Squealing with delight over here as you poke through your boxes of artful bits and bobs in the beginning of this video 🤗🤗🤗. I love these wee doo dads… ok…here we go…..
Glass cutting used to sound so scary...until someone showed me how easy it is. You'll have a pile of cut glass in no time! Enjoy and thanks for watching Cheryl.
Thank you. You are the best u tube instructor I have ever watched. You explain in a manner I can understand. I appreciate all the explanations and how you talk through your thought process during each step.
Wow, thank you Jasmine! This is a wonderful message to open up to this morning! I do love art and creating…and showing how I do it. It seems assemblage is one of the most popular medias…I must do more! Thank you for watching and your kind words!😊❤
These 3 videos were VERY inspirational for me. Demystified several things for me, from using the poly for a coating to how mindfully one must be about placement of elements. Thanks so very much. I'll be following you closely.
I'm so glad you liked them...assemblage art are my most watched videos, though not my most art practiced! They are so fun to do...I think I may do a few more coming up in the next months. Thanks so much for watching and following along with me!😉
Hi, Denise. I watched your previous two. What fun watching them in succession and taking in your processes. 😊 Beautiful and whimsical! I’m glad I found you. Question: In your first video I saw you used varnish. Is there an advantage using it over Liquitex or Golden medium that’s also used as a glue/sealant? This is new to me. I’m eager to know. Thanks!😊 Jacqueline
Hi Jaqualin...so glad you found me too and are enjoying the assemblage! I should do more assemblage videos, they seem to be my most popular! I use poly acrylic mainly because it works really well to glue things down and seal them in with a nice hard finish. Not to mention it's easier on the art supply pocketbook! If you get the poly acrylic for out door use (make sure it's water based) it also has a UV protector from the sun built right into it. All the way around its a great go to product...I love hardware store art supplies!😉🤭🧡
@@cerropaint Writing a bit, here. Thank you very much, Dianne. I had heard about protecting the surface, as you shared. The rest was quite new to me. Thank you for your clear explanation and reasons why. Oh, yes, I hear you about art supplies expenses! I tend to think outside the box, but a hardware store will become my next art supply store. Yes, do create more assemblages, please, especially when they’re popular. You do so beautifully. I’m new to your channel, so will explore your other videos, too. Jacqueline
Thanks Carolina Girl! Thank goodness I found those clay tiles in my stash...they were the perfect size and weight! Thanks for peeking in on my process!
Watched all 3 videos. Love ya Denise. Like an Art mom with soothing art advice and creative watching. Love the love birds one especially. Thanks for sharing. BRIAN.
Art Mom...that sounds good! I love the little birds too Brian...though my heart is with turtles! Thanks for taking the time to watch all three...you rock!
Thanks so much for sharing your techniques and art. Great videos. I am in a slump right now with my shadow boxes and this has given me new inspiration. Also it validates what I could charge for my art. People just don't realize how much goes into planning and designing assemblage art. I also use many Tim Holtz products in my art. Thanks again. I look forward to seeing more of your art and techniques in the future.
Thanks so much Sharon…it’s good to meet a fellow assemblage maker and appreciator! I’m so happy you found inspiration in my work…I hope it lifts you out of your slump! Most people don’t realize the amount of time and materials that go into assemblage…you just gotta do what you love, price it to sell and move on to the next!🧡
Loved watching you compose the art for the boxes you made previously. Also how easy to cut glass - and I'm assuming by your easy handling that there are no sharp edges. Thank you. Denise! Dee
There are actually sharp edges, though once I cut the glass I use sand paper to smooth out the edges and then make sure they are tucked inside the box so no accidents happen while handling the art! It amazed me how simple cutting is!🤭
Howdy Denise, just finished video #3 and am blown away! I love those little brick tiles that you used on the bottom of boxes to keep them from tipping over! Too bad you didn't have a lot more. But that's the thing about collecting all these nifty little pieces. You usually only get so many and some are too much and some too few. As well as having to store all of these cool 3D pieces. Sometimes there is just never enough space! Thanks again, for all these wonderful tips and how you attached it all together. I love how you added more things over the glass! Just that added extra touch!
Hi again Lynn! I wish I had more of those tiles too Lynn…they were so perfect for these boxes! Storing was a problem, especially since I love a good garage, estate yard sale and digging around old stuff. But I did a bit of a purge this last year and just kept what I really loved. I hope to show up again soon…but leaving for a month long trip next week and will be out of the studio. Til next time we meet…Enjoy!🧡🧡🧡
@@cerropaint Denise, thanks for those quick replies! Have a fantastic time on your month long vacation! I can tell you that I am a tad jealous, but looks like you've really earned this get away!
Hi Denise. Wonderful treat for me to watch all 3 of these videos. I so enjoyed it and I picked up some new ideas from it all. I haven't made a box assemblage in awhile, but now I am inspired. I love your vintage color choices and all those great script papers ,The blue one is cool too. I am admiring all your little treasures and your masterful placement. Those birds on top and the circle bits ,incl. the watch are so perfect. Those indentations in those boxes really help with creating depth. I never used glass, but should. I love the layering you get with it and I like that you had a little theme going. All 3 are so beautiful. I love turtles too. Adding a heavy stand is a good reminder for me to keep things stable. Big question...Did you find a similar base for the 3rd piece ? I tend to obsess a bit over keeping certain continuities. Must be the German in me. LOL Big Hugs to you. Happy travel. : )
Hi Ina...I was determined to get these videos done before my trip! You can tell this is one of my favorite art projects! Most of the pieces I've added in are things I kept after my last assemblage "stuff" purge...sooner or later they end up in a piece. I wish I did have a third terra cotta tile...they were the perfect size for the iPad boxes...sadly no. So I used them on the two pieces that needed the counter weight...and since they are all individual pieces it didn't matter that they are matched. So now...onto writing my monthly blog and adding this project in...and then back to trip planning and packing. It takes more thoughtful time to pack when you're only doing carry on! I will look forward to chatting with you all about it when I get back in April. Until then...keep making stuff Ina! 🧡🧡🧡
Thank you so much for your videos. I never did assemblage before, but you inspired me so much, now I'm totally excited to try it out. I'm heading to Michaels and Lowes right now.
You are going to enjoy it so much Sheila! When I first got started with it I just couldn’t stop! Such a great way to use up all the cool little odds and ends we collect in junk draws too. I know you’ll have fun, let me know if you have any questions along the way!👌🏻
Guten Tag, im neuen Jahr❗️😄 ich habe gerade ihren tollen Kanal entdeckt, alle 3 Folgen hintereinander sofort angesehen, sofort abonniert. Ihre Arbeit begeistert mich.👏 Aber woher Bekommen Sie all diese Apple Boxen ❓ich denke nicht, dass sie ein i phone kaufen, es wegschmeißen, nur um an die Box zu kommen 😁😁😁ich wünsche ein friedliches, kreatives 2024 😀
Are you kidding Wolfgang...eveyone I know who gets an iPhone hands the box over to me!!! I also went on eBay and actually bought some...but usually don't have to do that. I love iPad boxes too...they also work really great. Apple just offered great boxes with their products...I just can't throw them away!!!🤭
Absolutely wonderful!! Are they for sale? Never mind I went to your website. If I had the money I would surely buy one. Probably the birds. So enjoy watching your videos!
Thanks so much for watching Karen and wondering if they were for sale! I do love those little birds too...so happy to have them hang around the studio for awhile. Honored you would even consider it! Maybe you'll be making one of your own...hope so! Enjoy...Denise
OMGosh Michelle....how did I let your comment slip by! We've been on a 7 week trip to Europe (just got back this week ) so I'm a little behind! I either got the bins at Michaels or Amazon. They are so great for storing all my loose papers, I have three of them so that's 30 little drawers to hoard papers in!🤭
So funny Krista...I think those were my last iPad boxes! I have to depend on friends to pass more along...or go on eBay and pay for them!😑 I can bet you have a friend or two who would be happy to hand one over to you...they are such sturdy boxes, early anyone throws them away! Thanks for watching and sending me a note!🧡
Thanks so much Charlene for checking out all three videos! I know it's a bit of a time commitment...and hard for me trying to get each video under 30 minutes...but there is so much to share! Yes I do have all my assemblage pieces on my website store for sale, you can link that here www.denisecerro.com/assemblageart. I'm glad you enjoy the videos....thank you again! 🧡
So good!!! Thank you for sharing your process. I went thrifting today to pick up ephemera to make an assemblage. I am going to use an old tray I have as a substrate. I am so looking forward to trying this!

You are definitely making me smile this morning Cheryl...though I need to get out and replenish my odds & ends...also another fun scavenging project!
So enjoyed this trilogy and the glass cutting demo. Thank you. happy 2024. 🤍🤍🤍

Thanks so much on all counts Ann! Assemblage is so fun and creative to work with… enjoy and thank you for watching!🧡
