The Sketchbook Project, the cover

[manlikezebraman]

What was that spray thing you used at 4:16?

[NolwennBC]

@manlikezebraman Hi there ! It is just canned air. You can buy it where they sell stuff for computers, it is used to clean keyboards ;)

[ninjaofthe9seas]

very cool touches with the canned air and the powdery stuff. :D My bff and I have joined for this year's sketchbook project. :3

[NolwennBC]

@ninjaofthe9seas Awesome ! are you enjoying it ? what are you themes ?

[ninjaofthe9seas]

@NolwennBC So far i havent done much with mine, I colored the pages with tea so they have that...tea look. My theme is Prehistoric and hers is My Little Companion or something. :3

[tracyfeld]

LOVE this video!!! Thank you for staying inspired and inspiring. I started my sketchbook this weekend -- "I'm a scavenger." Pulled out a box of stuff I was going to scrapbook from a trip thru Germany TWENTY YEARS ago! Don't think I'm going to get to that scrapbook. LOL. So... I have "scavenged" all those bits and pieces to use in my sketchbook. So far, it's fun.

[misaluv87]

Wow that's an awesome sketchbook

[NolwennBC]

@misaluv87 Thank you !

[BurningSuburbs]

i chose "Adhere to me"

[NolwennBC]

@BurningSuburbs Cool ! Are you feeling inspired about this theme ?

[blissartworks]

Oh I love that Nolwenn. I never thought of using one of those canned air things! Sweet. This is a wonderful video and a lovely cover as well. Can't wait to see it in real life on the tour.

[NolwennBC]

@blissartworks Thank you Kim ! Tell me what you think when you'll see it on tour ;) I still have to really begin it. Harder than I thought.

[TheAmpleGoddess]

AHH!! Canned air for cleaning computers! Brilliant idea! I just make myself dizzy blowing through a straw. LOL

[NolwennBC]

@TheAmpleGoddess Lol ! At first, I didn't even use a straw, I just "blew" on the ink... I saw this idea on Tim Holtz blog, he used it with the alcohol inks, so I tried with my acrylic inks: it's perfect ! But the effect is slightly different depending on with what you blow on the inks ;)

So much fun !!

[HoopoeSpirit]

Really awesome video!

[NolwennBC]

@HoopoeSpirit Thank you !

[TheMaryannk]

The theme I chose was From morning til night.

[NolwennBC]

@TheMaryannk Sounds really good !

[TheMaryannk]

I enjoyed your video alot , I too am doing the Sketchbook project , I hope that you will put more vids up of the journal , as I will be putting up some vids of mine as well.

: P

[NolwennBC]

@TheMaryannk I am happy you enjoyed it. What is your theme for the sketchbook project ?

I plan to record EVERYTHING but maybe not sharing all the pages it until it's sent back -I want to people to still be surprised when they'll see it on tour-.

[scrapacat]

Awesome! I love the colors, the whimsy and texture, yet the subtle seriousness conveyed by the title and zen patterns.Very cool!

[NolwennBC]

@scrapacat Thank you so much, Ky. Sending you hugs.

[Eurydiceb]

wow tu as vraiment bien réfléchi, et le résultat et étonnant et très réussi! J'ai hâte de voir la suite! Bises! (Ankolie)

[NolwennBC]

@Eurydiceb Merci Anko ! En fin de compte je n'ai pas tant réfléchi que ça, c'était pas mal dans ma "comfort zone" pour débuter ;)

[KitchenOfTheSoul]

So much fun!

[NolwennBC]

@KitchenOfTheSoul I'm happy you enjoyed it :)

[MissSofyKoolaid]

J'aime beaucoup! Et je n'aurais jamais pensé utiliser de l'air compressé pour souffler sur les gouttes d'encre. J'adore cette technique!

[NolwennBC]

@MissSofyKoolaid Au début, je soufflais "simplement" dessus, et ça donne des choses super également :)

[Lifeunity]

NOLWENN! OH my GOODNESS!  That is absolutely amazing. I almost wish I hadn't watched it until I did my cover. :) You are such a fascinating artist...I am so in love with the wide variety of techniques you used and the resulting cover! Can't wait to see it when it goes on tour!!

[NolwennBC]

@Lifeunity WOW I'm blushing... Thank you for your kind words, it goes directly in my heart.

[MandieSpires]
