    I've been terribly down due to an illness & the current state of the world. Thinking crafting videos might lift my spirits & provide a distraction, I pulled up my "Favorite Creators" playlist. Well, I had forgotten how lovely it is to hear Nina's voice & watch her create! It was similar to reconnecting with a charming friend. An hour & several videos later, & my mood is *much* improved. I'm off to my crafting corner now. A million thanks to all you lovely creative souls who live in my phone! May we all stay safe, healthy, & hopeful.
    With gratitude,
    Rebecca in Alabama
    Apologies if this post is overly personal & mushy. I'm a southern belle...its kind of "our thing." 😉

      Thank you so much for your kind words Rebecca. It’s been a very depressing year in so many ways hasn’t it and I’m sorry you’ve been unwell on top of it all. It’s good to hear that you’ve found some enjoyment from the crafting community. I think it’s keeping a lot of us going during these difficult times. Stay safe and Happy Crafting 💕

    Oh my! How did I overlook this video until now??? I would never have dreamed that the wall stickers would turn out so beautifully with just a few enhancements. And the printables were absolutely gorgeous! And then it happened... I paused the video at the end before commenting, so I could click the link for the Graphics Fairy. Yes, I went down that rabbit hole! Almost 2 hours later, I am finally returning to leave a comment on this video. 😊 Nina, this was a very lovely project and I thank you for tips, expertise, enjoyment and the link to the GF website! Janet ❤🦋💕

    There is something about watching fussy cutting is very calming. I have no idea why. When I was working a very high stress job, I used to cut out paperdolls, and found that to be very relaxing, also. Really like your videos, they are fun. You have excellent ideas.

    I love your butterflies. Lumiere paint has been my absolute favorite paint for over 15 years. I've got some colors in bigger pots, and even after 11 year of not using any of my art supplies they were still good, and you can guess which was one of the first things I bought when I felt doing creative stuff again: more colors of lumiere paint. Thanks for some new ideas to make more butterflies. Hugs from the Netherlands, keep safe and healthy.

    • @NinaRibenaMixedMedia
      @NinaRibenaMixedMedia  4 года назад +3

      Thanks so much Tonia, I can’t believe I had this beautiful paint hidden away for so long! When I first purchased it I thought I was buying the Piñata alcohol inks, which I now also own and are wonderful too. Will definitely be using these more ❤️

    These beautiful butterflies will be fun embellishments to play with. BTW, boys and bugs go together, don’t they. I have to admit, I probably threw a beetle or two at my sister, when I was a young one. Just returned home after a long haul. Once I recover, you’ll be hearing from me. Thanks, Nina.

    I've just had a weird experience given what you said about the dead beetle and what you've been making. The video had just finished playing when I saw something at the periphary of my vision. It was a butterfly inside the window! Fortunately alive and fluttering. I was doing something with a 12 x 12 piece of paper so I was able to assist it outside.
    Anyway fantastic video. TFS.

    • @NinaRibenaMixedMedia

    Nina, your butterflies came out beautifully. I love both types. I am wondering why you did not sandwich the antenna between the double butterflies, there must be a reason? I finally got to see my mother in assisted living and she did not know who I was for the first half of the visit and now does not remember me being there. But she does remember her daughter Debbie makes and brings here all kinds of pretty cards and art for her walls. So I will make her a swarm of butterflies. Thanks Nina, have a great week.

    • @NinaRibenaMixedMedia
      @NinaRibenaMixedMedia  4 года назад

      Good morning Debbie. I was initially intending to sandwich the antennae between the two layers, but the abdomen wouldn’t have laid completely flat and that would have bugged me, so I decided to glue them on the under side instead as you won’t see once they are glued to a project. It’s such a shame to hear about your mother, but I’m glad she remembers Debbie who makes pretty things. I think a swarm of butterflies is a wonderful idea 🦋🦋🦋💕

    • @bonnerdebbie

    Good morning nina, we all love butterflies. ..they are delicate, colourful, bring lightness, are symbolic and are almost always in place in lots of projects. Loved how you worked on them. They look so pretty. Almost as if they could fly away any minute..loved the vintage ones, going to look them up. Do you know the work of a youtuber called berber van gorp, a dutch girl, she incorperates butterflies in almost every thing she creates, I find her work so interesting. Dear nina, have a good week, stay safe and butterfly through the days...love lena xxx
