Thank you for another peaceful vlog! I love how you shared your climbing and meals with us, it felt like we were hanging out 😀 I've been following you for quite some time and I love how your art has evolved along with your youtube. Keep the awesome vlogs coming 💙

[@ChantelleArts]

That screen printing method looks so cool! 😍😍

[@palomathepeach]

it’s a super easy way to get a screen ready!

[@williampineda1356]

[@lonisykes5113]

[@jenn.yadi.]

It’s always a beautiful day when Paloma uploads!

[@threemusketeers4109]

Great video Paloma. It’s nice to see you sharing more parts of your life like foods you are eating and rock climbing! Plus all the creative art and animals. ♥️

[@palomathepeach]

nice!! i never know if it’s something that will be interesting but i’ve been trying to include it more :)

[@croshaecrafts1142]

I was playing your video on in the background while I was at work, and looked at the screen and thought I was watching another climbing video. I have been climbing for 3 years and all I watch is climbing videos pretty much on KZbin and thought I clicked on the wrong video. I was like, "Wait, that's Paloma!" I love it, I'm so glad you got into climbing and continue to have fun with it!

[@mellipopss]

Super vibey and relaxing, just placed an order! Bummed I missed out on the shirts but excited for my other goodies. Thanks for making such great art and videos 🤍

[@starlapse365]

My husband and I love bouldering as well! Its great to see so many artists online doing it as well!

[@larryheath3772]

My granddaughter is attending Pratt in the fall.. we both watch and enjoy your videos

[@Maddie.d326]

I love your videos so much omg!! They always inspire me to keep creating! I'm so happy you were able to find a way to screenprint and I'm glad you kept trying with it, even though it was super frustrating before. I also love the fun linocut bits that you added here. I've done those in art class and it is so cool to see other people do it outside of my class. 💙💙

Hi Paloma! I’ve been a long time watcher and you’ve kept me company through much art and the beginning of my business. Now I may have something to contribute!! You may know some of these things but I’ll say it as though you don’t to make sure no assumptions are made. I’m a clay technician working at my studio and I wouldn’t recommend using fire brick for filing the stilt holes, if anything something like that might just scratch up your piece and is really too soft. I think I’ve seen you use a dremmel for past clay pins, but something like that or maybe even a metal nail file with ideally a respirator would give a much better result and likely a lot faster. Probably would want diamond tip dremmel bits which aren’t too expensive. I’ve gotten some from harbor freight although not the best quality. To prevent those pin holes from being so bad, try to use as little glaze as necessary to get the visual, especially the clear top coat since it looks like you’re using underglazes, because the rest will just pool especially at the bottom where the stilts are. I’m 100% not going to tell you how to price things but I do want to say personally I wouldn’t worry about little imperfections like that in a reflection of the price! The kiln gods giveth and taketh away. I believe it’s a part of the work unless you are very specialized. More than anything I am just hoping you aren’t very sad about it or seeing it as a failure on your part. People always (in person at least) buy my more messed up ceramics and my seconds before the ones I did well even at equal item and price point. Some people like my misprints way more than the intended version. I think art is imperfect :) especially with something as high labor as clay. Also, it is so nice to see you and others making your business following whatever mediums your heart desires. I’ve been feeling a lot of pressure to specialize and pick a medium lately when that’s really just not who I am. I’m a tinkerer and an explorer. Thanks for helping me feel valid in that. Love your work and your company!!! ❤❤

[@palomathepeach]

thank you so much!! i personally also love imperfection, but i guess i tend to feel some sort of guilt? thank u for the dremmel tip, i was going to do that but the studio tech suggested the brick instead? it did chip off a bit of glaze but nothing too crazy

[@kuroihitsuji872]

Love the way your website looks. I got 14 days trial and 10% off for a year subscription to Squarespace. I am loving it. Thank you so much!

[@Inkymakes]

Another sweet vlog, Paloma. You cracked me up when you were geeking out with your new mic. Very cute :)

[@josierose8889]

I just left a long comment about exposing screens on a previous video before watching this one 🤦🏻‍♀️...I was going to to say that if all else fails use a cricut and permanent vinyl, far less faff! They don't last so long but nice and easy to redo! Xx

[@darkcaeol]

Loved the vlog as always Paloma! I hope you’re doing well💜

[@thirdeyedtoad]

I looooooove your block print pieces 🥹👏🏻 I’m not sure if anyone’s told you but it may be easier for you to put the block on the table and burnish the paper on top for a crisp print. Either way works for you looks great!!

[@emilyvelazquez96]

Love this! Which artist is your colorful mouse pad from?

[@StarlightSovereign]

I don't know anything about screen printing, but just wondering if you'd have a little easier time with it if you ironed the area you're printing on first so it's very flat and no wrinkles getting in the way? It looks so nice regardless and hope this helps.

[@Honeyski]

For the screenprinting you can also use iron on that’s what I use you’ll be able to reuse it

[@fuzzydragons]

cute fuzzy mic (want one but ouch at the price lol) the toad prints look really nice 🙂

[@lovinglife2]

What printer do you use?

[@Bubblestheghost]

Have you tried iron on vinyl for screen printing?

[@Papershire]

The climbing looks so fun! But I'm also scared of heights lol 😅

[@palomathepeach]

i am too!

[@gabby_olivari]

Love your videos! Do you think you could film a video where you show us how you felt the earrings?

[@palomathepeach]

sure! i can do a felting video :)

[@popisanchezz]

No te voy a mentir paloma, me puso un poco nerviosa cuando estabas haciendo el screen printing con jeans blancos 😩😂😂, hermoso todo lo que hiciste 🥺💖💖

[@Dumbfia1992]

Omg where did you get that smashing pumpkins shirt from? Also, your website makeover looks super cool!

[@palomathepeach]

i have two, if it’s the black one from target and the beige one from hot topic!

[@anamarilla.art.rtrtrt]

Hi Paloma! You are multi disciplinary artist! It's amazing! Is there anything you don't do? 😂😂 Anyway I really liked the video, specially because it's you speaking most of time 😊 un abrazo desde España ❤

[@aoichan8273]

This will be the first time I’m commenting.. but I’ve been watching you for years hehe! Umm can anyone tell me the kind of music Paloma always uses for her vids? I just find them soooo relaxing and it seems like I only have the motivation to draw when listening to it! I literally get motivated to draw when watching her hehe

[@palomathepeach]

i use bossa-nova, smooth jazz and folk mostly :)

[@aoichan8273]

@@palomathepeach thank youuuu!!! I just want to tell you that watching you really really inspires me! I’ve been drawing since I was little but lost that spark around 2016… and now I got it back from watching your videos!!! :))

[@josephinasanchezhenin2878]

Hi Paloma, as always everithing in this video is so inspiring and super cuteeee❤. Btw miss you on discord :(

[@cypresswilde]

You should make clip on earrings one day!

[@withouteraser]

Maybe I just missed it - but will there be a vest-update? 😃

[@palomathepeach]

[@elizagelinas]

[@blummbo]

how do you get into a flow where you can create so much so consistently?

[@palomathepeach]

learning how to balance rest vs creative time! it’s different for everyone but keeping the balance that works for u is important

[@blummbo]
