Customizing 30 Christmas Ornaments... *this took weeks*

[@kairisponyta961]

Wow, I never thought a painting video would be so heartfelt and hit me so close to home because I also deal with infertility due to PCOS. So I totally get where you are coming from. It's definitely a blessing when it happens when you can finally say that you were able to carry a baby and be a mom. That's one of my goals in life. One day it'll happen. I haven't given up on faith yet nor do I plan on it.

[@ms.sallyann8596]

Oh hunny.❤ my heart. Don’t give up.

[@gracehowell.]

My sister has PCOS, and she was able to have a baby. My niece is now 3 years old. Don't give up hope! Just relax, don't stress over it. Stress makes it more difficult to conceive, from what I've heard. It's only when some people stop trying hard for a baby that one actually comes along, or at least that's been the case for some of my family members. One couple were THIS close to adoption when it happened (no IVF at the time, I think), and they ended up with two daughters, a year apart!

[@jaimejohnesee]

I just want to say thank you. Whenever I feel anxious or stressed I rewatch your videos. Your content is amazing at helping me stop negative thought loops and look more on the brighter side of life. Thank you so much for all your hard work. It's helped me a ton. Sending lots of love from my family to yours for the holidays.💙

I ordered these same ornaments from Amazon, and (after seeing your wood ornament painting video) I painted family ornaments for all my friends. I love handmade gifts - painted ornaments, cross stitch stuff, or even having my kiddos paint stuff for family, friends, and teachers! I also love the meaning behind your cloud rainbow painting. I suffered a miscarriage before my first son, and it is still the toughest thing I've gone through. It was such a super blessing having my rainbow baby! 🌈 Also also, I've batched cross stitch patterns before so that I could have the same pattern design to give to family members. So efficient!

[@melindarivera6598]

I absolutely love watching you paint water. I've had to have watched that big water painting that you had in the background of your videos for a while probably 10 times at least studying how you do it and just enjoying it.

[@Littlewings1211]

Same! 😂

[@sweethaven5]

I am not a painter so I have no paints or supplies. (Colored pencils are as far as I get) I wish that Arteza would have included paint and supplies with those wood slices. I really enjoy watching you, ChloeRose, Moriah Elizabeth, Jazza, and Sarah Renae do painting and other artful things. Thanks so much for sharing ❤😊 FYI I did buy the deluxe box, hopefully I’ll get the holographic one about your twins ❤

[@SJO1408]

I absolutely LOVE your moths! They are just gorgeous and are so inspiring. Absolutely beautiful! Love your videos, keep up the great work mama!

[@lindasullivan8745]

Recognising loss is such a noble thing to do as I have actually miscarried twins myself many years ago …to know someone else understands the way it feels makes me appreciate how to support others going through what I have gone through…xxx

[@matishtar]

As always I adore your animals in clothes, happy to see the anthropomorphic bunny. But I absolutely LOOOVE the moth ornaments! They're so gorgeous. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@Blick_Art]

Mira Byler, you are a painting machine! It's amazing how you shift from motif to motif, subject to subject. Right after we get ourselves another piece of leftover pumpkin pie, we're gonna paint us some ornaments too!

[@brittany-parks]

Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing about the loss of your babies. I too lost my baby boy in between our daughters. I am so glad God blessed you with twins. ❤

[@OverlittleStreet]

When I went on my walk today, I realized how much detail is in the water and I thought about your water paintings. I love all of these ornaments 💜

[@aludrakijurorin]

I love that when I pause your videos to get up and do something real quick, it usually happens to be on a still of you grinning and smiling and being such a positive influence. Thank you for being such a wholesome artist

[@fuzzydragons]

the moths look nice, and the cracks add more character to them 😄 hmm favourite candy? def sour patch kids😀

[@sagorikaadhikari6043]

I love all your ideas and painting! Thank you for the cheer.

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

Blubblflies and the rainbow babies are adorable!! 🌈 They made me so happy!! 🥰 I wonder about blubblfly angels? Rainbow angels would be cute!! 😇 Your critters are very heartwarming! ❤️

[@Larems879]

LOVE the longer video! I was so inspired I bought a 30 pack of wood slices. Favorite candy is sweet tarts- the big ones. Favorite season, winter, by far!

[@sheepnhaystacks]

Love the moths! They hold a special place in my heart. Beautiful art! Thank you for sharing your talent with us!

[@attorneycarissa]

I love your kind and supportive nature. You're so encouraging, it's really nice.

[@artsynora5682]

All of them looks beautiful 😍 and I'm very happy that we will have more videos this week! Thank you very much for all ur hard work 😊

[@MusingsFromTheDen]

Twins?! Oh, I'm so very happy for you. 🤗 The ornaments are so pretty. 😊

[@theangelfreak]

Thank you for everything you have given me my happiness back and love of art xx love and prays to you and your loved ones ❤️

[@nezukoismywaifu]

My favorite candy right now is Nerds. Thank you for this video. It helped me feel less anxious and let me concentrate.

[@stephaniesellars6975]

Absolutely Love everyone of the ornaments!!! You are a Fabulous Artist!! I hope You and your Family Have a Wonderful Holiday Season!!! Much Love and Happy Vibes!!!💖🎄

[@HeatherBryant22]

I can not believe the babies are 6 months old, time has flown!! I don't have a favorite candy since I bake a lot lol. I love the ornaments:)

[@derekburgenske4507]

Hi Mira you inspire me every art supply I own you have you have made me a better artist and person thank you

[@melw7450]

these are all so cute! I make ornaments every year for my mom and aunt and it's always fun.

[@EmberShadowtempest]

This was a lot of fun to watch. I was painting ornaments myself at the same time. Though mine are the traditional ball shape and abstract. I love how bright and colourful yours are. It's neat how your able to do so many styles. The blubble flies turned out really cute. I'm excited to get a tree this year it will be my first in my own place. I like the idea of changing decor with the seasons. My favourite season is winter. Don't really have a favourite candy.

[@dianeo]

So pretty. Glad to see some moths on these ornaments, too! Favorite candy has to be Reese's Peanut Butter Cups... and Mounds bars.... and 3 Musketeers... and oh... all of them, sigh.

[@jilllusey7001]

Great video. All ornaments are adorable but I love the moths! Well done.

[@JarOfLooseScrews]

These are very inspiring. I've got a load of little wood slices my friend gifted me and I've only painted a couple. Art constipation be real, but these cute paintings make me wanna break out the acrylic paint again. Thank you for your video : )

[@Shayward911]

I cannot deal with the Blubbleflies 😍😍😍😍 you're just so cute! I love listening to you and watching your videos 🌹

[@bethn2836]

Reese’s Fast Breaks and Take 5 are my two favorite candies too! Kit Kats are number three.

[@edc9864]

I have been doing this every year since the first video you did. These are great gifts! Sometimes my kids make some which is fun too! ❄️

[@martinaspohr2663]

I have to say my favorite ornament’s … the moth set is absolutely gorgeous! ❤ Your art is delightful and brings inspiration to all. 😊

[@ChantelleArts]

These all look amazing, great idea 😊

[@slateportraichu5416]

Thank you for the inspiration -now I want my own ornaments! They all turned out lovely=3

[@ashleysjuts8292]

I just love your content and beautiful spirit. Thank you so much for sharing it with all of us.

[@shannonclapperton9492]

The moths are the best - so beautiful.

[@CreativaArtly]

I’m actually painting wood ornaments for my coworkers and bosses currently for work. It’s so fun!

[@bcgirl73]

I too love painting wood slice ornaments and the cracking drives me nuts. I’ve had some huge cracks that have completely ruined some of my ornaments. So far I’ve found a coat of mod podge before hand helps. Love the moths btw 😀

[@jessomint]

This is an amazing idea, and I love love LOVE how yours all turned out! I'm taking inspo from your video and making a bunch of my own ornaments to gift out this year. :)

[@paranoiarpincess]

The Elated ornament with the star is my favourite of the batch ♡.

[@wintersprite]

Great ornaments! I got two Arteza ornament wood slices in the 12-Day calendar and painted one of them so far. I like that they have holes pre-drilled so I don’t have to do it myself.

[@paranoiarpincess]

I was born with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, and I was born in Canada. The two things all Arthritis hates the most are damp and cold. Canada gets snow in the winter. Snow is both damp AND cold, so needless to say, my favourite season is summer too haha.

[@dani-mitebakes2064]

They are all so fun! So favourite non-chocolate candy is Sour Patch Kids, but my favourite chocolate bar is Burnt Almond. And then I’m a fall fan myself! Minus the wasps.

[@Taracinablue]

Aw, how sweet =) I especially like the blubbleflies =)

[@bethn2836]

Your moth paintings are always so swoon worthy. 😍 My kids and I love to look for moths and butterflies on our walks outside.

[@allypbnn]

These are so beautiful! Your blublefly creatures are so sweet and you should think about writing a childrens book about them. Maybe even a series of them and even stuffed animal ones to go with the book. I have followed you for a long time and I remember the first time I saw one it was maybe in a light bulb and it was like nighttime navy blue and it was sleeping or something like that and I thought wow these are so adorable and special and magical. Such a creative mind you have to come up with such adorable little creatures! Just throwing that out there about the book. Your so talented! I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and New Year’s! P.S. love the bunny in the sweater!!🎄

[@lindastowars7346]

WOW - LOVED EACH AND EVERYONE

[@jackiekillian1292]

I love your paintings!! My favorite candy is Hot Tamales.

[@nodippy]

this was such a cozy to watch, thank you :)

[@MrsBTeachesSci]

I love hearing the sentimental meaning behind the rainbow painting! I hope you have a magical Christmas season with those adorable littles! ❤

[@farahalmahmoud5054]

omg these are so adorable!!You inspire me a lot... thank you so much!!!!

[@jessbutterfly1934]

I’m crying I just watched this and wanted all or any of the moth ones and they were all gone but I can’t be to suprised they are stunning. I’d love you to do them again on paper and make prints

[@liesbethartlife]

Beautiful paintings of blubbleflyx they are so joyful

[@SashaFitzgerald]

Your ornaments are stunning!

[@mincastamtam]

These turned out so good! I especially love the bunny one. I am still painting my batch, also doing this every year. Last year I did eight, this year I am doing 18 and keep wondering what I've gotten myself into. 😂😂 But it is so much fun!

[@dimcclung]

These are all so great! I remember someone mentioning there’s a sealant or something that prevents cracking. I can’t remember!!

[@rakhitiwari3971]

They turned out so good. I Love your art

[@meganpeca5585]

This was a really fun video. I love the blubblefly ornaments. They are adorable. Happy holidays,Mira.

[@JayofallTrades]

I just bought this set of ornaments and I've been trying to decide what to paint on them. Thanks for the inspiration as always. ❤️

[@blackrose538]

The turned out really beautiful! I have painted on wooden slices, too. It was really fun. :) My favourite season is probably also Summer and my favourite candy... that's a hard one... probably Reeses Peanut butter cups or Bounty.

[@salonitanna3166]

Your videos are so inspiring! I just drew some of my own blubblefly designs! You are like my fav KZbin because of your kindness and humor!

[@abigailgovender6132]

Please can you do some more Christmas sketch art . Love your Chanel 💖 Can u do it a bit more often . Congrats on your twins Hun 😘

[@abhishekgouraha2646]

Wow! The pieces are amazing! I absolutely love you art.

[@brittanymclarney3238]

I love that bunny behind you. SO MUCH! … your twins are fraternal right? You mentioned twins run in your family. So fun! My baby is my rainbow baby too and about to turn 1!

[@jessbutterfly1934]

Just an idea if you put down gesso first that will create a barrier to anymore moisture seeping any further which will help with cracking

[@gabbywilliamson76]

Looks like fun ☺️

[@meghanh8468]

just got a pack of these today!! thanks for some ideas!

[@annihull6373]

What a fun video. Thank you for taking us along on the journey. That looks like a lot of fun. Trivia question: Would using some sort of gesso or ground potentially keep the wood from cracking? Although I agree with you I think the cracking gives it natural charm. Like old-fashioned back In the olden days. :-). My watercolors are nearby I think I'm going to pull them out and do some painting. Thanks for the inspiration. Blessings.

[@christinegelormino5594]

So cute!

[@smccormack428]

What a fun video!!!

[@olyviaariel4905]

Ok hear me out! Blubbleflies that have occupations like an artist, teacher, scientist, graphic designer (me) dr. Etc. these would appeal to so many people and I’d LOVE to buy some!

[@Cxrriemc]

Amazing as ever, they all look so cute! The moths are by far my favourites🥰 I can't wait until you can ship to N. Ireland again and I can grab some artwork or even a mystery box ♥️ (no pressure btw, I understand the struggle and it's an absolute mess right now for business trying to ship in!)

[@tamannagoel8393]

LOVEE your paintings!!! could you please make a tutorial video on how to blend acrylics b'coz i just can't get it right :( thanks!!

[@artandmorewithrachelnicole]

Love your channel 💕

[@cherriemater]

10:18 It's gonna be Blubblefly-liscious!

[@jamieroberts269]

The moths are such pretty colors. What kind of paint and what colors did you use?

[@MariaRevArt]

It's hard to pick a favourite candy bar. Maybe a Snickers or a York Peppermint Patty. Love all things pepperminty.

[@benedettakiriaki]

I love Pasteli (Παστέλι= Sesame seed candy) Have a lovely day!💖💖

[@Littlewings1211]

So weird, I have literally just started to do this exact same thing! I did a mini snow scene to practice with and then I painted some of them completely white apart from the edges. I also ordered some clear gesso so that I could try to keep some of the wood visible. I haven't finished the video yet so sorry if you cover this but I just wanted to ask, what do you do on the back of the ornaments or do you just leave them blank and that's where you can see the wood texture?

[@paranoiarpincess]

Not sure if you saw my tag on insta yet, but your moths inspired my most recent painting and I posted it yesterday. I tagged you today too because your florals also inspire me. ♡

[@brookestarr3703]

Christmas jumper with the rabbit in a jumper on it pls or even the feeling sketchy jumper back in stock 🙏

[@sunshinedesigns9303]

For ppl who may not want the cracks, is there a way to prep the wood or cure it b4 painting it to prevent the cracks?

[@MiraByler]

Good question. I’m curious too!

[@ChristinaTodd1970]

My favorite candy is the little unwrapped Reeses

[@icanhazKnit]

I really want to know more about the oven electrical fire! Did it do any damage?

[@MiraByler]

It destroyed the stove. The wires in the back panel caught fire and it was done after that. And we had to have the electricity in our house essentially redone. Thankful the wall behind the stove didn’t catch on fire!

[@olyviaariel4905]

You need a mini tree in your studio full of blubblefly ornaments!

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

I don't eat a lot of candy these days, and I can't have the kind I truly love best (cuz I can't have chocolate).... but I have a real sweet tooth and LOVE candy.... so it's hard to pick ONE favourite.... but.... Caramels or wherther's original, are in the top 5. My favourite Season was Winter, for most of my life, but in the last 5 years or so.... I think it's Fall, now.... because winter isn't like it used to be, and there's mostly only the "bad parts" about it, left..... but I still can't help but think it's BEAUTIFUL when everything is snow-covered.... and Summer has always been the one I like the least, because of the bugs and my allergies, and the heat.... But.... Summer, like every season has it's pros and cons. Your ornaments are all great.

[@ShahanoorMamun]

wondwerful sharing

[@jessieoakes8033]

Lol I love the crusty water glass… I have a crusty tin can I use 😂 and u don’t even want to see my paint palette 😂🫢🥴

[@lindasullivan8745]

Anything with dark chocolate or a snickers..x

[@PhireJoy]

I can’t believe your candy answer! I actually ate a Reese’s Take 5 bar at the beginning of this video!

[@tameramorrison8966]

Your tree is up already? I guess with it being the twins' first Christmas, you'd want it up as long as possible!

[@MiraByler]

My tree always goes up right after Halloween haha!

[@jordanleighwheatley]

I'm sad I missed out on a moth but I'm happy to have an elated one nonetheless!

[@liesbethartlife]

My favorite candy is one that is NOT available in Belgium … peanutbutter m&m’s . We have them in like ‘geek’stores or stores with international foods but it’s like $ 7for a small bag so totally not worth it for more than once a year

[@nikkischreiner2466]

I love the Blubbleflies! And it's so cool but your viewers named them! I only found you recently so I'll have to go back and find that video. I have these little creatures that are kind of inspired by elephants and caterpillars so they look a little weird but I need a name for them lol

[@Littlewings1211]

When you showed your hot chocolate on camera I genuinely thought that you had managed to get paint in your cup and I was thinking 'that's so relateable, I get paint absolutely everywhere when I paint too!' and then you were like "I added sprinkles!" 😂 😂 😂

[@liesbethartlife]

This year I’m skipping Christmas/new year holidays, going through a very hard time so not worth to just be ‘happy’ and pretend I’m fine. Also no decorations or Christmas tree, but that’s something I skipped already 2 years in a row and not missing it

[@lovelexie1945]

Since I am new, I am unsure of what a blubblfly (sorry if I butchered it) actually is, but they seem like very gentle and adorable little creatures. ^^

[@lashellesix459]

my favorite candy is reese's pieces
