What is Hobby? Sat Chat 2-24-24

[@AKM8829]

Yeah. After planting 45lbs of potatoes yesterday I am ready to just sit on the couch, drink my coffee and watch sat chat. I always enjoy sat chat. Getting some of the stencils today!

The stencils look like they would be so much fun to use and certainly practical also! I love seeing the paintings in your sketch books! They are so beautiful! I am glad you are feeling better after your fall! Have a great week!😉🤗

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thank you so much!

[@mjpete27]

Hullo Lindsay, I believe that you are still one of the most original persons on KZbin! I cannot see anyone else telling viewers to look through their stash and NOT buying your new product! I am not a hardcore sketchbook user, yet if I am trying to figure out how to do a project or choose colors etc, that’s what I am going to use a sketchbook for. I watch so many supremely beautiful sketchbook videos that I can see why so many people are intimidated by comparison to those artists! Thank you for sharing all of your thoughts and ideas from this week! I love the idea of your new product and I am hopeful that you will sell out the first run of them! I have liked every paint product that I have purchased from DaVinci Paints of California! I love their watercolors and I have purchased the mixing set of gouache. I have mentioned my tumultuous relationship with gouache before so I have not used the set up! I have used more of the white than any other color! I know that you will create a fair review and since you use gouache so much more than I do, I am sure that you will be more knowledgeable than I ! I understand the pressure of other reviewers but I believe that you will offer your own opinions about the gouache and your experience with it. I will say if you do or don’t like it just say that! I am a true believer that not every product is for everyone! I am still at a loss as to why anyone would like to use a watercolor paint that does not easily rewet, does not contain what the company says it does(precious gemstones) and is higher priced than every other brand! Yeah, you know what I am talking about! Please take care, be safe and enjoy your weekend!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks 😊 I told the folks at craft stash that I wasn't going to make a product that collected dust in people's studio or would be cast aside when it was out of style and I don't want people feeling pressured to buy anything that won't be useful. I'd rather have a few less dollars in my pocket and a clear conscience.

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Another fantastic Sat-Chat. Thank you. Thanks for the tip of the dividing of the spaces on the sketchbooks.

Good morning. I have taken Sat chat into my own life, by that I mean I look back at the past week and go over it. And this things that were good I tell myself to be proud of and those that were not so good or made me angry I let go of. This makes for a great weekend. I wake up and am so sore , and find that I am in the same position that I fell asleep in. I look forward to your video because I have never had a good chair. Now that I will be retiring I plan to craft a lot more💕💕

We Hoosiers say if you live in Indiana,you can expect all 4 seasons in one day!! Great Sat Chat today. Love the stencils. Years ago, I bought the Fiskers hard plastic stencils to go with my Fiskers cutter. Of course I had to buy every one of them, but now I have another idea for using them. Use what I have is my mantra! Have a fun weekend!❤

[@thefrugalcrafter]

[@saral.1933]

Hey Lindsay! I am currently working on one small and one large project. The interesting thing about the small project, a still life fruit bowl with a sterling silver bowl: it was sketched quickly on a small piece of defective, old watercolor paper that produces spots when you paint on it. Once I realized the sketch was coming out well I froze up and completely ruined the silver. I could not scrub off the heavily staining mixture. I used to create the gray. So I developed a plan to allow me to repaint the silver bowl without touching the fruit. I am practicing until I can do that well. Haven’t finished but I will! If you are interested in hearing whether or not it was a successful attempt, let me know. I am curious myself to know whether I can pull it off. L O L.😂 Happy Painting! SARA

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Sure, are you going to stick with watercolor or finish it I gouache or something else?

Tip for hot glue on the wall. If you put a piece of painters tape on the wall then the hot glue on top of that, if you change your mind you peel off the wall and no more glue. I've never used it on a textured wall but worth a try.

That's some really good product design with the stencils! You are a true pro. And I was delighted to see that shop ships all around Europe as well (and free)! Your sketchbook pages look so inviting I want to start painting right now. But this made think of when you talked about languages and international audiences. I think I understand 100% of what you're saying, _except_ when you talk about measurements. Inches make no sense to me so you might as well have changed into a different language. xD No worries though, I'm sure they will work with our paper sizes as well.

The templates are great! I am not a sketcher but I love the examples you showed. You could punch a hole in the inserts and put them on a metal ring to hang them with the larger ones.

If you ever want to remove a hot glued item from a surface, you can use dental floss. Just get a piece of floss and put it behind the hook (etc.) and slide it back and forth. The item will pop back off quickly. You can heat it a little but it is usually not necessary.

Your hair is getting so long! I bet you'd look really cute in a high ponytail with a bandana tie ~ maybe for Sat Chat sometime?? That's about all I've got to say this week. 😀 Happy Leap Day on Thursday!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Great idea!! I wear bandanna a lot in the summer!

I didn't notice any volume issues in the podcast. We come to learn & visit with a familiar face. Not to analyze editing & audio skills. If that isn't why the viewer is here shame on them.

Aww, than you Phillip, I just want to put out good quality stuff:)

Hobbies are important, I think. Do you still juggle? Or roller skate?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Yes! Although I don't skat as often as I like since my local rink closed.

What happened to the pottery has that become a hobby? I like sketchbooks as finished work they store in the bookcase and i go back to them like photo albums.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

True! I haven't done it lately tho lol!

[@katarinaholik]
