UNBOX MY NEW TUFTING GUN W/ ME! Will I Do Resin Videos Again? & Tufting Puffy Clouds ☁️

[@Katieopolis]

As someone who hyper focuses on different crafts for differing periods, I totally get you on the switching things up and I’m so happy to hear you’re doing something you’re enjoying. I love your videos no matter the medium. Thanks for posting!

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you!! 💕❤️

[@nicollewheeler2600]

Crafting is all about trying different mediums until you find the one that brings you joy and you love doing it. It can take years and years to find where you fit in. I’m so happy you found that place. Feed your soul and let yourself be free to be in that place. We all support you and love what you are doing.

[@angiedewolf6512]

Don’t be afraid to put your true self on video, after all your genuine personality and excitement for trying new mediums, is what keeps us coming back to your channel! The very thing you are worried about is the reason we are all fans of Heather….💖

[@dh7217]

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

Artsy Mad People 🥹💕 I appreciate you!

[@083purplecola]

It is so nice to hear you say that you are fulfilled and that you're enjoying your art. As always, I appreciate you taking us along on your artsy journey. The side paths are so fun! ❤

[@JulieRohrer]

I just want to say I LOVE watching you evolve and decide what you enjoy and what you don’t. I’ve been around since the drying flowers days and all your projects and new endeavors are so fun to watch unfold! I hope to buy one of your rugs one day because it would be so special to me, I just enjoy you so much! Happy crafting!

[@habeybaby77]

Please never apologize for feeling happy & fulfilled! That's absolutely amazing news & I'm happy to be here watching whatever you feel like doing🩷🥰

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

🥹💕 I appreciate you so much!

[@cheekster10]

We "all" change our minds and switch to something else. Go with what makes you happy Heather! I know that I enjoy everything that you do. It is interesting to see all of the work that goes into tufting rugs..... wow alot of work. Be happy and never stop being creative. We all appreciate what you do whenever you do it.

[@Stef_T-G]

I discovered you because of the resin content and I'm still here! I love watching anything crafty! The most important is doing what you love! When you love doing something it shows and when you don't it shows too! So people who don't like the tufting can stay of go elsewhere! I prefer someone who's enjoying what they do to someone who doesn't!

[@WavyMack]

Heather, this is your journey. You should never feel like you have to change your journey to please someone else. If someone doesn’t want to support you along the way so be it, you make so many others happy. And most importantly you’re making your self happy by doing something you love. Keep it up!!

[@RoeRoe123]

Girl you're like me. You like doing it all and trying new things. Making beautiful things but the rug creating really gets me and I haven't done my first rug yet! I have everything ready. Never feel guilty like you're abandoning anyone. Those who really love you will be delighted ❤

[@msapplestreuddle]

You named your channel Artsy Madwoman. Continue to be just that! Change your mind and chase your fancies 🎉 We love ya for it 🫶🏾

[@emjaytea1982]

I still have about half the video to watch, it's still playing on my TV (because the whole family loves watching you!) .... but I got all verklempt about your tufting journey and how proud I am of you as an artist and a creator. Just. Freaking get it. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 You know what sparks joy? YOUR JOY. That's all I wanted to say. 💕

[@Kaycyd]

I started watching you when you were working with resin. I fell in love with all your videos. I remember you tapering off and just started getting into tufting rugs. It was very different but interesting at the same time. I did look into tufting as well but knew I wouldn't be able to make them. Which is ok. I have so many other crafting interests that I don't miss not trying it. I can enjoy watching YOU make them! :) I am the same way. I watch crafting videos on YT and think to myself, "That looks interesting. hmmm. I wonder if I can do that too." So, on some of them, yes, I try my hand at them. Mainly just to see if I can create with that medium. I think the rugs are really awesome btw! And not every crafting medium is for everyone. :) That's why there is so many different ones out there! I haven't watched you in a long time but I'm really glad I watched this one. I can see how happy it makes you and that is what matters most. How a craft makes YOU, as a creator, feel! You go girl!

[@AndreaAlexander]

Heather! Please don't apologize for being excited and inspired!! 🥺❤ Finding new things that excite you, following those interests, and seeing where they take you are totally natural parts of being a creative person. Your videos are a documentation of you and your artistic exploration, and those who get it will stick around and support you no matter what medium you're working with at the moment.

[@teampatsy9856]

A GHOST done with the long pile gun would be awesome 🤩

[@andimc34]

I will watch and have watched anything you do. I love the resin videos, but I love these too! Do what makes you happy and makes you feel fulfilled. ❤

[@kathytarman2302]

You do what ever makes you happy. What ever you do will make me happy. I love everything you have done. Thank you.

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

🥹💕 I appreciate you so much!!

[@prettynsleepy1073]

7:06 omggggggggg yesssss I love both. Golden girls all the way.

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

Right?!! Haha

[@KatieSmith8]

I love all of the crafts you do so you do you. I am so all over the place when it comes to crafts so I i never commit to just one. I want to do tufting so bad it looks so fun. Im so glad you are happy and your channel is called artsy for a reason it isnt called heather does resin lol. Know you inspire me with every craft you do. Thank you sincerely

[@Legendthree3Dreams]

I’m glad you’re being true to you. I feel like so many of us can relate to you. I’m the same way when it comes to all the different crafts I enjoy. Keep up the awesome work. Can’t wait to see that cloud rug.

[@melaniehenshaw8696]

I wish I could pick one craft and become an expert. But I have every craft known to man. Except a tufting gun. Just live your best life do what makes you happy. Watching you makes me happy so everyone wins. ❤️

[@vonkatartistry]

Cant wait to see the cloud one. I love clouds 😁😁🫶🫶🫶

[@MOLLYLUNCHCO]

It was nice hearing you describe your feelings for your current art practice. A wonderful example of what it's like to come across a "spark" in your life. Feeling inspired, engaged, and excited to learn more/evolve/experiment. I love that feeling. I pursue it every chance I get. Thanks for sharing that.

[@emilyforster6993]

That gear cover is everything. My biggest fight with my gun is yarn getting stuck in the gear, and I'm obsessed with the clear handle. 😍🥰😍

[@mikorey2917]

Those clouds take me back to when I was a kid (many, many blue moons ago), I literally begged my mom for one of these cloud fantasy tufted wall hanging, even took it to university. Can always do with a unicorn or Pegasus 😍😍😍

[@funo6581]

I’m so glad you changed your frame, I was worried about you falling while holding a very sharp tool. I guess that’s a Mom comment or in my case a Nana one.😊 I suggested a sturdy stepladder, your solution was much better! Over many years, I have tried plenty of different art forms.. Pottery, Ceramics, Sewing, Woodworking, Oil Painting and eventually Stained Glass. I enjoyed most of them.. some more than others. But, Stained Glass was my passion. When I was in my studio, hours would fly by and I never even noticed. I was fortunate enough to do what I loved professionally. Most people aren’t that lucky. Keep doing what you love and don’t let anyone take even a little bit of that joy away from you.❤

[@mtc-3charis]

Sparkles... as it should be!

[@noahgray182]

Always follow your heart!! Keep making art that speaks to you and makes you happy!! ❤

[@jennyvanderbilt1763]

Love the Monstera rugs, those are gonna be awesome hallway runners for sure & puffy cloud for the win! And as someone you've inspired in the past and currently, it's not about you staying hitched to one type of craft or video. You're the package, the crafts are just the wrapping paper.

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

🥹🥲😭😭😭💕 i appreciate you so much!!

[@riannonwhitford5883]

Hey heather I came across your videos when I started getting into resin and I’m absolutely obsessed 🤩 mainly because I have always loved jewellery making when I was a teenager in high school it was what I wanted to do. But then I had my daughter at 19 so I just focused on been a mum and forget about it. But sadly she died in a tragic car accident in 2020 she was 18 nearly 19. So I found someone to teach me resin and it’s been a great outlet for me in traumatic experiences in my families life. So seeing your resin videos early one giving me tips and tricks definitely helped. But seeing your confidence grow with the tufting I can see you have a real passion for it ❤ so keep doing what you really love ❤and you know what I’ll keep watching. And you know what creative people well I know from my own experience and with adhd I hyper fixate on one creative on one thing for a while and then eventually it doesn’t maybe give us that same joy 😢we need a break we can come back to it also later on x

[@NeonBananify]

Heather, I just want to say you inspire me as a fellow ADHDer, you feel so warm and familiar, and your success and artistic joy brings me so much inspiration and joy! This is YOUR journey! Were here for the ride!!

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

🥹💕 I appreciate yooou so much!!

[@sistahatchet9100]

So many things you say in these blogs-I feel like we could talk for hours about rugs, ideas, other arts… Tufter to tufter: the reality is we just can’t help it! If tufting is meant for you (and obviously it is!), its hard to pull away to focus on other arts. I can totally relate. If being creative makes you happy, CREATE! Whatever medium you choose, whatever the outcome, YOU ARE inspiring. Never apologize to the critics! Never change what you’re doing creatively if YOU are happy. Especially if it’s to appease someone else’s expectations for entertainment. It’s impossible to make everyone happy all the time. Everyone’s happiness with your creative choices doesn’t matter, yours does. I’m not into making resin art (I’d like to but…eh); however, I’d watch you [perhaps learn along the way] just to watch you create whatever it is. You see, it’s not just what you make- it’s how inspiring you are while you’re making [insert project/medium] that makes it, and you, so worth watching. I can only imagine how happy that long pile machine makes you! I was giddy myself seeing you pull that out of the box. It’s beautiful! And wowza! That’s the perfect length for this unicorn I’m working on! Tell me more about where you got it, please? Was it similar pricing to a standard machine? Ship time? Now I’m debating on starting the mane this weekend as planned or waiting to order one of these myself….oh the heartache of love at first sight!!!

[@sistahatchet9100]

No need to answer the questions! 😂…. I hit pause as you made your apology (to write the previous comment) and then finished watching the vid. Of course you linked that info!…. 🙏🏼 thank you!

[@Starlightxxoo]

I felt what you were saying about changing crafts and finally finding your passion. Girl enjoy every bit of it!

[@caylarivera2804]

Hey I see alot of comments agreeing with this pov, but I think it's important to get funky with your crafting life! I have so many different crafts that I have tried and loved and they are on the back burner for now, until I get inspired to do them again. Right now yarn and wool based fiber arts is the most fulfilling for me, so I get where your coming from. As one of my knitting podcast hosts Tayler Earl calls it, we artsy people can be multicraftual and that's okay 😊❤

[@penelopebakken4480]

WOW!!! That's going to be awsome!!! I enjoy watching you with all your different projects. But I know what you mean about the tufting making you happy....it shows in everything you say and do! You do a wonderful job . Keep tufting and be happy!!!😊❤

[@abbyferrari]

I came for the resin but stayed for your personality, so no matter which medium I'll be here 😊

[@blueeyesandchubbythighs3049]

I absolutely love your resin videos, but I actually found your channel a long time back, while looking for information on rug tufting. I hope you stick with doing what makes you happy, because in the end that's what matters the most!

[@teampatsy9856]

I watch you because I find you entertaining and I love your passion. It doesn’t matter what craft your doing , I love it all. Just like you , I also have a workshop in my house with a 1000 things going on at once so I get it 😊

[@CenoteCaveQuestMX]

Its so wonderful to hear youre happy with where youre at right now. ❤

[@hopegold883]

I mean, monstera leaves are pretty flat. And you’re right, people will trip. 🤭 But I can’t wait to see clouds in different colors! It just looks so inviting. If you put those big fluffy. Clouds on the wall behind your couch think how relaxing.

[@mcuttercreations]

Heather do what makes you feel good don’t worry what other people think if they care about you they will follow you no matter what you do❤

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

🥹💕 I appreciate you so much!

[@wonderwonder30]

It will be really interesting to see how you shave that cloud down. But that tufting machine is fantastic, I am a little jealous of the poofiness 😂

[@migdaliapinto4548]

I watch your videos cause I like your personality. You're talented yet sweet and humble. ❤

[@mtc-3charis]

Do what feels good, baby! If your happy doing what your doing, keep doing. I enjoy unplanned rides! Lol!

[@aislinraina]

I'm along for the ride no matter what you're doing! I love that you love what you're doing 💜

[@VeeGeeBajeebeez]

your simultaneous enthusiasm and confusion in this video is PEAK Artsy energy lol

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

Lmao 😂💕

[@oOxPookyxOo]

Giiirl, I love this “rickety ride” ❤ You inspire my creativity immensely simply because you do what you want and feel in that creative moment, so you do you boo 👻❤️‍🔥

[@debbieschoop-wilson3612]

No need to worry! It's allllll gooood!!! Anything that you do or decide to do at a future date will be, and is appreciated. Believe me.

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

💕🥹 well I appreciate you!

[@shirleyandersen4724]

love your rugs and you put so much TLC into them.but i still miss your other crafts as you were so good with them .and done some unusurel designs but keep doing what you love and enjoy🙋‍♀🐨🦘🦘.

[@tonibroaddus]

Life is a journey and there is different scenery all along the path your path is your path if you are doing what fills you with joy that's all that matters I enjoyed your resin videos then and enjoy your tufting videos now thank you for taking us on the journey with you

[@prettynsleepy1073]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I’m so excited for this video. Eager to see what magic you create now with your new tufting gun

[@jrhhyde7512]

You should not have to apologize for doing what you love and we all evolve our interests change and we learn new things. I call myself the bipolar crafter/maker/artist because I have a hard time sticking to one thing and I definitely do my art seasonally so that affects what I’m interested in and what type of crafts I want to do I think your stuffs great and can’t wait to see what’s next❣️ I’ve been watching you from the beginning and it’s been a fun ride🎉

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

Yesss, this!! I appreciate you so much!! Ahh thank you for being here 🥹😭💕

[@missytyrrell1]

So, if I understand you correctly... it's all there. 😆 I'm so happy you've found something that lights you up. Oh and, by the way, I'm guessing most of your subscribers - including this one - would watch you do whatever. 😊

[@tracymorgan2835]

started watching you as i wanted to learn resin but love watching you grow as a fantastic artist in all your mediums, please keep it up

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

🥹💕 I appreciate you so much!!

[@FantasyANgelMakeup]

Love those rugs !!! Your energy is so good

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

Thank you so much 🥹💕

Ooh, this is the kind of tufting I can really get behind! It's SO FLUFFY!!!☁️🐑🐩☁️

You do you i enjoy your company whatever u do. Im really enjoying tuffting journey

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

I appreciate you!! 🥹💕

Just so happy for you!

[@vonkatartistry]

Its important to do what we love. Our mental health comes first 🫶🩷

[@VeeGeeBajeebeez]

I would love to see your interpretation of the care bears only it's 'scare bears' Sponge Bob windows/jellyfish/ memes would also be iconic

[@prettynsleepy1073]

I still miss the resin work. Maybe someday you will revisit those videos! But I want you happy creating the art you love. 💕

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

I appreciate you! 💕

[@susannasalonpaa2173]

Omg you glitters 😮 Don't put it away 🥺 You can send it to me, i have good home all glitters 😅 ❤ Anyway, i am Happy for you, that you do what your heart want to do ❤ And this new tufting machine looks so awesome! 🤩

[@mandicoleman7433]

Holy sh*t that a lotta fluff....I luv it 😍 ❤

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

Right?? Haha

[@marciaj.7735]

I loveeee it❤

[@jenm6712]

What if you make a moss rug with different "types" of moss at different pile levels?

[@spookiestgecko]

Just an idea, maybe it's too late or maybe it'll be a good idea for another one, but instead of yellow diamond sparkles in the sky, what if it was just another shade of blue sparklyy yarn, if I was able to buy a rug I'd definitely want the sparkles to be sparkly if possible ✨💖

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

Ooohhhhhhh sparkly yarn!! I’ll definitely look at Joanns today for sparkly yarn, that’s a good idea! ✨💕

[@spookiestgecko]

@@ArtsyMadwoman heck yea lol I wasn't sure if u already tried it and it didn't go well cus sometimes the sparkles r just lil streamers inside and maybe that doesn't work and I was just generally overthinking it 😂👍

[@paullott8921]

Hi I love your work you look so happy I wish you would consider Wearing a mask I have read something about it a fan she

[@athenasea]

Hi 💗 lurker here to say that no matter what medium your passion takes, I'm stickin around ( unless you pull a doja cat and tell us to leave I guess oop- lolllll) . Personally I can tell that you are a lot happier tuffting, and as someone who probz has some weird parasocial relationship with you, I'm happy that yourrrrr happy. I found ya cause I like crafting videos but I stick around because of your personality. Also as someone with super cute awesome anxiety as welllll, I know exactly where you are coming from, but, I hope you can follow your passions comfortably without worrying about us. I don't even tuft LOLLLLL. Base level, DO WHAT YOU WANT and I'll stick around, I'm gonna try to start commenting more. More encouragement for our Artsy Madwoman the better MHMMM!! 💖 kae byeeeeee

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

Hi!! Aww I appreciate you soo much! & everything you said 🥹💕 thank you for sticking & for being just lovely ❤️

[@kellieprice8776]

What about shaggy animal faces with the new toy?

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

Ohhh I love that idea!! Omg a shaggy tiger rug 🫢💕

[@SongWolf27]

Just face it, you're hooked on rugs! LOL Better than drugs, 100%!

[@vickistone3700]

how is the weight of the gun?

[@PrincessJazmina]

You’re so beautiful and caring but don’t focus always what makes others happy. If you’re not happy you sure as hell can’t make others happy!!!

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

Very true! I appreciate you! 💕

[@PrincessJazmina]

@@ArtsyMadwoman One more thing… even if it’s your “JOB” and while doing it you notice it doesn’t spark joy, then you’re not creating with love! When something is created with love it is always more beautiful and priceless!! IMO you got burned out and the flame was no longer there! I’m sure within time the flame will return for everything Artsy you have done and new sparks will appear as well! Myself I use to love flipping furniture but it became a job and no longer was healing for me. Now I’ve started doing acrylic fluid art and get so giddy whenever I create something! For me creating is comforting and allows me to feel peaceful and happy without big pharma! I just need to learn how to sell my art just to be able to keep creating! That’s my biggest issue and goal! I find it very nurturing and euphoria seeing others enjoy the beautiful creations I have made.

[@Bexinmo]

Why does my mind immediately go to murdering someone with that thing?

[@silenttoeitreatment]

Awww, that's bad ass the transparent handle

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

Right?!!

[@silenttoeitreatment]

That's a big ass gun lmfao

[@ArtsyMadwoman]

Lmao it really is 😂
