@@MarjorieVedric Thanks for watching and subscribing. Very much appreciated. 💜

@@TashaHarrisTashaluvsyou Aww... ☺️ That's sweet. 😘 But "brilliant" was the idea of @BohemianCrafting. I just adjusted it a bit.

I'm so happy this little experiment worked out so well. It's not the same as printing with a Gelli Plate, but flatbed printing nonetheless. 😁 Have fun experimenting.

@@Mummabearscrafts4u You're very welcome. 🥰

@@TashaHarrisTashaluvsyou Thank you, sister. 🥰

@@ForeverMomentDesigns Thank you. 🥰 I'm happy to be back as well. Most of all I've missed making a mixed media mess. 😁

@@susananthony2366 Thank you. 🥰 I was thinking about dipping. But then I decided against it, because I would have had to get the remaining glue back into the bottle. 😅 Have lots of fun making your gifts. 💜

@@CGorissen Graag gedaan! I really admire the Dutch mentality: kind, funny and relaxed. 🧡

@@ForeverMomentDesigns Thank you so much. 💕💜💕

@@GrandmaAbby1 Thank you. 💕💜💕

Thank you so much. ☺️💜

@@Tracey_triesjournaling 😊 I was really lucky. Finding treasures like these for a reasonable price is happy dance time for a German. 😅

@ same for us in Canada. Prices people ask are ridiculous! I have some new goodies to share soon. Happy Thrifting Frieda!!🥰

@@ForeverMomentDesigns Thanks for the lovely compliment. ☺️💜

@@wendymontgomery9837 You're very welcome. Thanks for watching and your lovely comment. I appreciate it a lot. 💜

@@GrandmaAbby1 Thank you, Abby. 💜 Craft and art supplies are and have always been expensive. And yet, the Old Masters still teach us how to flourish in creativity anyway. 🥰

@@TashaHarrisTashaluvsyou Thank you for being here with me, sister. 😘

Definetly. 😊 We're planing on going for thrifting in NL at least twice a year from now on.

​@@wilbeijnevanwaardenburg285 Thank you, dear friend. 😘 Your envelopes just came in handy.

🥰 I haven't raided the garden completely yet. The vine leaves are red and orange and yellow since today. It's so beautiful. 💜

This is a valid question. Thank you! 😊 First: I'm not a scientist. All my thoughts are based on what I've learned at school or life has taught me the hard way. 😉 I'm using destilled / pure water to add to products when not using up immediately, because destilled water only contains H²O and therefore can't go bad on it's own. But I always make sure the product itself can be diluted with water by design. For immediate use I sometimes use tap water, but only if I already know the ingredients won't react with the ions in the water. Requires a bit of testing. 😉 Using tap water also depends on where you live. In Germany all tap water is drinking water. The minerals contained in the water vary from community to community. I've lived in a region where the water contained lots of calcium, so I couldn't clean my brushes with natural brush soap. It was impossible to get all the soap residue off without rinsing the brushes with lemon or vinegar. Bad idea. 😅 So yes, this is a very complex topic. Again thanks for the question. You made my day! 🥰

Whiten and flake? That's disgusting. I'll stick with the matte gel: multi-talented and safe. And in the end it's even cheaper.

😉 I've been told quite a while ago about the slang usage of the word in the Netherlands. I don't care. 😊 It's funny though how fast slang evolves into everyday language.

@@FriedaFriemel 🤔the slang? nooit van gehoord...

Sorry, my bad. Of course the present meaning of the word in Dutch is no longer colloquial. Originally "friemel(e)n" discribed focused handiwork on a very delicate piece in both languages. So teenagers use it to... You know where this is headed. 🤣

@@FriedaFriemel 😃

You're very welcome. 💜

Thank you, Abby. 💜

@@TashaHarrisTashaluvsyou 🥰😘

You're very welcome, sister. 💜💕💜 We're all here at the YT Academy to learn from each other. 😊

Hello Kim. I'm looking forward to see your idea taking shape.

@@kellyg1228 Thank you for watching and subscribing. 💜😊

Thank you, Kim. This comment is extremely helpful, because only now I see I forgot to mention some little facts that are obvious to me by now. Blinkered attitude... 😅 Using the Fabri-Tac glue e.g. with uphlostering fabric, which mostly is tightly woven, should be fine. And you wouldn't want your fabric to be even more stubborn backing it with paper. 😄 With lighter fabric I've seen some really unpleasant results even when using fabric glue. This might have been prevented by turning the fabric into book cloth. MC is mostly used to repair bookpages or to dilute PVA without making it too watery. Using MC for this video was a test and it worked just fine. Originally starch paste or a mix of both pastes is used to make bookcloth, because it isn't as susceptible to moisture. I'd say it extremely depends on the quality of the fabric which method to choose. There's a recipe for starch paste in my previous video about the different types of glue and paste.

@@FriedaFriemel Oh great. I haven't watched the glues videos yet and will be sure to. Thank you for all the great tips!

I'm still not sure what it's actual use is, but it was still packed. So I'm safe. 🤣

I was really lucky. And the little one, too. 😉 Hubby found some treasures for himself right at the entrance of the first store before I even found my way around. Wonderful. 🥰

I'm glad you like it. 💜 Have a wonderful autumn day.

Thank you, Kim. 💜 Yard sales... 😍 Hubby and I are a bit sad this isn't a thing in Germany. And I've actually told my soul sister the night I recorded and shared this video I couldn't find any sleep. Too many ideas! I got my idea book and wrote down 37 new ones, but still wanted to start making some prototypes; at 3 AM when I got up at 6:30 the morning before. 😅

Thanks for watching, dear. 💜 Yes, sad but true. The prices for vintage items in Germany as well as in England or Austria are very high. Occasionally you'll find a reasonable deal at the charity shops in Germany, but most vintage items (books, furniture, dishes, you name it from the 60's and older) they sell to the antique dealers or on eBay.

@@FriedaFriemel flea markets do better prices is my experience in Germany.

💜 I am really lucky. Thanks for watching.

💜 I'm glad you like it.

@@crazylovingit Yes, it is very dark indeed. I really can't tell if changing the colors is hard to do or not. I'm using GIMP for this and just play around with the color options. If you're using Windows 10 or 11 the Photo Viewer has some editor tools, too. Just play with the color and saturation.

@@FriedaFriemel Okay, thank you for the help - I appreciate it.

Thank you so much. 💜

@@crazylovingit Thank you so much. 💜 We did have a wonderful time. But I really have missed my Craft Kitchen. 😁
