-- About --
I am an artist and designer from California now living in Sweden. I work full time as a designer while also running my little art business at the same time :) It's a lot of work, but it's been a lifelong dream of mine to be able to share my love of animals, art and creations with the world.

So nice to see how you get things done for your shop, especially for people who want to start their own businesses some day ♥

[@prishas5362]

it so happened that I was thinking about your vlogs today and checked if a new one was out!

[@birdietam]

Perfect timing! I'm uploading every other week this summer so lucky day today!!

[@XStephandOliviaX]

I love decorating!! Totally love getting a massive paint brush out! hahaha! 💚🙌💜

[@birdietam]

I love decorating but I'm bad at it 😅😅 pressure is on to make it good!

[@glitterngloss13]

I just love all of your stuff! It would be fun to see a drawing tutorial some time. Your videos have inspired me to find a ceramics studio near me and take some classes. I’ve been wondering if you use a Glowforge to cut out your wooden pins? Those machines look so cool! I can’t wait to see the new apartment. That’s so exciting to have a full room for your studio!

[@birdietam]

Oh! I get my charms made by zap now, but when I handmade them before I used a laser cutter (dunno the brand)

[@AunaAmireArt]

Ooo throwing clay and making little creatures is a big goal of mine ! I love your vlog! The video so clear, what camera do you use?

[@birdietam]

Thank you for watching!! I have a Canon EOS M50 and sometimes I use my boyfriend's Fujifilm XT-2. Maybe I'll do a video about camera equipment 🤔

You have such a great smile and your character shines. I have started my own online business and quit my job now spending more time with the wife and kids. Looking forward to your future vlogs very inspirational. Ha Ha Ha! I also have no self control once I get into an Art Store and my wife kicks me out LOL!!!!!

[@birdietam]

That's awesome!! Congrats on starting your art biz 😍😍 I have been doing my best to avoid art shops to save me money 😂

[@emmaneary6120]

I fell for the same art supplies sale as you did 😬 and now have a lifetime supply of new sketchbooks. Sadly I think it's because it's closing down? Which is a shame because they are the only place I've found in Sweden that sold a specific brand I really like. That's exciting about moving to a new apartment, especially if you can have a dedicated studio/work room now.

[@birdietam]

Yeah it's a shame actually 😞 we have another art store in Malmö which has a lot of good brands but i can't remember if they have Daniel Smith

[@ShojiPanda]

Would love to see more of the city included in vlogs! Is there any botanical gardens?

[@birdietam]

Hmm I think we have one? We have a really awesome plant nursery that I could share! They have turtles :D

[@dactyllife]

I have a new show recommendation for you: Rutherford Falls! I watched it on Peacock (thanks VPN!) :)

[@birdietam]

Ooo thanks! Gonna check it out!! I need new shows to watch after moving :D

[@dactyllife]

@@birdietam hope the move goes well!

[@NamirRivera]

Hi! What kind of designer are you?

[@birdietam]

I'm a UX designer full time 😊
