  • 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!

  • 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!
