Fabulous. I'm a real texture junkie so this is right up my street! One of my favourite things to use is the leaflets from packs of medication tablets. They come already accordion folded. Without unfolding them, I punch them with 2 sizes of holes with my Crop-a-Dile and then unfold them. They tear really well along the perforated lines. I lay the piece flat on another piece of paper and spray ink to colour them, or use acrylic paint - often the printing will still show through which adds interest. You end up with the painted piece, and also the underneath piece which has been stencilled. Sometimes I use a tiny single strip of this, tearing along two adjacent lines of holes and it looks almost like seaweed. Another absolute favourite texture, which you can also use to stencil with as you colour it, is paper mesh used for packaging. This is brown paper with little slits cut in it, and when you pull it, it opens up and gives a gorgeous scrunchy bulky texture. I've also used this to press down onto the gel plate. It looks great with gilding wax rubbed on, or dry painting, etc. Most of my mixed media/collage pages feature these two materials - free and fabulous! Like you, I adore corrugated cardboard too. When you pull off the paper layer, bits are sometimes left stuck on it and these add fabulous texture. PS New subscriber! Your work is great.

This is just awesome I don't know why I haven't found you before

I think using cheap jewelry could be fun. Jewelry that is silver plated or copper. It is inexpensive and comes in so many different styles, shapes, and textures. Your video inspired me. I am new to mixed media painting. I am in my second quarter of painting in college. I don't draw well, but I think this style of art will be easier for me. I loved the video!!!

What fun. So many things can be used that we never imagined. Now I'm looking at everything unused as an embellishment. Thanks for sharing.

These are great! I've used them all except the food items. I also use rolled paper tubes in place of sticks that way you can vary they're length and thickness easily. For cloth textures, I often use gauze pads or cheesecloth pieces in the background as well as crumpled papers. Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to seeing more of this!

Thanks for sharing your lovely creation, you are terrific, Very creative

Thank goodness you are back ! :) I needed your lovely voice, & gentle instructions using low cost materials. Super inspiring!

Some great tips here, thankyou. I also use old nails/screws, a cheap fancy fan, the paper handle from a paper bag (you can unwind it and use for texture spread out), cheap jewellery, zips, etc from an opshop, raid the 1st aid kit for bandages etc, great for texture. Pretty much anything I pick up I look at with intent haha

Mixed media has been on my mind. Thanks for the inspiration and great ideas. I have a idea for fall tree leaves to be made out of crushed eggshells. Then painted with fall vibrant colors.

I love this so much you gave me some great ideas thank you so much 💕

We are eating a lot of corn on the cob lately and I know the corn husks (the green part you peel off) get dry and brown and sorta paper-like if left outside to dry out. I think if they were cut into smaller pieces and laid flat to dry, they'd be a nice background. texture.

you have covered them all.... amazing... great help ...❤

Very cool...very cool!....thanks for the tips, I really appreciate those.....😻

Очень красиво👏👏👏

Just came across your video. It's fab. I love your wonderful pieces of art. I use staples as part of art. It helps to adhere things, obviously but I really like it showing, even if I don't need to staple anything together. 😁

Thank you. I am sure you also use the small silica packages in pills bottles ... they make great art stones of different sizes and totally free. I love those.

👌

Hi looking like how you explain your art .

😍😍

Hi! I love your works, my only doubt is to know what you put it after finishing to make all things be durable! How long can rice, corn, flowers... be durable! Thanks Susana Silva
