 I'm here if anybody comes over, one watching, somebody's here. I think the delay is less here than using the encoder. Let's see how long that takes between when I type that. Oops. Okay, the delay is much better over here than it was in the other area. We had a problem with the encoder. The delay was really bad. I can't say that the picture is super great. I have to get closer. That just might be where I have the camera sitting. Let me move it so you can actually see my face. Hang on. Move it back where it was. You see my hand, yeah. There we go. Oh, a good shot of my boobs. Okay, so I just did that. That's only a few second delay. That's much better doing it this way through Google Hangout than through the encoder. I think we solved a huge, gigantic problem. Yay. Yeah, I'm looking at my keyboard. Well, not my keyboard. I was typing. I'm looking at the screen. I should be looking at the camera. Huge improvement over the time delay. If we can just get me used to positioning the camera in the right place, most of the time when we are doing these live broadcasts, you won't be looking at my face. You'll be looking at the desk. You don't need to see my boobs. Really don't. We're not on Periscope where they all ask. That's all they want to know. Like, seriously. Victor, I'm sorry if you're here or Mark or any of the rest of you. A bit disconnected. What do you mean by that, Teresa? A bit disconnected. I like that there's only a few second delay. You guys are funny. I like this. This is much better. The delay is not that bad. It's only a few seconds, just like if it is on Ustream or Periscope. I'll do my best. Sound far away. That's probably the microphone on the webcam. I don't think, I don't know if we want it. Do we want to try the other microphone again? Last time we did that, you got no sound. Under a minute delay, it's fabulous. Do you guys want me to try the sound is good there? So it's very similar to Periscope in picture and sound and delay, hopefully. Is anybody else having an issue with the sound? I can plug in the other mic and we can try it and see what happens. I have no idea if we might lose sound. Oh, you need to turn the volume up. Okay, good. Yay. It's not me for once. Woohoo. So I only know how to do this Google Hangout live setup because of Lindsay the Frukelcrafter. Thank you, Lindsay. She, I guess, does it this way through Google, which is easy, very easy, than dealing with the encoder. But now I know how to do both and I want to be printing out both directions and sticking them in my planner. So we'll be doing it through Google Hangout. I know when I have meetings with my admins and I'm picking the brains of my art friends and all of that, we most of the time do Google Hangout because it's just easier and it's not grainy, no buffering and all of that. I've just got to remember when I'm done doing this to turn all my devices back on. I guess they're all off for a sleep now. Holy moly. I love Lindsay. Lindsay's fabulous. She's a fabulous artist, crafter, YouTuber and fabulously helpful to anybody who asks. So yeah, who doesn't love Lindsay? Party. Why am I saying party, Theresa? You hear my stomach crumbling? Did you hear that? That's bad. So I'm still working on my additions to my book, which would be why I had my glasses on. You should be, as long as you have a webcam on your device, you should be able to do this. Now, most of the time, like I said, you're not going to be looking at my face and I have an HD webcam, but that means that if I do this, it takes a second to focus. So every time I move. So when you're looking at a stationary object, like the piece of paper, you're going to have less of that. There'll still be a little bit of it. But a webcam, even an HD one, is not as good as a video camera. But there's just no way around that. The quality of the broadcast depends on the camera that you have. My old webcam, which we did use earlier this week, was not bad. The HD one's a little better. I'm staying in focus. Yay! Well, my lighting is good right now. Yesterday when I was filming the vlog, the sun was setting and the lighting was really bad. I started doing it when the sun was setting and I had no lights on in the studio, which was not good. And no more buffering problems, right, Rosemary? You got to do a happy dance for that. Yay! Thumbs up for everybody. So yes, you should be able to do this with a built-in webcam, any webcam. The better your camera is, the better a picture you're going to get. And you know, it's funny, it's not... Well, I don't have my overhead lights on. Hold on. Not that that's going to make any difference, because the little light bulb in the ceiling doesn't do anything. Yay! It's keeping up with me. It's learning to multitask, unlike its owner. Oh, yay. So yeah, this is... We're going to be doing Google, the simple one. We'll just do Google. I'll just come on here and set it up like I do with the other broadcasts on YouTube, but we'll do it... We'll do it here. And... Well, part of the reason for that, Hickety-Pickety, is that I am sitting in front of a window. This desk where we're sitting at, this is my computer desk. That table behind me is actually my art desk. And the lighting is set up back there to film. And over here, it's really not. This is just where I do most of my typing and everything. And... I'm sitting in front of the window, which, you know, you can see the reflection sometimes of the blinds on my head. Yeah. So that's because the light coming in the window. And the dog is like right there. His run is out that way. You know, it'll be even louder when you hear him bark. I'm doing face ones. That's a good idea. Let's try that, Michelle, and see what it looks like. I've been working out four to six days a week. And I think I pulled a muscle or something in my hip. My hip is killing me. Corky. So that actually makes my face better lit than all those lights on behind me. So I always announce before I go live on all social media, I'll post it all over Facebook, especially. If I remember, I'll put it on Google Plus. And I... That's not a bad idea to do it on the newsletter list. Now that I have one, if you're signed up on the newsletter... Let's see. I'm writing this down, so I remember. Let me use the other pen. Tinkerbell pen. Now let's see. Notice before live. Facebook. Google Plus. And let's see. If I can come up with a little thumbnail picture, we can do it on Instagram, too. Okay. And Twitter. Oh, an email list. That's why I wrote it down, because you said to do it on the email list, which is a good idea. And then I didn't write it down. I think that this does work better than Ustream. Now that I think we have the bugs worked out of it. Everybody can log on. They can find me. It's easy. And you can see the chat. You know, my issue with Ustream is always, I can't see the chat. I have to have like, you know, crazy devices set up and crazy. I have to have like every iPad in my office turned on. And it's just insane. You guys haven't seen my desk too much. The way it looks with the tripod and the YouTube, the iPads one on YouTube, one on Periscope, and then I've got the phone up here and the camera over there. Hey, Victor. And I think this is just easier. I'm still going to have to watch my own broadcast to see all the comments, because when we're doing an art tutorial, I'm either going to have to risk getting my keyboard messy. Or we're going to be over there. My back's going to be to the monitor. So I'll probably still have to watch my own broadcast. That's not a big deal because I have three YouTube accounts. Only one that I do my channel under. So I can, I do follow my own channel on one of my other accounts. So I can watch my own broadcast and it looks like with Google Plus, that's not going to be a big deal. We don't have the buffering issues and the delay time delay. And I freak people out like when I'm dressed like this, Teresa. So when I leave the house, I try to remember to put a sweater on because, you know, in California, people, you know, if it's 55 degrees outside, they're freezing it in their snow gear. So, but I'm, you know, I'm 52, I'm menopausal and I'm hot all the time. So yes, Shannon, I'm here. Yay. Breaks throughout the stream. We definitely, I always am up for questions throughout any of my live streams. And one of the reasons I'm doing it is not just to do a tutorial, but to answer questions. We had problems with the encoder, Shannon. We switched to the Google Hangout way and we seem to have delays or buffering. So I'm not sure Mormon boys visited. You know, we have a, if I don't know you don't knock on the door thing on the front door, they still knock. So I'm, but I'm always up for questions. And this was just meant to be a test to see if I could get on Ustream Live. And, you know, thanks to Shannon and Lindsay, Wyrick, the Fruickle Crafter and Cinnamon Cooney, they all kind of created a YouTube live for dummies or idiots for me. And so now I have to make some notes. How many tattoos do I have? So I have this one here, which isn't Ohm. Sorry, this one, which isn't Ohm. That found, stands for the Divine Power of God. This one is an Enzo with a lotus in the middle. It stands for Enlightenment. And then I have a large Tinkerbell tattoo on my leg with a bunch of flowers and hearts. There's a lot of symbolism behind all of my tattoos. I don't know if there's a time limit. I don't think there is. And I will be on here at least an hour every time I'm on. I passed the test. Woo-hoo! I don't know what test I passed. Getting on YouTube live. Yay! Yeah, that's a good idea. Put Gladwrap over. Because then I could see the questions and we don't have to worry about turning a device on. Because my question would be concern over turning a Wi-Fi device on and screwing it up. So every Wednesday at 10am Pacific Standard Time I was live anyway. But now instead of on Periscope and Ustream I think that we are not going to do either one of those and we are going to be live at 10am Pacific Standard Time starting tomorrow on YouTube. Yes, it should be recording to my channel. So you can watch it later. And every other Monday I was doing a live broadcast for Monday with DecoArt and I think that we may turn that into an every Monday. And again it's probably going to be now on YouTube live instead of on Periscope and Ustream at the same time. I might as well do it here. It makes my life easier. I like that. Yeah, so all the tests I'm going to delete some of those crazy tests. And yeah, and YouTube is better because they get paid for it. Well, yeah, a little bit. We're not getting rich. I'm lucky if I can just, you know, thankfully I am not like some of my friends including Shannon whose husbands out of work were able to still buy groceries and pay the mortgage. But you know, I do, you know, we're careful and we have a kid in college. So we're college poor. So I need to pay for my own art supplies. So it would be nice if I made enough to do that. So now I'm just using this through Google Plus, Victor. It's a Google Hangout and so I think this is the way to go. The picture is clear. The audio is clear. There's no delay. I need to remember to sit up straight. I have a habit of ouching so that's not good. Hey Patty. Yeah, so pick my brain. Patty, I had to get the YouTube live for idiots from Shannon. So what I found for me and for my setup worked better. Yay. Okay, so all the all the advice I got from Shannon for using the encoder which I tried was great. But with my setup because my whole electronic system in my office is on Wi-Fi and the hard wire to the internet is in my husband's office that for me I get a better picture, better audio with no delay using the Google Plus, the simple. But definitely will help you. Shannon and I will definitely help you. You know that. So I love that, Shannon that it boost your engagement like crazy. I love that. So let's do that because I need to make more money and I'd love to be able to help out with some of those ginormously expensive college books that my daughter is having to buy. Yeah. Well, I waited a long time to have any kids. I had some issues with that. So I lost four babies before I had my daughter. And I ate my way into, you know, anyway, that's a whole other story. So anyway, I didn't have Rebecca until I was 31. And I only had the one she was a difficult delivery and the my husband almost lost both of us. That's the short story. So I just decided that, you know, one was good. Yeah, thanks. I yeah, so it's not something I talk about. So yeah, so nobody's home when I do live broadcast, Shannon, so I'll either be arting at my desk here so I can see the monitor or I will be doing what I was doing, which is watching my own broadcast on an iPad. And that's a trick that I do for Patty to that you might want to be aware of is one of the tricks I do when I'm broadcasting live as I set up one of our iPad, many iPads we are electronic heavy around here. So I just grab I just grab one and I watch my own broadcast on it while I'm broadcasting. I turn the sound off so I can see all the questions in the chatter. And I have, yeah, I have three I have three admins to help. Yay, actually four because Anne is an admin too, but she's not on a lot. Yeah, well when Bob is here, I'm sure he'll be happy to help. He does have a funny idea for doing a poor as me you know, sort of public service, YouTube channel announcement, you need to support my wife because I'm in the poor house, which is hilarious. Shannon, you and I should talk about it because it's a funny idea. I, you know, I only know enough to be dangerous. That's what I tell people I know enough to get myself in really big trouble but I am married to a techie and he's the one that said, hey, you should just get an HD webcam when that other camera started dying and that I should watch myself on one of the iPads. So I don't know. And the lighting is now really bad. I just, yeah, you know, sometimes when I broadcast I have two iPads because I'm simulcasting and one iPad is watching me on Periscope and the other one's watching me on Ustream not signed in because then I can't see the chat. I don't speak any Italian. I got the chow but my grandmother didn't teach us anywhere. Any, so I you have to translate that for me. Yeah, he was going to dress in rags and he was going to talk about how poor and broke he is that I spend all of his money in art supplies, you know, like supporting public television that you need to support my YouTube channel so it doesn't cost him so much money. It's actually pretty funny idea. I don't think I'll do it but it's a pretty funny idea. Yeah, Michelle would be chatting in my ear. Yeah, it was just, yeah. I've tried all kinds of crazy things, Patty. If you want to pick my brain any time. It's not a problem. Right? He's a pretty funny guy. Yeah, he was going to, you know, cover his face into it and, you know, talk about how I'm taking him to the poor house. I know, right? And now I'm then I'm a certain size YouTube channel like Patty and Shannon. They're bigger than me. Don't get me wrong. I'm not in their level yet now that I've gotten over 5,000 now you start to get people wanting to send you things. So it makes it even worse besides what you order. And I'm just reading your comments. So I'm just going to be adding some color keys to my watercolor workbook that we've been working on. I decided that I wanted to take my book with me. I'm going to be going on a couple of different vacations this year and some at least one of them involves art shopping. If I decide to buy any paint, it would probably be watercolor paint. So I want to make sure that I have my book with me to not only like do, you know, practice in, but that I don't buy something I already own. So I was just working on these today when I decided, you know, me and all my brilliance to try YouTube live because, you know, squirrel I get distracted really easy and yeah, so here we are. Michelle, you're so funny. I don't know what to buy. Ha, ha, ha. I'll clue you and Michelle watercolors. Yeah, I like watercolors. If I'm going to buy any paint, I'm going to buy watercolor. It's my favorite. When I started painting, it's what I started with was watercolor. So I still love mixed media. I love working with, you know, clay and other stuff. But yeah, I really get annoyed with myself, Shannon, the same when I buy something I already own and when you've been doing art and crafts for a while, like most of us have, your collection becomes so big that it's really easy to, you know, buy something you already own. So when I'm going on trips and I know there's going to be any kind of arts and craft shopping involved, I usually try to do something where I have some kind of notes or something about what I have. I still sometimes come home with duplicates. Oh, and you know what I'm realizing? My giveaway is I need to draw my giveaway names. I'm not going to try and do it while we're on right now. Yeah, I have my book that we did with journaling crazy island style and I, if I'm doing serious shopping, I take that with me. It's not updated right now though. It's part of the problem. Teresa, you're funny. You know, now though, I have so much stuff and I really don't need anything that I, yeah, the drawing is today. I can do the names live right now right here. Let's see. We have three names to draw. Hang on a second because I'm not looking at you. I've got a log in your rafflecopter. So I've been to a couple of stores this week looking in the clearance aisle and I own so much stuff that I you know, I was in Hobby Lobby this morning and I left without buying anything because I didn't really need anything what I was looking for they didn't have. Yeah, see, that's my problem Shannon. I have one but I haven't kept it up to date. I'm doing another one but it's just only for watercolors and it's something I work on during the live broadcast. I have trouble keeping them up to date too and I get distracted and then, you know, I don't want to be bothered. Yeah, mine's never up to date so it's kind of a problem. Okay. So we are going to go into rafflecopter and I was giving away because of my hitting 5,000 subscribers three of these travel watercolor kits. The bag is from Staples. It's a Cynthia Rowley bag a little zipper pouch and inside is filled with a pen and one of my stamps Mini Mister a mini watercolor kit with some of my favorite paints in it some watercolor paper a little notebook that you can do sketches or something in and some collage papers. So we're going to give three of these away and we'll do the drawing life. I think it's a fabulous idea and we'll talk about something only a few people know right now too. If you're on my newsletter list, you know, if you watched my blog, you know but if you didn't watch the blog yet you don't know. Let's see. Let's do the names first. So pick a random winner. Here we go. Number one, Wendy Mason Wendy Mason you are a winner and I'll address that in just a minute. I saw that. Let's see. Add a winner. Number two, Liza Joe Liza Joe, you are a winner and one more Maria Maria Kingsford, you are a winner. So those three people are winners and I will make sure that you get emails today. And yeah, you know, when I first started doing the YouTube thing, I watched a lot of videos and a lot of them had some kind of sign off and of course we all love Shannon's The End so you know, who doesn't love that? So I thought really early on I wanted to do something and I wasn't sure what and that just came out of my mouth one day and I just keep saying it now. Yes, those are the three ladies and I will make sure they all get an email in a little bit. Yeah, it's a great little kid and I'm so glad for all of them. Wendy, I think it's going to really like it. And yeah, you all should do something nice for yourself. Yeah, well, Shannon says The End, but it's the way she says it. Don't we all just love that Shannon says The End and the way she says it, it's just funny. I love it. I don't know where mine came from. You know, I have no idea. It just came out one day. Somebody asked me recently if I do any planning or thinking about what I write when I do my daily thoughts in my Facebook group. I just sit down and start writing extra awkward. I love it. I think it's fabulous, Shannon. Don't let anybody ever tell you that you're not funny because it's not true. And who doesn't love Paddy's streams and broadcasts? You know, I love them. All of you who are broadcasting on YouTube are doing a great job. Oh, a special announcement. See, I almost forgot Squirrel. I feel like I need an extra cup of coffee. All right, so well, that's because I mean it as Davis. The way I say it, I really do mean it. You need to make sure you stop and do something nice for yourself. Most of us spend time making sure to do for others, but we forget to do for ourselves. So you got to make sure you do for yourself. A lot of you have been waiting for me to come out with more stamp designs and you've been waiting a long time. It's been a funding issue and what funds I had are going out to create more stamps and I say had because it's already in process and we are coming out with next month or so, maybe sooner for new stamp sets. I don't have the designs confirmed yet, but as soon as I do, I'll be sharing them probably in a live broadcast for sure in my email newsletter. It's so weird to watch yourself on the TV on the screen. I got to tell you guys. They're going to be fabulous. Yes, I did. Michelle is on my let me pick your brain what do you think of this Art Peeps team poor Michelle. I drive them all crazy. I had them all choking with laughter the other day when I was trying to figure out some camera equipment. It's a lot of designing and I've been working on it a long time. Thank you, Patty. And I had the designs pretty much done. I just didn't have any funding to get them started. So I they're different than what I've come out with before. So I didn't want to keep coming out with the same thing. And I can give you a hint. Most of you who have been watching me and know my art is really about words and all and so, yeah, there you get there. That's a hint. So I think you'll like it and there, you know, I think it would be good for art journalists and card makers and that alike. Well, I'm glad if I can give you all a moment entertainment. Yeah. And I'm so glad. Thanks, Shannon and everybody. I'm so glad to be coming out finally with the new stamps. Like I said, like most of us we're trying to make a living or at least get it to pay for itself. So, you know, stamps are one way to do it. Have a good afternoon. Take care, Shannon. Happy editing. How did I find my way into art? Okay, so that's a good question. So growing up in the 1960s they didn't diagnose kids as having issues like they do now. When my mom said to, you know, the doctors and teachers, you know, there's just something wrong with her. You know, they basically told her that she was doing something wrong and that she was holding me enough. You know, that sort of thing. Probably in those days I would have been diagnosed with, you know, ADD or something like that, anxiety disorder something. I've had those issues my whole life. My mom did figure out by accident early on that if she sat me down with, you know, something to art-wise to play with, that kept me more focused, happier, and I was able to concentrate. And I happen to have two aunts, one on each side of the family. They were both fine art students in college at the time. So I don't ever remember not doing crafty things and art things. Um Oh, I'm so glad. I can so I'm a seamstress. They used to make wedding dresses. I can knit and crochet embroider. I've done polymer clay, floral crafts. When you walk into Michaels, 90% of the arts and crafts that are in there, I've done them. In my 40s I started getting back into painting and drawing and discovered mixed media and through a friend and remembered that you know, I really liked just painting and drawing. And so then I took and I don't remember now which class I took first. It was either a Flora Bowley class or it was a Tracy Bautista class and I think it was a Tracy Bautista class and that's when I learned about um mixed media and journaling and then I shortly thereafter took the Flora Bowley class which was a painting class and discovered I like that whole realm of things and I started purging and getting rid of everything else in my studio room. So I've been doing crafty things my whole entire life. I still knit and crochet occasionally. I still do the occasional embroidery. I love doing them. No, I it's not, I don't think it's rude for me. Art helps keep me sane and calm. It helps me not beat myself up. It helps me and I don't take this like I'm serious. I'm joking. I really am. But you know those feelings where you're just so mad that you know if you're driving a car you just like get out of my way or I'm going to run you over. You wouldn't really run them over but you're just that frustrated. Art helps me channel that frustration into something healthier and less personally and to other people destructive. I wouldn't really ever hurt anybody not intentionally but it helps. I would hurt myself maybe and it helps me channel that into a healthy place. It helps keep you sane definitely. It helps keep the depression under control. It helps keep the anxiety under control unless I'm dealing with technology and electronic equipment. But yeah, it works. When you're going through physical maybe health kind of issues, art can really help a lot with depression and anxiety and stuff that comes along with that from my husband little known fact my husband had two cancer scares last year and we found out with the start of the new year that both of the rounds of tests the second of the two was benign. Yay. But that was pretty stressful. I can't imagine being in that position where you have something seriously like that happen and it's not fine. I definitely would be doing more art. I took coloring books with me to the hospital and doodle books and I sat in the cafeteria while he was having his procedures done and I colored and I doodled. I had a lot of other patients and family members of patients asking me about what I was doing and I said here sit down and have a pencil and it really does help a lot. It helps channel all those feelings in a healthy way rather than hurting yourself. Yeah. It's not great. Yeah. Thank God. Yay. But now I've been walking like four to six days a week and I must have pulled a muscle in my hip or something and my hip is just killing me this morning. All right. I was not planning on being on this long but I'm so great. We got the bugs worked out. So tomorrow thank you. Yeah. I know you know Patty. I don't want to tell anybody else's personal history but I know that you know so much and I am so glad that came back the way it did because we were pretty sure with one of the tests that it was not going to be. We thought he had cancer. We were pretty sure and when the test came out negative we were if we hadn't been sitting down we would have fallen over because that was just such a blessing. We can't even tell you. So tomorrow morning is Wednesday watercolor Wednesday so we will definitely be on at 10 o'clock Pacific Standard Time with watercolor Wednesday live. They usually last at least an hour but you never know with me. It could be two hours or more. And I hope you all can join me. And definitely you all don't forget to support your fellow artists if they have Etsy shops shop there if they have Patreon or fan funding on their YouTube channel whatever it is. I'm not going to just tout mine but I know Shannon's got some I know a lot of people do so Patty's got Etsy shop support our artistic endeavors and so we can keep bringing you video and don't forget the most important thing you all know what that is right do something nice for yourself because you deserve it alright I'm going to go eat some lunch because it is late already let's see it's two o'clock I should eat lunch before it's dinner time and take another Advil my hip hurts alright that's it for right now glad you all could join me I'm so glad we worked the bugs out Patty if you have questions let me know. Bye see you later guys of course I gotta figure out how to turn myself off that's not something you ever think you're going to say
