There's no specific products for this, not really. For the covers I either print photos of old book covers that I reduced to the size I want, or just use textured paper. For the inside pages I like brown paper because I want a vintage look, and often use strips I cut from paper bags. For the glue I think it's best to just use the brand you like and are used to. I know it's not a very specific answer, but hope it's somehow helpful :)

LOL - exactly! I use my fingers in everything, they're the most useful tool we have! When people worry about using fingers in painting I always wonder if it's some weird remnant of times they used lead and other not-so-good-for-you materials in them... 😂 In any case, I think half the fun of mixed media is playing with different materials and textures and that definitely includes touching them! Thank you for the laugh and for stopping by, glad you liked it ❤

your welcome - we artists have to stick together and keep a good sense of humor and adventure in us :) @@PeculiarisArt

Thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed the video, I'm sure you'll have tons of fun with these dies! ❤

Thanks so much! I don't make that many videos anymore (life got in the way...), but there are some more house building and miniature making projects on my channel already, and fingers crossed I'll be able to add some new videos soon! Out of curiosity, what do you find more useful, edited videos or livestreams?❤

@@PeculiarisArt I enjoy both but I do really love the fact that with the livestreams I get to see more in depth details and I really appreciate that.

Thank you so much!

Oh yay! I'm so glad to hear that! For me these dies are now old friends that I have fun with every time - I keep finding new ways to use them :D I hope you'll have just as much fun! ❤️

Thank you so much!

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it ^^

I know right? It a favorite of mine since childhood, but apparently it's not very known... Hope you enjoyed this even with no analysis 🌹✨

Thanks so much! 💜

Hi! Thanks for stopping by ^^ I printed the book covers with all their details. I just found images of old book covers and printed them in the size I wanted :)

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked the video. I do hope to get back to making them, my life is just a little crazy at the moment, but hopefully I'll be able to carve some time for it later this year. Thanks for stopping by and leaving such a kind comment, it made me so happy!

No need to yell. Do you mean the cover of the book? I'm not sure what more to explain, but I'm happy to answer if you have a specific question.

Thanks so much! I'm so glad you're enjoying it ❤

Your little furry angel sounds so cute. Can any of these be cut by hand? Love to watch ur vid 😻☺️

Thanks so much!

No, it's not mica, it's hard getting it here so I never worked with it. I use two layers: vellum and transparency glued one on top of the other :)

Hi Jim, sorry for the delay, I wanted to make sure I get this right and needed to do some testing: This video is using the old village dies, most of which have been discontinued by now. The package you have (665564) is the new version, which includes all the parts in one set. It's basically the same as the original design only in thin dies and the house is a little bit smaller. The new set does have a die for the dormer windows, but unfortunately doesn't have a bay window (I guess that's because of the smaller size, the bay window die was already super delicate and probably could not be shrunk any more). But here's the good news: the old bay window die does fit with the new set! It will require a bit of adjustment to match, but definitely works. So if you want, you can try get the Village Fixer Upper die set (no. 662699), just note that the other dies in the Fixer Upper set are included in the pack you've bought. I really love the bay window, so I'll look into trying to replicate it with the selection of windows/doors available in the new package. Thanks for bringing this to my attention and hopefully this is helpful! (I know this came out super long, so if I wasn't clear do let me know).

Thanks so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed this! Yes, I did use the add on for the bay windows. If you're using the thinlits version of the dwelling series, it already includes the bay windows, but in the original Bigz sets you needed the Fixer Upper set for that extra bit :)

I have the thingies dies. But I have not seen the bay window die. I do though have the add on die. Tomorrow I will be using the add on die. Your details are impeccable. The tree is awesome, and again thank you for your detail work.

Thanks so much! I'm so happy you enjoy it, I really love the results you get ^^ Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks so much! That's so awesome to hear, I hope you'll have a ton of fun making it!

Thanks so much! Glad you liked it ^^

Thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed it, I'm sure you'll have loads of fun making with these dies, building scenes is the best! 😁🎃

Thank you so much! So happy you enjoyed it! 😁

@@PeculiarisArt I definitely did! 😁

Thank so much! I adore Poe, his works are so unique and with their own rhythms, poems and stories alike. It was a challenge doing the sound for this, but I had a lot of fun too, I'm so glad you liked it!

Thanks so much Sue! ❤

Thanks so much!

lol I thought that's how I was saying it?... But yeah, I've heard it pronounced as 's' and I heard it pronounced as 'z' so maybe I just went for something weird in between? 😂 Honestly, English is pronounced so differently in the various English speaking countries that it can get confusing and I generally go with "if they understand me it's fine" 🤣🤷‍♀️ But thanks, always interesting to learn ^^

@@PeculiarisArt yeah you are right . hugs to you.

You are so welcome! I'm so happy to hear! Hope you enjoy making your own little house ^^

Thanks but actually there was a temporary bug in my streaming app, it was all fixed soon after thankfully! :)

@@PeculiarisArt aww darn thank goodness for that . by the way your art work is mind blowing . new subbie =)

Awww thanks so much! And thanks for joining! :D

Thanks so much! The grass is a combination of grass for miniatures and architecture models grass (you can usually find it in art supply shops, unlike miniature grass that's usually only in specialized shops). I just got a big bag and colorize it to shades of green for interests 😁

@@PeculiarisArt cool! Thanks 👍🏻😊

My pleasure! Hope you have fun with it ;)

Thank you! So happy to hear 😊

Thanks so much Gina, so glad to hear! And I did add a graveyard! Among other things😉You can see it in the part 2 video if you like ❤

It's hard to keep track on art supplies when moving, some always seem to end in a random box, don't they?😅 Good luck finding them soon!🍀

@@PeculiarisArt its so true i had accumulated quite alot and when we arrived at the new house there was less room due to a family member moving in with us so i hadnt unpacked my supplies. I still have boxes to get thru and i hope i still have these.

Thank you! This mansion isn't in a specific ratio, it's somewhere between 1:48 & 1:35. Honestly I didn't think about it too much when I started and just try to build things so they fit each other visually 😉

Thanks so much Janine!

Thank you so much! ❤❤

Thanks so much! So glad you liked it! Yeah, I have a ridiculous stash of washi - it was about time to use some lol! 😂

Thanks so much! So glad you liked it ^^ I usually give the texture paste 20-30 minutes to dry before melting the glaze, it usually dries faster, but I'd rather be on the safe side ;)

@@PeculiarisArt Thank You! I’m going to give it a try

Thank you so much! 💜💜💜

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for joining us!
