Crafting A Reality
США
Добавлен 2 мар 2021
I started this channel to share art tips and techniques I have learned throughout the decades that I have been exploring all the facets of the art world. This is my attempt to pack my studio with as many people interested in creating and learning to grow with their art.
Although I have one I do not really believe you need a degree in art to become a good artist. I think practice, focus, willingness to learn new things and a sense of adventure would serve you just as well.
My videos are not posh, phony or slick, I am not in this to impress.The videos are to inspire and entertain fellow artists. Please bear with me if there is a glitch here or there and my tendency to veer off and ramble. That is me being me. I am not wired to do it any other way.

Perfect. I had a question. You provided an answer, and more information than I expected. Thank you. 👍
I just received my air dry clay in the mail today. I am very glad i came upon your video .
Those are very pretty. I'm just starting with air dry clay, and it's nice to see something different. Do you have a tutorial on how to make the beaded chains for the necklaces?
@dsa2591 no but I am going to do some new tutorials soon. I will add that to it.
Thank you
Thanx for this new way of dying !! Yes loved the last one the best !! Im trying this way next, others and "my" either to long or plain, no design !! Ive done some painting with coffee on freezer paper and made its "own " design !! 🎉❤😊
Interesting. 😍👍
What paper is that beautiful Work I love it ❤👏👏
where can i find mixed media gel prints?
Are you looking for prints to buy or techniques?

Thanks
I loved watching this video! In the end you mention a followup video with the final work on the collage. I can't seem to find it. Can you help? I'd love to see the end result
Does the baby oil affect subsequent pulls?
Just make sure you wipe it all off and everything will be fine
This is so Cool! I actually got pencil accidentally onto my gelli plate and found out the hard way about needing baby oil to get it off! But when I tried to see if it would transfer, it didn't. Soo....is it only the water soluble graphite that transfers? I just found your channel and look forward to watching more. Thanks so much!
That was great ty I live hello prinfing. But there’s only so much collaging books. You can make this working with jewelry except my alley. Thank you very much for the video.
this clay gets as hard as the kind that would be fired in a kiln? amazing! can it be hard enough to sell as jewellery? it wont break??
I can't say it won't ever break but it doesn't break easy. It is sturdier than some materials they use for jewelry.
Thanks for sharing! Really interesting, will definitely try this!
Just beautiful! Thoughtfully and thoroughly done lesson. Thank you very much.
Thank you for sharing. This video was very informative ❤
Omgosh thank you, you made this so much more accessible 💜
Good day. How are you removing the Poska marks from the gel plate after use. I have tried soap and water and alcohol, and nothing is working.
I love these!!!❤❤❤
Genius way of assuring good registration! I can see many applications for this.
A very cool technique. Thanks for sharing (-: Marion 🎉
Nice!
Very cool technique. I love how the map turned out…oh I also, agree with you on the grunge paper. Love love love it
Beautiful 😍
The Kodak mini is a cool reference tool! I use the lid to a glass jar candle as a baron. 😊
I like the implied reflection where the last, large piece overlapped the mountains. Great stash to work from!
thank you
Love your video! I must try this!❤❤
Did it work with heavier paper?
Yes it did. I used some drawing paper and it transferred but had a bit of texture. I went back to the tissue because it works better for my collages.
What a lovely fantastic inspirational video ❤ it....I have liked and subscribed to show support for your channel....hugs from Scotland 🏴 😊
The rain in the back was actually peaceful 😊
Beautiful ❤️
Super cute! Thanks
Great Idea.....Thank you I have tons of gel prints to use🤩
I love this! I’m going to try it out as soon as I get up tomorrow 🙈
Knitten needle works 😊
Great video - thanks! I’ve been trying to both figure out what to do with all of my gel prints…and for something to add to my products at markets I’m doing. I’m thinking that it might be easier to glue the blanks down first and then cut them out? Also - a Dremel or other rotary tool would come in handy for buffing the edges (and sanding the finding hole!) Lots of ideas you’ve given me - thank you!
I do use a dremel sometimes but on my videos I try to show how stuff can be done with minimal equipment. I have collaged a big sheet of tissue paper together and then glued the blanks down and cut them out with an exacto knife. Either way works fine.
@@craftingareality6282 good point about the minimal equipment piece!
I would recommend Sketchbox over Scrawlrbox for you simply because you live in the US. For anyone living in the EU or UK, I’d recommend Scrawlrbox. Both companies typically have really great products. The only difference is the time and money for shipping.
Thank you for your recommendation. I am going to open my second Sketchbox tonitght. I hope it is as good as the last one. Once I have opened all three I will make a decision on what I will subscribe to. There are just so many out there it is confusing.
The lack of in-box instructions is frustrating BUT they do have a RUclips channel where they explain how to use each supply and offer a tutorial using the supplies.
Thank you for letting me know about the videos. I found the one for this box and it was very helpful.
That set is so complete - the materials they send look cool. Of course, you always make the art part look easy. 😊
I love the beautiful colors. I like the idea of mixing your own. I wonder if they could be mixed with acrylic paint since they are water soluble. Hugs ❤️💛💙
They probably could be. I am having fun experimenting with these pigments. I hope the other two sketchbox's are as interesting.
Gorgeous colours 😍
They mix well too. I got a gourgous burnt orange mix from them.
Is there any instructions on their website? I noticed one of those code things that you can scan at the bottom of the card, could try that. Those powders look very pigmented I mean I'm no expert or anything, but it looks like you only need the tiniest of bits...if so, these are gonna last a heck of a long time! Beautiful colours .... that purple when you mixed them... fantastic colour!
I have been playing with that little bit I mixed all afternoon. I haven't checked out their website yet there may be instructions there. I will though. I like what I am getting from these pigments.
What a cool little set. And your travel kits are awesome. Always enjoy your videos!
Graphite has produced best results for me with transfer. I like the variety of colours you have and your paper towel method to ensure best results,
Really cool Ruth!! Love how quickly you pull art together!
So glad to see you, Ruth!❤
Thank you
Good to have you back Ruth ❤
Thank you I will try not to stray again...LOL
Good to see you back Ruth. Are the paint cards double sided? I wouldn't be surprised if they are saturated with watercolour paint.
Ruth, I have been so worried about you. It’s so good to see you. Hugs ❤️❤️❤️
I am sorry I caused you concern. I am fine, like a lot of people I struggle at times but I go on at whatever pace I can. Hugs back at you.
