[@DiamondsandDobermans]

Hi Rach, after all these years I still love watching you create this masterpiece. I sure miss you on KZbin, hugs, Cathy

[@erykfreethinker7147]

You fully deserve to be put up for a fellowship of the Royal Academy. I value the time spent having the privilege of watching you work and sharing the result as much as the same amount of time at the Tate or the National Gallery. Thank you so much Ms. Rach.

[@DiamondsandDobermans]

Have to tell you: I watch this video while I am on the treadmill so I have probably watched it 100 times! And you know what? It gets better every time!! I love it so much!! I am slowly gathering the supplies to try to create my own but will never tire of watching yours!!!

[@bbgurl147]

I have never taken any art classes/ scrapbook class. and for the past 4 years I have tough myself by watching KZbin videos. You definitely have influenced me on a lot when it comes to mixed media and canvas art. just wanted to say THANK YOU! I have found my true passion.,

[@huichingng9310]

I have never seen anything like this... it's unbelievable!

[@debbiedillon6567]

This is one of the videos that helped get me hooked on mixed media art. Very creative ways of using materials and images. I have watched this video numerous times and have learned something new every time.

[@artfulevidence]

debbie dillon Thanks very much Debbie. I'm glad you have found it helpful and have learned from it, happy arting :-)

cubomania3 It was a synthetic fabric which is why it will melt and burn when heated with a heat gun.

[@artfulevidence]

cubomania3 You're welcome :-)

[@lindaknox7725]

Love, love, love it. Umbrella man and tree branches are among my favorites.

[@trealkid007]

I love the way you use glossy accents to attach charms. It was wonderful to watch. Love your work.

[@shawnrowell6195]

The other day as my 4yo son was painting beside me at my art desk I realized he was humming the music from this video. We are both huge fans.

[@bouflin1]

So glad you are back with a new video. I missed your creativity so much. Please don't ever leave us. You inspire us. Thanks ! Linda

[@lindachristoffer8410]

I gotta say this one is one of my favorites of all your pieces of art. I keep telling myself I'm going to do something like this and have yet to sit down and do it. But I love watching this vid over and over. Btw, thank you for uploading.

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you Linda. I haven't watched it in years, probably since I edited the video, lol. I do remember having a lot of fun working on it though :-)

[@Sandygirl992]

All I can say is WOW! A true artist! I kept thinking you were done and you kept adding and adding and adding. It was so unique and so facinating to watch. Thanks so much for sharing your talent.

[@dolcevitausa]

BRILLIANT...it just boggles my brain cells how you are able to come up with all these different techniques to incorporate so brilliantly in your tag...as my Aussie cousins would say I am gobsmacked...

Hope the manufacturers give you lots of stuff to try - everything you touch turns to art gold!

[@zoetic26]

Incredible work, thank your for sharing! Watching it all come together and change is somethin else! I kept thinking how this whole piece began with musical note tissue paper!

[@kathymartin5730]

Luv it, glad to see another video! You really know how to stretch your imagination with these products. Putting the umbrella man in a scary scene is brilliant.

[@hamidakhatun8068]

It's amazing. I kept on thinking that you could not possibly add more and it was finished but then you went to add more and make it look as sophisticated as ever. Can't wait to try the rough bristled material and painting over it. Going to go try it now!

[@giovannaalvino4040]

Brilliant Rachel! You have NO fear! Love it.💀❤

[@nikeundcov.7551]

You are a very inspiring happy-time-bringing artist. I watch all of your videos over and over again...thx to you I started on mixed media and I love every minute I spend on my projects..btw ...I like your voice, too - no need not to comment at any time..

[@lrichardson47]

Awesome again! I love color and your use of it brings tears to my eyes. Seriously, not kidding. I learn from you as I try my hand at mixed media. I've always loved paper crafting and mucking around with inks. Now I'm extending my horizons with your inspiration. Thx. I'm gonna have to get some of those paints. They are delicious as you said.

[@livartnow]

Fabulous work!! Those silk glazes looks awesome!! tfs, hugs and smiles, Linda

WOW I truly love this beautiful work of ART ! Thankyou for sharing your talent.

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you :-)

[@brittcasey922]

Stumbled onto one of your videos a short while ago and have been Spellbound ever since!! Have been a paper crafter for many years and was lucky enough to attended a workshop with the lovely Tim Holtz this August, but since discovering your videos I have become a devoted fan! Your work is truly amazing and inspirational. Thank you for sharing your talent :)

[@jenmcginnis3989]

I have to say this is awesome . Great colors, items , and ideas. Because of these things I am now a subscriber. Can't wait to see what you do next.

[@artfulevidence]

Hi, the Umbrella man and the fence are cut from "dies" - These are pieces of metal that have a shape etched into them. You need a die cutting machine to use them. Basically, You lay your card or paper over the top of the die & the sharp metal edges of it cut through the paper, and cut out your shape when you roll it through the machine. There are lots of demos on YT if you look for "How to use a Bigshot" How to use a Cuttlebug" - These are the most popular brands of machine.

[@paulapoole4798]

This was AMAZING. You are truly talented. I have learned!!!

[@priscillasimpson6070]

Love all the detail! Its beautiful

[@wendykidd]

This piece makes me smile!

[@faithw9387]

Amazing work!! Such a pleasure to watch you create, thanks for sharing. Nice to see you back!

[@vickynoy8243]

I like that work of art -- this is amazing piece of Art work

[@marybirder5663]

I never tire watching your vids, because I always come away learning a new technique or a better way of creating something from scratch. You have such a unique and vivid imagination! Thanks so much for sharing your talent.....

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you, that's very kind! :-)

[@NerisLaces]

[@Chillergiller]

You constantly amaze me

[@artfulevidence]

Chillergiller Thanks :-)

[@crazihunibabi]

I wish I had that kind of talent. This is stunning!

[@jemimabarretto]

WOW!..love the spiders and web..omg u make such incredible art!

[@luv2skrap]

OMG!!!! here is another MASTERPIECE! I am so glad your back, you are such a talented lady. I love watching all your videos, you inspire me so much. I love all the techniques you put into this canvas...totally

[@LynzCraftz]

Wow absolutely fantastic! I always love to watch you & your creative process & this time in green, my fave! It's so awesome! Thanks for all you do, Rach. Your so inspiring! TFS Lyn

[@9serenity99]

shes using matte medium, glossy accent, gel medium, and texture paste...but the main glue is the glossy accents in the bottle thats used on pretty much everything because it sticks to everything pretty much but the glue used with the brush is most likely the matte medium or gel medium...sorry I know you want her answer but I thought I would give you a heads up on what they are in case she doesn't see this Rach, your work is amazing, you know I love it. I am so glad to see a new post as always.

[@alicraft562]

Magnificent, as usual !!! thanks for sharing! Good to see you on the TUBE!

[@4tjinta]

Siiiiiigh! It's all so gorgeous what you make. My favorite colours are the green and blue you also seem to love :-).

[@AnjuliJohnson]

what a fun project!!! love that super huge stamp you used.

[@artfulevidence]

The Lumieres and Silks are actually pretty similar, so yes, you could use either. The Silks are a new product to me, so I guess that influenced my using them. They are actually acrylic glazes, though as you can see can be built up in layers to produce intense colour. They have a larger colour range than the Lumieres, though I still love Lumieres too.

[@MsRudieAnn]

Thank you so much for sharing. I am watching, and listening and loving it.

[@MariaSnookDesigns]

This is absolutely an amazing piece of artwork! I appreciate theme and the path you took it through. I especially appreciate that you were willing to share your whole process for this piece with us. I definitely learned a thing or two. Just fantastic work!

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you, that's very kind of you to say :-)

[@Laundryqueen88]

you're back!!!!!!!!!!! we can all be inspired again by your creative work! tfs!
