[@evajanxx4606]

Hi Marta, your video is, once again, very inspirational. What pains me is that somebody, who is so creative, clever, enthusiastic and with open heart teaches us how to make art, says about herself she is not even an artist! Marta, you teach us, in yours videos, to believe in ourselves, so I beg you to do the same because you ARE AN AMAZING ARTIST! You don't need to have "a certificate" to call yourself artist. That what you produce is matter. And to me it is art and doesn't matter what you say for me you'll always be an Artist!!! Big hug xxx

[@MaremiSmallArt]

Eva Jancarova thank you ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

[@leannemitchem8865]

Maremi SmallArt I

[@MicheleEngel]

Marta, you are UNQUESTIONABLY an artist. :-)

[@SammiJarrad]

I agree!! You are absolutely an artist! 💜💜💜

[@madeatbentwood]

I agree wholeheartedly. This is the first video I have watched of Marta's and when she said she wasn't an artist, after showing us so much of her wonderful work in this single video, I was agog!

[@christinegunning2021]

I am new to mixed media and always watched the videos from Gabrielle Pollaco and Finnabair with envy. I thought I could never do anything like it until I started watching your videos Marta. You are a true artist and a fantastic teacher and I'm learning so much from you. Thank you so much xx

[@MaremiSmallArt]

awww thank you so much ! I hope you will feel inspired and encouraged to actually try and play ! I promise you will love it ! hugs xxx

[@jessicaleslie-byrn8008]

Green my favorite color and butterflies galore..im a huge fan ❤

[@susanmyrick2913]

I watch so many of your videos I am starting to speak with a Polish-Irish accent. Lov, lov, lov.

[@MaremiSmallArt]

susan myrick heheh 😀😁😁😂😁

[@riteasrain]

Lol!

[@tamielizabethallaway2413]

susan myrick I'm so glad you said that!!! I was thinking "where is she from?" i thought Russia at first... but kept thinking to myself; "i swear i can hear Irish in there sometimes...?" now i know! LOL :-) xx

[@susanmyrick2913]

You have a good ear to hear that Irish in there!

[@tamielizabethallaway2413]

You think...??? I thought the Irish part was the easiest to hear! Not just the accent but the way the words are arranged in a sentence. It was the European accent i couldn't place....Mixed together has a kind of Russian twang to it lol. But what also convinced me the Irish seemed correct, is that she uses a lot of UK elements in her art, such as docrafts brand (papermania, Anita's etc ) and items from a shop called the works! (I love the works! It is so cheap and has such a large selection of crafty bits, books, gifts and stationery!) :-D xx

[@elizabethnaisbitt1795]

Oh my, such wonderful pages, and I love what you created with the 'pebble look'. Butterflies are such fabulous creatures you can pop them anywhere. Tfs xo

[@jennifer32949]

Love texture, any type. I too love ,love love, watercolor paints. I have many sets and only yesterday was looking at the ones on your desk of Jayne, colour combination great, but it's what you do that keeps me coming back. Thank Martha

[@MaremiSmallArt]

Glad you like them!

[@dianebumback8658]

Your work is so beautiful! I loved seeing all of your work. Now I need to go back to older videos and watch all of those. You are wonderful and your work is beautiful. Thanks. Diane xx

[@Mrsangierice]

Hi Martha; I missed you ,your family and of course your work,so inspired to me !! Thank you for sharing your videos!!! You made my day

[@MaremiSmallArt]

awww thank you

[@terrilyndel]

Oh yes, very beautiful dragon scales.

[@estefaniamonastero625]

Maremi, you are wonderful. What I love the most about your style is the never-ending "oh I Love that" because you create and experiment such great soul fulfilling emotions as you do so. I need that. Can I imitate you? And maybe it will become a habit to feel great and in ecstasy about art and life. Love ya!

[@Rojo731]

The red background and circles... loooove it!

[@jesseb5112]

I don't do a lot of art journaling but I enjoy your videos. I was making birthday cards while watching this. Being able to talk abd fussy cut is an AMAZING skill!

[@terrilyndel]

I loved your harmony/harmonica fold. My husband even listens to your videos with me, and believe me, it doesn’t do that with everyone.

[@leighcarver6826]

Did I just hear you say "I'm not even an artist" ???PLEASE don't sell yourself short, you most certenly are an artist! And a very good one at that. Thank you for all you do ☺

[@theresarasche3173]

You are such a sweetheart and I love listening to you!

[@carmenrosas4281]

I agree with Christine... you are truly a inspiration I like how you teach with so much love and simple words than I can comprehend and so much fun toooo.. you make it so much fun and have shown me that I can make a work of art out of anything love you lot I feel that you are part of my family I always look forward to learn from you.

[@cinnamon-spice]

Everything feels right with the world whem I'm watching your videos. x

[@michaelannfitzgerald8742]

Love seeing your art. This is a handy video to watch. Its easier do a background almost without thinking but when it comes time to do an image nothing comes to mind. I have quite a few backgrounds in my journal with no focal point.Thank you so much, this one's a keeper.

[@witsue]

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video. Hugs

[@RobertasArtisticAdventures]

Your art is so wonderfully STUNNING! Love the colors and compositions! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and techniques!

[@lori_bain]

You *are* an artist! Most definitely! I always refer to you as a mixed media artist. :-)

[@TOBYCAT93]

Gorgeous gorgeous Marta love the colours the greens and the black The whole finished product is lovely Thankyou Hugs Carolyn👍😘

[@simonebisaillon561]

I just love to watch you over and over. So much information and creative ideas. TFS

[@leticialightfoot1419]

Oh my , keeping the butterfly on the plastic was genuis, i def have to try that....

[@chrispfeifer9235]

I loved your finish product at the end. I love to watch you create and those are the videos I like to watch!

[@riteasrain]

Watercolour is my favourite medium. They say it's hard to use but the more you use it the more you get to love the surprises and how it has a mind of its own. I'd love to see another watercolour painting vid. Thanks Marta! x

[@4ke_1978]

Why would you say you are not an artist? 😧 you are!! you are!! you also are a heARTist, your works are made from your ❤️

[@Lisa_G3]

The green was so beautiful!

[@MyArtyHeart]

Marta I love watching your videos because you are a little bit crazy just like me and you say things before you think, and your so much fun. I love getting inspired by your videos, your so fun! Thank you for making these videos and sharing your knowledge and tips! love you to bits! Hugs xx

[@haddockandbentley2903]

I just loooove green!!! And these colors you use are amazing!!!! Thnx for al the great ideas!!! You are so sweet and a good teacher

[@kathleenkline1]

Thank you. So many wonderful ideas!

[@cleo8665]

Marta, i just love the way u talk and explain things. U r my main source of inspiration. I am learning so much from ur wonderful videos. Friendship is an awesome word, u feel like a friend even tho we live thousands of miles apart. U say that u r not an artist, but i disagree with that...whatever u attempt always comes out beautiful and i think u r an artist. :)

[@CuadritosDeColores]

All those papers are going To fly with so many butterflies!!!😍😍😍

[@tinawebb3338]

I really enjoyed watching this video! A good reminder for focal points! Thank-you so much for sharing!

[@butterflygrl1000]

Loved all your ideas and works of art!!! Don't ever say your not an artist, because you most deff are!! Can't wait to see what else you create, because I'm totally inspired right now :) ~Nikki xo

[@janicebennett9847]

Love these 3D butterflies Marta I use them all the time.....love love love them lol xxxx

[@MindlessCrafting]

Your creations are gorgeous. I love the way your project came together. Thanks for sharing!💟Hugs, Tracey

[@mkitten3643]

That watercolor painting is unbelievable. Stunning, truly. You're such an incredible artist, Marta! And those greens with the embellishments are too gorgeous. I'm learning more & more from you.

[@lorifletcher7318]

I see a rose on this video down at the bottom...i love it!

[@craftydegrasse3679]

Love your videos! I could listen to your voice all day,it relaxes me. Thank for all that you share.💜😄

[@cathieparker7586]

My thoughts exactly !

[@simonegoulbourne9697]

I think that's what I was lacking.. Focal Point... Thank you Marta. I needed this.

[@winnie2222]

I love your channel so much. I feel like I’m there with you as u talk to us! Im sending u so much love & peaceful vibes. Ty for the inspiration ✌🏻💚🙏🏻🌈☁️ namaste 🙏🏻

[@rainbarber7657]

Love the way you used the watercolors. this is a nice alternative to sprays because I only have homemade sprays. also, images from coloring books are good for focal points.

[@georgiawells7486]

Your excitement is so contagious! I love it !!

[@candyparent2483]

I am so inspired by your tutorials. Thanks so much Marta. Hugs

[@rickiquilt]

I consider you my friend....I think you are a fantastic ARTIST!! Love all your tips and I love that mixed media you created with the colors and butterfly!!

[@mkitten3643]

ricki kalp I know. I wish she & I were friends. But I'm settling 4 her speaking 2 me as I watch her create such beautiful colourful art. Simply gorgeous! 😚

[@agaloveskonwalie9114]

Love the green, my favorite color. And you are an ARTIST!!!

[@catyeah8592]

Oh, Marta! What a great video!!!!! Can't wait to meet you at your workshop in the UK in June. Big hug, cat

[@MaremiSmallArt]

cat yeah yay that is awesome to hear !!!! June will be here in no time !!!!!

[@bl0tt44]

i have been finger drawing with heavy modelling paste, it's really easy. sketch an outline of what you want (picture frame, wings etc.) then just dab the paste on with your finger. let it dry then cut it out! x

[@jennharts1]

Thank you Marta for sharing your tips on focal points. I did take notes and will use them, thank you so much for your videos...I love them!!!!!

[@tararead4670]

Love it Marta great job. And so nice to see your pages again!

[@miekemiddelhuis3782]

Beautiful, and thank you for all the good tips Marta!

[@julieguira7837]

Hi Marta! Thank you so much for this ideas for the Focal Point. It helps me more to be creative with the colors I am choosing. I also just joined your Maremi's Creative Cafe on facebook.

[@moreiss1]

Gorgeous!! Love all your ideas! I've been using old pictures as my focal points lately. Thanks so much for all your wonderful help.

[@magdalenao4268]

Dopiero dziś trafiłam na Twój kanał i jak się cieszę,że znalazłam taką zdolną Polkę:) Postanowiłam Twoje pomysły przenieść do swoich prac decoupage-genialne! Pozdrawiam z pomorskiego :*

[@aliceadler4569]

Beautiful dragon scales!!!! Love the results! I'm so sick with a cold. My throat is sore & I am coughing up my lungs. So I feel for you and hope that you're not coming down with an illness. I love water colors too!!!!

[@MaremiSmallArt]

Alice Adler oh.no 😣 hope.you will get better soon 💙💛💜💚 i would.not be surprised if it's the talking hehehe it seems that I barely stay quiet 😀😀😀😎 hugs to you !!!

[@AerynKDesigns]

I'm glad you finished off this background. The stone stencil is one of my favourite and your project came out great.

[@MaremiSmallArt]

Aeryn Kelly thank you 💚💚💚

[@ChicagoDreamer5]

Love your videos! Thanks so much. You're jumpstarting my creativity. I'm just beginning, and looking for cheap things to use. Love your yummy focal points, looking forward to slowly get some. Last night I started my first painting. I use match sticks to light my candles & I've been saving them. I used a few, and I have been saving the metal flat things that hold the wick for the votives. I also saved the plastic hanger things I cut off of the top of things, and paper jewelry hangers I've bought. And this morning I thought of pipe cleaners. They are SO cheap, so colorful, you can size them with pliers and bend the top into a 'flower' circle, tie them together with used dental floss. When some spices get old, sprinkle them over the top of the gesso. I made a big jar of gesso last night, loving it. I added a few more things today & will gesso more this evening & finish. Thank you and bless you. Love your channel!

[@ChicagoDreamer5]

Thank you also for teaching me that less is more, and leaving things uncompleted is a good thing, because one can come back later & finish it with the yummy stuff when it finally comes. You are a wonderful teacher, and I love the 'chatter' and especially the guinea pig. I'm so thankful to have found your videos. Thank you!!

[@ChicagoDreamer5]

Oh! Forgot to include the scraps of textured shelf liner. Great way to add texture. And I am looking for old cloth in my box I use for rags. I have some elastic that lost its stretch and I will add that.

[@ChicagoDreamer5]

Bubble Wrap. Nylon stocking. Cotton Balls dipped in color. Plastic holding the things on the cards like pens, etc. Jute. I also love the Xmas ribbon that curls. Am going to cut that long strand in narrow lengths & then curl. Old cards I've been saving. Postcards. I've been saving old credit cards. And business cards. Broken necklaces. And my building has a lending library, and it was FULL of hardback books people have put down there that I'd never read, but I grabbed a bunch of them for the binders to make junk journals, and for their pages, and I found a really big book about IRAs with tabs that I painted on the pages last night. It wasn't watercolor paper, and I need a better brush, but it was a good beginning. All free supplies.

[@juanalubian6355]

Always a learning experience watching your videos

[@carolineturner3148]

Love love love the green!! I have to try the Jane Davenport watercolors, the colors are brilliant! 💕

[@ClearlyCards]

La la love your videos. Very inspiring!!! YOU INSPIRE!!!!! Thank you!!!!

[@monalcreates]

Awesome ideas Marta! Love your pages!! :) xx

[@vanessat5958]

Love, love your work on paper bags. I'm always interested to know how other artists store their 3-dimensional mixed-media pages, bags, whatever. I'd love to see how you keep all your pages stored!

[@susanrobinson7467]

Love Love Love it!

[@jankeT31]

Love this video! I really enjoy working in adult coloring books. I color or paint the pages and then reduce them on my copier to use in art journaling. Or I can copy the page in black and fussy cut elements , such as flowers, butterflies, faces, etc... to do in many different colors.

[@MaremiSmallArt]

faaabulous tip !!! thank you xoxox

[@Jasa2112]

You are so talented! You are inspiring me so much! Even if i am so tired with 6 mo baby and another two kids, and dont sleep enough, i want to back to mixed media after watching your useful videos!

[@daniellescicchitano7542]

Thank you Marta for all your greats videos and your laughs. As I on my own, I watch your videos when I eat my lunch most of the time. So you make my day :-) great creation at the end of the video, I love it And please, you're an Artist. no doubt

[@BlaizC]

Great video, Marta! You can always scribble the Neocolors onto your mat, then add water, if you want them to be more liquidly like the watercolors you used.

[@MaremiSmallArt]

BlaizC awesome tip !!! thank you 😀💙💜💛

[@ninaglaab6506]

[@katiepowers5509]

[@maoosterman]

Wow amazing. Thanks for all the ideas.

[@h.gweniveremoody5414]

I love love love when you go through your thought process, it helps a lot! I am going to go check out all your other videos bc I need to see how to make the textured look and I have a million questions. I also love when you say how much you adore your finished creations. We love your pages so it's perfect that you see it too. I use most of these focal points too but I have tried both and I find that it's easier for me to find a focal point or points first, then create a background once I've got a color scheme and theme going. I am still looking for focal points for pages I've made in the past so you've taught me I can use colors or words from the background to bring forward. Thank you!

[@robinbryant9783]

Love watching your videos. Excellent tutorial!!

[@sunflower2850]

I LOVE YOUR PAGES. THANK YOU FOR SHARING AS ALWAYS.
