I love how watching your process, I am ready to make one now I had to practice other things until I could get here to make this. Tfs. Your art is gorgeous. Thank you, thank you.

[@GabriellePollacco]

I'm so glad this gives you the confidence to strike out on your own, ! Hope you enjoy the process!

[@mrsajc1229]

I have been looking for mixed media artist on here but none of the ones I have seem hold a candle to you! You are so talented! Keep making art! I love watching you inspire me to try it. Thank you.

[@lorriannamoore5580]

Hi Gabrielle... I happened upon your tutorial while looking for a coupon for Michaels one day. I must say you are a true atrist. I am 54 years old and have always loved making things, but when I saw your work it really got my creative brain working again I thank you for that. Im making a steampunk canvas for my sons birthday....

[@tuthillg]

I love the soft colors that you use and our style is very unique. Can't wait for another tutorial. Your art is beautiful!

[@elaineshryock7714]

You transport us to another place and time, Gabrielle. This one is rather medieval. Makes me wonder where we'll go next! Thanks always!

[@bernicepiotrowski9694]

Stunning, as usual! I really like the dusty attic chipboard you have been using. The zipper, the window...all such lovely additions to your work.

[@greneeful]

Straight to the point video, fast, not filled with unnecessary cleanup .... video !! Good job , great project ............. thanks !!!

[@traceywilson86]

I have just retired and after several years of scrapbooking am now very interested in working with mixed media, This canvas is fantastic. You have made me feel so inspired. Loved the tutorial.

[@Flutterbyebabe1]

Fantastic Gabrielle....I really enjoyed that. I loved it before you used the gold powder on it, but then the whole canvas just came to life. I loved the zipper but haven't seen it on any of the U.K.sites...I must have another look. You really are an inspiration, thank you. Hugs Eileen

[@janforsyth7972]

Your videos are highly detailed, well documented and informative.Your work is extremely beautiful. A joy to watch the canvas come alive.Fascinating!!

Beautiful. I just discovered your videos a couple of days ago and I've been having a great time watching them all. Don't stop!

[@icatstaci77]

I'm in a group of artists on FB and we were chatting today about steampunk YT videos. Your channel came up...and it's a unanimous vote that we love your style and need more of your videos...your fans have spoken! =) Staci

[@theaussieperson369]

Like many mums, my days are busy. In the last year they have become busier as I care for my aging parents. It is so draining to watch my beautiful mother's physical and mental health decline as she suffers intractable pain. Sometimes at night though I sit up and watch your tutorials. They are like a breath of fresh air and give me some time to escape into a creative world (time for myself). Thank you for sharing your talent. I look forward to whatever you are creating next.

[@gabbynorth7552]

So sorry...if she would talk we could get on with it quicker. I love her style but is she a mute?

[@TheAwakeningangel]

Love it love it, the colour's came out stunning, big thumbs up well done love .... Hugs Dede xxx

[@RavenheartImaginarium]

You are very inspiring on the use of texture! I love the use of the drywall tape and I love the chipboard pieces you use and how you make them very unique in the design! Beautiful!

[@melindafox6423]

I absolutely love your work, all of it and I have looked everywhere for half of the chipboard you use on all of your creations and I guess since I live in the boondocks LOL I have a really hard time finding any of it! Thank you so much for sharing this gorgeous creation!

[@create4mind684]

Artist Gabrielle, stunning work! I am simply amazed as to the amount of detail you have put into this project! There are so many layers and objects that you have used, and at one point when you had painted with the Gesso, I never would have thought anything would have come to life and appear to clearly! Magical work! I had just finished watching your "my thoughts" project which was as well incredible! I am so excited to watch all of your videos to enjoy your world of making art come to life! Thank you! ♥

[@DreamzEtCetera]

Gabrielle...you are a creative genius. I absolutely love your work!!!

[@inspiredcaroline24]

Wow, where to begin? Gabrielle, as soon as I saw you had posted this video all my plans came to a halt!! Watching you is like watching magic happen, truly! Your bg is perfect, precise & totally cool. You always use amazing colours (& my favourite combos). The altered chipboard pieces look stunning & how clever with the metallic liquid on key & key hole? Then began the assembling.... Oh My! Again, placement is brilliant & actually the central part made me think of a fabulous steampunk necklace? Hope that makes sense... You can do no wrong, a beautiful, funky, stunning piece of art. Amazing!! Can't list enough words, lol... Tsmfs & inspiring (one day I might achieve a tiny portion of yr talent). Ok, think you get the msg right?? I'll sshh now. Ty. C :))

Greetings Gabrielle, Thanks for demonstrating your creativity. I love the Steampunk theme and you have represented this very well with all the vintage style elements that you have added to your canvas. I also love all the different creative effects that you have applied to each element. Your personally created clay heart is a very cute central addition to your masterpiece. Thanks for sharing your inspirational talents.

Hi Gabrielle, I'm following you on Pinterest and subscribed to your on KZbin, and I've visited the site where they sell your tutorials. I think you're an amazing artist. I love the things you create! I'm pretty new to crafting, and you've given me so many ideas! Then at the same time, looking at your stuff makes me feel like my stuff isn't very good, lol. I would love to have the chance to ask you some questions sometime, if that's possible. If you're too busy, I understand. God bless you and looking forward to seeing what you'll create next! :)
