You truly define what it means to be an ARTIST!!!! You teach what I assume isn't taught in art schools and should be... message being you don't need to have the expensive 'products' to do amazing work. I love your video and have gained a lot from it!!! It's so basic but creates incredible depth. I usually am able to fast forward thru videos to see the different steps but I found I both needed and wanted to watch your entire video to see and hear your steps and processing which has allowed me to gain a whole new level of understanding and learning (and hopefully now doing)!!! It's awesome to see someone make such a beautiful piece of art without all the expensive art products because they truly are over my budget (and I end up watching many videos but not making anything because I don't have the $ to buy art supplies so I just watch instead of doing) and I think this is better than if one had and would have used all those 'art products' because they "change" everything and create a completely different image. As the saying goes "sometimes less is more" or "sometimes you can do more with less" (and it's a lot less overwhelming). So..... THANK YOU!!!!!

I have been following your videos for a while now and have learned so much from them. But what I have come to appreciate the most about you is your positive, loving and encouraging nature. There is no doubt you have been gifted with an artistic talent and you are so generously sharing it with us but the genuine love you have makes it all the more pleasurable to be a part of as you create your beautiful art. Thanks Maremi.

SO beautiful!

Absolutely stunning, Marta! Of course, purple is always stunning, but what you've done with it here .... Wow! I so much appreciate you exploring art with non-traditional materials and supplies. What a wonderful gift that is for those who can't afford all the 'good stuff', as you put it. ~ Elizabeth

Thank you for being here on earth, and have time to give us the opportunity to learn and play with you. Your voice is kind and nice to listening to. LOVE YOUR CREATIVITY BRAIN Love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

if you put the masking tape uneven an not flat,more raised it adds a lot of texture! great video!

I was totally resistant to get involve with art journaling, I really just started watching the mixed media altered projects......20 videos later I’m looking at journal covers and love doing them, then I did the packaging projects. Now I’ve got a list, the envelope journal is one of my absolute favorites, turning an old book into a journal.....anyway, I’m addicted to your channel.😍❤️💋

Hi Marta, I mentioned a week or so ago that I had been binge watching your videos and loving them. I also mentioned how I'd made my first piece and it was horrid. Thing is, I was going through my old art and actually, I was wrong, I had made several mixed media pieces just from scraps of art that I had done and some were quite nice and made me say "ooooo pretty". As for the hideous piece, I went back and adjusted and even though it is not WOW, it is "okay" - meh. You win some, you lose some. I began working on a colorful piece but could not wrap my head around what Id do with it. I teach Psychology in University and one of the things I teach on is sleep and how, during that first 15 minutes of sleep, comes a ton of creativity and in fact, Salvador Dali used this method to break out of creative slumps. So, I went to bed, not with this method on my mind, BUT, when I began to doze, it just came to me and I was so excited, I had to get up and get started! Anyway, I just want you to know how inspiring you are, how much I am loving your videos AND your voice is possibly the most soothing voice i have ever heard! I am also enjoying following you on Insta!

Great use of everyday items that would otherwise have gone to the bin. Fantastic idea on recycling. Love it. Thank you for sharing.

I have been avoiding a mixed media project for ages and you've really given me some bravery. I didn't have gesso, I didn't like the way that the homemade stuff turned out, so I just used some lightweight spackle (the stuff to fill holes and cracks) mixed with some acrylic paint and it seems to be working so far! Thanks again for these videos!

Smart!!!

Thank You for showing us what we can do with minimal supplies. It's so easy to get stuck in our thoughts that we need to buy this or that in order to create. Your art is beautiful!

I was really blown away by these pages. I would never have thought you could do something so beautiful with basically just scraps.

I don't know what it is about your voice, but it is so relaxing to listen to you talk. You are so sweet, positive, & encouraging. Your videos make me happy & I could listen to your accent all day long. Thank you for sharing your talent, experience, & expertise.

Hi Marta. I watch any video I can find of yours, as I love your beautiful work. I have created my page today for my mum. My mum has been sharing with me over many years her magical creativity, and my mum passed away just over 2 years ago and it is her birthday today. So thank you Marta to help me to create. xx

💝💝Love, hugs, positive creative energy back to you. Your art is amazing. 💝💝

Wow, what a lovely idea to use everything you find in the house!

What a great talent you have,you can take anything and make art,you are such an inspiration,thank you for your generous spirit sharing your talent with everyone ,God Bless!!

I love all of your work, but I LOVE these recycled pages the most! They seem more fun! You have inspired me to create my own! Thank you for sharing!--Leslie

Thank you so very much, Marta! I've been struggling over how I could afford 2 buy art accessories when it can be too expensive. I live in the U.S. & I'm disabled, so I don't have much money. But, you are always looking out 4 those who can't buy all they want. You're so precious to me. God bless! ♡♡♡

Love this! What a great option for people who cannot afford all the expensive art supplies! Thank you for sharing!

These pages turned out so stunning and beautiful. Love the purple color. Thanks for sharing your techniques!

Awesome way for those of us who are on a budget to do art! Love all your art work!

It's so beautiful. You always amaze me. Thanks for showing us your art.😁💙💚💛

I have really bad anxiety but watching and listening to you really calms me down. I love this page you are doing and the one from before. They are so beautiful and I am playing in my art journal though not doing the same thing you are. It just feels peaceful to me. And I need peace because I lost my husband in December 2016. Thanks you for what you do!

It's kind u show things everyone can make.

LOVE this, and love,love,love, the Purple tones. You do amazing work.

Love your upcycling art Marta! Such a special wonderful style! So nice of you to share with us! ♥ ♥ ♥

Maremi, I I’m sure glad I found you. I got into crafting last year and love it, I love buying new tools and materials etc. anyway, there’s only so much space to house mason jars and wreaths etc. so what a wonderful way to get my arts and crafts on than in a journal! I love working w paper and gesso and inks etc. but here’s the thing, if I hadn’t really heard yiu when yiu emphasize not to get stuck in making it perfect or like some else’s, I’d still be tearing the house apart looking for eye droppers so I can use it like yiu do. I actually caught myself and stopped. Still created, without the eye dropper and the world didn’t end. I also used string and tissue paper which I would have never thought of. So I’ve started my first art journal today and I have you to thank👍🙃🎼

OH my, You have some talent! Thank You so much for sharing; I love it!

This is beautiful...thank you for reminding us that "art" is everywhere!! Just beautiful!!

Chris Harman has voiced exactly how I feel. With every video that I watch I feel my confidence growing and it is because you exude positive vibes. Thank you so much for yet another powerful video

Marta thanks for inspiring me to create! I so love watching you make beautiful art from nothing and everything! Hugs Kim

I did your first 'no art supplies' page and I loved it. I'm so going to do this one as well! It is SO beautiful. Thank you!

Love this page and the eyeshadow art tool idea, you are wonderfully amazing. Keep smiling. 💕😊👍🏻🎨❤️😊

once again, so inspirational! Your videos make me want to drop everything and just create all day!!!

You're such a great artist and teacher! Thanks so much for your positive energy and for sharing your talents!

Love love love it! Another very inspirational project. Love watching your tutorials as they're done in real time, not sped up. Thank you so much Marta xxx

Absolutely stunning piece of artwork. Thank you so much for the inspiration. I have so many unused eye shadows that I will now make good use of thanks to you! Creative hugs, Donna xx

Beautiful page. Love the colours and textures. Thank you for sharing. 😀

once again just gorgeous! I absolutely love love love that you're using makeup and everyday items! thank you for this inspirational video. Marta you're such a wonderful artist thank you for all the lovely thoughts and words. watching your videos makes me feel happy 😆

It's beautiful! I love your color likes because they're my type too but sometimes I go in a different direction. I love your show and your personality and you're very humble which is such a good thing!! God Bless!

I'm off to my art shed! I needed a little inspiration this morning and here it is!

I must say, I find your accent so lovely And your creativity's so inspiring!! Best art channel for me!

Wonderful page. I'm almost tempted to go buy some eye shadow at the dollar store just do I can do this. Thank you for sharing.

Once again,...fantastic video. It came out beautiful. I love, love, love it!! Haha! I think we get to think its about having the right supplies. But, it about the ART!! thank you for teaching us. Austin, TX USA

I love your videos & slowly I've been watching more & more of them. This had me intrigued when you added the thread. Before you added the circles it looked like an abstract painting of buildings & alley ways. It has been fun to watch your process. I don't have makeup but I have lots of art supplies & you have given me so many ideas that my head is spinning! Thank you so much for sharing.

I too have learnt more than you can imagine. I am new to 'altered art' but because I have so many paint, inks, pastels etc I could not avoid it plus it is a lot of fun! Thank you for your great videos and generosity of knowledge. I just love your work and your lovely personality

If you don't have a spatula or art knife, you can use an old credit card and just cut it into the width that is most comfortable for you. It has the same bounce as an art knife and almost everyone has an out-of-date card in their wallet.

love seeing everyday products reutilised. ♥♥♥

You have inspired me this morning!! what a beautiful spread. Thank you so much!

Love this idea! You have got me looking all over the house for things to add to my art work. So much fun. I want to have a craft night and have my daughter and granddaughter. That would be so much fun! Blessings.

so beautiful and inspriring...your videos encouraged me to alter my art journal cover and i never would have thought about it if not for your encouragement!! xo d from Texas

Love, Love, Love it ...... I really hope you you will do more of these no art pages in the future xx

Another amazing video! I can't thank you enough for sharing your work with us! You're such an inspiration!

'Love Love Love' your videos. You inspire me. Thank you. 'Love Love Love' your accent. From NZ

I love this!! Really awesome Art from every day items! I really need to start saving my clothing tags because I adore that look!!!! Thanks for sharing your wonderful rt with us!

This is lovely and I’m enjoying this series you did! It reminds me of junk journaling where you take bits and bobs of scrappy things that are all economical and create an art page out of it! I just both art and junk journaling, so relaxing and I like using the images and colors to tell or journal how I’m feeling 😊

I just love watching you create these pages. You are so encouraging and give us license to just try things. I've made a few that are just awful, and then, a few that I really liked. I think I'm getting better at looking at a blank page and not 'thinking' too much. As always...TFS.

magnificent !! I adore !!!! with these 2 videos with non-art products you open me full horizon, it's brilliant !! but why cannot I realize that at once !! I have a full of things to sew before November the 4th and I am very late !!!!

Very creative Marta! I love watching your videos, they are so inspirational. xx

I love it. i love the purple and the circles. You have such an eye for composition! In the beginning I watch and wonder What is she going to do with that? And then about 15 or 20 minutes later you have created something absolutely magnificent! I love this one so much.

Hello, you have definitely inspired me. I will make sure to mention you in the future. TFS ... It's Amazing! You are a wonderful artist. Thanks for the encouragement!!!

Wonderful page Marta!! Love the purple, blue and black and the texture! :) It's been grey and dark here for several days.... Makes me sleepy lol. Artsy hugs!

This is brilliant loving the artwork you've achieved with the bits n pieces you have used. Fab-u-lous! Just love it and your chitchat. Thank you Marta for sharing all your ideas. I think I might have seen all your videos now. I might just start watching them again hehe! xxxxx

Love the purple,, really pretty!

I have gone to dollar tree store here in the states and bought eye shadows made by LA colors with mica as the first ingredient and made my own homemade water colors that are like pearl ex or twinkling h2o's by adding mod podge for a acrylic paint ( must use as you mix there's no saving, gives enough time to work with right away but it drys in 15 min or so. if you mix with gum Arabic it makes like cakes water color type to put in small containers, to have on hand. all cheap homade art supplies. made my own gesso and mod podge. many recipe for these on u tube. Also made my own modeling paste from spackle you get at any hardware store. . so used all my art supplies I followed along with you. even use same eye shadows to make spray color by adding to 99% alcohol to mini spray bottle, also use dry in container as purchased for $1.00 each. made 4 5 ways to use these. They do have a sparkle and shimmer. haven't added to my modeling paste or gel mediums yet to try. Hope this gives new ideas for these projects. hugs!

The title should be Priceless!Thanks for your sharing and teaching!Love it,love it...

Love to see others use non art supplies.. great page!!

Oh My Goodness Marta!!! You NEVER Disappoint! I’m running out to TJMax & getting some Eye Shadow!!👁🥰🙌🙌❤️🥰😊💋

I absolutely adore your pages Marta ❤️

Love love love your artistic diversity. You have such a gift and your videos are inspiring and encouraging.

Dear Martha. Thank you so much for sharing this video. You bring my creativity out with your inspiration.

THIS IS SOOO LOVELY! Will try that for sure - your designs are so amazing... thanks for sharing!

As usual, you totally killed it!! This is awesome. I have always wondered how you get those circles to look like orbs or floating circles and I now know. Thanks again.

That a really tuto, with the complete explication. Thank you so much. I love it ! Your art journal is beautiful.

Great job Marta! I love the blue and purple together!

I wish you would have had a stamp, a luggage tag and a piece of old map showing. It would, together with everything else, tell a story of travelling. But what you did is very cool because it's so impromptu! 👍

love these videos alot! i have very limited supplies so I enjoy seeing what you can do.

Wow! that's what we call a "slam dunk"! I love the colors and boy oh boy... you are the texture guru. :) I saved your video for the evening when everyone else was asleep... like I get to have a nice chat with you, just hanging out creating. Sometimes I use hair spray as a fixative when I'm out of my real stuff...it works great (goes with your theme of no fancy-shhhmancy artsy stuff.) I love to use the pallet knife also, to make mountains, peaks and valleys. When the color touches it, or is magical! I love when you say, " Do you see what I see?" :) It reminds me of my favorite Christmas song by Bing Crosby, "Do you hear what I hear?" It is always such a joy to spend the evening watching you in your element, to hear your thought process, and man! Do I get inspired! Every time, no matter what your subject is, I just ADORE your creations. I know how time consuming all this creating, editing, posting, follow up is and I appreciate your time and sweet spirit. As usual, I'm sending you blessings from the great Pacific Northwest, Lakewood, Washington!

I do see what you see and I love it. this has inspired me to look at everything differently. I am in the process of fussing cutting some of my papers so that I have some emphera to use in this project. I even went to the dollar store and bought some cheap makeups so I can try this. thanks for all the inspiration Marta!

No wonder how come and your name contains the word mARTa in it. You are extra talented and an awesome teacher! Honestly i am so glad to find you! Tyfs!

What a great way to start Monday. Wonderful as always!!!

I absolutely love your videos! You've inspired my own art greatly and inspired me to create my own junk journal ^ ^

You could use beets juice or avocado dyed or food coloring . Koolaid is another good household product that most moms have aro< d for the children. Mio is also something that colors very good. Be careful when using it a little goes a long way !! Ask me how I know !! Lol

always ready for your new, and repeated videos Marta. thank you.

You are so talented. God bless. Thank you for helping us, who are limited financially 🌹❤️

Just what I needed! I am going to clean out my office and use all the things I already have!!

Purples and blues are some of my favorite colors. I am practising.

Absolutely amazing art, you're truly truly inspirational xx

That is a beautiful page... and I really enjoyed your video. 😃 Creative hugs for you too.😉

Fun to see how you did your bubbles!! Never had makeup but I do have paint ❤️

I so enjoy your videos and listening to you explain the process and your thoughts! It is awesome that you share your time with techniques for everyone's budget. I am loving this journal page and the colors are wonderful. Hope all is well for you - sending warm hugs. Kathy

🙌🏼. Thank you for sharing and for the beautiful inspiration!!!

I love it also. Will try only with what I have. Your piece is absolutely wonderful! Thank you for your beauty and your creative ideas.

I have just finished watching both of your wonderfully inspirational videos on your 'no art products used' journal pages. I never even thought about using eye make up and because I could never afford the propper blending chalks, but I will be using eye make up from now on... Now all I am missing is the Gesso, I think I may have some white acrylic though. I will have to raid my art draw to find some. Thank you for bringing me back to the world of art journaling as I had lost interest before from other not very well explained videos, I had a go at art journaling along with those ones and my pages kept going a bit wrong. I will enjoy watching and creating along with your tutorials over and over again, I just know that my confidence will fly once I get my first page down. Thank you : )

Tracy Gould There are many DIY gesso videos on KZread and perhaps you have all the ingredients at home. I made mine a couple of days ago and works great using only baby powder, water and glue. Actually What I made was clear gesso, if you prefer heavy gesso, you can add white acrylic paint.

Absolutely loved this project, and absolutely love following all of your videos!! xx

you are so great and I so love your teaching from scratch it's great ,great ,great

my sister blessed me with her cosmetic changes castoffs and it's so cool beans to follow along with tools I did not think of using til you gave the ok...

This is absolutely awesome. Using what you already have at home is such anawesomIe idea. love, love, love it!!! You are so very creative !!! I just posted on the FB group my gift to one of my great grandsons using a mailer envelope for a canvas. My other great grand children are coming tomorrow and we are making gifts for their mom and dad using this method and another of your methods Except we are using another mailer box instead of a reverse canvas. Pics to follow on the group whe`finished. They are both so excited to come over

I loved this! I wish I had watched it BEFORE burning a hole in my Amazon credit card! LOL Just goes to show you that "art products" are all around us. Thank you!
