ARTIST STUDIO VLOG 💖 creative process, making tufted rugs, week in my life in my art studio 🐸

Welcome to another artist studio vlog! 🐹 ☆ If you missed the first one, that video covers the work I did leading up to making these rugs (like stretching the monk's fabric and tracing designs onto the frame). Check if out if you want! 💕
In this video, I tuft an entire frame of rugs using a tufting gun, I use Roberts 3095 carpet adhesive/glue to finish the backs, and then I put a final layer of fabric on the back. After that, you'll see me sculpting the rugs using sheep shearers and scissors to give it those nice crisp edges! ✂️
(Scroll down for the quote I mentioned in the video)
I hope you enjoy spending a week in my art studio with me! See ya next week :-)

Quote:
"The ceramics teacher announced on opening day that he was dividing the class into two groups. All those on the left side of the studio, he said, would be graded solely on the quantity of work they produced, all those on the right solely on its quality. His procedure was simple: on the final day of class he would bring in his bathroom scales and weigh the work of the “quantity” group: fifty pound of pots rated an “A”, forty pounds a “B”, and so on. Those being graded on “quality”, however, needed to produce only one pot - albeit a perfect one - to get an “A”.
Well, came grading time and a curious fact emerged: *the works of highest quality were all produced by the group being graded for quantity.* It seems that while the “quantity” group was busily churning out piles of work - and learning from their mistakes - the “quality” group had sat theorizing about perfection, and in the end had little more to show for their efforts than grandiose theories and a pile of dead clay."

The Star tarot is one of my favorites! I have a really pretty Moon Garden deck and I've done about a couple dozen different paintings out of it for myself and friends, including The Star one a couple times. I use watercolor pencil for these.

Love watching your videos! I do have a question - what kind of yarn are you using? I've never seen such thick yarn being used... and I've been told I should use thinner ones, so my yarn actually tufts properly. (new to tufting, but have been having issues with my yarn not staying flat on the cloth when tufted)

[@bri.forcier]

I use two different kinds of yarn - acrylic yarn or wool/acrylic blend yarns. Just depends on what color/texture I need and if there's any sales lol. The blended one is probably the thick yarn you're talking about! I primarily use "Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick And Quick Yarn". One time I bought yarn that was too thick, but besides that, I've never had that problem. Hmm. Are you using a tufting gun? Is it a cut pile or a loop pile?

[@bri.forcier]

and thank you! I appreciate the sub :-)
