Princess Emily has a very talented mother, the Queen of mixed media art! I love this, it is beautifully creative. Truly inspirational Marta. And, absolutely you must do a "left-overs" video, as I too save my leftovers, every little scrap of anything from packaging to beautiful napkins (I think they're called serviettes in UK), so you doing something with your leftovers I know without a doubt would be inspirational for all of us. Sending much love from Georgia USA! xx

[@creativemomentswithdurinda]

You are never boring..don't worry about that..it's nice that you teach as you work especially for those of us who are fairly new to mixed media. I always enjoy your videos very much. I get a lot of ideas from you and I've learned a lot.

[@sharonsweenyrussell1037]

Love it!!! As always!! I have some chronic pain issues I live with and Sunday was one of those days when I just had to put myself in bed. I had my iPad and was watching one of your videos (the snow girl art pages) when one of my cats came and curled up on ,y lap and started watching too! He even got closer at one point as if to be sure he saw exactly what you were doing!! Made me smile! Marta you are such an inspiration to me and the reason I started dappling in mixed media. I absolutely love it and you make it so easy to be brace and try. I know how much time videos can take to do and the fact that you are always willing to do what we ask for and break it down in simple steps is the sign of an awesome teacher. I cannot thank you enough for sharing your beautiful talents. Looking forward to meeting the new family member, too! Blessings, Sharon aka OKIStampqueen

Realmente HERMOSO!!! Es para mí un deleite ver tu arte, estoy fascinada!!! Gracias... Abracitos de colores desde Colombia!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😘😘😘🇨🇴

[@belindaw5849]

People have to realize they have to use what they have and it they want something different and can afford it then they should buy it. I buy things when I find them on sale, or thrift stores, etc. You are right you have to design around the look of the photo you have. I know how you feel when you say things you don't want to be taken wrong. It is so hard to say things and not step on toes but you are so kind hearted I don't know how anyone could. I had to laugh though when you asked "Am I boring you?" I am sorry if I am boring you." You are just so sweet. God bless you, dear heart

Es hermoso verte trabajar, cómo te emocionas también. Tu niña grande tiene la expresión de alguien muy inteligente, y quizás ya te lo comenté en otro video pero es hermoso que ella participe de tu trabajo, que puedan hacer juntas esta tarea. Debe saber mucho... Debe ser porque mi hija tiene 24 años y todas las cosas un poco exóticas que he hecho, para ella son brujerías ja ja... hasta el jabón que hago con aceite de oliva: no lo usa y compra cualquier porquería. Ya que estoy te cuento que había visto collages, o no sé exactamente cómo llamar a tu trabajo, small art es sólo por el tamaño, pero no me habían gustado, y ahora cambié totalmente de impresión. Lo que haces me gusta muchísimo, aunque siguiendo lo que haces yo me vería en blanco sin saber qué hacer... He visto por allí que haces cursos, yo no sé si podría pagarlos ni si podría aprovecharlos por no saber del todo Inglés, en los videos puedo seguirte bastante bien. No sé dónde está la información del curso del costo y demás. Si pudieras enviármela sería fantástico. Aprendo mucho de lo que haces y lo disfruto mucho. Te aclaro que escribí en castellano para que el traductor no hiciera cualquier efecto, seguramente tú tendrás que pasarlo por el traductor, pero es diferente. Muchas gracias por tu entusiasmo, tu entrega.

[@yolandaflower5749]

Marta, I was blessed the day I found you on KZbin. I can't pick a video that I would call my favorite, because l love them all. l do like when you talk to us and appreciate what you had to say about picking the right photo for the project. thank you for all you do. 😉

[@jeanettereynolds3151]

What a beautiful photo of hannah.so photo genic thank you marta

[@jessi4052]

[@tinamccann8344]

I enjoy your “thinking out loud.”

[@iscraplife]

I love to watch your entire process. Thank you for sharing your gift. You are an artist. Just beautiful.

[@smudgyminn1]

Your daughter is beautiful and your tutorials are the best!

[@theogibson7120]

Absolutely love this canvas, the colours are beautiful. Lovely daughter.

[@monicaeggleton4510]

Beautiful! Your daughter is beautiful as well, just like her mother. AND Marta, you are an artist!

[@judithmorgan1718]

one day i'm gonna wake up and be marta and half a dozen other things i aspire to. i've watched every texture video six times and still feel like i don't know where to start with what i have. so...with about 50 gesso'd and started packaging tags, i'm still trying to figure out what to do next...i think another six viewings ought to provoke me to something... and... i do do something as you're working, and your voice and commentary really helps me a lot... thank you for your gift, for sharing it, and one day... i want to attend an arty class... hugs.

[@jaynesills1248]

OMG Marta, this is unbelievable!!! You are an Artist in every sense of the word. Your creations are always put together in a way that is remarkable!! Love you to chit chat, would not be the same if you didn't. Emily is so gorgeous, you should praise her, we all do it. Thanks again for taking time out of your day for all of us Marta. Hugs, Jayne.

[@astrababe4]

Wow Marta this is absolutely gorgeous. Love the colours you've used and love your chitchat too. I must finish off a shadow box I started 12-18mths ago which includes a photo of my mum when she was 17. I've used Lindy's on it but in green pink and peach colours. Just need to colour the flowers that go on the inside of it. Think I'll go and look at it now. Keep on inspiring us Marta we love it xx

[@TheOtherSideOfAlex]

the people in the comments are amazing! you ladies are what youtube is really about enjoying Marta's content and being awesome!

[@MaremiSmallArt]

thank you xx

[@autumnowl6203]

I love it!! I'm going to make something like this for my mother in law for Christmas (2017) with a photo of my daughter. I would have to wait till after Christmas to share it and tag you because she would see it otherwise. Thank you so much for the inspiration, and you daughter is a gorgeous girl. Xx

[@lori_bain]

Emily is lovely, and the layout really complements the photo. And I love listening to your thoughts!

[@milltownmolly4164]

What a fabulous project Marta! and a beautiful daughter!

[@kendawnccta6]

Your little girl is beautiful. I love this! I used smaller canvas to make an album so I'm use to turning canvas backwards and every which way. I love the color pallet you choose as well! Happy crafting! Can't wait for more inspiration!

[@tinamccann8344]

Using leftovers is always an interesting process and outcome.

[@kathybradley8315]

Marta - you have created such a gorgeous canvas with the lovely Princess Emily! Your design is wonderful, as is your video. Thanks for sharing your art and your time. Sending warm hugs.

[@pamenglish692]

That photo is perfect! Adding the gold at the end was the perfect finishing touch. Thank you so much for inspiring us.

[@eydnamortensen5985]

Your daughter is just beautiful. You are right, the eyes are just stunning. Love your art. Love from Denmark

[@cherylcappellini8157]

Hi Marta. 💚💙💜. smiles and hugs. Thank you !!!!!

[@wendyschultz9648]

Amazing tutorial Marta as usual. Great techniques and ideas, plenty of information for a newcomer to mixed media as myself. I have been following you on all the social media sites as well as KZbin for some time now and you have inspired to try many new things. Thank you for the knowledge you share so freely to us all.

[@mandyemerton9583]

Beautiful work Marta, your Emily makes a wonderful princess!.... love your thoughts and inspiration.... xxx 😘

[@SharronC29]

Love your canvas work and journal pages! Those are the things I love watching you create. Although everything you do, inspires me to try new techniques. And I agree, the more you create, the more confidence you achieve and the work becomes easier. Thanks for all you share!!

[@juneribbons5196]

Emily is a beautiful subject. I just watched another one that you did with the rust and patterns effect. Both are awesome !!! The double canvase is a good idea.

[@adelebuchanan3232]

Beautiful canvas Marta, it helps that your model is as cute as a button. Loved every minute of this tutorial, thank you so much for the time you give to us, you are a super talented artist.

[@redbrit8]

Lovely as always! Your daughters' eyes really are magnetic! I think a project with the leftover bits would be wonderful.

[@donnaconaway6702]

Marta, thank you for the Dusty Attic connection in the States. I cannot wait to check what they have. I love this frame creation. You have a lovely daughter.

[@karlamarenco1746]

Absolutamente precioso este proyecto!!! Una gran idea Martha poner los lienzos de esta forma, interesante aportación. La modelo es bella, gracias por tu arte!!!😊😊😊

[@aliceharley1132]

I love it!! I'm not a big flower person and I love that you make pieces with flowers and you make me inspired to make a piece with flowers!! I don't know what yet but I feel that I want to use flowers in it!! :D

[@peachiegrinsxd]

Your daughter is beautiful! I always enjoy hearing you thought process while you create, it's very inspiring and soothing

[@gailstubbings8606]

Absolutely stunning i am going through all your videos because every project is different not all steam punky look so thank you very much. Xxx

[@HelenMAnderson]

Your beautiful Emily's magical eyes captured in the most amazing canvas! Simply stunning ❤

[@neoomiandrea226]

[@EmmieElle]

You are so sweet and a great inspiration! I am making Christmas gifts for my niece & sister and you she really helped my create a vision. Thank you! I am a fan of your channel.

[@hannahsdesigns]

Great results, Marta. Always enjoy your chit chat. Thank you so much.

[@poppyparadeposhboutique5461]

When I first started watching mixed media videos and saw miss Marta for the first time, she was the one who inspired me to start doing mixed media. The sprays were very intimidating to me in the beginning and it was SOOOOOOOO hard to decide which company to buy from and what colors I would want to start with, this was 2 1/2 years ago, and I have almost every color in Lindy's sprays and Magicals lol.. I can offer my advice on what I did when I first purchased my sprays from Lindy's. I went to their website and looked under the "colors" tab, and there they have each color section of sprays, I chose my favorite from each color section for example: blue = Tibetan Poppy Teal, purple = Witch's Potion Purple, yellow = California Poppy Gold, green = Bells of Ireland Green, red = Rudolph's Nose Red, pink = Cotton Candy Pink, black = Midnight rendezvous Raven, white = Frozen Jack Frost, brown = Cattail Copper Brown Those are just some of my favorites and it gives you a nice color selection to begin with. The wonderful thing is that Lindy's is very decent priced so you can buy a couple a month and build from there. Hope that helps some of you! Xoxo. S.

[@rebcol4926]

You are so pleasant to listen to and I love your tips and ideas. I can't wait to try this idea for Christmas gifts.

[@wendyk2557]

Love your chit chat, love your project, love your inspiration. Always brightens my day when you post a video.

[@roshiniscrafts1994]

oh my god...its so faboulous....i love love love loved it so much...i never try to make any exact art work of any artist infact i get inspired...but now with your permission i will surely try this one...hugs

[@evajanxx4606]

Such a beautiful piece, Marta. I am crazy in love with your making. I am lucky I came cross over with your videos a few years ago. I have learnt so much from those. Each video inspired me with something else. Thanks for that. xxx

[@DonnaJo3452]

Thank you so much for sharing your inspirations with us. I really enjoyed hearing your thought processes. Also the little rhinestone round thingies you were putting on there if I am seeing correctly we call those gum drops. Tim Holtz has a line of those and they are clear. You can use alcohol inks on them to change their color. I know there are other brands I just don't know what they are. Regards from the US!

[@mariannehylander4356]

wow. this is so gorgeous Marta. i think i need to to do a canvas. thank you for sharing your talent.

[@swannwillow9476]

Stunning! Absolutely stunning!

[@bettyphibbs9395]

[@lorigordon1970]

I love watching your tutorials. The canvas is so beautiful. Emily is a very beautiful little girl. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

[@LindaBellangelkisses]

This project is Gorgeous, I love watching you and most of all listening to you. You make me smile Marta. Emily looks like a princess in that picture and you made it even better!!

[@simonegoulbourne9697]

And of course this video has to get my thumb up. as always its full of awesomeness and rather inspiring. thanks again Marta. Your videos keeps me motivated to continue trying.

[@2tinytreasures]

Love this one and the layering of canvas! Hmmm just might try to recreate because colors match my living room perfectly! I have all of these lindys...made sure to bring those to Ecuador with me

[@apsdelhi]

Very good...totally loved it...I especially liked the idea u gave for choosing the pic ....thank you for the advice...

[@tanyadragon1404]

Beautiful!!! I understand what you mean by the perfect picture to bring out that inspiration to create and embelish. Love your project!!

[@sanchitachatterjee801]

This is so adorable!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!👍👍

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

That is a great photo. =) That reversed canvas with the doll, is really amazing! I'm a huge fan of your work. it's all so pretty.... and you have so many great ideas! =) My brushes do that all the time... (the handles start flaking- and the paint comes off the handles... it's annoying). Yes! I would enjoy a mixed media- leftovers canvas/project video(S). ;) Bless you! (for the sneeze!) ;) No, you are not boring... and I agree with your opinion about the photo used, in a project. =) And you made a lot of sense to me. *hugs* (if that's ok). ;) That's a beautiful project. =) I love it. =)

[@traceysseasidestudio8357]

Beautiful both the photo and the canvas.

[@passionforca]

I'm thinking of trying one of these mixed media canvases. I love art. I'm addicted. But I find myself picking on myself when I draw or paint. This seems like something that would be challenging enough and fun.

[@tararead4670]

Great video Marta, I loved the way you stacked the canvas too! And so you know---you do make sense!

[@milliemae4282]

Absolutely stunning !!! I watch ur videos all the time and am mesmerised by ur work. Ur so inspiring ❤️❤️❤️

Hello, Marta! I admire your work so much, I follow all your posts and videos, tutorials and everything. This canvas is especially beautiful, I love the blue and its composition has been wonderful ... and Emilia, how charming and expressive! Thank you for always inspiring me ... I feel I do not have the materials that you use and that really value your projects. Hugs of gratitude. I use Google Translate to write in English ... and I feel I do not have a simultaneous translator for the video, a lot I do not understand ... I even go for the images.

[@ewabaumann9461]

It's simply beautiful Marta! I love it, the composition, the color, the texture. I really enjoy your tutorials and learn a lot every time I watch them, XO

This is just absolutely beautiful! I love this so much! And, yes, your daughter is such a beauty! I hope she liked the canvas! I may try something like this.

[@fabiolavillaperez6515]

Marta I loved it I thought it was so gorgeous I would do one for my wedding

[@yuliakrasnogorskaya584]

Hi Marta! I've been watching your videos for long time. Thank you for sharing your ideas and experience. Like it very much. One question only...Do you cover your mixed media projects with any sort of finishing? To protect it from moist, dust, light etc...I believe that if you put it for example to the wall (or to shelf), after some time it will be dusty...and it will be very difficult to clean. So is there anything to cover the finished project so, that later I may easily keep it clean and nice?

[@lydiaguijt3548]

Another amazing video! SO gorgeous and inspiring! Love it!

[@48roberta]

Absolutely love this project Marta - thank you for sharing with us :) xx

[@sford19]

[@angielovett4159]

I wanted to know what Emily thought. Does she like her 'princess' look? I love it! I think you are always very creative and thoughtful in your explanations. I always give a 'thumbs up!' You are very talented and a pleasure to watch. Thank you!
