Painting on RANDOM things I Found at MICHAELS

[@mattiekitty]

That light-up shadow box is so fun! I want to do one now! 🥰

[@jollyverma2363]

Three videos from Mira in one week is insane!! Also, this series is so fun. Micheals has the best stuff!

[@HumdrumCurio]

They recently put so much stuff on sale too! I need to paint what I already have and I want one of those light up shadow boxes 😍

[@mig3153]

You like her? I hate her.

[@matishtar]

Lovely! 💚 But can I just say, I'd love to see some thrift store makeovers instead of painting on new stuff. I like seeing old objects get a new life, it would be much cheaper and more sustainable! Win/win!

[@oldladyfarmer7211]

Now I can't wait to go and get one of those lights to paint with my Great Granddaughter. Thank you for sharing!

[@artsielifestyle8355]

This is one of your best series ever.

[@kimberlie127]

The houses are amazing and the box is so cute!

[@recoveringsoul755]

That scene shadowbox that not only lit up, but was also magnetic for ease of painting, AND it was on sale. Wonderful!! The only thing that would make it better is if it let light shine through from behind the windows too.

[@jordanleighwheatley]

That little village is so cute. I love cities that have those tall, skinny townhomes all in a row. It's so satisfying to me

[@madysonkay5931]

So I used to draw and paint all the time, for the past couple years with all that’s going on in the world I lost inspiration and motivation. Your recent videos (and old) videos have really inspired me, I went and bought some fresh acrylics and some smaller canvases and I’ve been painting like crazy… ♥️ they’re not perfect I’m just happy to be creative again. 😌

[@_ok428]

Hi Mira, I just wanted to thank you for your content, it brings me so much joy. It helps me realize that my art doesn’t have to be “perfect” and to really enjoy the process , rather than putting so much pressure on the final product. I love your art and keep up the amazing work😄

[@jackiekillian1292]

Michael's here I come!! I love,love that light box.

[@smccormack428]

I want to thank you. I have been wanting to start a KZbin channel for a while. Your great and approachable videos have encouraged me to get started in 2023. Thank you for being my change.

[@jenniferharlow4603]

That light box is so stinking cute!

[@paulalister80]

Wow the starry night house sky one, fabulous, such a standout. Both are wonderful.

[@jamieroberts269]

OMG! I never bought those boxes because it’s so hard to paint behind stuff. Your telling me they came apart all along!🤯 Projects came out so cute.

[@LeanneRaina]

We are blessed with multiple Mira videos this week! Those are such cute customizations and I've never seen anything like that shadowbox. The holidays are just such a fun time to explore creativity! Thank you so much for the video and I hope you and your family are doing well 🎄

[@michellehopperartist4904]

Love these - especially the shadow box💕!!!! My fave ! You Al sways make me smile with your candid authenticity!!!

[@azzuparis]

The winter scene came out gorgeous and cozy 😍 I love using the dotting tool so I totally understand your obsession 😂 Thanks for sharing this video, Mira 💕

[@MusingsFromTheDen]

The snow scene is beautiful! I love the gifts too. 😊

[@marisafaith]

I just found myself this wood thingy at Michael's. I'm super excited to make it look artsy-fartsy. I never would have thought of doing it this way! If it looks even half as good as yours I'll be a happy girl!

[@mackkzz]

The present matches your good trees in the background perfectly!

[@annihull6373]

So fun to watch and they looked so fun to paint. I was awed by the magnet system for the shadow box picture too. Blessings

[@TwoWitchyMoons]

I don't know how you ended up in my feed but I'm so glad you did! Your personality is hilarious! (And do I spy Artistic Bear Co. brushes? )

[@mommakhajiit9317]

I would love to see more of the light up shadow boxes! I'm obsessed with how neat it turned out! What are they called? Do you remember who made it? I'd love to look into different themed ones.

[@Taracinablue]

The little town scene came out lovely! What a fun video =)

[@myaanguiano4518]

I love that you give such good advice in all of your videos. You are such a talented artist and you have inspired me to make art however I want. I love all of your art and videos. I also love how you make your art for everyone not just professtionals. Keep staying positive like you always do.

[@EmberShadowtempest]

I think sometimes the nice thing about being a kid is we haven't got all the "rules" of art locked.into our minds. So we don't see a reason why the sky couldn't be say orange or whatever we want. Let's real creativity come out. Not that there isn't value in drawing things as they are either. I like the layered light box alot. I used to work at Michael's as my first job it was always hard not to spend my paycheck there lol. They always have neat holiday stuff. It was nice having so many videos this week. I've been depressed so it's nice to have something to look forward to. Thank you for all the work you put in to your videos.

[@MiraByler]

Ahh, that’s such a good point about kids not having various art “rules” drilled into them yet. Such a great perspective. Thanks for sharing that! Also, Michael’s sounds like such a fun job!! That would be so hard not to buy all the cool stuff they sell. Glad my videos could cheer you up this week. Sending you lots of love. 💜💜

[@heidischeck3523]

Lol! Oh my goodness! I bought a couple of those shadow boxes at Micheals too, and my reaction to them being able to be disassembled was exactly the same!!😂 And then you paint it and paint it pretty week the exact pallet that I was planning😂😂 Great video❤

[@CassiaDee]

The house scene turned out sooo perfect!

[@winterillust]

love the scene with the houses and the painting turned out so cozy.

[@brendadepue7683]

Great projects! My daughter works at Michaels. Thank goodness for employee discounts! So many fun projects to buy and create!

[@mimiadams247]

I love your content in general, but I think this may well be my all time favorite video you've done! Thanks!

[@MarissaKay012]

This was so cool to watch! These turned out BEAUTIFUL!! You are so talented.

[@renmcg12]

In LOVE with that snowy scene shadow box, it turned out so so cute!

[@allisonluke850]

I love your artwork Mira and your products you’re selling on your website ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jessomint]

I loooove the house one! Thank you for giving us so much fun content! It's very inspiring!

[@clellasher7473]

Awesome result Mira!! Thanks for sharing👍

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

I wish we had a Michaels in the UK! I love that box with the little houses and lights. My heart leapt when the different sections came apart. That was perfect for your purposes, wasn't it? I wonder why it was made like that? Either way I love it! If I see one of those anywhere, I am gonna get one for sure! God bless you and all those you love Mira. Have a great week!

[@theartofetta]

So pretty 😍

[@Miss_Art_Lover7]

Yes!!!!! You are so amazing hope the babies are doing well ❤ you are my inspiration I hope to be good like you I think I am good but I don’t know 😢❤❤❤❤

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

Those are gorgeous!! ❤ So handy to have it come apart!! 🤗😍

[@NikitaBx2]

I love the winter scene!

[@em.be.]

Hi Mira! I absolutely love the way the shadowbox came together. Your art is so inspiring and you always radiate positive energy. Also, another word for “unbagging” could be haul :)

[@dimcclung]

These turned out great! BTW, I love your enthusiasm and positivity.

[@slateportraichu5416]

Such a cute houses scene=) The present is also lovely. Thank you for the nice video=)

[@lotusflowerpassion]

oh wow love that little house scene what fun .

[@sunshinedesigns9303]

So gorgeous!! I love them!! 😍👏 Keep it going Mira 😁

[@fuzzydragons]

Michaels is so dangerous to go into lol😝 that little ton thing is so cute, and very handy with the magnets, the designers thought ahead with that design. lovely painting job on it

[@kristymabe8477]

Love that shadowbox!

[@Sylphinator]

those came out so cute!! I kinda wished the lights would have reflected through the houses too =( but so worth it for the price.

[@MiraByler]

Oh, that would have been perfect! They missed such a good opportunity with that one!

[@zaraheart]

I love these types of videos. I’m a new sub(found you through Moriah) watching people customize random things is my favorite. I blame Moriah and Jazza for this lol

[@Miss_Art_Lover7]

You got some cute stuff ❤ Can you paint a cat in flower Fields❤

[@JayofallTrades]

I love the lightbox. I definitely have to find that at Michaels. You make me want to paint things and add to my holiday decor.

[@ericad3850]

I just love this video so much! I've been sick with rhinovirus and an ear infection, so I cannot make any art right now. It's great to see you have fun with art, though! I hope you're doing well. Ciao!

[@gabbywilliamson76]

Love them both!

[@angelsdoexist]

They came out so cute! 💕

[@rof8412]

Can't wait for part 2! I had to buy one of the winter scenes for myself. And I'm going to try to make some of my own rainbow ornaments. I just love them so much.

[@hcondrack]

Mira, you need a lazy susan. Its a lifesaver for painting as well as sculpting.

[@dianeo]

You're spoiling us with these daily videos 😄I love it! Love the custom holiday designs. 😍 Make sure to sign and date your creations. Your background and lighting looks so golden and festive!

[@fzzypurpleturtle]

The little Coppenhagen scene omg that was GORGEOUS

[@fzzypurpleturtle]

Like do I need to drive to Michael’s rn?!

[@myyoga8spa]

I looooove the house 🏡 framed diy 🥰👍🏻👍🏻

[@salonitanna3166]

I love how you post so often! It keeps me so inspired

[@beverlyfamily4156]

Love your art!!!!

[@lauriebrunk5446]

So very cool!

[@angelarenea3171]

I LOOOOOOVVEEEE THESE VIDEO'S YOU DO!!!! "PAINTING ON RANDOM THINGS"!!!!!

[@bonmargarette7610]

Always love all ur vids mira! But im still waiting for your custom painting hydroflask video 😉

[@WhimsicalNarratives]

I really want to go get this shadow box!! Might have to make a trip to Michaels to see if they have any left!

[@lotteschuijtx]

It would be nice if u painted behind the house windows light yellow, so it also looked like there is coming light out of there! But look awesome

[@doninis1354]

If you have something rocking you can use a sock filled with rise or sand an rest teh peace on it. I like to engrave an I use a seat filled pillow (heat pad for the microwave) works fantastic. The thing about costumizing is 1. It is unic. I love reuse and upcycling. 2 you can do your style wether it is the way of drawing/painting or in your room design. Your outcome is great, I am now watsh part 2.

[@MariamAhG]

You're such a brilliant artist!! Love all the content and art you're posting this week! Just wow 💕

[@SunKissedPeach]

You remind me of my friend Reshell, very sweet, I like the detail and care you put into things

[@jasmin.nussbaum]

You're so awesome, i love your Stuff and i love u

[@Wolf-jg9fl]

Could it be that you can paint on the other side of the wood with the houses and trees too? I am thinking that it is supposed to be variable, so you can paint one winter and e.g. one summer or autumn (/whatever) scene and turn each one around if you feel like it or seasons change. You could create even more scenes if you turn 1 or 2 around and leave the others (which probably only works when it’s snowing in any or none of the parts) I hope you may read this and try it out 💓

[@TheMissshay24]

I love it.

[@andreatorraca8755]

Adorable🥰

[@ilhaamibrahim8026]

Yayyy new videoooo!!!!❤️

[@kymdalton7277]

Love these videos and especially a Christmas one!! Quick question...when you did the berries on the gift box why didn't you do the berries with the dotting tool? I agree though...it's the process that's fun plus it's something you made that noone else has so there's a proud feeling too 🤩 love love the light box, you made it look so pretty

[@MiraByler]

Great question! The berries were too big for the dotting tool. That would’ve been awesome though! 💜

[@kymdalton7277]

@@MiraByler lol I thought that might be the case 🤣

[@kwdkctln]

The berries kind of disappear but other wise what a cute idea.

[@zaraheart]

No mistakes, no crusty, only happy accidents and bliss

[@UniquelyPenny]

Sticker or pencil case idea “paint brushes at the ready”! If you have glow in the dark paint it would be cool to paint stars on the outside of the box.

[@nogies_art1057]

😍 its looks so beautiful!! why don't we have a Michales store in Israel 😢

[@KBish]

Hey Mira admitting you have a problem is the first step! He-he😂 totally something I would do! You with the bags really tickled me.

[@yvetterodriguez4850]

GIRL, Please please please STOP calling your stuff “crusty” or “nasty”! You’re a busy and super talented artist (and, hello a mother ❤️🤷🏻‍♀️👏🏻)I’m not a teensy bit as talented or busy as you are and my water cups look exactly like yours … and ALL artists!! So what!!! 😉

[@HumdrumCurio]

You must be new here. Mira is not being judgmental about having crusty paint brushes. Perhaps the word nasty is harsh but she certainly hasn’t put any moral value into having dirty art materials. She has stated multiple times that not cleaning brushes can damage them in the long term and that her spray bottle doesn’t look pretty but that they work for her and she is a busy artist so those things won’t be changing any time soon.

[@melindarivera6598]

She is just being funny. Also, I think it is somewhat of a branding thing. Most people on KZbin have sayings, or things, they are known for, some come naturally, given by the viewers, others are created or started by the KZbinr, like this one, but it ends up being a branding thing for them. It's a good thing.

[@yvetterodriguez4850]

Ummmm, not new here at all Boulder. I get it. She’s being “funny” ha ha ha. I’m just commenting. Please don’t feel as if you need to school anybody. Love Miranda. Just snarkily (but lovingly) snipping at her as I would to my friends. … stop typing

[@Stacy_SJA]

@@yvetterodriguez4850yeah I get it! Especially when we compare to our art space (at least mine😬😬)

[@silverhoney6969]

I agree! Your palettes and brushes are like the cleanest I’ve ever seen an artist be 😂 psssh I wish my stuff was an clean. And your poor trusty spray bottle, I’m always like “where??” Now your water cup- that’s another story. I am so anal about having clean water and clean cup, I spend like half my time dumping and cleaning the water, but no no he has time for that and a messy work surface is a creative zone!

[@sreelekshminair5778]

Oh my gosh Mira! All the things look so beautiful now : D I love the art you do and the positive vide you bring about..... ♡ u .')

[@silverhoney6969]

Mira I love your videos and this was very fun to watch! But why oh why didn’t you use the ME Doting tools for those red berries 😂

[@MiraByler]

Those berries were way too big for dotting tools! Good question though lol!

[@reganstandlick7520]

where do you get the unicorn milk?

[@andree-annblais9221]

Ok, now I wanna run to my nearest Michael's to get that little box with light.

[@kaylaantoine2817]

There called holy PS love you and your videos

[@bookshelfhoney]

The closest Michael's to me closed! I miss it!

[@briedewitte9100]

I have that box and the trees do come out too

[@jmsl910]

[@missmasoniawilliams842]

@MiraByler366 Okay. Where to?

[@deliasmom6059]

When I was about 10, we were supposed to color a map of the world. I colored the land blue and the oceans and lakes green. Lol

[@melindarivera6598]

"Yoda Best Wife" 🤣🤣🥰

[@hanna2695]

12:15 I remember when I was this age we were like “coloring pictures of ourselves” and the one boy in my class was (still is I guess) color blind and without knowing, he colored his whole person green and I remember our teacher being genuinely angry with him because he “knew he was color blind and should read the crayons” I always think about it cause why did it matter so much that a 6 y/o made is self portrait green

[@HumdrumCurio]

When I’m painting 3D objects and it won’t sit still I’ll use my kneaded eraser (or some other removable prop) to create a temporary cradle for it. You can put something between the object if you are worried about damaging it

[@MiraByler]

Thanks for the tip!

[@alankohn6709]

I would of either painted the area behind the houses yellow or put a piece of yellow paper behind them to make it look like the lights were on
