What are the weirdest things you make marks with?? I wanna know so I can try!
I’ve use coral that I collected on the beach to make marks!
Lol I use the covers from my glade and air wick plug for circle stamps. Also use candle covers that have a handle to glue stuff on it to make some marks.
Plastic sink mats are also great to cut up for stenciling and mark making
Eyeshadow, mascaras, wax melts
Oh and Kool aid!
You had me at "Fairy 'Fro", lol! You are, as ever, a pure delight. Love your energy and enthusiasm, Karen. Just love it! I am always cheered, inspired and energized by your vids and this one is no exception! Loved this and love YOU! Bless xo
Haha, thank you Lindsey! You are one of my people! Thanks for watching!
@@KarenCampbellArtist Always, darling girl! ♥
Hi Karen,
I’ve been dealing with some extreme trauma lately and have not been doing much of anything. Something about your happy fun tone is so calming. You always make me smile. Thanks for inspiring me and making me smile. I really needed it today. ❤️
She does have a lovely effect, doesn't she? :) I SO agree with you and I am sorry to hear you are going through trauma. I hope arting helps you cope as it helps me. I wish you peace, from my heart to yours. Bless xo
So happy I can help make you smile. I hope things start getting better and am so glad to have you as part of our community.
I agree 💕
I don't do much of this but I just love to watch you and listen to you. I love the joy you get out f everything you. You make me smile and I thank you for that.
Gosh, I'm blushing, thank you Mary!
You always have me enjoying your videos. I think I could watch Paint dry on your videos and would be like” this is so much fun”. 😝 thank you for your sense of humor and fun in everything you post.
Totally blushing, what a super kind compliment, thank you Stacey!
i ADORE YOU. it takes an artist to see the possibilities in the objects around you
this video overwhelmed me.
Thanks for watching!
You are the absolute cutest! 🥰 I love how excited you get. You're such a joy, girl!
Aww, Chrishawn, you totally made me blush! Thank you!
To be able to take this with me on my next difficult journey of my life,thank you Karen. Ellen UK
Thanks for watching, Ellen! Hope all is well!
I loved everything you used! So much fun and as always, super enjoyed your bubbly hilarious way of presenting, as Abstract Realmz notes below, your happy fun tone is calming and infectious. You've been added to what I call my "Bob Ross" mental health regime- when I can't sleep, I watch a Bob Ross vid, when I need to laugh and smile and be inspired, I will watch more Bob Ross and some of your vids : ). Thanks Karen! for being YOU! 😻
Wow, what an incredible compliment, thank YOU!
Fun stuff in that book Karen! I am new to your channel and look forward to watching other videos from you…even your own book tours!😊
Welcome aboard! So glad you are here!!
Here are a couple I’ve used. Kids toys. Boys trucks have awesome texture and they roll! Doll shoes, Barbie, other dolls even the dolls walking across a canvas. Packaging from fruit, there is a green diamond mesh that works well. Drywall tape, I don’t know what you call it, crime scene plastic fencing. It’s done for construction and for home owners. Potato mashers, tools for the garden. Egg carton bottoms-that’s about all I can think of off hand!
Love these, awesome suggestions Barbara!
HAHAHHA! The fairy guy "just needed a toilet brush in his hair" HAHAHAHA! You are my kinda girl!
You are definitely in good company here, Paula!
Great tips! The bubble wrap is amazing. Thanks for sharing. The book does have a lot of great ideas. 🎨
Amazing and fun! Thanks for watching, Madelyn!
I picked up 101 more mixed media techniques awhile back at hobby lobby on clearance.. and yes I love it! Alot of info on sprays, dips, splatters and so on.. But I think I need this one too!!
Yes, great book for sure and even better when on sale! Thanks for watching!
some of my favorite non-purchased mark making tools are the plastic stopper that comes with my pickles, kids toys, spaghetti, and branches. Love watching/listening to the excitement in your voice as you experiment
Ooh, all awesome ideas, Jeanette!
I thought the thing you are using and calling a toilet scrubber was a drinking glass washer. I keep one in the kitchen for the inside of glasses that my hand won't fit into. LOL (12:35 time marker)
Hahaha, that's hilarious and sorry about that! Thanks for watching, Mira!
LOVE !! Your Cool Fairy FRO !!
Haha, fairy fros are awesome!
I just ordered the next one in this series, More 101 Mixed Media Techniques. I can’t wait for it to arrive!
Yay, let me know if you love it, Brenda!
When I go walking, I pick up all kinds of weird lookin objects to use as stamps/stencils but now you’ve shown me to look around the house. Thank you
Yes, Nancy, so many good options are right in our homes!
I collect your art books, I have a few others I’ve collected but your books are my favorite for sure. I will get the 101 book you went over. I’m just over a year into my first time to ever pick up a marker or paint brush, pencil ….for art. I’m hooked😳 Thanks for all the education you give all us newbies.
Aww, thank you Sheila! That means so much to me, I hope that you absolutely love my books!
Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you create those different types of stamps and stencils too. I’ve subscribed and given you a thumb’s up too. Please stay safe and well too
Welcome, glad to have you here!
Love this series of videos already! 💜💜
Thank you, Sammi!
Fantastic video Karen. Loved what you did with your found objects but more importantly I love the whole idea of this new series. If the rest is anywhere near as good as this one, I can’t wait!
So happy you enjoyed it, Jacqui! This series is so fun, I'm excited too!
I’m super new to the mixed media world and love all these ideas especially the bubble wrap. I also love your energy and can’t wait to see what else you create ❤️😊
Thank you, Sonya!
Great video. I am always looking for items to use in projects. Thanks for sharing.
Yay, glad it was helpful, Sandra!
I haven’t watched your videos for a while, but I’m so glad I started back with this one. You’re so funny, but also inspiring. I can’t count past 5 either 😂
Thank you and welcome back!!!
Bottom of flip flops are my favorite
Ooh, another great idea, thanks Carol!
I really like the idea of using found home objects. This may be an art book in my future!! Thank you for the heads up!!
Yessss, it's so much fun to do Cheryl!
That was good and amazing how we can use the different objects around the house, for put the "net" down I use the "roller" , is using for put the colours fast and cover big spaces faster
Great idea, Liliana!
Magnifique
🤩
Merci!
Great video! Thanks4the tips!
You are so welcome!
So much to see yet😮
Thanks for watching!
Such easy tips! Very inspiring!
Thanks, Rhonda!
Great ideas!
Glad you like them! 😀
Love it 🥰
Thanks!!!
I am glad I found your videos! Love your fun and enthusiastic personality! I am in the research part of this art or mixed media forum and your tips were great! Honestly, did not even think about bubble wrap like that and that will be my very first attempt at trying this lol lol
So glad to have you following my channel, this is an awesome community! Thanks for watching, Flor and definitely have fun with the bubble wrap!
You are fantastic!!! Thank you...I've been collecting too...now will be purchasing more lol
Thank you, Kate! Have fun!
So innovative! I’m waiting for this book to come in!
Thank you, Regina!
Love Your Video !Great Tips !
Thanks so so much!
This is fantastic. Great talent.
Thank you!!!
Cool Beans!! Lot's of good ideas 💡 ❤
Glad you liked it!
Pill bottles are great cuz each nottle actually has multiple size circles, mine do at least. You can use the opening for stamping, as well as the bottom cuz hoth have a dofferent look. Then the cap aslo has 2 different size, or looks, circles. And...they make great handles for mounting homemade stamps onto AND storing little things in. Pill bottles! Who knew hahaha and if you're a real wreck like me, you have several different size bottles to start with 🙄
Great ideas!!!!
Thanks so much!
You're so welcome, Mindy!
I love your art work.
Thank you very much!
Love using bubble wrap and lately I have taken some fun foam, cut it out and made marks on it with a pen to create fun stamps for mark making.
Love that, Sharon!
Hi Karen, I’m a new subscriber to your channel, WOW mrs I love all your work, I can’t draw to save my life, but after watching you I’ve been practicing lots. I wish I could show ya what I’ve done so far, I’ve just started using colour on my lady for the first time just waiting on Amazon delivery to finish. I so look forward to Fridays with you, much love from across the pond in Liverpool x
Hi there, Tina! Welcome, so happy to have you here! Ah, I love that you are starting such a fun journey, and practicing which is so important! Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy the channel!
Hi Karen, thanks for sharing this book and the ideas. I like using corrugated cardboard for the lines.
Hey Judy, it's a great book! And what a good idea!
Love the book! I have several of yours and took your encaustics course….really good stuff!🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♀️
Thank you, Glenda! Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! You're still flipping through the pages and I'm already sold. And you are right, they do produce awesome books. Ok, continue my dear. Oh! Oh just one more thing.... love the Mr. Karen in the back there, poor guy. Sounds like he's been neutered hahaha but in a good way. Yeah, of course in a good way 😉
Ohhh, poor Mr. Karen! The book is great for sure! Thanks for watching!
What great ideas!
Thank you, Alyson!
You should try the heart shaped bubble wrap from Jane Davenport. She takes so much care in wrapping up parcels to send to you ....just so you can use the packaging somewhere else in your creations.
Oh, I love that!!!
Oooo!
I really enjoy your videos, and you are so fun to watch. Just a heads up the foam scrubber is a dish mop for cleaning inside of cups and not a toilet brush . Love all your ideas and can't wait to give them a try.
Haha, thank you Lisa! Several people have commented to let me know that, but I did have a giggle over it!
I just jumped on to say same thing! LOL definitely a bottle or glass cleaning sponge brush. I’m sure the stiffer toilet cleaner brush would create some great texture too!
@@angelmoonllc821 lol!! Thanks! I think every other comment is people running to tell me this! I had no idea that this would cause such a stir!! Who knew?! Lol! I will definitely make it a point to say the wrong tool name from now on, it’s definitely the best way to encourage interactions in the comments section! ☺️❤️❤️❤️ and I agree. A toilet brush WOULD make some seriously cool effects!!
Awesome Karen!!
Thank you, Glenda!
That was cool.
Thanks, Charlotte!
Oh what a great idea. I love art books I hate that I can t look through them on Amazon before I buy them though..so this is really helpful
Glad it was helpful, Megan!
Excelent video, thanks
Thank you!!!
With the napkin holder you could paint the holder itself and stamp skinny lines onto the paper
Oooh, great idea, Gerrie!
Fabulous video 😍🥰😊
Thank you, Tanya!
WOW amazing work..
Iam happy for your New book.. Thanks 😇🌹🐾
Oh thanks! This isn’t my new book, just a good one from my art book library! ❤️
@@KarenCampbellArtist sorry dear 🙄💕
@@demetduzgit5496 no worries! I just didn’t want to take credit for something that wasn’t mine. Thanks for watching! Appreciate you!
I am into corrugated card at the moment as a base but could be used to stamp down! Thank and appreciated! ok after making my comment I went and checked it out Corrugated card is not a stamping medium to use to re-stamp but it is a go to!
Fun!
Thank you❣️
You're so welcome!
This is so fun! I haven’t seen a review of this book yet and was linked over by a friend (I wrote the art journaling section)!
That's amazing!!!!!! Everyone on my channel has really enjoyed it!
The dog toy.. "it's like not even clean" LMAO you are too funny.
Lol, well it wasn't! Hahaha, thanks for watching Alicia!
I love this. Your seriously crack me up I was laughing so hard and seriously want to try a toilet brush 😂😂
Hahaha, I mean, a toilet brush is always an option, except that several people have informed me that it was actually a dish scrubbing brush, so there's that.
@@KarenCampbellArtist it will forever be a toilet brush for me from here on out!
@@seakinireland 🤣🤣 I appreciate the solidarity!!! ❤️❤️
Lol. That is not a toilet brush, it’s a bottle washer😂. Love the book and your demo’s.
Yesterday morning the price of that book was $30 on Amazon by afternoon it was $65!😳
Anyhoo, would love to see you do a series on gelli printing and how to incorporate in mixed media, especially on larger pieces. Since I’m like you, I like to go big!🤔
As always love your bubbly personality and humor❤️❤️ always a trill to watch you over and over.
Thank you, and yes I now realize that! And yikes about Amazon! Maybe the price will drop?
Karen, I was so hoping you would accidently squeek the doggy toy and Maggie would jump in and things would go crazy. Plus you didn't mention to have a shot before you use the shot glass. Hugs
You are 1000% right 🤣🤣🤣 that doggie, while completing adorable, is a complete attention whore so I have to be very very quiet lest I wake the beast during filming! Lol!!! And I will DEFINITELY have a shot next time; my only excuse was that it was very early in the morning! So lame! I know!
You need tons of things for mixed media. They always say it is cheap and if you don´t have supply x you can use y instead - but anyway you need many supplies.
It never ends - acrylics and stamps, pan pastels and pastels, watercolors and gouache, different colored pencils (water soluble and waterproof), neo color I and II, hot press water color paper, mixed media paper. Make your own journal - cheap and fun, but first you need supplies for book binding ; )
All the ephemera and magazines for collage, the scrapbook paper, the stamps and stencils... Inktense blocks and markers. Gelatos. Different mediums like matte medium, retarder, gloss gel and on an on.
Not really though. You can do TONS with just a few supply. It’s a choice! People jsut love all the things, and that’s totally fine! But it’s all completely optional. I have loads of videos (hundreds) where I have 2 supplies in my mixed media project! If you need some links just let me know.
I have n like this book :)
Oh good, Patrcia!
That book looks amazing!! Sadly, it's almost $50 to order where i live... sigh. I am so going to try bubble wrap right away!
BTW your hair looks great!
Aww, thanks! And that stinks that it is so expensive in your area.
Pssst… (you can watch this video at half speed, pausing it here and there, and read a lot of the book that way). Sshhh, I wasn’t the one who told ya. 🙊
Would love copies of your PDFs! Specifically the Bob Ross inspirational quotes and the hamburger layers!
Hi Becky, thanks so much for watching!
awesomeartschool.lpages.co/mm-hamburger/
awesomeartschool.lpages.co/mm-kick-in-the-pants-quotes/
Just a FIY the yellow brush isn't a toilet brush. It is to clean water bottles. Fun ideas though.
Haha, thanks Viki! I got quite a few comments letting me know that, lol.
I purchased this book....very interesting, but lacks step by step guidelines in most of the techniques. Ended up returning the book.
Hi Elora, I'm sorry to hear that.
I use hot-wheels For for car tyres; Duplo blocks; marbles; ping pong balls, tennis balls, grout tile spacers; bottle caps sets; coils; potato masher; bubbles; grater; mechano, Lego; doll’s feet; various materials eg hessian;
Love this, Rosemaree!
OMG..where'd you get aa full sized Jamie? Awesome studio
Thank you, Laurin! I've had it for a long time. I would check Amazon maybe?
What camera do You use Karen That you can breeze in and out in a zoom!! So easily please♡♡♡♡♡
Just my iphone! ❤️❤️
Karen, My son bought me this book for Christmas but it was published in 2014 and has a different cover!
Awesome, Holly! I just had someone ask if it was still in print.
I use all kinds of things around my house .
Yesss, so good to make use of what you have.
I have this book, hadn’t used it yet.
You definitely need to play around with it. Thanks for watching!
great ideas; i think the spongy gadget is the one for cups and glasses lol; not a toilet cleaner. ha.. ha,,
Thank you!!! And yes, I've now been school by 1,000 people, I will not make that mistake again!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Chuck that shunizzle all over 😂
Right?! I am laughing with you!
Delightful! Who is the books author?
It’s a Walter Foster book
And thank you!
Fairy fro from a DISH CLEANING SPONGE with handle. I doubt a sponge like that could clean a toilet. Just saying since when I worked at a store and stocked them, toilet brushes are stiff bristled and big and round like that but not made of sponges. That most likely is to help clean out glasses/cups.
Thanks! Typically I don't use anything I'd use for art to actually clean anything afterwards so regardless of toilet or dishes, it's all good!
@@KarenCampbellArtist me either lmao
I want this book is it still in print?
Hi Mary, it should be.
Could I please have a copy of the cheat sheet?
Thanks for watching, Kate:

Just brought me new drawing book call grumbacher mixed media
Awesome!
I would like best one book mixed media book and sales let me know because I want order book and help me please
Hi devoted follower hun. Hey can one but your books at a bookstore?? I don't like buying online.
You can request your local book store to order the one you want, they should be able to accommodate you!
Thank you so much!!!!!! You made my day!!
You’re so sweet! You’re enthusiasm is making mine girl! ❤️❤️❤️
I also sell them too! Www.Etsy.com/shop/karencampbellartist if you want a signed copy! I kinda personalize them whether people want me to or not 🤷♀️🤣
I just picked up some end table drawers that I saw on the street! Sturdy n well made! I have seen where one can incorporate legs into them and people like them in that they use them to put toys, add a blankee to their lived ones room, i.e. child room. I saw this on Etsy.
Anyways I picked up two drawers, n have the legs waiting for them..all I need is a cheerful color. Okay hun, I just love your channel as much as I love kacha!!!!!!!!
that toilet scrubber looks a lot like a bottle cleaner/brush
Nailed it, it definitely is!
12:31 😂🤣😂
Laughing along with you!
@@KarenCampbellArtist you having me laughing all through your videos! 🤣💕
Girlfriend that "toilet brush" is actually for doing dishes silly girl. 😜 LOL
As long as it's a new one though, right?! JK, I have been told this a few times and have to giggle each time.
No! That's not a toilet cleaner- that's what you use to wash dirty dishes/ glasses to get into the bottom of the cups good. Lol... FAIRY FRO! Hahaha 😆🤣
Hahaha!!!!
@@KarenCampbellArtist 🤪🙃
Great Stenciling ideas!l! You can also use potatoes- cut in half and cut a design in potatoe. Makes a homemade stamper! I just subscribed and I hope you’ll stop by channel and become my “subbie friend” too!
What a fabulous idea, thank you and I hope that you'll enjoy the channel!
Sure hope that paint isn't toxic. 2nd that is a drink glass cleaner not a toilet brush
Thanks so much for your concern and for letting me know!
To b.
Thanks for watching!
I purchased this book and got rid of it....because I knew that I would never use it in my life (with regards to the person I was with) but now regret getting rid of it now that person isn't hampering my creativity!
Ugh, that's a bummer! But yay to renewed creativity!
Hate to tell you , the ‘ toilet brush cleaner’ is a GLASS Cleaner…
Cool, thanks 😉
LOL, It’s a bottle brush, not a toilet brush, but great idea anyway!
Thanks!! People seem very passionate that I know the difference 🤣
@@KarenCampbellArtist l’m So sorry, I guess it’s just the idea of using a toilet brush freaks a lot of us germ-a-fobe’s out and how we dealt with it is recognizing that it’s just a simple bottle brush. Still love the creativity though!
NOTE: That is not a toilet brush. It’s a dishwashing brush. LOL
Yes! Thanks! People are really stuck on that point 🤣
Sadly, that book over $100 on Amazon.😭
Maybe it’s out of print. Or you’re looking at the wrong country? Either way don’t let it keep you from trying these things out, you don’t need the book! You just need to begin! ❤️❤️❤️
You paid for the book so not zero cost.
Yeah but you don’t have to buy it so it’s zero cost for you!
