Thank you very much :-)

I always learn something new when I watch your videos. You are very creative!

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you Joan. I am always pleased when people tell me they have learned something :-)

Beautiful colors, quote and tag. Thanks Rach.

Thank you :-)

[@dorothyzorn4828]

Whimsical is the word of the day.... love the whimsical flowers and colors.... always a treat to watch you work, with all the wonderful details, never remember seeing the Caran D'Ache Neo colors before but was intrigued by them.... thanks again so much you bring brightness to the days and always inspire us to push forward and experiment.... thank you and Merry Christmas!!

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you Dorothy, glad you liked it. I don't use Neo Color 2s that often, but they are a wonderful medium to work with. They are similar to Gelatos, but way more pigmented.

[@dorothyzorn4828]

Are they available in the US ? Do you know, I have tried the Gelatos and really love them... thanks again @@artfulevidence

[@artfulstitchery]

@@dorothyzorn4828 Yes, they are available world wide. They are a fine art material though, so can be quite pricey unfortunately.

[@susandee2022]

Love the colors and the tag, beautiful!

Very nice....love the colors!

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you :-)

[@joymontague251]

Wonderful!! Funny when I first saw these I thought they were baubles and kept thinking if they were upside down they would be baubles. I have a LOT of tags cut out ready to decorate_ so I really appreciate this video. Thank you.

[@artfulevidence]

They would make great baubles - Perhaps an idea for next year ;-)

[@mankymcmank]

I was going say welcome back, but apparently KZbin just hasn't been showing me any of your videos for months! I have so many to (happily!) catch up on. Great art as always, there is something about the colours you use that always makes me smile 😊

[@artfulevidence]

Thanks. You Tube changed some time ago, and now subscribing to a channel doesn't mean every video will appear in your subscription feed. You have to click on the bell notification button below a video to activate notifications if you want to know about every upload on a channel. Kind of annoying, but that seems to be the way most social media platforms have gone for whatever reason.

[@mankymcmank]

@@artfulevidence I've seen people saying that for a while, but I didn't realise just how much of an issue it really was for creators until now! I'll just have to suck it up and turn them on, I don't want to miss that many of your videos again.

[@quadraknot]

Brilliant! I love your attention to detail.

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you :-)

[@dragonriding1]

Love your work Rachel......

[@nancybeebe7622]

Awe Rachel I found you. Lost you for a while and I absolutely love your work

[@christinehowell]

The thing I particularly like about your work is that every time I think you've got a great finished item, you do more, and then more, and then even more. You know far better than I do what makes a great finished work, but I'm learning from you!

[@artfulevidence]

Thanks you. I'm glad you like it :-)

[@nitahenderson4298]

I was very happy to see the neo colors. I have been waffling about using mine as I was not sure how to incorporate them. I simply love that you use all sorts of supplies.

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you nita. Neo colors are a lot of fun to work with, hope you are inspired to use your's :-)

[@debterry1007]

[@janecameron7498]

Fabulous tag.

[@suebouch4074]

Hi, Rachel... I'm always so glad to see a new video from you and still pleasantly surprised by their perfect timing. I love this project! From using Caran d'Ache Neo Color 2's to the quirky JOFY stamps and all the various elements and quote that work together to create such a beautiful tag. Thanks for taking your time and energy to share your creativity with us! Have a great day!!! :-)

[@artfulevidence]

Thanks very much Sue. I hadn't used my Neocolors in a while, but I always enjoy them when I get them out as they are so intense and vibrant. I know a lot of people like the Gelatos as a similar product, I really didn't like those at all compared to quality of Neo Colors. The JOFY stamps are also some of my favourites due to their whimsical, fun style - I wish I had more of those, but don't we always wish we had more, lol. PS: I hope you received my email, thanking you for your much appreciated act of kindness last week (or was it this week, I don't remember lol). Have a great day too :-)

[@suebouch4074]

@@artfulevidence Yes... I did receive your email which was so sweet of you to send the thank you note. This probably will sound either amusing or odd but I struggled with whether to reply or not because I didn't want to abuse knowing your email address or take even more of your time.... Sigh... Decision making is not one of my strong suits! :-)

[@artfulevidence]

@@suebouch4074 You are always welcome to email me anytime. I just wanted to make sure you got the message because it meant a lot to me

So chilling, calm :) Rachel, can you make a greeting card one side like this soon? to gift to people.

[@artfulevidence]

I probably wouldn't make a project exactly the same as this, but will try to make some cards in a similar style when I have time :-)

[@craftyscissors2609]

Pretty :)

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you :-)

[@cheriewheatley8442]

I just love this tag Rachel! Your art is amazing and so inspiring. I was wondering what you painted the stems of the flowers with? It looked like some sort of paint. Thanks for sharing you talent with us! Hugs!

[@monalcreates]

Wonderful!! :)

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you :-)

[@melaniegoosen7196]

Hallo Rachel. You must have answered this question a few times. Why do you stamp the focal image with versafine and not archival? I love your nail art... Hehehe

[@artfulevidence]

Archival ink is needed over a non-porous surface - the wax in the pastels created this on this piece. (Even after it is dissolved with water, it is questionable that you have dissolved it all, and made the substrate suitable for an alternative ink). Versafine is a much blacker, more crisp ink, so whereever I can use it (porous surfaces), that is always my preference. Unfortunately, Versafine does not dry on non-porous surfaces like over wax pastels, acrylic paint, or over polymer based mediums etc, so Archival is the best ink to use in these situations. Hope that helps :-)
