Napkin Scraps into Ephemera

- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- It's the beginning of the year and like many other creative people I'm looking around my studio and deciding how to deal with the scraps from the year before in an effort to create some fresh space for the coming creations.

Time spent watching you is always a pleasure, no matter how long or how short. You are a true gem of an artist! Hugs ❤
Thank you so much 😊
Lovely as always. 2024 is my year of just doing. No more just watching and thinking I should do that. Because I watch artists from all over the world (especially the UK), I find I’ve started to use words or phrases. I quite like being different. Thanks for sharing.
These turned out fabulous. Love them. And all your 'elements'.
Thank you for explaining your process Happy New Year
Happy new year!
I loved seeing your artistic process. Very enjoyable video 🥰
Thank you so much!
I keep forgetting to use my napkins which is a shame because they are so beautiful
I don't understand when you say you are looking through an iPad. Surely as you are standing there you can see your hands. Maybe if you explained your filming setup? Enjoying your videos!
Sarah, as I’m standing the iPad is approx chest height so it is above my project and then I look down on my iPad screen as I create. I’m 6’1” tall so if I had my iPad at head level it’s to far away to share detail……..zooming in sometimes creates other problems.
Don't you feel thar some of our best work comes from procrastination? To me that's part of the creative process. Never apologize for taking time to do what you feel makes your creations better.
Hi Ceri I have been following your channel for a while and you have inspired me so much. However I do have a little tip for you and this is through my own trials and tribulations; instead of using cling film try a ziplock freezer bag, they work the same and you can wash the pritt-stick off and reuse them, saving money and the environment 😊 it works for me ❤ Michelle ❤️
Great idea, thank you Michelle
Ceri, it’s always nice to see those who are processing the “struggle “ and don’t edit that out. It gives me hope for my own moments! I love this idea for using up the napkins and will be doing this sometime down the road.
I’m so enjoying your videos. I am overawed with your collections of labels and butterflies etc ! I don’t have enough years left in my life to collect that many😂😂
I love to listen to your calm voice. So many people on the internet are speaking loud and like they are in a hurry all the time. I have an hearing problem, so its very difficult to understand what someones is saying when it goes so quick. And I like your crafting too. It's very inspiring. Thank you for all those wonderful videos.
Thank you! 😊
OH MY GOSH! I can't wait to do this! I have so many napkins, so many book pages and so many ugly 12x12 pages! Brilliant!
I agree I don’t always want to listen to a whole video but I am enjoying listening to your voice as you explain your methods. Thank you for making it interesting. I am inspired. Beautiful art!
I appreciate that
In the UK there is an online shop called the Napkin shop where you can buy single napkins, they cost about 34p each.
Thanks, I didn't know that. I live in Ireland so quicker than the US
That's great! ♥️ I wonder if they ship to the U.S.?
Chinese new year is 10th of february
Ceri I laughed out loud about your American words. I have lived in all regions of America and have picked up all the colloquial words. Now, I watch many youtubers from Great Britain and my new words are dodgy, Figity, knackered around, and many others. I love❤ your process videos. I am a late bloomer in the art world, but I am enjoying it.
My current favorite Britishism is "chuffed"😅
Just beautiful. Such a great process, embarrassed to admit I haven’t seen the plastic wrap use to smooth over the napkins. Genius. #AlwaysSaveTheButterflies lol I think it’s written in ancient writings that it’s a huge sin to guillotine a butterfly lol 🤣
Lol
You are a beautiful person Ceri. Thank you for this well spoken, from the heart video.
Beautiful! You have developed a gorgeous and very distinctive style. When Gayle A shared your card to her on her video the other day she didn’t need to say who it was from. It was obvious. 😊
Thank you so much!
You have some beautiful napkins, I was enjoying watching you go through them. Sadly, Bed Bath and Beyond closed their stores but there’s a few stores here that have some nice napkins. Another great inspirational video, Ceri, time to get out the napkins! ❤
I love your work. Sometimes I feel like I am right there sitting beside you watching you. Easy to watch you. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome
I look forward to more.
Ceri: I simply like what you did. No crafter should ever apologize for anything that happens on a video. I feel very strong on that point. Videos are time consuming and are not always easy to produce. The viewer needs to understand that. Carol-GofG from California
Thank you Carol
I really like how you did the piercing of the napkins. They made some beautiful cards.
I absolutely love your master-boards and the fact that you cut them up and then decorate your tags, pockets etc. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Connie
Great work Ceri. I don’t have 3 drawers of napkins but suddenly I fell the need to play with the ones I have
I always enjoy your videos and would never skip or speed up. I like hearing what you share (on or off the subject of crafting) and the tips you have about different processes. Your videos are never too long. Also I liked seeing how you handled and solved the problem of not liking anything you tried on the last tag. It's helpful and great for learning to see how you came to a conclusion. Also, that is a lot of comments to deal with while you have so much going on. Maybe just a thumbs up unless there's a question. I think people will understand. You're only one person and can only do so much. Thank you for your hard work! ❤
You are always inspiring, Ceri. Love your "think throughs" as they encourage me to try, and also to not be so hard on myself. Your work is lovely, as usual. Thank you. 💐 🙏🏽💞
Sooo pretty! That rose napkin is STUNNING!! I have some music sheets and book pages that I mod podged napkins on that I like to use in my junk journals too! I enjoyed this video! Thank you for sharing! 🥰🥰
Me too!
What a great way to start the new year :)))
Thank you, Ceri and A Very Happy, Creative, And Healthy New Year 2024❤
Same to you.
What a good idea to sort left-over napkin pieces in a see-through packeg. You're so darn good with your trillion ideas. Thanks Ceri. Welcome to a New Year.🎉 2024.
Happy new year Elizabeth.
I loved the result in each one.
I love this technique. Tfs. I agree with you about social media taking up a lot of time, if you don't watch out. I, too, love Pinterest!
Thank you so much for this demonstration and for the tips on decoupaging with napkins. I love this project! I hope you're staying warm and well!☃️
Thank you! Will do!
Thank you for sharing your methods. You’ve taught me to be fearless
Great video. I love to watch your process. The trick with the cling film is genius. Thank you for sharing. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
I really loved this video and what you've created!!!
Just finished a napkin collage. Thanks for the inspiration!
Yes heard of it in the last 12 months and I’m not going anywhere but my craft and household stuff was chocking me. I didn’t have family and thought my nieces and nephews wouldn’t thank me. So have spent about 3 months doing one drawer or one cupboard at a time. It’s been fantastic and made the place less cluttered and easier to clean and I feel so much better. Great idea and then you can just focus on a smaller area of craft etc.
Wonderful
Whenever I’m too tired to craft I watch you to do it virtually. 🙂
Me too! Makes me feel like I have accomplished something. Lol
and when I don't know how to craft, I watch you and do it virtually.🙂
Ceri...this is just beautiful. I have many napkins and can't wait to try this. Thank you for all your hints and tips with the napkins also. Happy 2024 to you and Biscuit!
Happy new year.
I watch double speed but I understand everything. Just got used to it. Saves me time.
All your ephemera turned out so pretty. Love how you used scrap pieces of napkin.
TFS❤
Hi Ceri! Well, YT and the universe have thrown us together again. Earlier today I was going through my napkins and making some card bases for future projects. It seems like there is some connection between Cardiff and Oregon. So, I have subscribed to your channel and am ready for wherever the ride is taking us... Woo Hoo!!!
Welcome.
Ceri, unfortunately Bed, Bath, and Beyond is gone😢😢 🤗💖🦋
Not only is your art stunning but I just love your voice.
Thank you
Using the plastic wrap is brilliant!
Hi Ceri, I loved watching your video this morning while having my Latte. Lattes are a habit I formed during my walk/bus trip across the Camino de Santiago in 2018. You and Gayle seem to be such good friends, when are you going to visit her in Montana or will she come to Wales? Just wondering. I am certain it would be fun good videos to have you working on a project in the same place. Hugs from Texas.
We’ve tried to meet several times, first time the pandemic happened, second time the costs of going to meet at a large American craft show proved to much for us, third time I was supposed to go to a retreat with Gayle but life events got in the way……….one day we will meet and yes there’ll be videos.
Chinese New Year is Saturday, February 10, 2024. Enjoy your dragons!
Thank you
That would have been beautiful as a picture in a frame.
Ceri I like the way you use your creativity to enhance the papers. You're very inspiring!
Thank you so much!
Great lesson! I'm looking forward to trying this.
Very nice! I do have to agree the struggle is real! I haven't been watching your channel for very long but I am enjoying it very much!
After watching this video made one as per your instructions and it worked beautifully! Thank you so much for your concise directions and that you include every hint you can. I am now watching everything you have put out there!
Glad it helped!
I never get tired of listening to you and I find I can take something of what you show or teach me and use it in my crafting. I'm very disorganized and I'm not super talented but I enjoy the process so I continue on but I really enjoy your videos
Have fun Maddie
I've just been using up scraps on cardstock junk mail, to make masterboards, adding napkin scraps is a great idea, thanks for the inspiration!! 💜💜💜
Thanks for the idea using napkins. I love these!
These turned out absolutely beautiful💐🦋
Thanks so much 😊
I just want to make a I just found you this evening and I will be back. You said you got some napkins bath bed & beyond about 3 months ago it's just a information update
Brilliant trick of burnishing using the plastic wrap!
The lighting is absolutely fine! I'm glad you didn't discard this video.
Hey Ceri! I too get caught up in social media for hours if I'm not careful. Okay, so the saran wrap over the napkin... brilliant! I've never seen that before 😊 Beautiful master board my friend 👏
Those all turned out beautifully. And yes . . . that is Virginia. 😊
You are doing a great job, no apologies on taking too much time. I'm loving it!
Thank you! 😊
this is lovely. great idea. thank you. judy from Canada
Just beautiful, I could frame it and hang it whole without cutting it. ❤
I have really enjoyed watching your process.
It’s cold and wet here too in Portland Oregon!
Love this cuz I have sooo many napkins I need to use and especially scraps
very interesting watching you work!😊
Appreciate your hints on applying the napkins.
I love this idea of different bits of napkin on a masterboard with book pages and/or music sheets. Your one is just lovely. It would be super to scan it so you can print off more copies for journal pages or backgrounds. I will definitely be trying this out so thanks for sharing.
That's a great idea
wow what a wonderful video - thank you so much xx
Thank you for a great idea for using up napkins, like you I have quite a collection. You have given me so many ideas for my journals and other craft projects and for that I thank you. Xxx🦋🦋🦋
I loved your warrior mask. Luv'd it! 🎉❤
I could watch you go through this process for hours on end. ❤ Belinda xxx
Great items created! Instead of using cling-film I find using a plastic glue-spreader (about 5 for £1 in poundshop) used lightly from the centre to the edge of napkins works well and also smooths any bobbly edges of the napkins . One spreader lasts forever for this. Also, if struggling with stickers, apply a bit of sellotape to the back and you can get hold of the front easier. Good for arthritic fingers...Thanks.
I ❤ this! The results are SO beautiful!
Happpy, Happy New Year Ceri!!! I hope you have the most wonderful and craft-filled new year ever. You have brought so much joy to me this past year and I have learned so much from you. I love the napkins on the masterboard. So much yumminess! The little baby butterflies are just perfect. I look forward to each video this new year. Thank you Ceri, for all the different techniques you show us. You are such a talented and very gifted artist in so many mediums. How wonderful you take the time and effort to share. Yes, Ceri, you are corret, Lynchburg is a city in Virginia, USA. Take care, sending blessings to you and yours, Biscuit too!
Thank you from Biscuit and I.
Wonderful inspiration, thanks Ceri!
Just discovered your channel. Loving it!❤️Happy New Year from Latrobe, PA in the US.
Happy new year!!
I just discovered his channel too. I’m also from Pa - The Lehigh Valley
Love how these turned out. I like the darker ink! I snagged a few bird napkins at a Christmas party, now have to find the pocket I put them in! Thanks for the great video!
Have fun!
These are absolutely beautiful!
What a refreshing man! Your channel is lovely and just know that me and my little grandmother absolutely adore your channel and all the ideas you offer! Love from two Cuban girls - Gina and Zoraida
Thank you and love to you both.
Loving your technique!
Happy New Year. I so enjoy watching you make Collagens. Thank your sharing your time and talent with us.
You are so welcome
I LOVE you, your videos and watching you "make magic happen"! ❣️😉
Yay! Thank you!
All your ephemera turned out so beautiful☺
😮😊 it's really pretty
Dear Ceri...you handled my comment well. I respect that.
Joanne, thank you
Love these so much. Tfs
So fun, thanks❤
25:04 me! It's me with a scraps issue! I'm in recovery. 😜
Hi Darcy. I saw really cute valentine napkins in homesense. Not tempted. I might take a picture. 🎉❤
I think we all are if we’re honest.
Very enjoyable!
I can’t believe it never occurred to me to use up all my scrap napkins to make a master board! 😮Thanks for the inspiration! 😊
Lovely Ceri!!!
love the process
Awesome idea❤
Wow, so pretty!
BEAUTIFUL ❤
Beautiful Ceri! Unfortunately, I think all of the Bed, Bath, and Beyond stores have closed. I look for napkins everywhere anymore.
It’s hard to find napkins retail anymore! My two sources in USA were Tuesday Morning and Christmas Tree Shop (bought out by Bed Bath & Beyond). Boo hoo!!!
Both now out of business
A napkin swap would be fun!!!
Beautiful!
