[Carmen Lucero]

Enjoyed your process today, Donna. Thanks for sharing and for the inspiration. Love your doggie hanging out with you :)

PS the computer video worked great!!

[renee logan]

dear dear donna...i have loved watching your hands create beautiful art for many years, and this is beautiful art!..the texture and color..is magnificent...but watching your heart and your brain direct your hands was unbelievable...seeing your darlings dogs peak out...you bring such joy and inspiration to me...thanks you for sharing.. my heart is very happy...

[Artful Scrapbooking]

Love the extra computer footage, especially with your cute pup peaking out! Glad you pointed out the details on these wonderful pages and thanks for keeping it REAL!!! xo Evie

[kelli]

this was an amazing process. enjoyed those last 8 minutes so much!! really great page. my fave = the colors!!

[LindaC]

Love glass beads! I think I need to get mine out and play. Those colours were beautiful together.

The added video at the end was really fun! Loved seeing little Pixel's head pop out once in a while lol

[Raine]

Donna,

What a great page. The bead gel really adds a funky vibe to the page. A totally unique texture.

I TOTALLY loved the last 8 minutes, watching your process. I have always wondered what it was like from your end. It's a riot how often you look up at the camera as if you are talking to US! I've always liked that aspect of the audio but the visual made it even more special...more personal. It was cool to see where you "go" when we don't see you (actually, your hands!) in the frame. It was also fun watching the pups. Pixel disappeared for a awhile in his carrier then popped up again near the end. At one point, Taco's head popped up and never moved while you were a whirlwind of action. He was SO still, SO focused. Amazing.

Thanks for the fun and inspiration.

Well, I can see that I'm in agreement with everyone, it was fun to watch you and the pups in action! Taco looks soooooo sweet, what great animation in ":her?" face! Pixel, on the other hand looks totally bored with the whole artistic collaboration goin on around "him?" And we all loved watching you talk to us on camera, you are such a doll! Now, I have 2 new products to buy, loving the glass bead gel medium and the enamel accents! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)

[Pam]

love it love it love it. the extra vid at the end was fun, I love you Donna but watching Pixal sticking his head in and out of bag was my fave part. :)

[Jennifer Clarke]

the time lapse was great! you really do look at "us" while your talking... lol!

:O)

[Kimmer]

Awesome vid, Donna! It was so cool to watch the way you talked to the camera as if you were talking to us. I love the way your page turned out. I hope the letters stay stuck! ;) Your little purse dog is so adorable! I can't believe he just stayed there in that little bag for the entire time! :)

[Tena]

Loved the project, watching the process, and especially loved the fur babies popping in and out.

[Trish]

Obviously what I have to say isn't new since I agree with everyone who posted...loved the pages, the glass bead gel, the pups, the extra footage, the way you talk to "us" aka: the camera. I will say that while I have followed your blog and videos for years I RARELY comment but this one just struck a chord with me that seemed so personal. Maybe it was the extra footage of seeing you chat with us - I don;t know but I just wanted to say how much I loved it and appreciate you and your art!

[Peg]

Wow, Donna, you've provided a couple of days of delight for me! I picked up the new book yesterday and voraciously consumed it over lunch and dinner and was completely enthralled. Then I actually got to watch Inspiration Wed on Wednesday and you made probably my favorite piece in all the months I've been watching. Totally enjoyed watching you from the other side of the room and was struck how tidy you are (I am so NOT!) and how often you only use one hand. LOL Thanks so much!

[Shawna Rae]

Love your works of inspiration... And love watching your videos. Oh, and the puppy purse... Bought me one for my fur baby! He won't stay in it as long as your sweetie does...probably should have started him out in it a lot sooner. As always... Can't wait for the next video!

[Aprile]

I loved the texture of this page! The colors were awesome, too. But I have to tell you the last few minutes where you are working and being recorded from the computer...made me smile! You have created a spoiled little puppy in that pouch of yours...wish I would have done the same thing with my new little guy. Of course, he wouldn't fit in there now. But I loved the way he was peeking out and then back in the pouch. Thanks for sharing, today and always! I love Wednesdays, just because of you!

[Jacquelene L.]

Donna, this page is so beautiful, I love it!! The bead gel is now on my list of must haves!! Thankyou for sharing the extra 8min. of footage of you working. It was awesome to actually watch you work in your studio. I noticed the lazy susan you have your paints on, what a great idea, is it just a kitchen one or is it special made for art purposes? I need one in my studio for current or frequently used paints. This was a fantastic inspiration wednesday, this made my day today so much better than it was. Thankyou for inspiration wednesday, it's the best part of wednesday.

Gotta get me some of that glass bead gel...you have triumphed again...love the texture the colour and the way you look at the camera even though we can only hear you.

[woolrichoutlet]

My dear Donna,
You are so great. I admire you. Thanks for sharing and for the inspiration. Your hands create beautiful arts are interesting. Can i share them with my friends?

[Helen]

What a great Inspiration Wednesday this week, complete with the extra computer cam!! I love the pages too, it almost seems an aside to say so.

[Tania]

Hi Donna
I cannot play this video on here or on you tube. I am not sure how to go about watching it! How is everyone else watching it???

[carylw3@mweb.co.za]

Love the way you splash colour around with gay abandon and get such good results.

[jennifer brown]

Love the pages. The colors are really great together. You really have embraced your calling! Thank you for the inspiration. Amazing you have dedicated so much time to just inspire others. Just out of curiosity, how many inspiration journals do you have? It would be fun to see a pic of all of them togther!

[sandeeNC]

Trish, I went to your blog ( thanks for coming by mine ) and wanted to leave a comment, but it said I wasn't using a supported browser, and you have no way of contacting you through e-mail :( I hope you return here, you may never, which will be sad to lose a fellow NC artist/friend! If anyone reads this and happen to visit her blog, please pass this note along to her! Many thanks! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)

[Lisa Ciaravino]

So cute seeing Pixel popping out every now and then. Love the Dave music! Love the pages too!

[Jean]

Forget about how talented and inspiring you are, that's a givin! But boy do you crack me up! Loved the "no bra" comment, it had me in stitches. (oh and it was not noticeable at all :-}) I loved this process and need to go get me some of that beaded medium!
Thanks for the constant enjoyment!

[Laura E.]

love it Donna! As alway i enjoy watching! Like the extra view from the other camera, and hey your beautiful with or without make up! and if they girls are free your happy so do some she art! hugs to you girl!

[Charis Mouritsen]

Really enjoy inspiration Wednesdays! Especially loved the final segment watching your process. Could you tell me where you purchased your table? It is a perfect height for standing and creating which I totally love to do. Thanks!

[Melinda]

LOVE LOVE LOVE the bonus footage! The dogs are awesome. Thanks for sharing that private behind the scene video!

[Nancy/scrapoochi]

Hi Donna and cute little Pixel! Where shall I start! I loved the video from the beginning to the end! I sometimes wondered if Pixel was still alive :-), he's too cute, I can understand you like to carry him around! Love your pure yourself! I also love the leaves you've made and the use of glass bead gel, will have to get a pot too :-). How can you do this standing up?! We couldn't (me and Vincent), that's a complete workout! LOL! Thank you so much for sharing and filming yourself! (so funny to see you talking to the camera above you!) You keep surprising and amazing us! Hope the last pages won't be the end of inspiration Wednesday (more days in a week :-). Big hug from us both in Belgium, say hi to Bill and hug cuty Pixel!

[Mary Harris]

Hey Donna I just love your inspiration Wednesday videos!! They are always awesome I love to watch you create. I get a glass of wine and relax. You give me inspiration :)That bead gel looks so cool and your colors are perfect not to mention the leaves you did! The end of the video was so great! Taco popping up every so often and Pixel too he is adorable :)

[Angie]

Awesome pages! Love the colors and the design and the word...just all of it. Thanks for the behind the scenes...that was fun. Loved seeing Tango sit up every so often and Pixel just chillin' in the purse. SO GREAT!!!

[Debbie]

Donna, I think this is one of my favorite Inspiration Wednesday videos ever! I love the page, love the colors and loved the last 8 minutes! Thank you for always inspiring me to just do it and have fun and make "mistakes"!

[Angela]

Gotta' get me some of that gel bead medium.

[Rachel]

i am unable to watch it in germany :-( But i love the colours!

[peggy]

Hi Donna
I do videos as well and loved your set up can you tell me what kind of camera you use and if you bought the pole set up or made it on your own. I'm having surgery in Dec and to have a free hand to do the videos and not use the flip on a tripod would solve my problem thanks for all your videos they really help get the inspiration going! Peggy

[johanna]

unfortunately this video can´t be seen in germany due to some rights of SME music...
the colors of the spread are gorgeous!

[Sue]

Enjoyed the vid, and the piece, and I LEARNED a lot! thank you again!

[Artful Scrapbooking]

Donna, I was wondering what type of digital camera you use to take pics for your blog?? They look so wonderful and the details are so sharp. I am struggling with my Nikon Coolpix. LOL! xo Evie

[Kathy]

Thanks for your inspirational videos every Wednesday! I have bead gel but never used it. Will definately take it out and use the transparent paints over it. Love the dogs watching you, too. I wonder what goes through their minds....

I felt inspired to comment on this Inspiration Wednesday, even though I love them all. This one was especially great! After having read all of the comments above, I agree with every one of them. Loved the music, your down to earth personality, your art and especially the "behind the scenes" look. So much fun to watch. What great inspiration you are!
Thank you!

I loved seeing your "behind the scenes" video. It was great to watch your hands multitasking and your puppies are SUPER ADORABLE! I want to carry Pixel around too! I appreciate all of the work that goes into these videos even more after watching it from both angles. Thank you for sharing with us!

[yolie]

This has got to be my favorite Wednesday video so far. Loved the page and really loved the extra footage with the pups and showing all you do to make these videos. Please include the extra footage more often! Thank you for your inspiration each week, it makes me try new things!
