    Thanks for sharing. I prefer oil painting i/o a print. You can find really nice oil paintings for a similar budget. I have a replica of Van Gogh and every time I look at it, it creates a smile on my face. I sometimes still smell the painting (after more than 20 years) and the craftsmanship is part of the art of painting too for me.

    To secure small nails without smashing your fingers - use a pair of needle nose pliers or stick the nail through a piece of paper for a handle.

    Thank you for this video. Also, I appreciate your once-a-month video format. What you share and how you share it makes me feel like I could possible do something similar. I would have a steep learning curve with the technology, but the still camera and chunks of footage work really well and seem doable. Thanks again! I have learned a ton from all your videos.

  • @ukrandr
    @ukrandr Před 7 měsíci

    Well done. I've been wanting to frame a collection of vintage soap wrappers (mainly from Portugal and Italy) in a sort of collage format. Do you think Modge Podge would work as a sealant in my project?

    • @simpleediy
      @simpleediy  Před 6 měsíci

      Yes! There are different sheens so if you don’t want it shiny choose the matte finish.

    on what paper you took the print? even leveling by hand directly on print, is it laminated?
