To the people asking why: BECAUSE! It's art. It's memory making. It's expanding your creative experience. It's time to think outside your box. It's exploring your horizons. It's getting you out of a rut. (Shall I go on?) 😉

I love the aesthetic quality of these designs so much! They would make great rubber stamps. And we do things like this because we can. It's the essence of creativity.

You are a true artist Louise, people who aren’t as artistic don’t get it. I use crazy things all the time and end up love it more than traditional things. Really loving this series.

You forgot one, Luise. How to make your friends all over the world laugh. 😁😁

Luise, you shine! This process is messy and so very worth it. Never compromise your art for the opinion of others. If I never try this stamping with found objects I am enriched by witnesssing your joy while producing it

As always, PERFECTION! (I can use that word as an avid consumer of your products and videos for many years!) I’m gobsmacked that you’re able to continue to create fabulous content amidst a life-changing move plus all the extra annoyances that’s come with the renovation. You genius woman!! Sending lots of love and positive vibes from the US. 😍

So many ideas, so many lessons! Dearest Luise, you have inspired me! I am also moving. I'm going to make a moving journal! During the move, I will have very little access to crafting materials for about 6 months. You have shown me how to survive this! I can find so many items to create, stamp, glue and add to my new journal! Not everyone can see what you see. Keep exploring, trying new things and sharing with us. Hugs from the Pacific Northwest, USA. ❤🤗

Aww, thanks for the sweet words and all the best - including strong nerves - for your move!! Don't be as stupid as I am, grab a few essential things, put them into an extra box so that you can always find them and then make your own move journal! I'm sure you'll find weird and interesting things as well!

You are amazing, Luise, and I think it is wonderful that you are showing what gorgeous and organic creations can be made with simple found objects! Takes ‘use what you have’ to a whole new level and is planet- conscious as well 👏🥰

I find this sort of Art much more stimulating than purchased items we all use. I feel this takes a different thought process and is more enjoyable to use found objects. To me, this is what "junk journaling" is all about. Love your work Luise😃tfs♥️

This is so very creative and thinking outside the box! Its not weird at all. 8n fact, I think it shows those who can't afford stamps, how to be innovative with things around the house and yard! 😊❤

I am understanding and enjoying this. I don’t have much money or experience with junk journal. You are helping me to create by using what I can find and make my brain become more creative. Thank you. When I am able to buy more inks and “crafting tools” I will but you’ve shown me that I can REALLY use my brain and what I have. I feel included in this junk journal world.❤❤

There doesn’t have to be some special reason for making such stuff. It would be fun just playing with “junk” just to see what shapes could be made. Your creations are amazing! What a fun way to play. Now, I will see objects differently now. Thanks, our clever and creative junk journaling artist!

The reason I especially enjoyed this video is because I was given a medicine in my early adult life that did a bad thing to the nerves in my arms. I have tremors. If I am setting still gazing out on the world my arms are mostly still. When I intend to do something with fine motor skills, my arms jerk uncontrollably, then are still then jerk some more. Painting things with "junk" seems to be right up my alley. Junk makes its own weird shapes so maybe my jerks and jitters wouldn't hang out like a red button on navy blue fabric. Thanks for being bold and using your ideas on video!!

I love how you show that you don’t need fancy products to make art!

Expression of art doesn’t need any special event or expressing art in any event or situation is “ an art” only artistic mind can endure! You go girl the way you want to go! Rerouting the traditional path is someone’s choice to be happy. ❤ I am waiting to see your renovated house if you give us a tour. Can’t wait!!!!!

Louise you are one of the artsiest people I know here in our KZread Junk Journaling Community … not everyone has to get your self expression on every project, we all express our creativity in our own way. I would like to think that most people questioning your concept are new to mix media and just trying to wrap her head around the why. This video is a great example of true junk journaling/art journaling, using actual junk and found items. We all have our own version of what a junk journal is and have different ways of using them. This makes me want to head to my own art room and experiment with my supplies.

Girrrrrrl i’m always in my art room❣️ busy today finishing up three apothecary‘s garden journals to have ready for our art walk tomorrow. I’m taking a mini break from making videos after completing the 100mday project … but every day is an art room day. I too have been a mix media artist for decades, but just have a special interest in junk journaling right now and I do that over on the eclectic cottage channel. Happy weekend, my artsy friend.

Luise I think that this has been my favourite series and journal yet. I love that it is following your journey and is using real found artefacts. I think it shows a real connection to your heart through your Art and is forcing you to be even more creative and inventive because you truly have limited supplies. If you go back to the apartment before the renovation is finished look for things like tile spacers, or plaster tape, I would LOVE to see these florals as a digital.

I love how you use ordinary objects for your art. It inspires me to look for more things I can use.

Hi Luise, I think these artwork samples made out of found fodder from your new apartment are perfect for your journal to remember this move. You are gonna see these things one day, and a memory of that time is going to pop into your mind. It's a great way to remember this move. Thanks for bringing us along your journey! TFS 😊

Thanks for sharing this proces. I think it is much more fun stamping with random things or things that are not meant to be used as stamps. Surely adds memories to the journal. And I love how you use this findings !!

I find that you are one of the most wildly creative people I have ever watched. You have a child-like wonder of discovering new things. I love what you do. I am much more left-brained and struggle to get creativity past that ingrained rigidity. I like the fact that you are always trying new things, just to see what happens. I think that washing your journal was one of the first videos that I watched -- and I'm still here;-)

Luise, you hilarious. Thank you for being you. You still amaze me with your junk journal videos. I have learned so much from you. Thank you.

Everybody isn't going to get what you are doing. To me, that black and white picture turned out really interesting. I liked that the images looked like abstract flowers. And the 2nd one looked like a landscape with mountains and small houses with tall trees in the foreground. Some people can be closed minded and just can't see your vision. That's ok if others do not "get it". I enjoy watching you create and bring out new and different ideas to add to my creativity. Also, I think that using twine of varied thickness, dipped in paint and pulled across your page, would make for an interesting image. Keep being an inspiration to exploring new ideas and creative discoveries. You are an inspiration. Keep sharing with us your vision and good luck with your move to the new apartment. ❤

I love your brain. The thought of keeping so many items from your Reno’s is amazing. Even more amazing is that you can create such incredible abstract flowers from said junk is even more amazing! Beautiful work as always. 🤗🇨🇦🤗

Great, I've been looking for instructions on how to get the whole room messy. No, wait a minute, I've already mastered that.😂

I love this video! Using found objects is fantastic, especially if your budget doesn’t allow for shopping. This is so organic and will be a one of a kind. Can’t get any better than that! Your content is always spot on! Keep up the good work. You inspire so many!

LUISE, YOU ARE SOOOO CREATIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! **** YES, LIKEN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS COOL & NOT WEIRD, LUISE.**YOU PUT A SMILE ON MY FACE!!!!!! **** I'M ONE OF THOSE WHO, LIKES FUSSY CUTTING!!! Do take care. Fl. USA

0:17 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤ welcome to my world! Great intro!!! This is not weird, or strange. This is a perfect example of making art from every day life. You are creating some beautiful memories out of the found objects from your new apartment. Not to mention, sharing that with your followers! Your composition and choice of balance is very skilled. ❤

Making and keeping memories is what life is all about. Thank You for your fun and inspiring videos 👍🙂

I love how you think outside of the box to create such amazing art!

I love this process. Not only because they are your memories that you are making and graciously sharing with us, but it also shows that’s you don’t need all the “crafting” tools to create something. Use what you have available. I love your creativity and that you are genuinely you. That’s what keeps bringing me back to your channel. And yes, I was hoping you would do a printable! Haha!

Thank you so much for your sweet words

Holy guacamole! Those florals are stunning! Love how you see possibilities in everything.

I hit like at 1.5 minutes!!! Love your painted botanicals, and your "precise" fussy cutting! I saw poppy seed pods, lady bugs, faces, etc, as you stamped out your flowers ❤ Great work!

Oh dear Louisa, discovered objects botanicals. You have discovered new species of plants, lol. I'm in awe as usual. Also I see that we are limited in playing just by our imaginations. It's time to play and not be so serious about "stuff." The joy you express from your discoveries is ... oh wow, I have no more words. Sending greetings from New Zealand xx

Luise, I love your work, you never have to explain it to me, I certainly, love different things. This a true journal journal, made from things you found in your apartment, BRAVO!, big hugs to a beatiful friend.

Much like the splatter stamps, these prints look like sumi-e painting. Very zen. With screw heads and bolts and dots your design evolves into something rather Bohemian. Or contemporary Folk art. Many of us love this kind of irregular stamping. Perhaps you can have these designs made into rubber stamps. Immortalize your painted thumb and pointer finger with bolt in a rubber stamp. You turned 43 this year: a magical age and Mr Rogers favorite number. It means "Love You." I'll let you figure out the math. Love your art. Especially your architectual constructions. As I'm writing this, you are talking about having digital prints. I'm a little behind in computer possibilities. Thought I'd mention that as you and I are on the same plane when it comes to coincidences.

I’ve been using odd, found objects in art for years. Nothing strange about using these items in my eyes. I like the plant like outcome of using the strapping material. I didn’t have any handy but grabbed a piece of elastic and played away. Love the result. I think it’s cool for you to use this found objects from your new apartment and make this journal. What a keepsake! These found objects are also great to use while gelli printing.

I think the difference between using your objects to make this abstract art is the story/meaning behind the objects, which in turn makes this "art" as opposed to "craft" "art" in my eyes carries a message, for the artist, or the audience, and it can be clear, obscure or left for interpretation, even no message can be purposeful. Craft, is just pretty things. I love that you've used these objects, and the "why" behind them ❤❤❤

Oh wow, that's a wonderful interpretation!

I get it, the materials hold meaning for you and even if you were to be able to achieve the same shapes with more conventional art tools you wouldn't necessarily think to combine them in the same ways. You have created such lovely contrast here with black/white, geometric shapes/organic shapes, and natural forms/constructed objects.

After you cut it all out it reminds me of a piece of jewelry. Like a bold handcrafted statement piece.

Luise, you never cease to amaze me!!! I love these florals you have made from your found treasures! You have inspired me to search my garden shed for bits to stamp with. Thank you again for sharing. 🌷🦋

I am loving this series!

I love this series. It is helping me see beyond the obvious. I have tried stamping with found objects but in a more straightforward mundane way. I never would have thought to use strapping plastic for plant stems and leaves. Thank you. Meg

I love how with these found stamping objects you created mid-century modern art and I think they would be also wonderful with colors. I like to use found objects too and you have given me a more expanded idea of what to look for and use. This is fun! Thank you for the inspiration - I will be trying this.

So fun and imaginative! When I started out collage/junk journaling I bought a lot of materials from craft stores and Amazon, but having a lot didn’t spark creativity-it just felt chaotic and overwhelming. (When I see videos of those IKEA-furnished craft rooms that look like supply stores I don’t know how people can get creative there!) I’ve since donated most of that stuff and I find having a smaller stash is actually a lot more fun! Thanks for your time and ideas!

This project has you in your FULL GLORY!! I am in love with it! It's wonderful how you made lemonade out of lemons(your apartment troubles). Also, I am an EXPERT at making a mess on my craft table in record time but I love the refresher course!🖌🎨

Yes, we think this is COOL!!! I love the new digitals you've created. The black and white funky flowers are fantastic!! Can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve next....:)

Luise these are beautiful! This journal will have so many good memories for you.

love the flowers - they are gorgeous! At first I wasn't sure the metal pieces would work as stamps but they stamped really well. I totally get what you are doing by using the bits and pieces from your new apartment site- the components of the journal tell a story as much as the final creation will also tell a story. I love the meaning this journal will have for you.

Memories are with us longer than a physical object. So I agree with making those memories with things from your new along with from your old living experience is a good thing. I’m getting older and keeping memories alive keeps me living ❤️ keep it up.

Weird is good! I love weird! Keep on doing weird things!

Luise, I absolutely love watching you create art. This is spectacular!

Brilliant, Luise. You are super talented artist. You have great imagination and visions for art. I love your creativity from your finds at your new apartment. Thank you for sharing. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I was so loving how you created those flowers and how beautiful they are. If I hadn’t seen you actually create them with those found objects I wouldn’t have believed it could be this beautiful…🥰! They are uhm….words just can’t say how fond I am of them and especially because of the process you’re going through and the meaning behind what they are created from…just Wow! I love this journey you are sharing with all of us and how you explain they why and the purpose of what you are doing really resonates with me. You’re extremely talented and gifted in your art and so fun to watch as you create. Thank you so much for sharing this whole experience through your eyes for us. Oh your statement oh how you and Barbra’s brains work differently when creating is very interesting….I’m like Barbara in that I can’t really envision where I’m going and the path to that finished project. My brain only sees each step along the way. Just different creative processes I guess. I too was shouting…..Make a digital or some stamps from your designed items….😂😂😂! Fabulous! Take care 😊

Amazing! So creative, using everything you find. They are almost, or even better than stamps! I love how you make memories this way.

I totally get you Luise, when I travel I collect found objects or plant material to make marks with, I do that because it is fun to look back on and remember. Of course I could make marks with what I have but that is not unique to the memory! We are not in fine art school so we do what makes us happy and that is a beautiful thing in my eyes! Very inspiring video!💕🇨🇦

I absolutely loved your found items botanicals. They are beautiful.

Weird but only because mark making is difficult for me. Educational to see how to use unusual shapes and materials to build a design. Also incredibly fascinating to see the patterns evolve and expand to more and more beautiful as I am trusting the process while you continue. This is remarkable art documenting your move and the chaos of living at a construction site. You having doubt and insecurity makes it more encouraging to me that I will learn to play more. What I see is your extraordinary creativity that feels fearless

I can't even articulate how much I love the abstract flora!😍 Really... so cool.🖤🤍🖤

Can't wait to see how these unique pieces are going to work on your pages!:)

These are beautiful, as you say "trust the process". I want to use this process for things I pick up on the nearby beach. You have presented a new way for me to think about using random objects in a meaningful way. Thank you!

This is just amazing! There is a young student in out local hardware store that has taken to helping me when I go in and shows interest in what I'm working on. He will have a good laugh when I go in next! I'm not fond of shopping in stores but hardware, book, and craft stores are the exception.

You amaze me with what you create from found objects. Stunning!❤

I am a story time teacher at my library and your flowers remind me of Dr. Seuss plants. They are wonderful. I wonder if you have Dr. Seuss in German, I think so-Green eggs and ham and books like that. Not sure how you can create new kits, make journals and videos while you are moving. Moving is horrible even if the result is good.

These pieces that you made are amazing! I don’t think this idea is weird at all. I think it’s brilliant. EEK! Printable from the founder objects. I’m in love with!

Luise ... this is absolutely stunning! Your skills and creativity is next level. Very inspirational. I love it. Thank you for sharing.

More more more more more pleeeezzz❤❤❤❤. So inspiring and creative!!! Your best one yet Luise

Ohhhh Luise, those are freaking fantastic! Just brilliant!!!

I love what you did, Luise. It makes it feel well worth it. I completely understand. Thank you for sharing this with me.

I love your mark making and the flowers you created with it. It gives me lots of ideas on how to make your own focal points

Hi Luise...can't wait til the end to comment. Simply put, not everyone gets art. I wish you could digi scan your brain! I have learnt so much from you through the years. I have mostly learnt how to trust yourself and the process. Another thing I admire is using unconventional items. I grew up in a time where we didnt have all the fun tools and gadgets but what i did have was a wonderful mother who taught us to be artistic by using found items. That's the fun of discovery. My best work usually comes from my mistakes. I get you and how you think and process. You inspire me most. You are simply amazing ❤ Nebraska USA ❤❤

Thank you again Luise! I love the idea of memory making this way. I want to try this with our summer cottage renovation.

I LOVE making messes sometimes, and using odd things! You make me giggle and continue to amaze me with your talents. Hopefully your move begins to go smoothly asap!

These are just beautiful! I was one of the voices asking for a digital collection. Thank you very much. I am thoroughly amazed by your creativity ❤

I love this project. Yay for Turning this into a digital paper? Inkblot images are very modern!

Louse, irs not weird at all. You have created a very cool look! I’ve used found objects but using them to create botanicals really takes it up a notch. 😊

💜

I watch you just to see the new and interesting things you try. I enjoy your humor too. Now I would like to see you use the same objects on the gel plate to make more botanicals.

This is so amazingly super cool! Pop Art flowers made from souvenirs of your construction site! And I really hope PMS artist studio creates some stencils & stamps based on these. I know that kind of defeats the purpose of the uniqueness of each, but maybe stamps could be multi-sided or a set made up of elements like you have here, so we can DIY our own flowers from the set. Yes we can find our own stuff to play with (& I definitely will), but what you’ve made are just that awesome.

What do ya mean WHY? Bc it's pretty. We like it. It's art. It evokes happiness generally speaking. That's why. 😂 PS I LOVE THESE FLOWERS! ooo the ideas!! TYSM for the inspiration!!❤

I love these. It is an amazing way to make and save your memories. ❤❤❤

I really and truly think your one of the best creators out there. I always dig your style!! And yes I totally get how this journal is making memories!!! Such great talent and imagination you have! It's a joy to watch❤

I’m also going to be moving soon to a house that we’ve had built ( in cement blocks -not wood) and I’m inspired by your “construction “ finds to do my own take on the things that I find . I already have a few pieces of things that I can use to see what I can make ❤😮😊😁🥰 I love you flowers too ! ! 🌷💐🌹

You are awesome and so talented. I love watching you create!

Love the digitals and the mark making looks like so much fun!

Your mind is brilliant! And your art is wonderful!❤

I love your work and your sprit . You are amazing. You inspire me to try new things. I love the flowers you have made. Please keep on doing your style.

If this helps, I spend hours deciding what to do next in my projects. You are doing very good!

Luise, this is awesome! Yes, more of this please!

Love your creativity using found objects from your construction site. We have a business shop and I will be looking for smaller different items from now on for abstract nature items! You have given me idea(s) for a different style nature journal! Thank you!

These things would really work on a Gel plate thank you for sharing with us all

Love this paper collection. ❤️

So fun and creative. I love it. I saw an Instagram reel yesterday where someone made what they called a "bundle" where they took a bunch of papers and rusty bits and sprayed it with something and tied it all up in a cloth to sit and color the papers. Interesting. I didn't follow the account to see the result though. But I thought of you and your rusty screws when I watched it 😂.

I love how creative you are! I am in awe of you! ❤

Congratulations for your move back to Deutschland! I loved living there. Definitely not long enough. I love this idea. I am moving into a house we just bought, the end of this month. I have used all kinds of stuff to stamp with, but never thought of cutting it out. From the tiny circles to the flower arrangements I love it all. You are a genius!!! Thank you so much. I am going to make my own moving journal. Though we aren’t doing a lot of work on the house at this time I will still find stuff I can use.

I don't know how you think of these ideas but linking physical items about your move is a great way to create memories. The leaves you made with the plastic strip made me wonder if i could try doing two sides to make feathers..?? Thanks for the inspiration!
