Norah McPhee Hi Norah, thanks so much for your encouragement. It's so much easier to be brave with new things when the whole world isn't watching, lol Loved doing this so I'm sure there will be more to come. Patti

I really like how you designed this page with those wacky, loveable, crazy birds! Thanks for making of this video of your process. Now, I need to get my crazy birds out, along with my brick stencil, so I can finish making a few remaining valentines. Again, Thanks!

[@carolmelancon]

Love your page! I'm just getting into art journaling and found your video very inspiring.

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Carol Melancon Thanks Carol, I just want to say if I can do it anyone can and it's super don't you think. I loved playing with these wacky birds for my first page!

[@RhondaMiller]

I love your page.

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Rhonda Miller Thanks so much Rhonda, it's scary and fun stepping outside your comfort zone, but I just loved these wacky birds so much I had to do it. Patti

[@4everminky]

so lovely, thanks for sharing

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Thank you so much Minky. I've got to get busy and do some more pages

[@patriciakopcik1094]

Thank you so much! Loved it

[@1busybetty]

Fantastic!

[@pknudsen9293]

I love these crazy birds! Great job on your first journal page! You are very talented! I wish I was brave enough to attempt mixed media art work. ;)

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

+Piroska Knudsen You need to just jump in and do it. Start with a simple idea and just go from there. You can get by with a minimal amount of supplies and it's such a fun process.The main thing though is to just have fun and don't stress.

[@pknudsen9293]

Thank you for the encouragement. I'll try to take your advice.

[@Pherine1]

Loved this Patti, I may show mine one day :)

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

+Pherine1 Well Christine you need to at least email me a picture of it, I bet it's great. Fun to do aren't they?

[@Sheila6006]

Very cute

[@tinaodriscoll4044]

Great job

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

tina odriscoll Thank you Tina, these are such funky fun stamps to play with, Patti

[@CydPiper]

Very Kewl page. I have the set and need to work them and learning the process of materials. Looks like you printed out your quote and applied the Matte Medium over them but the ink didn't run? do you use a special printing process so this doesn't happen? What font did you use for the quote? TYFS x

[@jennibrown750]

What are those dobbers that you are using...love them!

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Jennifer Brown Hi Jennifer, they are home made daubers using the tops from plastic drink bottles and the larger foam cosmetic sponges. Easy to make, cheap and you just toss them when they have served their purpose. Patti

[@Hannashome]

Love this

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Hanna Haspe Thanks Hanna, I've got to do another page real soon! Maybe more birds when I get their accessory stamps. Patti

[@Hannashome]

nwlady1949 Oh, they are so funny. Can´t wait to get them.

[@jeanieferretti4203]

Love your first journal page Patti! I have been eyeing those birds sense they came out. Do you know if I am able to use a coupon from CutAtHome to purchase that stamp? Thanks for sharing :-)

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Jeanie Gregory Hi Jeanie, I'm sure you can use a coupon on the stamps. So glad you liked the journal page, and have fun with those wacky birds. Patti

[@scout0598]

I love your page. I have a ?. Do you apply color to the modeling paste while it's still wet or do you wait until it's dry?

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Scout05 Thanks so much for watching and I put the pearls on when it was dry. I was afraid it would glob too much if it was wet. Patti

[@karend9720]

You did a great job for it being your first...wish my first page would have turned out so well. 2 comments: 1-I might have made it a double page so when opened they are competing against each other; 2-did you let the paste dry prior to putting on the perfect pearls?

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Karen Schaible-DeGrazia Hi Karen, thanks for the nice complements on my page. You're right I should have done a two page spread or at least done the background, it's will be a puzzle to figure out as I go forward. The paste dries super fast, if not fast enough for you hit it with the heat gun first and yes then put the Perfect Pearls on. Patti

[@lani3277]

are these the mini birds or the larger ones?

[@CindyandMoore]

i see a lot of these videos and they all start with gesso. why?

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

+FrannieFrugal It creates a great base or primer for the page not only does it add strength but helps prevent the paints, inks whatever else is layered from seeping through the page to the backside. Thanks for watching.

[@mpbailey18]

A tad bit slower would have been nice when coloring the birds!

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Marilyn Bailey Hi Marilyn, if you watch this video on my personal channel, nwlady1949, you can hit the cog wheel in the lower right hand side and slow the speed down. I try to get it within time constraints. Patti
