That universal 90s doona stars moons and sun pattern fabric in the background...I seek it out everywhere💙💚💛
MOLLY!!! So glad to see your gorgeous face here on KZread again! The timing for this video couldn't be more perfect/synchronistic! I've been planning on re-painting a Hekate statue to add my own personal touch to it and had NO idea how to go about doing so! The thought never occurred to me to prime it, I'm so glad that I know now before even starting the creative process! I'm so relieved! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom, it's so deeply appreciated! You are truly a huge inspiration! Thanks for posting! Brightest blessings! 💜💜💜
And another trick for the sticky pages, is to scrub an old candle on the page when everything is dry. Work fabulously 👌🏼👌🏼
MOLLY! Everytime I feel I can’t take One more moment I think of you saying I’m a goddamn unicorn! Lol My all time fav.......I love you
Molly, you look amazing. I love your hair. Thank you for all of the tips. So glad to see you on YT again. We have missed you.
Could you PLEASE do a video on how to start a grimoire page and the process of it! PLEASE!
Yay! It's Molly!!!
Thank you , Molly, for all these wonderful tips and ideas. I love putting all kinds of things in my Grimoire and they only need to be beautiful for me. Love your hair, BTW. Witch on! 🧙♀️

Absolutely! Making things you find beautiful and magickal is 100% the idea! Lots of folks have asked for composition resources, so I wanted to make it available for anyone who may be interested. Intuitive work is beautiful! ❤💫
Glad you mentioned stencils. I’m a big fan of the baby gelli plates.
I HAVE MISSED THIS!! 🥰
It’s always a treat when you post a video to your KZread channel! I hope you have a blessed day
thank you so much for the tips! i can attest the baby powder on sticky pages works ive definitely done that before, folks don't be like me though and use waaaaay too much the first time 😂 love you molly from one art witch to another 🧡🤠
Your hair is amazing! Loving the gradient. I totally support the workable fixative solution. I do this with my art books and it also helps mitigate my nicer color pencils from smearing. I painted one statue for my altar and you are right. Never underestimate the power of layering your paint. I will say if you go with the hairdryer approach to dry it, be careful how close you bring it to the paint. The colors can change slightly due to the heat of the dryer. Depending on the pain it may not give you a look you like in the end. Love the layering tips. They are so easy and yet we tend to not think about them. This was an awesome video! Love how inspiring and encouraging you are!
Thank you, I have missed your videos! 🙂
Loving your hair
This was super helpful!! Thank you for your wisdom :)
I use water paints as I haven't transformed to other sorts of paints yet. But may be one day but I feel more comfortable with the water paints. I learnt alot from watching your past videos instead of using old books I bought a sketch book and that is my magical journal. I just recently bought some tracing paper and I have been tracing something on to the paper then glue it into my journal. Mind you I am on my third Sketch book. I like to try different ideas. And thank you for this very informative video and you suit that hair color. Stay safe and Blessed be.

In my experience, waterpaints are very hard to work with, I think because you adjust color and consistency using water. So basically it is more of an art form as you are creating the paint you use.
Molly, your videos are always so inspiring!! Thank you for being such a bright shiny spot on these crazy interwebs! Witch on!
I got so excited when I saw you had a new video up! I love watching you! Your smile and energy just radiate so brightly! Thank you for sharing your creativity with the world!
Molly, your videos brighten and bring so much joy and energy into my day!! No matter what has happened in my day you just make my day. Thank you so much. Witch on!
This video was really useful! There are a lot of things about the art world that isn't outright stated so it's really troublesome for the self taught folks to understand why things work the way they do.
You can get acrylic sealant to stop the sick page thing if you are using glossy acrylic paints. I find that if you use a Matte mod podge, it kind of seals itself!
Great ideas as always molly!!
aww merry meet again dear sister, gosh i missed you, hope you can make more frequent vidis, me and my man were just talking about you three days ago and said wondering where the girl with the soothing voice went to? my hubby didnt know your name, i told him, "you mean molly?" he said yeah!! he said your voice is so soothing that it helps his mind to be still. these are such great tips, bcuz i experience all this frustrating journaling, and bless my hubby's heart, he tries to help me and we both get all stickie up and neither one of us knows how to remedy that, until now! thank you kitten
Thank you!!! I.missed this gorgeous face. Love you Molly
I love and miss your beautiful face! I purchased a junk journal for my family memories and I had to learn fast because using super glue in the journal? No go, stuck pages big time! Thank you for this love!!
Very happy to have found you Molly, am re-writing mine in a smaller format of A5 due to arthritis and also re-thinking the things, recipes etc. that go in it since old lady here 62. Is there a recent video of your books collection? Thanks for reading this.
SHEESH I LOVE UR FRICKING ENERGY MOLLY
Do you have books that inspire your creativity? Not just art, but all books ❤. Always looking forward to your videos ❤ thank you
Thank you for this video!! 💗💗🧸
I love this video so much! Thank you molly ❤️
I've heard of using wax to keep pages from sticking together...that may be an option somebody resonates with 🙂 The waxy coating and feel...also the look it gives may just be what somebody's looking for...just rub a candle or chunk of wax of your choice over the art piece as thick or thin as you'd like and stickiness is gone 💫
Thank you so much for this video and and then printable! It’s so generous and I can’t wait to use it!
Thank you so much for the tips💚 your videos always inspire me and make me feel uplifted
Lovely to see you Molly, and really good to hear your lively voice 💜
I’m so glad you’re uploading!

Hey, I would love to put in some flowers and plants that I find outside in my grimoire. Do you have any tips on how to press and handle flowers? I've seen some use washi tejp and others use glue etc. Thanks for a good video. 💖
Missed you! I have issues living in humid Florida. I have just not used mod podge because of that. I appreciate your tips.
Our WITCHY community IS COMPLETE!!!! THANK YOU MS MOLLY!!! for your dedication and commitment to our community and specialized content of ART MAGIK!!!! This video is WORTH MILLIONS!!!! I am not an artist at all but I attempt at creativity and I can say your assistance has helped me to untangle my hands from spider webbing themselves in glue 😉 So I am so grateful....and I think you just answered my main question....I was modpoding a printo on a piece of sanded wood and Ive done it b4 but this last one just crinkled up idky but I think what you said about my adhesive being a high water content may have been my oops....so I will retry...never giving up on my nursery school sketches THANK YOU MS MOLLY 🍎🎶🎨📚
Wax paper is a good way to keep them from sticking just decorate it with markers
To get rid of the stickiness of the pages with a very simple and very pleasant smell. USE A BABY POWDER or best use a NUDE POWDER or TRANSLUCENT POWDER it works like magic!
Molly! I have been following for years and I am so glad to FINALLY know what Gesso it! LOL Would it or the spray paint be a good option to prevent bleed though? I have beautiful grimoire but the pages are so thin and anything and everything bleeds through on to the page behind it. I've used those bleed throughs in pages if they have similar information, but its not always possible :P
❤👍Bestest.
Hi Molly, It came to my mind a video where you read two halloween kids' books. I've been trying so badly to remember the name of those books but I can't, and I really want to find one of them, because I loved when you read for us. I've noticed that the video I mentioned is no longer on your channel. PLEASE, help me!
Hi Molly, great video! I can’t find “mixed media witch” KZread channel. Can you please provide the link? Thanks :)
