Vicky in FL

[@mangm1]

[@DennetteThielen]

Great video showing different effects. ❤

[@craftcreek4624]

I still have collage medium in vintage photo color, so I can use that in the stencil - great techniques - each and every day from you xox

[@joannoble500]

Genius friend. Have a beautiful Christmas!

[@rainydaygypsy]

This is so interesting. I am anxious to try it! Thank you.

[@createscout247]

Fabulous tutorial. Thank you for all of the details that you shared. One of the best parts of this video is seeing your creativity thought process in action. Love this technique.

[@litehausluver]

Thank you for your time! I learned so much!!

[@crapemyrtlejournals]

TY for the grunge tutorial!!

[@kristenmesker8476]

Love this technique. Thank you, Luise! I had to go to town unexpectedly so I popped into my local JoAnns…they have Tim Holtz products on sale so grabbed one of the grit paste….I may or may not have come away with a few more of his products 😉

[@alysonhovanec6314]

Fantastic tutorial Luise. I love how excited you get, the detailed instructions, and especially, love your style! Thank you so much! ❤❤

[@hunnyprice9824]

omygosh I learned so much!!! i love this effect... amazing video 😊

[@desireemartin3485]

This video is amazing this will really help thank you for taking the time to do this😊

[@bevplewes7153]

Fantastic video, thank you

[@Artistandkeepsakes]

Very informative loved itxxxx🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@sis9622]

Thank you for sharing

[@KimGibsonfiberlover]

A marvelous tutorial! But now I wonder what the grit paste would do on top of Lutradur with heat distressing and sewing and, and..... oh the possibilities!

[@valquitral8342]

cool effect

[@king69777]

I so enjoy your long tutorials bc you're filled with so much information! I loved the way all of your photos came out! I really did like the Santa with the red, the one you called a fail & said it looked like shit lol, I personally thought it looked b-e-aaa-uutifuull!! I hung onto the end & was sad you cut out splattering your favorite picture, bc that was what I was waiting for... I figured you must have been tired of talking lol. I enjoyed the entire post! cannot wait until yr next one... do you ever go live?? see ya soon!! -Ms. Heart❤

[@luiseheinzl]

Thank you so much 😊 I have to figure out if my technology allows me to go live....would love to do that in the future again

[@CherrySignature3]

Love it

[@DonnaLueders]

Oh My...These are just awesome!!!! How do you come up with these wonderful ideas?

[@katrina6276]

❤❤❤

[@microdot153]

REALLY REALLY enjoy watching you experiment with different results. QUESTION tho ---- do you ever have problems with your item rotting or molding from using a food item ? Or does boiling the tea or coffee stop that from happening ?

[@luiseheinzl]

Never had problems like that. I put my tea bags on a heater or in the sun and then let them completely dry

[@sallyb1975]

❤

[@Imjinks64.]

I was following just fine. I was born in America and I speak weird English alot. Lol

[@KateriBurnett]

Hi Luise, if we don’t have the grit paste, do you think we could get a very similar look by using a certain glue and making it bubble with distress oxide mixed in and maybe some very fine sand? Loving the long video. Feel like I’m in class thank you. I see what you’re saying about the boy in a forest, but my brain kept taking me to Titanic and the green being seaweed and him being at the bottom of the sea. I like them all and love the process. Thank you so much for this video. I’ve got to go try this. Although I don’t have the grit paste I will have to improvise. You know Luise if we are try Luise Heinzl fans we stayed right here watching to the end. I did and I sure many others did too. Thank you Thank You. Again again. You do long videos right. I love the Santa with the trees at the bottom of the video he looks like my grandpa. He use to dress as Santa when I was a kid.

[@luiseheinzl]

Thank you so much for your wonderful words! I think it could be worth a try with the glue. But I would choose one that dries really hard otherwise I would think it could come out like rubber in the end

[@KateriBurnett]

@@luiseheinzl ran across this video again this morning, and I now have the grit paste in all types. I love it. I use it on metal and cardboard slides so stinking cool.

[@tiffanynordstrom]

Could you use the distress inks if you don’t have any distress stains? Have the Santa bundle and just got the vintage photos. Can’t wait to try out these techniques. Thanks Luise!!!

[@luiseheinzl]

yes, that would work, the result will get a bit different, but of course you can use those

[@paulacavallo7109]

When u were speaking about this video I notice you struggle with paintbrush you would say harder one is “more stiff”

[@denisepiekarski4159]

Follow your thoughts!? Sometimes you can't follow your own thoughts my dear!

[@annthomas9583]

I wanted to report that I tried using napkin under layers instead of tea bags and they were too flimsy. Tissue paper might work, so I will try it next.

[@rhondamueller1651]

Luise, would this technique work with an actual old photo?

[@luiseheinzl]

Yes of course!

[@debbieharper4771]

Are the Santa clause strips in the Santa clause bundle?

[@luiseheinzl]

yes, they are part of the bundle and available separately as well

[@paulacavallo7109]

Or stiffer u pick one 😂

[@paulacavallo7109]

However you spea English very well
