LorriMarie I Love your Art, you are so brilliant at what you do, I’m binging again on your videos, see ya on the table.X💕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

When you said subscribe, I did. So glad I found you.

And here I am again 3 years later starting my 11th altered book, going over some old techniques I loved 😁

I agree with everything Neva said. No music is good. Your voice is soothing and just right. And your projects are purely wonderful.

Lorri Marie, I have to tell you how very very very much I enjoy all your tutorials and Fun pages. My 2018 News Years Resolution was to learn to CREATE and explore art. I asked for art supplies for Christmas. I have not thought of art since 3rd grade so I am very much a novice. I am now on my second altered book!!!! I am having so much fun with this. I watch and rewatch your videos with you fabulous pages. Your tutorials are perfect for a novice like me. I appreciate you Lorri Marie sharing your talent, ideas, and time.Thank you so much! You are the Best! P.S. So fun to hear about the weather in California at the beginning of your videos,too.😃 Karen (from Phila Pennsylvania )

No thumbs down from this kid 😀. I could watch and look at your work all day. In fact, today is a ‘headache day’ so I am binge watching some older videos for inspiration to keep working in my first altered book when I’m all good. Much love and hugs, Dianne.

First of all... thank you SO much for NOT having annoying background music. For me, that's so distracting. I love music, but not while I'm listening to instructions. The volume is always too loud or too low and I can always play background music here, if I so choose. Your voice is so soothing and calming and I love the quiet space in between, as well. And thanks for the info on how the comments, liking and clicking on the links works. Interesting. For me, your videos are pretty much perfect. Love the intro, editing, length. You don't try to be funny, but you say very funny things. Very impressed with your presentations. And the CONTENT!!! That's my favorite, but if all the other stuff doesn't work, the content is lost. To sum it all up, I'm a big fan!

I love your tutorials, you are so informative and I truly appreciate that you do NOT have music.

Love the mica sheets! So much fun to see the focal points within a frame....

First: thank you for not playing music🎶🚫 Second: I taught faux finishing for years.. lots of specialty brushes involved.., students sometimes borrowed and kept my brushes... without my knowledge... I found that dipping the end of the brushes in an unusual color helped everyone to remember whose brush was whose😽

First off all. I absolutely adore you're work. I was in a creative dip for so long. I came across you're channel and start working along with you. Dont have all the supplies but work with what I have. I finished one book almost and busy with number two!. So thank you so much for you're great videos!!I love the fact that's there is no music! 💖

Perfect mix of demo and instruction with all the repetition removed. Love your enthusiasm and fabulous ideas.

Ooh, another one I want to add to my first altered book. Thank you for sharing your talent.

I love this and am using it in my first book! Wanted a creative way to add photos from my mother's past...my book is a dedication to Mothers starting with my grandmother, mother and may have to end it with me...and start another book for me. Your videos have been so helpful in getting my creative juices flowing as inspiration was totally stuck in the beginning. Once I did the first page everything seems to start flowing from one to another. Thank you for being here LorriMarie! Oh and yes agree with other comments on no music. Its very distracting. Your videos are perfect as is, and even love it when you change your mind in the middle of a project. I do that sometimes a lot...lol

Wonderful ... Inspiring...lovely...fun...As usual you hit it out of the park. Many thanks

Thank you LorriMarie for your inspiration and easy to follow tutorials. And, THANK YOU for not playing music. I love your style of mixed media and altered books. Just an FYI your Amazon link for the craft mat actually links to transfer tape for transferring vinyl.

I realy love the way you explane us how to make those lovely altered books. And we all can use the things we have got around our tables. Nobody must buy anything special to try to make this books. Plese go on with your videos.

Never get tired of any of your videos

This is so awesome. I am really going to have to stop just watching and get busy and find a book to play in. I have tons of books, just need to choose one to work in. I guess I will also finally have to break down and buy some gesso. I like the fact that you don't have background music. Too many people have music that is not to my taste and then it makes it difficult to watch their videos. Thanks for taking the time to show us step by step how to do a certain technique. I appreciate the effort it takes to do that.

I love your stuff. You are an excellent artist. I totally love watching you.

Wonderful..I wish there was more than just a like button..this needs some Love, Love, Love 💗💗💗

THANKS FOR SHARING.....AND THANK YOU FOR NO MUSIC!

I can’t imagine why someone would do thumbs down. I love your instructions. You make everything so clear. Thanks for the video.

You make everything look easy to do but this looks very difficult. All I can say is, “WOW!”

Just finished this ...... so loved doing it thank you LM !!!! Had to improvise ..... had to staple plastic sheet (not mica) to page and was such fun choosing the little pics 😊😊❤

Project, right up my alley...thanks for reminding me of my beginnings in altered books many years ago. It's good to be inspired again. Thanks. Great project!

Wonderful spread. I love your presentation especially the no music. People can't seem to do anything without music these days. The mica is yummy but substitutes would also look good. Thank you. 🦋

I'm having a go at this today using old photos and acylic sheet. Really enjoy your tutorials, a must on a 'can't sleep' night. Great page spread. Tfs x

Love your videos. Your techniques are just amazing. Thank you for your time and your tutorials.

This just might be my favorite project yet! I got some mica circles from an etsy shop a while back. Maybe I'll make portholes! Love love love it!

I've been reviewing your tutorials on making windows. I didn't have mica or screen, but I had a piece of wire garden fence similar to a very heavy hail screen. Well of course I had to use it! It took a lot of tacky glue and determination, but it came out great. Thanks LorriMArie, for inspiring me to work with what I have and not be afraid.

Love this. Can wait to play!

I just found you, such a wonderful discovery! I'm so grateful you are sharing your talent, creativity, and expertise through this outlet. Love how you freely spread all that gesso and paint, then it becomes something so amazing. I can't wait to delve into making my first altered book!

LorriMarie I have just done this one but not with Mica, with an Actertate! I can not tell you more how I love these tutorials. Are you aware that this is better than anything else I have done before. Its like you dropped from heaven with all these yummy challenges! My book is so fat now and won't close, almost done! Thank you for you and these tutorials! Much love!

You are an AMAZING teacher!

Always thumbs up from me , because everything about you is Amazing, see ya on the table LorriMarie 💕

I think I love this art, most, and soon i have look at all yours video. CarinaSchembri//Sweden/Skurup

I have been binge watching your videos for the last few days and I love your channel! I followed your foiled cover video and loved what I made but had some issues with the book so changed speeds. I love how you inspire me to create without having to plan it all, I feel more intuitive after every video I watch. much​ love from the UK Hayley x

I found your altered book videos last night and have absolutely fallen in love with them... and you! I’ve started an altered book but am having some difficulty finding interesting “focal points” and really don’t want to print them out because that just seems a little lame. I know people probably ask you about where you get your focal points all the time, but I’d rather be watching more of your videos than scrolling through comments!! Thanks so much, keep up the amazing content :)

I know it's a very old video, but your energy and work are so inspiring to me. I hope I'm half as cool one day haha

Looked on Amazon for mica sheets yesterday. Didn't see any big sheets. Michael's and Joann's didn't have any. I a inspired to do this in my book I started!

I agree , no music , please. I love listening to you. You are so calm and soothing. You showed a page in an other video that had 3 holes on one side and a pocket on the other. Did you do a video for that page?

LM, Don't know if it's the windows or the colors, but I think this is one of my top favorites you have done thus far! I have just ordered more of the mica per your Amazon site! Always found it fascinating, but never sure how to use it. Please in upcoming segments, show us more ideas with it! Yippeeee!! Love, love you and your instruction!

I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying your videos!!! I only found you a few days ago, and can't stop watching what you're doing. Going to tell everyone I know about your channel!

Off to the salt mines, but had to watch as much of this as I can first!!~ I LOOOVE the look and colors on these two pages. Cannot wait to try my hand at it. You are the best Tootsie! Thank you

Wonderful Windows! 🖼

woo almost finished this project you bet this was a challenge but even though I changed mine a little I am so thrilled with how it looks thanks for all the inspiration Lorriemarie

It is fun to listen to you teach and I thank you for no music!..l.l subscribed

hi LorriMarie I think you are very inspiring and I have even started making a book of ideas from you in the middle of my book, I have pockets I'm doing and two sides with two windows that I have to put in in my book

Love the mica ❤️

Do watercolour and pen painting and crafts. And have started art journals this year. Love how u do your books.

Another amazing project... thanks

Thank you, thank you for sharing your amazing beautiful mind to create this project 😍 love this one 🇳🇱

back at the table ....might be my 4th plate of this one lol...I NEVER CAN GET ENOUGH ,

Hi, Lorri-Marie! TFS!!!!!! This was terrific!!!! Two questions/comments: 1). I would feel that you were safer if you rested your project on a self-healing cutting mat when you are using a blade. 😎 2). I am thinking of trying to alter a book by taking a baby step, literally: by using a child’s board book as the base. Have you ever done this? My concern is the slick coating on the original pages. The top picture layer is hard to remove quickly/efficiently. I have laid down a layer of gesso on top of the slick surface. I hope this will provide enough secure traction/key for the subsequent layers to adhere to. Advice welcome! Your videos are great! Your calm voice and clear instructions remind me of another favorite KZfaqr: Ginger Ropp (My Sister’s Scrapper). Her tutorials led me to successful papercrafting mini-albums and tags. Following yours is the next step for me. Thanks, and also I’m jealous that you live in the SF area.

I am new to your videos. I’m in love with them and you, It drives my husband nuts since he’s been after me to empty and throw out my huge flat file and here I am buying tons of new supplies! Looking forward to starting an altered book and have a few questions. Do you do the front and back covers first? I don’t know where to start. Doesn’t ripping out from the center of ea. Signature weaken the book? I’m doing that and the threads are getting loose. Looking forward to more of you, I’m addicted. Anybody tell you you look like Annette Benning? You are a terrific teacher! Keep it up!!

Very interesting! Out of all the craft supplies I have, and believe me it’s A LOT,....hoarder status over here....I’ve never seen or worked with mica. I did add it to my cart in Amazon off of your supply list, thank you for including that. Also, I shared this video on a couple of mixed media Facebook groups I belong to so I hope it will inspire others and help you as well! Thanks again for sharing! ~~Dana~~

This is so wonderful! I truly appreciate you showing us how to do each step and also cutting over to the next step so that we aren’t watching you glue for hours, haha! Of course, I will be doing all the steps for hours myself because this is awesome and I must get it done in my own book! I wish I had someone to share it with...alas, I have no Journal buddies. But I did subscribe! I came over from a brilliant video by Ina Salsbury in which she gave you credit for the ideas. So, of course, I subscribed to her, too. So now, I am in the enviable position of having found two great, inventive artists on the same day with a ton of beautiful videos to watch! Thank you so much!

LorriMarie, You are an inspiration, you work so hard. I really like this page, where do you buy the mica sheets, I've never seen them anywhere? You deserve a great vacation this summer for all the great videos you have made for us to enjoy. Blessings! ❤️😊❤️

Ok used your link for mica tiles. Ordering some and a baby blue brush!

Thanks so much! Iam on the same "page" as the darker side! I can't wait for summer to to garages!!!!!! Mpls is an awesome arty town!!!!!

SO COOL PAGES!!!!!

Love your projects! Have been going back to watch all your vids, one by one. Is that store bought Gesso or do you make your own? 💚 see you on the table!

Dearest LorriMarie... I SO love your videos - ALL your videos. So much fun watching your process. And I'm in love with your Stabilo

Hi LorriMarie you have so great Ideas 😀look realy good ❤hugs Ellen

Wow!!!! Wonderful...

What a wonderful idea! This has to go in my latest lapbook, but I'll have to use acetate as the mica is too rigid. I'm still working on my first altered book so I'm catching up on your videos. They're brilliant and so inspiring!

I love your work it's amazing!

Another beautiful inventive page in your super cool journal. I subscribed to your channel about 1 month ago and find great inspiration in your work. I love your perfectly imperfect intuitive approach to your art as it's right up my alley. I have been watching pretty much all of your videos and love your presentation. I am a UTube creator as well. Big Hugs and greetings from Colorado. And thanks LorriMarie for sharing your talent. : )

Love it very good job .....

😱😈⁉️ sorry about your brush they don’t come cheap... Another awesome project. You make those videos faster than I can watch them...keep them coming... thx

Question: I'm curious about mica, what is the difference you notice between using mica vs. acetate?

OMG! OMG! OMG!!!!!! Looooooooovvvvveeeeeee these!!!!!! (PS: I did it! the studio has been found!) {BTW: Organizing the crap out of it! It’s so hard for us (formerly known as Junk or Collage artists) MIXED Medium Artists to do sometimes! I have 3 doz clear plastic shoeboxes procured -so far! Lol}. Cant wait to go through EVERY video again - this time WITH YOU!!

Fun & Fabulous! . . . as usual!

Quelle idée originale !! mais pas facile de trouver des petites feuilles de mica

Thumbs up for sure 😻

I am loving this idea, do you think that a heavy acetate would work instead of mica. I want to use what I have. As usual keep up the great ideas and sharing of your underpants, Carol

great job!

So very worth it! Looks fantastic. tfs

I have a couple of ties that were my cousin’s who died of pancreatic cancer. I’d love to use them in my journals & some keepsake cards for his kids. Any suggestions? Or have you used the fabric from ties in any of your work? I’d love to see this incorporated if possible. I’ll share your videos more LorriMarie, anything to grow this yummy delicious village! ✌🏽💓

Hi Lorri Marie Here is Gabriele from Heidelberg again. My book is nearly done- only some Pages left.. I love it . But I want to put it in a selfmade box because I don't want it squeed in the bookbord.Could you please make a tutorial? Thank you and may be I see you on the table . Bye

I see you use the black masking tape which sounds like duct tape. Is it the same? could I use that instead? and if I dont have mica can I use the plastic from food trays?

Love! Can’t wait to try, but silly question, mica, acetate, salad container? Does the mica have a slight color tinge?

Quick question. What magazines would you recommend for someone wanting yummy ephemera?

LUV!

LorriMarie can you tell me what number exacto knife that you use. I bought one I can't remember there's like a number one and a number 2 blade. But anyhow I noticed there were like four different exacto knives and I was wondering if you could tell me which one you're using in this video? I think the one I have is smaller than yours and I have to press down really hard I think I need a bigger and sharper blade...

This is just me being curious. I have never used the mica sheets, is there a reason you attached it to one side instead of putting it between two pieces of cardboard? I really loved this project. Thank you for sharing.

Love it 😁😊

Curious, why do you waste your underpants if you are just covering them up?

Is the mica sharp edged? Like could I use it on a kids project? (My daughter is 8 ) I’m just curious cause that stuff looks like loads of fun

Hi LorieMarie. Another fun project I look forward to trying. Wondering though about the black masking tape of which I can not locate in Vancouver, BC. Is there any reason it's better to use than duct tape?

I am working on a commemorative collage for my niece. Her dad just passed. He liked to hunt and I am having a terrible time trying to find pieces that works together. Suggestions would be so nice. Thanks

Please Miss can I asked a question......could you leave the mica as it was ,or would it become damaged, or are the edges too sharp .Great page

What is Mica made from? Where do you get it?

36:11 into this video before you turn to the page working on there’s a page 2 page spread befor Project at hand can you show us how to do that page

Where do you sell your art pieces?

love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

love it

Wait; can't you use that magazine page that you threw away in another project? :) I LOVE watching your videos!

I love it but i would like to leave it more blue ...
