Awesome!!! I love watching you create with products that we crafters use every day ,but never use in the creative way that you do. Thanks for the inspiration

[@suayres]

You have the most incredibly fertile imagination! Watching you is a real mixed-media education. Thank you so very, very much for sharing your ideas/talents/genius.

[@lvl0rg4n]

This is beyond mixed media. It is truly art. Absolutely wonderful and inspiring.

[@DonnaslifePart2]

The wings brought it home for me. Another moment of creative inspiration. Thank you.

[@brownbreakfast]

I know this is old, but it just came up on my recommend list. I wouldn’t normally comment on something so old, but I loved everything about this video. The music too. So motivating.

[@cnash962]

I would never have guessed the mask was plastic. WOW, Thank you for the awesome tutorials!

[@ScrapPaperQueen]

Rach, You are AWESOME! I love what you did with this mask. Very creative, cool, and current! I hope Tim Holtz is watching your videos to see the magnificent things you do with his product. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@jerjer12111]

Rachel you never seem to run out of really really cool ideas!!! Recycle those Halloween masks ladies!! This is awesome..especially since steampunk is so popular! Love it totally!!!

[@usaearthling]

OK I saw the black Gesso when I replayed this video. Thank you for the prompt response and thank you for keeping us inspired.

You are such an talented artist, I LOVE this mask! Thank you for sharing your processing of creating great art. You are one of those treasures I stumble upon in search of mixed media artists that let us see a glimpse of how they work! So thank you for that!

[@winston3518]

This is wonderful art project and watching you put it all together was fascinating.

[@chloe7719]

Wow Rachel, what a fantastic tutorial. Love this idea and technique.

[@ReneesatItAgain]

That was the most incredible media mix I have ever seen. Bril!!!

[@artfulevidence]

Thanks, glad you liked it :-)

[@japhyryder66]

So happy to see another one of your videos! I love the fact that sometimes as I'm watching I think "What the heck is she doing?" But they always turn out to be masterpieces.

[@paniecs]

as usual absolutely amazing work. will have to show my students at school this one. it will blow them out of the water. love it. psandi

[@dragonriding1]

Hi Rach...just used your ideas to make one of these with a Polystyrene Head....my husband was most impressed!!! The heat gun melted the polystyrene though! He said it looked like scarring...which was most in keeping with the Steampunk theme.... Pat

[@lottis1675]

You seems to have very confident hands. It looks great.

[@nolashay]

WOW... you are A M A Z I N G!! That was a joy to watch. What a beautiful piece. You are so freaking talented!

[@virginijasileikiene1989]

Very creative. I enjoyed watching this creative process

[@whyducks1]

Amazing! I wish I had just half you creative ideas and I would be a very happy bunny indeed!

[@maryjanew20]

Wow, I so enjoyed watching this come together! Wonderful!!

[@lrichardson47]

I love your projects! Thanks so much for sharing the process. It is a great sounding board for my own ideas. You help open up my own imagination.

[@inspiredcaroline24]

I happened upon this while searching altered frames??? Anyway, as soon as I saw Steampunk & your name, had to watch!! Wow. What a terrific creation. Reminded me of an old warrior type mask by the end. Absolutely brilliant use of dry wall tape & metal pieces, especially fabulous eyes.... Of course, anything you create is a winner, this is another example of that!! So, not at all what I set out to see but really pleased it came up! Oh & I do appreciate it was 2012 so for you, many many many more creations since. I've been m.i.a so it's great to have such inspirational viewing. Tfs. C😊

[@dragonriding1]

Awsome work again Rachel...I look to see most days if you have uploaded any more work...so keep it coming please!!!

[@airkatmama4]

TFS, Rachel. I, too have been watching your vids and think they are so amazing! I love where your mind goes with these art projects and love that you film the whole process on how to do them. You are again amazing! Keep up the great work and thanks for the inspiration!! Much hugs, Aeral....;)

[@donnagwen62]

Always look forward to your new videos and once again you never disappoint. Just a fantastic project. Thanks so much for sharing your talents, gwen

[@TonyaGibbsDesigns]

I love watching you work.

[@deborahwood9304]

and it all came from you - you rekindled a love that I thought had died in that fire - he is only 18 months old but he needs to know how I got to where I am, to know family through my eyes - to see things we saw that he never will - the space race, Sputnik (anyone remember watching the skies for it to pass over and the fear our parents instilled in us???) 9/11 so so much -- and art/writings is a great way to speak to our children - to lay a path for them from past to future - you SO inspire me

[@Rose_Arrowsmith]

amazing. thanks for showing the whole process-- it was very helpful to see the progression!

[@pcrusberg]

That's just fascinating. You have such a brilliant imagination. Love it!

[@ShoshiPlatypus]

Wow Rach this is Grungitastic!!! Love it! I love the way you think! It looks like ancient metal... Thanks for sharing yet another outstanding art work with us. You are an inspiration! Shoshi

[@ArteDar]

What an AMAZING work of art...I so dig it! I wish you had a side job in the theater for stage designing....you would ROCK their world like you do mine! It's always a pleasure to see what you are creating. I'll show hubs and get him moving on his mask ya sent...TY so much. P&L, Dar

[@deborahwood9304]

I see your work and think of a bagillion ways I'd like to do it MYSELF -- NO REFLECTION ON YOU I just don't "copy" but you give me so many ideas I can't write fast enough to jot them down --- I wish I could and maybe I can -- look at nature and get slapped with ideas like you do -- it's MAGICAL the way you bring such life to inanimate objects - I'm creating a journal now more perusals of the aging LOL for my great nephew mixing my art with my observations to give to him when he's older

[@rarejem12]

Oh my, as usual you are amazing! This is just so cool! The ideas you come up with are astonishing! Thank you for sharing on you tube...love watching your videos!!

I love masks!! So very cool! It amazes me how you come up with these creative ideas. I think this is one of my favorite projects of yours. Just love it. ~ Di

[@artfulevidence]

You can buy adhesive foil tape from any auto shop. The mesh I used is branded as Magic Mesh here. I found mine on ebay, but I'm sure there are similar products around - I like this one because it's adhesive backed which makes it easy for attaching where you want it.

[@artfulevidence]

@BeyondBracelets It is a product called Inca gold - though gold is not the only colour it comes in - I used the platinum colour for this project.

[@malinauzunova6406]

Love it Rach! It was perfect for Mardi Gras (Feb 28).

[@artfulevidence]

No, sorry, it was a one off piece made using a mask that was gifted to me, so I'm keeping this one.

[@PatriciaPageMosaicArtsCrafts]

This is absolutely brilliant!

[@wandaburns7064]

bloody awesome. gave me some ideas to make a robot mask Ive been thinking about. thanks.

[@artfulevidence]

@usaearthling Not sure what the mask was made of - felt like some kind of paper mache. It was gifted to me by a friend to alter. The mask was painted with black gesso, not paint, and finally, no, it does not have a name lol
