Lou I’m so glad I found your channel. Can’t wait to try this technique. You were very thorough in your explanations.
I've found that I'm really good at hot mess... thanks for the video, there's still hope for me!
First off just saw all your products for the first time, wow want everything 😂. This page is really beautiful. Thank you for the step by step. Going to give it a go.❤
I don't usually watch this type of video, not sure why as I REALLY enjoyed watching you create this gorgeous piece! 😊 I love the mixed media art and have enjoyed making a couple of things myself. This is so beautiful tho and has given me soooo many ideas! Thank you for the inspiration, LOVED watching! 💕
Love this tutorial....great info, this will give me more purpose in my mixed media instead of my usual ,,,thank you!
That wall of brushes for your oxides 😮 LOVE
I really like the way you teach. ♥️ Thanks
This is excellent, and so VERY helpful! Breaking it down into understandable steps makes it look so easy and takes the "intimidation" factor out of it ... I am wanting to jump in to mixed media, and now feel I can. Thank you for taking the time to do this for us (and beautiful piece BTW 😊)
Lou, I just discovered you today, and am a cardmaker who has been intimidated by even the words "Mixed Media". However....YOUR WONDERFUL, INFORMATIVE video has helped me to create a mixe media card today! I could not be happier! I so very much appreciate you sharing your talent, and expressing it in easy to understand instructions. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I will use your techniques over and over!
Exactly what I would have said ! Thank you very much, Lou. I will certainly try.
So well articulated Lou!! This is a fantastic way to explain mixed media for those afraid to start!!
Thank you, Lou for a fantastic beginner’s video to introduce us to Mixed Media! I have already stepped up my game!
Hi from Northern Idaho USA. ❤Thanks for showing beginners how to use mix media.
I have watched so many videos on this topic. Yours is the best. Thank you for the step-by-step instructions.
THANKS so so much for this video. VERY helpful as others have noted. So many tips. I really like the dropping of crumbled paper to determine focal area......so simple, yet effective. Something I will definitely remember and do!
Mixed media? As a newbie crafter I'd never heard that phrase. I'm going to try this straight away and although I'm not at all artistic, I think I might be able to manage this 🤞. Thank you so much for a clear, complete tutorial, Just what I needed😊
Progetto stupendo!! Lo adoro!❤❤❤
Always wanted to try mixed media, it looks fun and most are really beautiful. My problem has been I never knew where or how to start. You have made it seem so much easier than I thought. Thanks.
First time seeing one of your videos. It made my heart race! Subscribed immediately. Thank you for your fantastic tutorial and for the inspiration!
Great tips! Beautiful design and color.
I'm going to have a go at this. Just to have fun No seriousness.😊
Brilliant tutorial, I have never tried this artistic expression. It really is helpful the way you explain everything. So, another door opens. Of course we can use the information from your oxide combos to get started! Thank you so much for the inspiration and for not digressing into hours of chit chat! ❤️
I have just stumbled across this video. I was not looking for this, however, just wow wow wow. I am making a birthday card for a friend this week, and she loves mixed media. Now I will look like a pro. Thank you so very much ❤
Lou- I just love love love your techniques- thank you so much!! I’ve got a busy day today- but now I really just want to play in my craft room and do mixed medium. You truly are an amazing teacher- too bad your across the pond from me- I would love to spend time with you!!
Great tutorial. I have no confidence that anything mixed media i do will look presentable! this has encouraged me. So clearly explained. More please!!! Thank you.
This video was very helpful to me as a beginner in mixed media. Knowing some of the step-by-step instructions gives me the confidence to begin. Then I can branch out. Thank you very much for this video.
This piece just kept "blooming" & exploding into a ❤️🔥 passionate motion. I ",wont be scared" to use the dark as a pop. Its depth was shocking, & completes this beauty. Thank you for sharing such knowledge 🥰
Hi Lou! I have subscribed, having come across you via Christine Stokes and the challenge! Amazing to see how everyone uses tools, media, colours etc and creates such variety. It's like the equivalent of the expression of words in many ways. I can't think of the term I need... Um... anyway, it's very inspiring and TFS for those STEPS! Wow, that dear lady is the key to mixed media! 🙏You are a gem!
Beautiful work! I’m a beginner with mixed media in the US. Thank you for your very detailed and helpful video.
This is one of the best mixed media instructionals. Thank you.
BRILLIANT tip to use the crumpled up paper towel to define white space ❤
Thank you for another inspiring tutorial, I’m getting braver by the minute!
This video is so educational, I'm so glad I've found you.
I adore this video Lou! Thank you for showing us how to pull it together! Mine up to now have been too random. I have hope!!! 💕

This is so beautiful. I love all the steps and how you went through each one of them to bring it all together. Definitely something I would love to do. ❤❤❤
I really loved this video. I've done a few mixed media pages, but I don't usually have a plan and it ends up looking too busy and not composed. This video really helped by breaking down steps I can follow. Your mixed media projects are always so pretty. Tyfs!
This was the most in depth but basic tutorial for a true beginner in mixed media. I am fascinated with the mixed media genre of art but have been quite intimidated by it. Thank you for this because I now feel like I can give it a try. Even though I don’t have the exact items you have, I have a lot of similar and I’m anxious to give it a try. Thanks again! 🫶🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎
Absolutely beautiful ❤❤
