Yes! I think I remember you telling me that. So fun.

Hello all the way in South Africa! Thanks for your sweet comment. I've been sick for two weeks now so I haven't been able to get much filming and editing done. I've been doing little projects when I have a little energy. Are you a bicentennial baby? Oh, you might not know what I mean. Haha. 1976 is 200 years after the United States became a country. That's the year I was born. 😁

Thanks! Sometimes, I'm super happy with a page result. Sometimes I just had fun, and that's enough. 😄

Yay! Have fun! I can't wait to get back at it when I get over this stupid illness!

Thank you

Not sure- it's from my Samsung phone

@ cool. i'll try that--when i get brave enough to add water and get going. water colors scare me!!

Thanks. I just keep going worse. Ugh, so annoying. It hurts to speak so I'm holding off on voice overs and my flip through of my completed art journal. In the meantime, playing with watercolors is short and fun. 🙂

@@nicolersands thanks!

🤣😂🤣 I don't think you're looking close enough. If I'm a surgeon, somebody is in big trouble. 😁

No, I just tried to leave a tiny gap between the lines.

@ you've got a VERY steady hand!! looks great!

@@olivia-ii9lc Thank you. 😊

😆 right?! They want to travel around the page like a toddler on sugar.

One way you can attempt to control water color is first outlining where you want the water to stay with faint amounts of water. Just enough for it to be shiny. And then paint like normal. It should create a barrier

@artsyerinlife Thank you 😁

Thank you. 👍 It's one of my favorites.

@robinsismai9085 Thank you! 😘 yes, I forget about gesso.

Thanks

Thank you so much!

Thanks Linda! I'm so glad you enjoy them.

Thank you! From Arkansas 😁

Thanks so much

Right?! It's so annoying.

I am. I've already begun. 😉 Thanks so much for your kind words.

Thank you!

Haha. Yeah, I am like a kid sometimes. I don't always love the results of a page, so when I do, I'm extra thrilled. 😄

I should give that a try. I have some cheap liquid gesso, but it's very chalky.

@ it won’t matter once you paint over it. Some of the clear gesso’s are grittier and may work differently but I find that it’s hard on your posca pens. So if you don’t have a clear gesso that is not gritty use white gesso or extra fine sandpaper to scratch up the cove to give it some grit would also work

Thanks!

Haha. I never know when my sense of humor is going to come out and play. 😂 Sorry you have a horrible Brian. Darn. 😒

Thank you for your kind words - I appreciate you watching!

Awesome! I hope you love it and have a blast!

Thank you for your kind words and support! 🥰🥰

Thanks!

I hear you. I don't have much of a budget for art supplies either. There's plenty we can do with inexpensive tools. The best way to stretch our creativity is to limit ourselves to only use what we already have. And if we are plum out- then start with the cheap stuff!. 😁

I am going to do another. I'm not bored of it yet, so I'll just keep going until I get an itch to try something else. 😁

Metallic paint makes me happy too. This set was only $24 with tax from WaMart. Black Friday deal I think.

That's a great suggestion. I did that when I used to work on children's board books. That would definitely help with this type of cover. Thanks. 😁

Thanks so much, Susan. I decided I AM going to make another one! 😁 Have a great weekend!

​@@artsyerinlife So happy to see there is going to be another art journal. Yippeee!!!
