I have watched these several times every time I do I pick up on something different... What I love seeing is you fiddling working out where things go and stuff like that more than the glueing down but I just love seeing how your mind works and how u create... Thanks Leanne mwah
I love all your mixed media canvas, especially this one. I haven't tried doing one yet, but I can't wait to try this. I love trying something new. Keep up the fabulous work Lee. Carmen
I would SO love to watch you do an independent tutorial of how to assemble the three dimensional bird cage! That would be SO amazingly helpful, since you're so clear and precise in your tutorials!
Wonderful, I am so happy you did this. I have a picture on wood of a bowl of fruit, ready for the Goodwill and have a pic of my mom (the oldest in the family) with our youngest grandchild, that I wanted to do a layout for. Well I am taking the picture out of the Goodwill bag and getting started covering it and getting my layout done and ready for hanging. I can't thank you enough for the inspiration!!!!
I am just getting started on mixed-media so I really appreciate your A-Z instructions. I can hardly wait to try it myself. I look forward to watching more of your videos. thank you so much
I really enjoy watching the start to finish canvas (or anything really) It shows your process - warts and all but mainly why and how you change things along the way - fascinating! thank you - another gorgeous piece of art. TFS - Julie
It is so worth using some of my available web time to watch you create your pieces of art. I have been inspired to try my hand at collage because of your videos. I am doing boxes and they are coming along. Thank you so much!
Hello Leanne! Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial. I didn't skip a second of it! Learned so much of it and I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one to make little mistakes that become "little accidents on the path of creation" and that work out so well in the end. I'm in the middle of a creative flow right now and this tutorial sure is a great help to me. You made an amazing canvas collage with wonderful colours. It is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing. Hugz, Els.
This is the first video of yours I've watched and I am amazed at how labor intensive your work is...the result is absolutely gorgeous! What an incredible artist you are and you're also a very good teacher. Thanks so much for all the inspiration.
Hello Mommy Leanne, the canvas came out so lovely. I love the pastels and the beautiful bird cage that you made. Very shabby chic looking, good job on another amazing creation. By the way my hubby started up again on my room, the electricians are coming this weekend, then drywall next week . Yeah!!!!! Thanks for sharing start to finish, take care. Leanne S.
Hi Leanne. This canvas is stunning. Your friend will treasure it. Thank you so much for doing the start to finish videos. I hope you have a beautiful week. Hugs. Shan
Super gorgeous project. Love the soft colors and all the embellishment. I just mixed my first batch of your texture paste using the baby powder. I thought I would be crafting today, but no luck. Hope to use it really soon. Thanks for that tutorial. Blessing, Sherain
Beautiful canvas, Leanne. I like the soft colors on this canvas. I love all of your work but am constantly inspired by your mixed media canvases. I have started my first one and it is taking me awhile but I keep watching your vids. for inspiration. I purchased the baby powder for the texture paste and can't wait to try it. TFS . Deborah
Another Gorgeous piece!! Love the soft colors you used. Thanks for showing how to make a bird cage. I will def try that. You have given me so much inspiration, techniques, and useful tips? I can't thank you enough! TFS,
So pretty. I can't believe that it was a $1.00 store canvas. Wonderful idea. Your do such beautiful work. Love the colors. Love the glimmer mist at the end. TFS :)
I love your work as usual. TFS and I love your start to finish with the voice over. I think you edit just the right amount. Even though I have a couple of other mini album projects started right now I think I'm going to start another canvas. I've been itching to for a while now. I have a drawing I've done that I want to incorporate to a canvas. Thanks for watching my video of the last one I did. You are a master layerer. Okay that's probably not a word but your layering skills amaze me.
TFS! I love to watch the process of your creations. Thank you foe explaining the glueing and "gesso-ing" also. I'm new to mixed media and it helps a lot to be able to understand the reasoning behind why you use which ones you use. Absolutely Beautiful!!
The colors are gorgeous. You do an amazing job of blending! Still trying to get this technique myself! Thanks so much for the inspiration and for sharing!
Wow such wonderful talent!! I love watching your hands create. And yes I do like watching you glue the different parts to the canvas as I don't have the talent to know just where to put things and watching every one you do is teaching me how. Hope you make lots more videos like this one. Hugs, Sherry
I've probably already commented. But I watched it again! I LOVE THIS. My favorite of all video's I've seen. I hope you have hung this up in your home somewhere!
Amazing as always... Love it not a big fun of the lighter colours but love the work and detail put into it,,, know why u did those colours well done... U made me like the combo when done... I love your start to finishes the parts when ur fiddling not so much the glue stages ... Also love seeing it as u go through... The voiceover telling us is great too... I love your videos... But yeah would love to see more of u deciding what to do and what to use... Thanks sara
Thank you so very much for making a T.Your work ALWAYS blows me away.You WOWED me stepping out of that dark side (LOL) as you say you always seem to do.I LOVE IT.I ALWAYS love your work.And what you showed us to do with that birdcage is like a aha moment.I need that.My sons' last name are Byrd.I am always doing things with birds for them and now my grand daughters.Lol.So guess I have that to work on in next yr for them.TY.Here's sending ((SUNSHINE)) in your heart&soul today&love always.God bless
I love your canvas and the video. It, along with the Sweet November ones have given me the basis to do my first small canvas. I love your voice overs with your videos.
watched this several times. i love the voice over style of video.. i love your creativity and style.. your making me feel i wanna jump and start working on my canvas.. thanks for the video and for sharing it with us. artistic!! love it!!!
I'm glad I was able to watch this long video of yours. I had to basically watch it while I hold Sam by his ankle so he doesn't take off and fall off the bed! Lol!! Anyway, so so worth it!!! I love ur start to finish like always... Learned new techniques like highlighting ur lost objects in the canvas! And sooooo inspiring that I want to go into my craft cave and create one of these! You are amazing at everything you do!! I'll never ever miss any of ur videos ever again! Love ya!! *muah*
you must of had so much fun doin this canvas , its smashin....... i just love the colors so soft and pretty ...ty for sharing , i have yet to do one of these....Pauline x
Amazing! I've been thinking about trying mixed media because I have everything on hand. I must say, you put me over the edge with this piece. The colors are great. Thanks for the blow by blow vid. JIL
So inspirational and talented....its awesome to see your process from start to finished product....thanks for sharing and teaching us the skills to create our own works of art :-)
This turned out GORGEOUS Lee! Your editing was perfect and I love hearing you talk through your process! I am in the process of creating another mixed media canvas and will share when I am done...great job!
Very inspirational. Now I can buy some of the cheap flowers that I see and color them. Good ideal of using chip board to pop up chip board. I have learned a lot from you. Looking forward to viewing as you create. (hugs) Anita
This is beautiful. I love the finished result and all the layering you did. Gorgeous colours1 You are so talented. Congratulations on your pregnancy. Take care! As Mod Podge is so expensive, I have wondered if industrial PVA glue added to white paint would do the same thing. I am going to try it sometime (when I get around to finishing off some of my other projects - pity I have such a grasshopper mind with crafting) LOL! Greetings from England. xx
Beautiful. Love this and the tutorial is great. Love everything you did and created for the canvas. Definitely one of the prettiest ones I have seen so far. TFS.ana
There is nothing to change on the video!!! love how you do all the work from start to finish....thank you so much for doing this :) Do you mind if I try to make one of the bird houses? I love this Canvas !!!!! Your work is amazing!!!!!!
A nice twist on the birdcage would be to use copper or aluminum wire for the bars and use orange, brown, gray and black color in your texture to resemble "rust" (more red/orange at the joints).
Fantastic video, thank you ever so much with all your details. I especially loved the way you made the birdcage. Putting a bolt behind the bird to raise it, great tip. Thanks again
Thank you so much for this info and for taking the time to post this for me. I will be giving your recipe a try when I am ready to use MP again. Kind regards, Ealine. x
I am absolutely blown! Love your creativity. Please keep doing more videos. I love them! I'd like to know if gesso an be replaced with white acrylic paint??
omg leanne this is stunning!!! i'm a recent fan of yours, watched most of your videos and you've inspired me to make my first mixed media canvas! ofcourse, since i'm a beginner I'm a little low on supplies (no punches, die cutting machine,nothing!!) but I've started to bankrupt myself :P I still haven't gotten any punches or machine, so I cut everything out by hand! I also dont have any flowers, so I ended up making a bunch by hand! love your work keep crafting please!! love, from sunny malta :)
ps: I should have said what's great about your step by steps is seeing where/when you change your mind & why! This is SO inspiring & explains that it's okay to change direction, as you said "go with the flow.." Thanks again for amazing video. Crafty bubbles :))))
This is a superb creation; so restful, but strikingly beautiful with interest in every inch of the canvas. Please don't worry about the changes you make as you go along, it shows confidence in your skills. Loved it so much, I just had to subscribe!! :-) Can't wait to watch you other videos. Thank you for sharing with the world, you are truely gifted.
hi just wanted to let you know that you;ve have a new fan from holland lol. you said that the one glue is very toxic and smells very strong instead you could use the heavy gel medium from liquitex in the beginning it's white but it dries up clear and i glues almost everything with this stuff and it is not toxic!!! after it you can paint spray or take any medium on it which you prefer!! keep up your amazing work you rock xoxo petra
Oh Leigh, its beautiful, think I like it even more than your last one.... but maybe not... oh I just don't know, both fantastic in there own right ...lol Love it, love it, love it, great inspiration!! tfs
