I am glad I am not the only one that has looked at the dried paint on top of my paint tubes and ended up sticking it on a journal page. I also like trying things just to see what happens and I really enjoy watching your "happy accidents".

I could listen to you all day.. sometimes I do . You’re so soothing and sometimes I need that when I get too into my own head. Reminds me to not think so hard.

Thank you for sharing your talent. Depression has left me in a creative blurr, but I found you ! Your videos are inspiring me to find my place again. I made this collage with several of your texture ideas!

I know this video is years old, but I just came across it today. I have to say, this is the most inspirational video I have ever seen. You give me confidence to try new things. Starting a project is the hardest part for me. I can't have a full completed idea or project in my head, I have to start small and let the art grow as I'm doing it. Thank you so much for this video!!

I watched this in the early hours of the morning then couldn’t go back to sleep as I was dying to go and try these methods so after doing quite a number of them I put the video on again and created more backgrounds with you. I really love your ideas , your are always happy and so informative. Thank you so much you are becoming a favourite to watch each day in our household keep up the wonderful creative ways you share.

Hi it’s great to hear someone explaining exactly what your using, you explain everything you do and use clearly so thank you😊

Your freedom of crafting is SOOOOO inspiring!!! I needed a kickstart- thank you!

I use egg shells for texture as well, it is best to remove the membrane from the shell first before you crush it to prevent bacteria growth and possible smell from developing. I also found during the holidays, dollar stores and craft stores sell styrofoam mini balls. This is an awesome substitute for mini pebbles. Love your videos! This one really helps with reminding us, the viewers/students/fans, how to step out of our heads and create. 💁🏼🤓😘

I love to glue egg shells to rocks,picture frames and small houses the most.

Your enthusiasm is contagious 💞

You are so talented! I can't believe you thought to use the dried paint from the top of the tube! Amazing!

I love all of your tag ideas and textures. The final project is so beautiful and earthy. Love it. Tfs everything ❤. So wonderful

Thanks so much for this. Ive been stuck watching your videos for 3 hours and now i have to have to have to get to bed, but im desperate to go through my recycling bin and pull out everything out.... So much inspiration! Thank you loads. I want to be fearless like you and just go for it. I love that you keep encouraging us to just do it and not worry!

I love this, you take the fear out just using what we have on hand

Wish there was a Noble prize for recycling. You would win it hands down!!! Great work.will try these for sure

Planning to watch all of your videos on my break from nursing school. This was great! So many ideas to try!!!

Im sooooo in love with texture. I really loved this. I found something that I started using for texture, it's actually dryer sheets. Particularly a brand we have here in the US called Seventh Generation. It is the most amazing thing ever. When I discovered how wonderful they are for texture I had to go digging in my laundry rubbish can (just for dryer lint and sheets, lol) and find all the ones that I threw out!! They are all natural, so they are an unbleached piece of paper that is just wonderful with a bumpy texture on it. Anyway, thanks again! I will try most of these, especially the tea bags and the coffee and white paint! So lovely! xoxo Kerrie

I love that you just use things around and make it beautiful . Thank you. And we can see perfect .

Marta, I just purchased your three new Journaling books. Can't wait to get then to try my hand with these. You are the best artist I have ever watched Love, love , love you. Watch y o u everyday. Liz, from Tx

Awwww this is so so so kind, thank you, you made my heart smile 😊 thank you ❤️

I got all my scraps and supplies together last night so I could do this today and I’m having so much fun! You are so inspirational! I used rice with modeling paste on cardboard. Ha. I think I like the coffee and tea the best. I’m waiting for everything to dry so I can color. Thank you for walking me through this. Just amazing!🥰

Fun, fun. I used birdsand, or sand for Kids. Used backing paper, wash it, it wrinkels, and you have nice colours.

In between I used egg shells es a kind of Mosaik.

I'm inspired by watching you use recycling items. You are an awesome mentor.

I have just totally enjoyed your joy of creating and not being intimidated by anything!! I am amazed how left handed your are, but whip out the scissors with the right hand. I liked the eggshell...and if you think painting on egg shell is fun, you should try raising chickens! I have for 25 years. I am sorry, not fair, I live on a ranch in the middle of nowhere. God bless you for your talent and ideas and sharing all with us! Your Sandhills Rancher lady, new friend! I

I loved every one of them. Thank you for taking the time to show us the many beautiful cheap possibilities❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

So many clever ideas. Sesame seeds,so much cheaper than mini stones but the finishing very similar. I am now heading for my kitchen cupboard. Thank you for sharing.

I love that you are using the packing of stuff! I looked at my TH stamps and love the packing they come in, a great base for mix media!

So many new ideas, I must get busy busy. 😃 Thank you for the ideas and see you in the Cafe. ☕️

I have stacks of cardboards and as soon as I see your videos I went straight to it!

I had a WONDERFUL time with you today!!! I am amazed by you, your style AND your personality! Just love the way you present ideas! I have never tried any of this, but found you earlier today, and have been watching all day, so now I think I might try mixed media!!! Thank you very much you fun and dear artist. I love your accent and ever so kind and encouraging way of speaking. God bless you! I will watch many more and hope I can learn. Thank you.

Your video was just the inspiration I needed to experiment without wasting a lot of money on practice projects. I enjoy craft and have most items but there are some essentials I need to buy before I can start. Thank you so much for inspiring me, I love your work

I enjoyed each second of this video. It is a pleasure to hear you sweet voice.Thank you Marta for take the time to teach us!

Maremi your art is simply AWESOME. Thank you for sharing.

Not only Ideas, but she have pretty face, voice and speccially accent ! nobody can use english so clear and beautifull.

You are amazing, girl. Your final piece is superb!

Lovely personality, easy to listen to, and so full of ideas. Enjoy watching her.

I will try this to the box of cards I have to make ATC cards! This will be another first for me. YOu enspire me in so many ways and this is just one more way. You make crafting look so much fun, and it is! You just have to believe in yourself and try some of the things you show us how to do! LOV LOVE LOVE! ❤️❤️❤️

What fun! I enjoyed this time with you VERY much! So relaxing, inspirational and just great fun! I really enjoyed your videos, your talent, humor and love your voice. Thank you! Hugs and blessings! 💖 Andi

I'm not sure I would try the cotton puff, but I still think it's a great idea! You come up with ideas that are 'outside the box'! Great job, as usual, Marta!!! Hugs......

I found this amazing! Beautiful backgrounds created just from stuff that’s around our houses and stuff headed to the trash. So inspired me to try💜

I haven't finished this video yet, if you use it here than just ignore this,but I am a paper mache artist, now learning mixed media. I have used dryer lint which makes a wonderful texture, used on animals for fur. Watching you,I am interested in trying it with mixed media.

Your adorable! So talented. It opens your eyes to new possibilities with everyday objects! Thank you so much for all the inspiration! 🤗

Ok did the egg shells before and it turned out beautifully. I had to make sure I removed the membrane in the shells completely, then put larger pieces on the substrate, cracking each piece and moving the pieces together like a puzzle so there wasn’t a lot of space in between the pieces of shell

This is just full of Love! All the techniques! Hope you frame it!

I use dryer sheets, that I get from my dryer after unloading it. They work great.

Listening to this extremely interesting video as are my pets, who are soothed by your voice. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video lesson. I'm learning a lot and am very inspired!

enjoyed this soooooooo much, thank you. Adorable finished project. So many great texturing ideas. Can't wait to try them.

I loved this video and created my first piece of mixed media art during it. Would share it with you if I knew how. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talents.

I was just drawing while you talk.....love your voice and not so perfect English but soooo charming. And of course learned a few things...

Wow!! You really went "out of the box" finding things that work for "texture"! Thanks so much for this video! Those are all going to be awesome when you put the ink on them!! Wonderful!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this video, working on my own project as she did this. I loved it.

Omg! What a great idea with the sticky paint left in the top of tube!!

In Bali they use eggshell on all their figures and then paint them white they look awesome I brought some sea horses home with it on

That gives me an idea to open up a coffee Kcup after I use it and try those grounds! Might need to dry them first.... Thanks Marta for all these fascinating ideas!

This is BRILLIANT!! I've been waiting for something like this from you!! This has my CREATIVE juices flowing!! You are SO special. Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!!

I just love the amount of texture ideas that you shared with everyone

So nice to see how you used my raised stenciling idea. Pretty!

Marta I think this was the longest video, but I didn't mind cause it was wonderful... Brilliant

I have shared your videos on FB a few times and I have shared them with my daughter also! I can't get enough of your adorable ideas!

Love this video. I hope you do videos finishing all those pages. I love your longer videos.

You are a joy xxx your voice and enthusiasm is infectious... I love what you have done with house hold item's... First time I have seen you and I've subscribed x

I have been collecting and painting different cardboard pieces with metallic paint for months to make some steampunk pieces. The things they have for sale in the craft shops are so expensive! I made pipes out of those drinking straws that have the bending part in them. Just gesso them and paint with metallic paint.

This Is the first time I see someone so creative

That is so cute. 😍 Since it's packaging and has a built in hole at the top, you could hang it off a cute vintage hook on the wall. Super awesome. You are so inspiring. Thank you for showing us!!! 💕

*Je suis époustouflée et émerveillée devant le résultat de tant de simplicité ! WoW 😍😍😍. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Bravo et merci pour ce partage et cette implication pour la récupération. Je suis fan 😍😍😍*

Super! Thank you for hanging out with me while I craft and work!!!

Thanks for sharing! Love the last piece you made.

Love all the mixed media ideas. Thank you. ♥️😃

What great ideas for texture! I'm going to dig around in my recycle bins in the garage tomorrow and see what I can find!

I know you are taking time off to re-fill your tank. Thank you so much for this video's. You are my hero at this moment 💟. Saved all of them

BEAUTIFUL!!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Not feeling too well today, but I just spent a wonderful and delightful hour with you. You shared such good ideas for textures and projects. You have a very creative mind and so much talent. I, also, love how you talk to us like a friend. Thank you very much for sharing yourself and your talents so freely. I had a lot of "great idea!!!" moments. I think my favorites were the tea bags, and the corrugated cardboard with the paint 'splots' and flowers. Also, the sesame seeds blew me away. Excellent, excellent, excellent! TFS

Thanks again Marta for a Wonderful and Delightful video.Hugs

oh wow. all these beautiful new ideas. can't wait to play

Thanks a lot; I watched this before, but it's been a long time and I really enjoyed watching it again.

Love this demo of recycling the package board and other items a lot of folks throw away... thank you for sharing!!

I loved the final project you did with the tea bags! Fabulous. I miss these types of projects from you. Hope you do more soon!

This video is exactly what I Love Love Love about you Marta You think on your feet and try things as you go and you create master pieces. I love using egg shells, have made a few cards with them, made a gorgeous long gown on one of the cards then painted it with metallic sprays. Once again Marta thankyou..

What a great video. So many great ideas !!! Going to try the bubble wrap now ❤️

I know i am commenting on an older video, but ...I'm using packaging cards as the base for my christmas cards/tags this year..and for snow im using old coffee grounds with dry wall compound spakle stuff..then painting and adding glitter.

You are inspiring as always. I love how you use regular items to create such awesome textures. Thank you for all you do to help inspire us all.

Thank you for this video , i needed to go back to the basics.

we all do need this sometimes :)

I used cracked egg shells with alcohol inks to make jewelry. Looks mosaic. Must remove skin attached to shell.

Awesome video. Will try as many of these as I can in my card making. I have been afraid to try some of the mixed media things but not anymore thanks to you.

Definitely going to try this later today. Goodbye art block, you won’t be missed!

Hy, I saw your Chanel , and I am impressed how you make your pieces of art ! New subscriber , kisses from Rome!!!!! You are fantastic , you explain very well. Manuela

wow great ideas!!! never thought of using gesso as the way to stick stuff on!

Love,love,love this video 😄.Such a lot of new texture ideas!... If you use eggshells again you need to wash the eggshells and if possible disinfect,then you remove all the membrane (skin from inside) before using the shell 😊.Loved the longer video too 😄

After cleaning, add the glue then time consuming I know, you have to add them piece by piece. Let them dry...then paint. Then it's not so messy :)

Lynda Pearce. I saw your necklaces on the FB cafe. They are beautiful.You are extremely talented. I also love the texture on the artwork. It's a different look to placing them but so much easier and a great effect.

These ideas are pretty outstanding. One of a kind type ideas. You magically tranform trash to chic treasures, I think you final page is stunning! The color catcher sheets for laundry are pretty. Great suggestion!!! Other ideas: use sand in old spice or seashell pieces crushed in containers to sprinkle on or in gesso or glue, used drier sheets, plastic mesh bags onions come in would be a stencil or bits glued on. Bits of an old bath poof. Old watch parts, wood shavings, melted drips from candles, pieces of tree bark even drier lint. Eggshells are easier to crush with a Mortar & Pestle. Eggshells are great for garden too. Awsome tutorial! You always bring the crafters spirt out in me. I wish I could sit and design with you. You're my favorite journaling u-tuber. TFS!! 💎XO🌹XO💘XO💜XO💎

Amazing..... Yes yes yes, luv the long craft with you videos......Your inspirations are incredible. Thank you for being so wonderful teaching how to make beautiful things Like this. 💕💕

So many ideas! Love your spontaneity, and your ‘just try it!’ spirit. 👏🏻❤️

I loved all of this! You have really given me the courage to try anything in my art. Thank you so much! I've subscribed and will be watching many more of your videos!❤🥰❤

One more thing Marta, I see what you see..and I love it..you truly have a great eye, and your crafts speak volumes !! Thank you for sharing all these great ideas to use..

I loved all of your ideas, and I LOVED how excited you get when you try out new ideas. I can't wait to see what you do with the one with food on it. Now I have to go buy some coffee, tea and dry spices to use in my art, because I don't use any of those normally. I started watching this video yesterday so today, I opened a household item and was about to throw away the packaging, when I thought, "maybe I can use it in art." Then, while making breakfast, I was eyeing my paper towels. Nothing is safe any more!
