You will understand at the end of this video why my lipstick looks weird...

I am not sure how long I will continue to release this kind of video, it is so strange to me, even though I love beauty products, but talking about them in front of people that I don't even know, even if it is through a camera, it is kind of weird... Anyway, I do this like a public service for those who don't know what to think about this subscription. I used to like watching them, so it is my turn to help.

Tutorial: STAMPING w/ Stencils & Paper Towels, Hit & Miss, Experimentation

   

Hands in the paint, really!

How not to be fascinated by paint marks on paper or even on fabric. Experimenting is something that I do daily in my Art as in my Craft. There is nothing more enjoyable than playing, the hands in the paint. But it is not very obvious to have the hands in the paints and on the camera in the same time! :-)

In this video, I am trying to convey this excitement we feel when we are trying something new, unknown, and about to succeed. Making mistakes is the best way to learn. Even as an ex-arts and crafts teacher and author of an arts & crafts book, I make mistakes every day, and it's good, because I am learning from them every day.

Conclusion: be happy to start and make mistakes, because this is will be the great beginning of your creative journey.

DECLUTTERING Purses, Bags or the Museum of Treasures, KonMari Method

   

Not only decluttering is good for my mood, and for my space at home, but also, it allows me to realize what I am doing with my belongings. I never understood before that my bags are not really things that I use often, but more like treasures that I cherish and honor, like pieces of Art in a museum!

This must definitely change.

After shooting this video and editing it, I decided to sell a few more bags which were in the keep pile. I am not storing bags, I am storing memories.

Once conscious about my behavior, I suddenly have a totally different perspective on the situation. 

If you are interested in this decluttering process, please, let me know, I will continue with it as I found as many other bags outside of my closet! 

I think that at a point, when we have too much, the objects don't matter anymore, and we want to get rid of things as much as we can.

How To Improvise Abstract PAGES on a Handmade Journal: Stencils, Ink Sta...

   

Creating, coloring, improvising, not always easy, but so much fun!!!

Colors and more Supplies used in this video:
- Daler Rowney Watercolors
- Impellist Watercolors (pearl gold)
- Color & Co Lefranc & Bourgeois Gouaches Temperas (fluo pink & more... They are made for children at school)
- Glitter Poster Paints for children (in small jars)
- Fine Acrylic Lefranc & Bourgeois (primary yellow)
- Basics Acrylic Liquitex (deep violet)
- Golden Acrylics (interference blue)
- Neo Art Watersoluble wax pastels
- Oil Pastel Sennelier (pale gold #112 & pale pink Madder Lake #77)
- Omnya Color Fine Marker (yellow)
- TDK CD-R Pen (black)
- Japanese fluo Wax Pastels (name unknown, it's written in Japanese!)
- Markal Oil Paintstik (light green)
- Gelatos Faber-Castell (passion fruit, tangerine, pistachio)
- I used some Scented Kids Paints Craft Dab on the paper towel, they act like an ink and take some time to dry which allows to transfer the colors on several layers in the same time
- Fixatif for Pastel & Charcoal Gallery, to seal the watercolors here
- Glue used: Elmer's School Glue available at Target's but any PVA glue will be fine
- The circles stencil is a Traci Bautista's creation: "Circles Circles" and the little flowers stencil is named "Gigi Stencil". You can both find them at http://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/
- The Journal was handmade with some raw handmade watercolor paper for the cover and some drawing/painting slightly thick paper for the pages. Any paper which can support some waterbased paint will be fine
- My brushes are very old and some of them have no name anymore, but any brush working for stenciling will be fine, and find a simple thin brush which would work with watercolors and any watersoluble color. The hands are great too sometimes...

I am glad and grateful to make these videos, these joyful things which
give me a lot of fun, and allow me to add a little value in this World.
Life is too short not to make the best of it.
