Two Old Crows Mixed Media

Добавлен 23 апр 2020
Mixed Media design and creation on how to make junk journals. altered books and other mixed media projects from start to finish. Journal page layouts utilizing pockets, tags, tucks, altered clips, eco-dyed paper and more. I also like to make my own supplies like gesso, chalk paint, and mod podge. I'm a metalsmith and fabricate in copper and sterling silver, so expect some fabrication to bleed into spine jewelry creation. I'm also a pretty mean operator of a scroll saw so many of my mixed media projects start from a wood substrate.

Very interesting and I really like the effects
Thank you!! I just recently dyed a t-shirt with the onion skins and it really turned out well, I’ve become a fan of the onion skin dye and have my neighbors saving me skins!
Beautiful! Understated and elegant! Thank you!😊
Thank you, I enjoyed working on the composition books and they are definitely handy if you are a journal writer like me!
You did an awesome job on this book! Can't wait to see the rest of your videos!
Thank you! Hope you found some comp book ideas you like in my playlist!
Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing your work.
Thank you very much!
To get the paint off the plate, you must let the layer you're going to pull with dry which adheres the paper and the paint on the plate together. If the paint between the paper and the plate is wet, it will just separate. Imagine if you were gluing two things together. You would not pull it apart while the glue was still wet. The paint acts as a glue adhering the paint on the plate and the paper together, but it must be dry to stick everything to the paper.
But, you know, this is irrelevant for you as an artist. Your papers are perfect for your art. What you make is exactly what you need for your work. It's only relevant when you are teaching others about gel plate printing. For your work, I don't think you should change a thing!
Thank you very much for this thoughtful comment, I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge….I think I often underestimate the dry time due to my own lack of patience. There are times I want that pristine pull and times I’m happy when it’s not. You’ve inspired me to be a bit more patient--it may change my thought process!!!💕
@@TwoOldCrowsMixedMedia I hope it doesn't change your beautiful outcome!
I love your compositions! I came here from your first collage with the leaf patterns, which I think was perfection! I'm curious as to why you don't let your paint dry between coats when gel printing. Your final image is splendid, so it's a me thing, not a you thing, but I would love if you could explain how/why you make that choice. Thanks!
Is it because you do not want the stencil impression to be too sharp and precise? I understand how well that works in the final image.
I think you’re right, it’s a me thing and while I think the perfection of a gel print is beautiful, I also like that grungy hint of an image. Additionally, I like to keep moving, so it is a patience thing as well. Great question!
@@TwoOldCrowsMixedMedia Whatever the case, and I looked at a number of your gel plate videos, your collages are beautiful and you should, of course, just do what you do. :0)
I love it!
Thanks! Appreciate you looking around my channel!💕
Great tips! Thank you so much !! 🫶🎨🫶
Thank you!!! I hope you found something you can use !!
Just gorgeous!!❤
Thank you! 😊. Appreciate the watch💕
Love it!!
Thank you!! Glad you found the playlist💕
I’ve seen several videos on altering composition notebooks - - this was the best!! Love the outcome!! ❤
Thank you so much! I’m glad you like it! I went through a period where I did about a dozen of these😂
Fun project Peg! Congrats on your retirement 🎉
Thank you!
Congratulations on your retirement! May you be blessed with happy and , fruitful days. This project is amazing. Where do you get your splendid ideas? The nightlight looks great. Love it! TFS 🙏🥰
Ideas are bountiful in Somerset Mags, Pinterest and some You Tube channels. I should do a video on the you tube creators I follow for inspiration!
That would be fun! I follow some of the same ones but i'm sure there are other good ones. I might need to add some hours to my day!
@susananderson8428 😂I’m a bit behind on my watch hours!!!
Wow! What a fun idea! I was surprised that the balloon didn't stick to the tp. 😮 That looks like a project my grandson and I might do but i'll have to remember it and maybe connect it to his study of the planets or whatever! It will take longer than the 2 days we have before school starts! Congratulations on your retirement. I retired (the first time) 10 years ago (May 2014) but I went back 4 times! But finally in 2017 i got it done! I tell people it took me that long to figure retirement out. I have enjoyed the last few years but it was really a challenge at first. Enjoy yours quicker than I did. ❤❤❤
Well, I was supposed to retire at the first of the year, then I pushed it to a hard quit on June. …and here I am agreeing to stay until Jan 3rd😂. I think a planet mobile with these would be great fun!!
What a neat project, Peg. Thanks for playing.
Thank you and Thank you for having me !
Fabulous Peg❤❤❤ that moon can fool me any day. Thank you for been part of the Streamathon. You added valuable content to it for sure
Thank you for having me! Happy you found some value in my projects!❤️
Thank you for sharing
My pleasure, thank you for watching!
FUN, we forget about all the uses of the simple balloon. Thankyou for a nice idea.
It was a fun project, very easy technique for sure!
So THATS where all the TP went!! lol jk
More like all the good stuff was gone and we were left with the single ply! That was quite the experience 😂
❤❤❤
Thank you!
Thank you for allowing us to see your work.
My pleasure; appreciate you watching!
Thanks for sharing Peg 😊
My pleasure 😊 thank you for watching!!
Peg, this was fun. I love the little candle.
Thank you, i wound up painting a very small terra cotta saucer and glued it to the top, now it will hold a larger candle or a plant. It was a gun project.
Thanks so much. i really enjoyed the video! your journal is wonderful!
Thank you so much!
Zentangles look like fun. I may have to check that out. My "Grandma duties" are waining since school starts next week so i'll have more time to "play" with my papers and journals. I'm enjoying the ATC swaps. I might try my hand at postcards (Ceri the Crafter challenge from July). I'm finding the ATCs fun but small!! I'd never done anything smaller than a double page!!😂 Thanks for sharing. ❤❤❤
I’m so glad you are having fun with the swap!!! We are going to do an artist choice this month as another member said the ATCs were small and requested a larger item this month!!
Peg you always inspire me. Thank you for sharing your talents!
Thank you so much for following along with me!
The colors you obtained for the shirt and papers are wonderful. You are right about the paper looking in places like butterscotch wrappers. TFS 🙏🥰
That shirt was fun and I bought a dozen of big shirts to wear when I paint, I think they all are going to get a makeover!
@@TwoOldCrowsMixedMedia I sent this video to my daughter. She has eight- year- old twins who would love to do this with her. Plus lots of shirts that still fit, but have lots of stains on them!! She could even buy lots of white T-shirts and make some back to school shirts. I am thinking red onions would give another color. 👏👏
I don't live where you do, but empathize with your wide band connection. Our service is wonky and it drives me crazy. My sister -in- law lives on a mountain in VT she has problems, too! My point is lots of us can feel your pain! 🫂
Oh my goodness😍…I haven’t tried zen tangles …I think it’s time.
Go for it! I hadn’t either. The book I showed is so easy to follow and it certainly helped me understand the how!!
Awesome
Thank you!
What a great project. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you for watching!!
@@TwoOldCrowsMixedMedia you are welcome :)
Is new to me Peg and I’m glad you showed me how to do it❤ turn out really good❤ love it with a candle
New to me too….thanks for the push to try something I have not done! I fell for the zen tangle, very funny and so relaxing!
This is beautifull Peg
Thank you Raul!
What iron are you using?
It is just a small craft/travel iron that I purchased online for about $15US
I adore your people pieces. This is amazing with all of the interesting additions you added. Wonderful. Your creativity knows no bounds. Wow.
Thank you so much! I’m having some fun with the paper doll people and just trying to make use of what I already own! 😂
I don’t think I’ve seen you use sprays before. Wonderfully informative. Love the results.
Thank you! I usually wear more of the sprays then make it to my project😂.
I loved seeing your process. I’m such a fan of all things Peg and this is no exception. Wonderfully informative video.
Thank you Christy💕💕. I am so happy you follow along with me as I am a huge fan of yours!
💕you are so sweet, means a lot to me💕. Thank you!
Love this.
Thank you!
AWESOME
Thank you!! Glad you liked my play with onions!
We would tie-dye t-shirts at the camp i was a nurse for. It was Deaf teenager at camp for a week. It was great fun and I loved the different colors put together and the patterns from the different folds. Fascinating. The onion skins did a terrific job. I like the color variations. Nice job TFS ❤❤❤
That sounds very rewarding! Thanks for watching!
Isn't nature amazing? Thanks as always Peg for sharing your 'eclecticities' ❤
Love your comment…so true; I’m all over the place!!💕
Cool tshirt and papers Peg 👍
Thank you!!! Happy to know you’re still watching💕
@@TwoOldCrowsMixedMedia i live your content. I have just been so busy and falling behind.
@@devonrex4 I understand that…I’m behind as well!!!
Is very very interesting Peggy, love the result, the color is so stunning thank you Peg❤ so nice to have a horse❤ the papers I like the papers, even without the tea, you can paint them with tea or coffe for sure if you want
Thanks so much 😊
That shirt came out beautiful. I like that you use natural elements to dye. I've never thought of using the onion skins to leave an impression on the papers.
Thanks so much 😊
Wow beautiful art work. I just love watching your process, and how you explain your work.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comment!
This was a fascinating process with phenomenal results! TFS. 🙏🥰
Thank you so much!
You never cease to impress. This project is fantastic! The faces are a delight!!! Thanks for sharing your incredible talents! 🙏🥰
Thanks Evelyn…I just redid one of my lawn chairs with one of these wonky faces--I think I’ll set it aside for any neighbor that over serves themself😂
For a first time Zentangler, your results are impressive! Love the zines. Love the cover. TFS. 🙏🥰
Thanks so much! 😊 yes, first timer, bought the books which were very helpful!
Very cool faces on your wonky TP rolls Peg! 👍
Glad you like them! Thank you💕
So cool! The wonky faces are delightful. Your talent and creativity are awesome. I can't imagine trying to do one project in one sitting for any consecutive days -or even weeks. It is beyond me but i love watchjng what others do! Great job. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! I bit off quite a bit here with six videos!
I like the Wonky toilet paper rolls. The faces are cute.
Thank you!
