 Hey guys Ever have one of those warnings where you have something important to do like maybe an appointment Or I don't know going live on YouTube and you think You know, I just have this one really quick thing to do. Let me do it before I do that other thing Just turns into a giant mess That was me this morning, which would be why we're late. Oh Yeah, yeah, okay cough drop is in my mouth. I Stopped for a potty break. We got the issue resolved. Let me turn Let me find myself on YouTube Which I still think is hilarious to say And let me open the chat Yeah, so okay, so we're here. Whoo-hoo. All right. Oh My gosh, so that was me with PayPal this morning. I love PayPal. I've been with PayPal since 2002 so a long time and I've had two problems with PayPal in that whole time both times were because of the security key Which includes this morning those two times include today. Oh Yeah, yeah, but it's all resolved now. Ha, okay So we are here this morning and I have so much to share with you guys Even though we got a late start. I'm still going to share with you. We'll just be on here We'll just we'll be on the same amount of time Okay, so good morning Teresa. Good morning Paula. Good morning, Josie Josie. I hope you're okay over there in Italy I'm not sure exactly where the earthquake was over there, but being as how I'm from California. I sympathize and Hope that everybody's okay. Oh All right So before we get into what this is about and we're going to be working with our primo watercolors today Um Any brand that you have will work. They don't have to be artist quality. If that's all you have is Crayola work with that Yeah, I'm in California. So that earth I've said I've been through earthquakes that strong and there's not fun. Oh Good, I'm glad Okay, so the first thing I want to talk to you are like some more pallet ideas. I am just Pallet crazy, I don't know I have to really have to start controlling it because the collection is getting to be ridiculous When you're in hobby lobby Buying a zipper for the next sewing one-to-one tutorial And you're looking at the candy display thinking ooh that little can is cute. That would make a cute watercolour You just I can't keep doing that So first let's start with This I don't know why okay, so first let's start with this so this as you all know is my new travel art Watercolor kit. This is from art-toolkit.com. I paid for this. They didn't send it to me and I Love it. I used it for the first time on my recent vacation To Lake Tahoe, which would buy it be while you hear me sniffing. I Love Lake Tahoe. It's beautiful if you ever get a chance to go there in the winter or the summer go It's a gorgeous up there. There's a lot of places to hike a lot of really great restaurants in the south shore Which is where our time-share is at. There's some great casinos. There's always concerts summer free There's you know, you can rent a jet ski you can rent a kayak which we did this last time It's fabulous unfortunately Even before I got asthma and the whole American greetings thing and if you don't know about that I got hurt at work That's the short story and I'm I used to work for American greetings now I now I won't get into it But now I have asthma and my allergies which were mild before are severe and one of those allergies before was to pine trees Well, it's it's Lake Tahoe They're like you can't get away from them and the winter is better for me than the summer because in the summer They're you know like pollinating so I am still like I'm it's getting better I've been home, you know for a few days, so it's getting better, but I didn't there wasn't a single day. We were up there I didn't have to load myself up with medication and my husband who has milder allergies than I do It bothered him too, so So yeah, so I have a cough drop in my mouth I'm still sniffling and this is going to be TMI so you know for those of you who are grossed out Sorry, but I'm still having bloody boogers It's getting better, but you know All right, so this but I took this watercolor kit and I loved it And I did more watercoloring on this vacation than I normally do because I was just so inspired of course by the location Hey Amy, but also by this kit was just so easy to use I could pull this out and my travel watercolor journal and It worked great. I could just do this and I had my journal next to me and it was fabulous I did add Because you know and all my brilliance I didn't put an eraser in here I don't know what I was thinking so I did add a little piece of a kneaded eraser I put it in this little piece of a plastic Pouch so it will stick in here and not like get caught and stuck to the case I also added a piece of an old This is actually an old insurance card to like scratch lines into papers. Otherwise this kit is perfect. I've got Brushes I've got my needle is syringe here thing for loading up my water brushes I've got a few short watercolor pencils a stabilo pencil and a regular pencil and a little ballpoint pen a Uniball Signo a waterproof pen. I've got my favorite pilot varsity pen, which I love Again my piece of a white credit card or a gift card my ruler, which is love I love a small Mister which you could use a ranger mini mister. This one happens to be from like my Kindle screen protector thing. Hey Patricia and Then of course my watercolor palette Now this kit comes with a smaller watercolor palette that usually fits in this pocket Which I'm not using at the moment I prefer this one. So I'm using it and I love this. This is great. It isn't cheap and You could probably make a zippered pocket like this or Adapt a travel wallet. So I do love art toolkit and if you have the funds in your budget and you want a Nice travel watercolor small thing. This is perfect if you don't have the budget for that look for a travel wallet wallet and You could adapt that you want a big pocket that will fit your watercolor kit in there This is perfect though. I love this and then of course the charms that are hanging off it We're given to me by my dear friend Cindy utter and I left the art toolkit little card on here because I just think it's cute So this worked great now as far as small watercolor kits, I'm gonna give you some ideas. So My hand is itchy. What does that mean? Probably just means I'm just like this morning. All right Okay, so when I was on vacation in Lake Tahoe, I did go to a candy shop up up there That has lots of like vintage candy and vintage style sodas and stuff and we didn't you know get a lot because you know I don't really eat too much candy, but we did some get some really good ginger whale Yeah, see I hope that's true because my hand is really itchy I couldn't resist these little tins though now two of these came with candy in them And I'll tell you right off the bat. I love the tin. I gave the candy to my daughter and her boyfriend This one had something called apple stowers in it and this was a hello in a Hello Kitty display And I did show pictures of this on social media. Isn't this little frog the cutest thing Now it's a little metal tin and you definitely could you couldn't you wouldn't get a lot of You know pans in here but when you're on vacation for me at least I think part of the Attraction of get of having these small watercolor kits is creating some fun art with limited supplies So if you chose to use regular watercolor half pans You can get six colors in here. So that's good. So you can get red yellow blue You could get I would add so you would want a like cyan a lemon and like a really a good red I Would add Payne's gray Violet For me, I would add Payne's gray violet and probably Hey Kyla and probably a teal for you It might be different But if you have your three basic colors, you could do two blues two yellows and two reds Warm and a cool red warm and a cool yellow warm and a cool blue And if you have those in this little frog that is enough to mix a whole bunch of Different colors from and this little frog definitely would fit into a travel wallet or this art toolkit case So he is cute I couldn't resist the little frog and like I said I have to stop buying these little things because what the heck am I gonna Do with it? I don't know but he was just too cute They also had this round mini mouse with had jelly bellies in it and I gave it to the kids And you could use half pans in here and you can get more colors in here because this is a lot bigger You could also cut up some of this mini Ice cube tray stuff to fit in here and then you could get a whole bunch of colors in here And this is really cute and this this is deep so are on top of this then that means that You could get Maybe a little pencil to fit in here. You could get Some tissue to fit in here I don't think you'd get a brush in here, but again this case is small enough. It would fit in here It's a little bit fat, but it would still fit in here I think on both of these I would put some upo inside the lid and So that you could use it as a mixing surface and it was white. Okay This one is just too dang cute and I couldn't resist it It's a mini lunchbox. I mean I just couldn't resist it now This one won't fit in the little case, but it's just like I said, it's just too cute So in this one is deep enough because it's a mini lunchbox. You could actually get two layers Like if you use this mini ice cube tray stuff You could actually get two layers of paint colors in here So you could actually get a lot of colors in here And then when you are painting with it, you could lift one out and stick it in the lid Um And this is just just too cute and it would be cute to carry like many art supplies or mini paint supplies in your handbag or something It's just the cutest thing Um, I would stick them down with glue or um, which would be even better Kyla If you're like me and you're always changing your mind Oh, yeah, yeah, so these are little small round magnets. There's 250 in this little box And it doesn't I don't forget how much it cost but it's on Amazon By KES technologies 250 pieces adhesive magnets and They're little round magnets and if you stuck a little round magnet to the back of this it would stick to any of these candy tins You could also use e6000 to glue them down or you could use Like blue tack Okay, I'm gonna give you I want to give you guys a bunch of different ideas for things that you could do without spending a lot of money I mean these pallets are great. I already own them. I spent a lot of money on them buying something like this is easier and cheaper So met and magnets are nice because then you know if something happens to the tin or You decide that you know, you're not crazy about the happy days little lunchbox anymore And you want to switch to the frog you can just pull the little half pans out and stick them around Without making new ones. So I like the magnets because they're more changeable Okay, if you saw me on social media Yesterday and I'm gonna do a little video on this. I'm gonna like speed it up cut some stuff out and Talk I'm gonna add to a voiceover. I do a voiceover and I Do like to wear makeup. I don't wear it a lot, but I do like to wear it You know, I have a bunch of these, you know, at some point you buy whoo that eyeshadow is pretty and then you have like five million of these and my storage space is only so big so I need to depot some stuff get rid of the expired stuff and I got one of those big magnetic Matt makeup pellets. Okay, so as I was depotting stuff this naked basics one I I Was able to take this apart and I will show this on camera how I did this But I was able to take it apart in a way that saved the outer packaging I put a magnet down here and then I these are actually empty eyeshadow pants these you can buy brand new from a company TBK TKB trading which is actually out of Oakland where Kyla give hand lives And you you won't get a lot of paint in them But you will get a little bit and actually you can get I put a I put the magnet in here This sheet of magnet you can get a hobby lobby or Michaels or Joanne's and these little half pants stick to it and Again because they're it's magnetized You can switch them around If you decide that, you know, maybe the case breaks, you're not happy with that color these come in different sizes. These are the small rectangle and Look at that you can get what is that six seven eight nine ten colors in there That's a pretty decent amount of colors and and like I said, you can switch them around There's enough room in here to put a little piece of a sponge or something and look how cute that is and again That would fit in here. I'm gonna take these out now What exactly I'm gonna do with all these I have no idea These are from my Maybelline eyeshadows that I unbought unpot it and You would only have to clear clean the glue out a little bit and then look at that You have 12 colors you can fit in there plus of there's again a space for a small brush or a sponge and These would be cute and yeah, so that any of these things like if you could get Maybe you have makeup that you never wear anymore Get it out depot it and then use the case do it in a way that you save the case If you need to order some of these little empty eyeshadow tins tkbetrading.com But all you need to do now is wash these out and then they're great for water color you could put it again a piece of you po in the lids you have mixing space and Again, these are small flat compact and it would fit in a small case like this Travel wallets you can get everywhere See I'm all discombobulated this morning Cindy utter just posted in the link to a site store site that she uses called wish.com now None of us advocate getting clothes there because they come from Asia the sizes are two or three sizes smaller than what you think They should be but that being said they do have like travel wallets art supplies and A Makeup tin or one of these candy tins. These make a really great interesting unique Water color kits and they don't cost a lot and you can spend your money on the actual paint instead of a box That's housed in I would rather you guys spend the money on the paint than the box That being said yes, I have a lot of boxes, but I don't know. I do think I'm gonna gift some of these Empty with no paint in them. So if you need a box and you want a box Email me my address my email address is in the video description the broadcast description I'll probably send you postcards and goodies with it to Hey Susan. Oh, welcome all right, so that's my little speech on water color kits and what you can do and what you can adapt and and Yeah, if you have any of these small makeup palettes when I un-potted the makeup I was just very careful to save as much of the actual packaging as I could with the idea that it might be able to use Be used for something else. So You know, it's the video is coming out and you get to see me doing some of that the naked Urban Decay naked palettes. These are the mini and they actually un-pal un-potted really really well so if you have one of these that you're not using or you're not wearing or Maybe somebody you know has it and it's expired. I Ask him. Can you have it and then just take the makeup out? That's you know expired and Use the palette just stick some magnet in the bottom and you could put you po over the mirror and you've got mixing space Oh, thank you. Okay, so Let's get started. Yeah, we all right So we've got our Prima watercolor sets now. These are the first three sets. They came out with I do understand They're coming out with two more the rangers also coming out with more of their crayons I'm gonna get at least one more of the Prima kits just because I'm obsessive compulsive I own that and the fact that this has got an empty row really bugs me I don't think I'm gonna ever get all of the kits they come out with but I do think I'll get one more I have to look at the two different sets that are coming out and figure out which one's gonna work best With the colors I already own and I mean I have a lots of other paints. So Something that's maybe a little different The eyeshadow tins and you know what Patricia you can if you don't know anybody with an expired tin Or you don't have one you can take apart then think about going to the dollar store and getting one from there But you know if you have like this naked basics, I just bought the little one because I wanted just some nude matte colors because when I do do photo shoots, I do put makeup on and I Love that I did that because this little one is so cute and it's actually very nicely made and it's heavy plastic And the eyeshadow was in a whole separate plastic piece and the whole thing just popped out real easily And then I was able to stick some magnet down there And then I like I said you could put you po over the mirror And then you have a mixing space and this is cute and this would fit in You know if you have a travel wallet or one of these art toolkit bags that would fit in here really easily All right, so we're going to use these We're gonna get them wet first now We're spraying our watercolor paints as always from our watercolor spray bottle I do put ox go liquid in my water You don't need too much of it just a little bit and it aids in the rewetting and flow of your watercolor paints oxgall two words o x g a l can be Found at any arts and crafts store in the paint aisle It's usually you find the Windsor Newton bottle. So look for the Windsor Newton Painting mediums, and you'll find the oxgall liquid Okay, Patricia email me Because now I have a plethora of these empty boxes. I don't know what the heck I'm gonna do with them So so throw the whole idea Teresa of proper out the window This is not about proper. This is about finding something that allows you to do what you enjoy Without breaking the bank and Believe me. I know exactly what I'm talking about. Listen to me. I've made all the mistakes I speak from experience people All of my income, you know, if I make any money it goes to art supplies, which is really sad I should be helping out with the household bills All right, I have our recollections Resist pen here which I really wish I had picked up another one because now I can't find anymore anymore. I do love this I've got a piece of a card Nothing just postage if that just email me Teresa tell me which one that you want We're gonna paint some feathers so I put a couple of links to a couple of different videos in the description that I Love and took inspiration from when I was on vacation and they were both feather painting videos Which I've done before this is one of my previous feathers I've done and there is a tutorial somewhere on my channel for this. I don't remember where pro I think when we first started doing watercolor Wednesday, I painted a few of these I've given them all the way except for this one. I decided to keep and I Have been doing feathers inspired by real life And or from this bird book, which is all about feathers and has examples of all kinds of feathers in it And this is a great inspiration source or reference book For painting something like feathers to get the shapes and the colors if you want them do them more realistically So again, this is a guide to North American species bird feathers by as David Scott and Casey McFarland Okay, and this is one that I have on hand in my studio all the time The the feather tutorials I saw were rainbow feathers I love them and I do have digital copies of this and a couple other Feathers for sale in my Etsy shop if you want to buy them to use in your mix media. I Want to paint some more feathers. I want to do rainbow ones and I want to use them I want to scan them all including these and I want to use them to create some background papers There's a lot of journals and happy planners and things out there right now Where the whole front cover is covered with different kinds of like painted feather watercolor feathers And I love that idea and I'm sure you probably could do it on the computer and be easier That's not as much fun though So I have these bookmark sleeves from my craft store days Which is what this is in and I had already pre-cut some watercolor paper to paper to fit in them so I thought we'd see about painting some feathers today and Getting them in some sleeves and we'll see what we can do and I want to try my hand at a rainbow feather so here's the first one and We should probably get a pencil. I keep grabbing the pencil with that's not sharpened. What does that say? I don't know and we're gonna get the sharpie pen sharpie pen This is the refillable sharpie pen, which I love because it's waterproof All right Should probably sharpen that just a little bit. See now I've got all these Empty boxes around and you know if those of you who are asking me to send you a palette if you want a piece of This mini ice cube tray. I have this big piece I can cut in half and then I've got another whole one And so I can send you that too. Let me know They make up pans and the plastic half pans are not available FYI and the naked basics palette. I'm probably keeping Everything else is a bit up for grabs. All right. Um, what did I do? Oh? Yeah, yeah, I forgot why I did that so we're gonna sharpen our pencil. Oh You're welcome Teresa and yeah, I have a drawer full of pencil sharpener sure you guys can't see Companies keep sending me things and every time they send me something they send me a pencil sharpener They really have to stop doing that my little drawers full I love them all they work great, but yeah, all right So if you're not sure about what shape of a feather to make or what shape you want to make That's where the book would come in handy or maybe you just are tired of making the same shape So you could just randomly open it to a page and then pick a feather. I like this one right here So let's just do a quick pencil sketch We're mixed media artists, right? I've said that before so we're okay with pencil lines and accenting things with Markers and gel pen acrylic paint. I'm still sniffily people. Okay, okay? So just a basic sketch Let me zoom in a little bit so you guys can see that and get my book weight because that's gonna close Book weight that's what this is. I lost it once for three months put it away somewhere. I couldn't find it. All right So before we get started with this part of the video since we are now doing the actual painting part And I'm done like chatty ears off Tap if you're on a tablet or a smartphone tap on the the Broadcast screen and then three little dots will come up on the upper right hand corner. Click on them Click on the gear that says quality Click on the highest quality. It will allow you to do instead of auto And then the picture should stay a lot sharper and clearer for you. This is a really great reference book I also have one on bird eggs. It's fabulous And when I go to secondhand bookstores, this is the kind of thing I look for All right, so I could of course use this book as literal inspiration and Paint it and in the actual colors of the actual feather. Oh, Susan. I'm so glad you're here, too On maybe me having issues with PayPal this morning was good for everybody. I don't know But I really want to do it in rainbow Generally speaking I put some black sharpie lines on here before I get started So but I'm not sure I want to do that So I'm gonna I'm gonna wait and see how the how the painting turns out first before I decide to do that what I am going to do is get a big flat brush out and I want to get the feather part wet First I want to get the paper wet. So I'm gonna stay kind of inside the pencil lines Hey Jillian and I'm going to follow kind of follow Some of the lines I'm gonna get everything wet the watercolor paints gonna stay where the water is It's gonna follow the water Okay, so now we're gonna go with like our medium brush. This is a Princeton select number 12 round and I forgot my rag. Hold on. Good thing. They're right under the table Okay, I'm going to start with Number Prima doesn't have names on their paint. They have numbers So this is from the classic set and this is number seven, which is kind of a sky blue color Look at how pretty that color is and see how it's just running down It's following the water Okay Then I'm going to pick a color that blends well with the blue so you want to remember your color theory and You know basic stuff we learned in kindergarten in grade school right in kindergarten What colors mix well with blue to make interesting secondary colors and which don't so I'm going to pick pink And I'm going to put the pink underneath the blue and if it blends we should get purple So you can get these sort of colors in lots of different kinds of paints Don't feel like you ever have to get the same exact brand. I do There's lots of brands out there that have great colors of paint Okay, so before I get too much farther I'm gonna take my little piece of my credit card and I'm going to follow the lines of my feather and I'm gonna just scratch some lines in the paper in the wet paint And then what color to put at the bottom? Maybe I want to do this dark. This is from Tropicals. This is number 22, which is the dark like a Magenta color look at that. So for for a vibrant pastel colors Primas are great Daniel Smith has like opera opera pink I Would looked at the companies and look at their sorry. I'm trying to paint talk at the same time look at their Like color charts before you spend lots of money on paint So right here. I'm taking the edge of this card piece of a credit card And I'm starting in the wet paint and then just pulling it out by scratching into the paper Yeah, I like that. So I do want to go to a smaller brush And I am going to choose number What color? 36 out of decadent pies Which is like a Prussian blue, which is still like a greenish blue but it's darker and Again, I'm staying with colors that would blend with whatever here. I have on my feather and I'm using just the tip of the brush I'm gonna run it down the spine Hey Heather, I'm gonna turn it around Try to work quickly before things to dry too much I got a late start because I was having issues with PayPal this morning So maybe I was just saying maybe it's a good thing. I had issues with PayPal this morning So again, I'm just making some sketchy lines. I'm barely touching the brush to the paper barely barely so the first color was number seven from the classics and Number two from the classics the next color was number 22 from tropicals and this blue color is number 36 from decadent pies And these are all the Prima paints the first three sets they came out with I Bought two of them. They sent me one To use on YouTube and if they hadn't done that I probably would have bought it because I was pretty impressed There's been a lot of reviews on the premium watercolor paints on YouTube and Most of us are under the same opinion that the paints are really nice especially for the value And if nothing else, they're worth it for the box that they come in. This is 140 pound cold press Strafmore watercolor paper. I tend to I like Other kinds of paper if I'm doing something for a client then I will use Fabriano or arches I do always like cold press. It is my favorite And I'll explain to you guys when I'm doing a minute, but for just general playing and tutorials I use Strafmore. There's nothing wrong with Strafmore. We don't know how lightfast if anything the Prima paints are so I would say if you create something like this that you really really love Then you're gonna want to scan it into your computer Okay, Strafmore is a good value paper though. I would have no problem with that. All right So then I'm gonna just stop and take a look at that and decide if I'm happy with that or do I want to make any change is I Think that and you all know me changes change should be my middle name, right? I Know it's not grace or patience Those of you who've met me in real life know that that's true All right, so I'm grabbing number nine from the classics Which is a purple and I'm really wanting to Add the purple so always no matter what you're painting with watercolors. I advocate starting light and working your way darker and You can leave it kind of light and pastel But the dark the darker colors are gonna really make it start your whatever your paintings start to pop When you're doing something like this don't feel like You have to have all of your marks go in the same place that they did before in fact It's best if they don't that's pretty cute. I like that feather That purple made it pop So if you get too much of a color in some place put a little water on there Catch it really quick and then just use a tissue paper towel or a in this case a rag to lift it and There you go. I love that one. So there's one down. I Don't want to put too much black on Here with a sharpie pen, but we are going to dry it first before we do anything So let's get out our heat embossing tool And if you're gonna depot any makeup palettes and you want to dig the little pans out of the plastic palette The little metal pans, they're probably glued in now. There's lots of tutorials on YouTube about how to do it exactly They all use like hair straighteners and stuff. We're all mixed media artists You all have one of these in your studio use it. It works great Yeah, this is gonna be a bookmark Now this is a really fine pointed waterproof pen it doesn't always enjoy writing over watercolor Which is okay, because I don't know that I want it to be very dark I just want a few more like sketchy lines on my feather And I'm gonna give you guys a close-up in a minute So just remember when you're doing these feathers you can of course do any shape But the fact that you have all these hair hairs on it really make it look like a feather Now don't forget the most important thing and I used to be really bad about this sign your work Okay, so there that's the one feather And can you see how we just scratched into it with that little piece of the gift card? And we got all these little lines in there in the paint. We didn't you know, I didn't paint those in It's just pulling the paint out with the gift card All of these little hairs and then I emphasize some of them with the sharpie pen, but not too much So let's do another one now once it's a dry, which this is dry Then if you have a plastic sleeve like these you can slip it into the sleeve And then you have a nice bookmark for a gift or something You can also of course paint this and then reproduce it print print copies of it and put it in a sleeve Like if you're gonna do a craft fair I always did really well with bookmarks You know, they're quick. They're easy. I charge like I think two bucks for them I two dollars for the reprint not for the original and so I they always went pretty well What did I do with the other one? I don't know, you know, I put it away. Oh, there it is, right? So and I can see these what I want to do is I want to make a bunch of these feathers and then I want to scan them and Change the sizes on them to change the direction of them and make a piece of collage paper. Wouldn't that be the cutest thing? I Have seen that around and I just thought that would be fabulous. So let's do another one So the one thing you want to remember is No matter how many colors you're using the colors that are right next to each other and going to touch each other Make sure they blend well without making mud unless that's what you want All right, so let's do another one Now before somebody asks These pieces of paper are eight inches By two and a half inches the bookmark sleeves are from clear bags comm and The sleeves from the top opening to the bottom are About 8 and 5 8s by 2 and 13 I Don't know two and three quarters ish and You can get them like by the hundreds you can get a lot of them So if you're gonna do a show clear bags comm is your friend if you're doing stuff for sale Now you could use the resist pen After you do your pencil sketch to mark off some areas that you want to keep white that would be interesting I think we're gonna try that next. Let's try another feather. Let's look for Let's look for a different shape. Let's see. I love this book. It's one of my favorites Which is funny because I don't like birds. I Mean, I don't hate birds, but you know, you always feel like they're gonna poop on my head. I Know it's not rational people Okay, so we're gonna do another light pencil sketch Let's put it down a little bit So I'm just looking at the basic shape of one of the feathers on the page On this is a 4b by the way I just grabbed a pencil honestly use whatever pencil you have if you just have like a 2b use that So I'm gonna take our resist pen before we get started and I'm gonna use the brush end and Again, this is was something I picked up at Michaels. It was 70% off now I can't find them. I went to a Michaels when I was in Lake Tahoe the girl looked at me like I was insane She'd never heard of it before Not that I'm not used to getting that kind of look from people because people frequently but It was just pretty interesting. Okay, so I'm going to Now wherever you put this pen is going to not accept a watercolor easily So that's the idea of the resist pen. It keeps the paper whiter than it normally would Do so I'm going to and I can see that it's shiny and you guys probably aren't going to see that too well on camera But I'm going to dry it Screwed up my own display of the broadcast. Okay Because that's what I do sleeves are from clear bags. Yeah clear bags comm It wouldn't make a beautiful fabric. I don't disagree with you Susan I think it would be fabulous and I do have an account over at spoon flower So that might be something I do with if once I get enough feathers scanned Birds I just don't like when they fly around my head And I would never be a bird owner because they're messy and that would just kick my OCD into high gear And I like nature, but nature hates me. I'm allergic to the whole planet. It seems like the feather book Amazon I Because I couldn't find the books that I wanted at my local used bookstore I do always advocate visiting your mom and pop use bookstores if you have one in your town I didn't they didn't have what I wanted Amazon does have a pretty decent used book department You can of course search any title and then look for the little used link and click on that see who's got what for sale Because you usually have to pay shipping. I always look for the one that's like 99 cents or less because then I figure with shipping That's not too bad All right, so the first thing of course now that our resist pen is dry I'm going to do is again as I'm going to get it wet with water Now if you leave it up to me, I'm probably always going to use like pinks and teals because Well, I like pinks and teals But I want to do some of these in different colors. So this time we're going to grab a green number 16 out of the tropicals palette, which is a limey green and really pretty and Look how that's just wicking into the water and moving down without me having to do too much Then I'm going to go back to that blue that we use Aren't they cool? I love them. Then we're going to get in here with our card While the paint is wet and we're going to pull some of these little hairs out You could use anything with a sharp corner you could use the end of your paint brush You know if you have used to give cards around which I mean honestly if you're a mixed media artist You probably have at least one cut a corner of it off going with a smaller brush and What color now? We have number six from the classic palette, which is reminds me kind of like a Christmas tree green It's a darker green. We're going to grab a little bit of that not too much Use the smaller brush and I'll put a little bit of it on the spine Little bit around the edges. We're making like with the other one which I didn't explain did I just realized so you want to Just darken up the edges so if you picture the feather in your mind it's going to be curled the What do you call them hairs of the feather are going to be curled around This way and the edges will be darker and the spine parts of the spine will also be darker It seems to be okay on my end. Oh You know what I know what it is hold on Heather hold on. I forgot to turn off the autofocus Okay, that should be better It may be me Try that see if that's better. I shouldn't say it's not me because I don't know that the way with the morning I've been having good could very well be me My webcam I have an HD webcam That's what I broadcast with and it has sometimes a temperamental autofocus Which I tried to remember to turn off but sometimes I forget so these rainbow style feathers are all about being Um blendy and puddley, so don't Try to be too precise with your paint colors Let them blend where they will You're welcome. Yeah, that was me. That was totally me Because you know That's what I do screw things up I'm just kidding people. I'm not I'm not actually that hard on myself for those that are concerned Sometimes I am I shouldn't say I never I'm I'm only human sometimes I am But now that I'm over 50 and past menopause mostly. I'm not All right, so I just put some of the darker blue there. That's the same darker blue we used in the other feather Which color was that number 36 out of the decadent pies palette? And I'm going to get it wet and then I'm going to take my little piece of my card And this one by the way is a grumbocker number five round It's a small brush Just remember to like I said Have your colors next to each other that are going to blend melt well without making mud so don't have Like purple and orange together because that's gonna turn brown I mean that may be what you want. That's fine But if that's not what you want you want to be careful. I kind of like this one. That's cute, isn't it? Okay, so we're gonna dry this and the thing I like about the Michaels resist pen is it's not like masking fluid It actually doesn't work super well, but that's what I like about it. So you get these some parts That will stay nice and white and clear or sometimes you'll just get a hint of the whiteness But that's what I like about it a lot. So I'm gonna have to experiment with like glycerin and see what I can do to duplicate that because I'm a big fan of that pen. All right, so now let's accent a little bit with our sharpie pen or Whatever fine-tipped pen you have if you don't have any intention of getting it wet again Then you could use any Pen if you don't know if you're gonna get it wet again And you don't know if you're gonna go on top of it with anything any wet media Then I would use a permanent pen like the Sharpie or something similar And just try to give it that sketchy, you know random look and there you go Don't forget to sign it. Well, that's a good thought Heather so and I may do that at some point Before I scan them Above all, don't forget to sign it So I love these these are great and I can't imagine they wouldn't sell well at an art fair Aren't they the cutest thing? All right. Oh, sorry Patricia You said earlier you were hoping that you would have the connection for a while All right back with the pencil I like this page because it's got a number of different feather shapes on it that we can use for inspiration So let's do one that has We're gonna sketch a new one Just give yourself some guidelines. You don't have to you know, do do anything more detailed than that So it doesn't have to be any more than that just give yourself like a guideline now We're gonna get it wet with some water Which as per usual my clean water is getting dirty because you know, I forgot which side was which I'm gonna blame it on PayPal this morning Getting locked out of your account because it's security keys not working If you have anxiety disorder, that's not a good thing All right, so that's nice and wet and this time I want to try to do a true rainbow one so So we want to start with red and I was just doing and on my fingers red orange yellow green blue violet Roy G Are oh why green blue violet six colors, so red first I Do that and by the way when I do math, I still count with my fingers. I don't know what that means All right, so I'm gonna take number three from the classics palette and This is a red and I'm gonna put a little bit of it up here at the top Now if you stick with the rainbow Things should blend fairly well if the if one color goes down too far and it starts to wick down too far You can always do this Right, and you can always get it rewet if you need to this is orange orange. Yeah Yellow these these are all I think I might try to pull them all from the classics palette So the yellow but you could do it with any palette of paints that you have use what you have You could use it do it with pastel versions of all these colors Yeah, well, you know I was at school before there were calculators, so Green oh your back Patricia yay, okay blue I really like this light blue that's in this palette. So we're gonna use that Indigo and violet so We're going to use We're gonna just use number eight, which is another blue And we're gonna make it work and then from there We're going to use the purple that's here, which is number nine So we use number three through number nine from the Prima classics palette Now we're gonna go in with our card while things are still wet and we're gonna pull out some hairs from our feather I don't know what those are called. I think I've said this before on camera when we've done other feather tutorials I don't know if are they called hairs. I don't know So we're gonna just scratch into the wet paint This is like one of your best watercolor tools is a piece of an old gift card Table salt gives you an interesting texture too because the salt sucks up some of the water and pigment and leaves an interesting texture in the paint It's not really necessarily appropriate for doing feathers But when you're traveling especially, you know, you can get little salt I can do get and do pick up like salt packets like everywhere that we go Frequently use them when we're traveling. Okay, so now I'm gonna go into with a little brush Yeah, you know, I still count on my fingers I still like it involves the ATM machine an actual key in a car and calendars made out of paper Well, I don't know what you get out of that, but yeah, I don't know what you call the little hair I don't know what you call the hairs. I don't know so I'm going to go in with You mean veins and I knew what you meant So this is the blue and I'm going to just use it in a more concentrated fashion with this smaller brush and I'm going to follow along the spine I'm going to try not to get too much of it up there because it will just turn with the green It's going to turn brown. So I'm going to go in with the green in the same Idea dry so get it to get a stronger version of the pink pigment. You just want to Pick up the paint with less water the more water the more runny the paint is going to be now while That's wet at the spine and you have that darker color there. You can pull some of it out again with your card Or with the paint brush Just use a brush and use a very light touch Let your brush do the work don't as I used to tell my Michael's students And I still tell students when I teach them. No digging any holes to China with the paint brush We're not trying to dig holes to China. We're trying to paint pretty pictures and you're going to get different kinds of lines depending on how hard You touch the brush to the paper. It's really wet here at the bottom. So let's see what I can do You can laminate these I would if you create a bunch of little Pieces of artwork like this though that you love before you do anything with it scan it That way you always have it later if you want to add it to a greeting card or a bookmark or a postmark a postcard Or something like that Maybe you want to use it on the front of your Christmas cards this year If you've scanned it you can do that once you laminate it Things are hard to scan Guess how I know that I? Don't never tell you guys not to do something. I haven't figured out that That's the wrong way And I figured it out the hard way That is one cute feather. Oh, you can't even see the top here wait See because I was painting and I wasn't paying attention So I'm taking a few of the colors that we used in their more pure form with less water And I'm putting them down so I get kind of a darker color And like this red I'm going to put at the top and I'm going to pull it down a little bit into the orange It Won't hurt anything and it's just going to make the orange more orange If I get too much of it on there, then I'm going to just use my rag to lift up a little bit These prima paints do lift up really well Okay, and then we're going to go down here with the green Maybe I love this rainbow feathers. This is turning out cuter than I thought it would So and these are quick little projects. We've been on I don't know how long it will be on about an hour And I've made three feathers. These are cute. They're quick. They're easy And they're great practice for your color blending. That's the other thing so You know, especially if you're you know, if you're not sure which colors that you like To have worked together or which colors blend well together With your watercolors. This is or how the watercolors are going to blend This kind of thing these small little projects are great practice for that So I'm dart just darkening up the edges Leaving the parts that would be closer to the viewer where their feathers like curling, right? leaving them Lighter so, you know, you want to have variation in tone in your painting so that It looks like it has depth. So it so it looks like it has more of two dimensions in one dimension and Start light work your way darker and the dark really makes it start to pop I don't know. I've said that like a million times I keep repeating myself Okay, so here's the blue I'm just using the same colors. I've been using If you were going to add a new color to this, I would say add like something neutral like pain great pains gray Um, I wouldn't add any more color to this because it's very colorful. It's beautiful, but it's very colorful Okay, so let's let's dry that because it's really wet Don't get your hands under the heat embossing tool. The sucker gets really hot. You'll burn yourself That's how I found that out So now I'm going to go in with the sharpie pen and I'm going to just add a little bit of the sharpie pen Which is going to help it it's going to help it pop So there's no drawing skill needed to do feather work There's just a matter of lines honestly So and again, don't forget to sign it Be proud proud of your work. Put your name on it. Um, so a hair dryer will work But these heat embossing tools get hotter. Um, I bought mine Obviously a very long time ago at michael's. I used a 40 off coupon I don't know how much they are now. I want to say then the regular price was Like 12 or $15. I don't remember but I know I used a 40 off coupon Yeah, and they have them at michael's and hobby lobby joans Um, you can get the industrial one from harbour freight for really cheap. It gets a lot hotter Um, and I'm pretty dangerous with anything that like is can catch stuff on fire. So I tend to not do that Um, so I'll stick with this one. This one works fine for me. I do have a hair dryer A portable hairdryer I use For when I'm teaching and that works okay, but it doesn't it's slower If you're impatient like me, my middle name is not patience. Then the hairdryer is going to probably make you crazy So now we have that one So look at these how cute are these? And then I have a few natural colored feathers I've done in the past, but how cute would they be? you know on a Piece of paper or a piece of fabric, you know in different sizes and different shapes How cute are they and you don't have to do them and I would do some in the realistic colors But you don't have to you can use these crazy, you know wild Watercolory colors. Why can't you? These are these are great fun Does anybody have any questions? I love this book because it just has all kinds of feathers in it I do want to get one now that I love this one so much. This is north american I want to see like south american like different other parts of the world What do the feathers look like I might it's on my wish list to get more of these feather books from different areas of the world Let's try one of these so We I have time so let's do one more and then we're gonna Say audios for the day If you guys want You can watercolor on fabric. This is canvas But you're going to want to prep the fabric like you would any other fabric you were going to paint on By giving it a good coating of watercolor ground It's like gesso, but for watercolor Golden has absorbent ground. I prefer Daniel smith's watercolor ground it comes in white Like gesso or it comes in clear Trying to see if it's handy here Yes, okay, so daniel smith makes a watercolor ground they make a white they make a black. I don't have But they also have this transparent, which is a clear So depending on what your fabric looks like if you want like if I was using this natural colored canvas I maybe would want a watercolor on it, but not lose the color and texture of the natural fabric So I would probably use clear or if I was going to watercolor on this fabric that has all this other stuff on it I maybe wouldn't want to use this So I'll lose this so I would use clear Um, if you have fabric you don't like and you're you want to just cover it up completely use the white or the black And then you can watercolor on top of it You have to let this sit for I think 72 hours So you just put a coating of it on there set it aside and let it sit and then you can watercolor on it Yeah, I have the bird. I have a few bird books nests and eggs books Uh, this is the only feather book I have but it I have to say it's my favorite Oh, you're welcome patricia And in case anybody's wondering this is a um favorite castile water, uh pencil eraser It's great when you're drawing And you just need you want to just get into a small space especially good for If you are doing a face and you Forget to leave a highlight in the eye and you want to don't want to add paint to it You can just get in here and erase the pencil with us Thank you I will be back on monday with monday with deco art. I'm going to keep painting feathers, but um I will probably be ending the broadcast shortly Do you guys have any questions? So you'll notice I didn't get the paper wet first You don't have to work that way You have more control if you don't and this one i'm doing more of a natural color I am going to blend it out Then i'm going to come in with 24 I think on the tropicals Now like with any other painting that I do um I take inspiration from the photos rather than try to do something literal um I don't generally get super literal or do anything that's super realistic with any of my paints And heather i'm going to answer that question in just a minute. Let me get in here and Blend some of this out before it dries too much I do have a couple of different brands i'll recommend to you Okay, so i'm going to get in here and add this other color and blend out some of it If it blends too much i'm going to get in here with the rag so generally speaking If you just want to play with watercolor and you want to use something That is a little more Of a better paint than like crayola Then um, there are a couple of brands that I recommend prima is one of them You can get any one of the kits here. They're um 25 dollars they come in a nice a small box you get like one of these rows of paint you get one of them um But I really like koi um the koi has a really nice 24 pan set That's a very affordable and it's ad hobby lobby you can use a coupon. So it's even cheaper You also can get wins or newton kits and almost any of your arts and craft stores Their caught min sets or student sets and they work great I haven't seen prima in any of my local stores So um If you have them locally to you I would say go for it and get some I again I haven't seen them. I haven't been able to get them anywhere Except for mail order. So that makes it difficult for me That doesn't mean you guys don't have them in a little, you know, uh, scrapping store near you somewhere koi heather I have their 30 pan set, but I had to order it from amazon Um and my travel art kit actually has daniel smith and koi in it. So i'm just um using this kind of medium brown tone And they're not the exact same colors as the inspiration feather right here, which is from what is this a great great horned owl Um, but again, I'm just taking inspiration now. You could do this in crazy wild colors Use your photo for inspiration and um Where there are lighter colors do lighter goofy colors where there are darker colors do darker goofy colors I do like the idea of creating like I said some fabric or paper with these um with some of them that are You know wild colors and some that are natural. I think that would be interesting Hello, uh, how are you? Oh, see you. I'll see you later Heather But yeah, um, if you can find the primas, they're a really nice quality for the value They come in a very nice metal pan a small metal pan and they have them in color sets I would start with the classics because you have your basic colors. This is the classic kit you get white Um, and then all of these other colors 12 colors and they come in a small metal box So I would definitely start with like this set if you're going to get the primas And then then as your budget allows you can add some of these other sets. They're coming out with two more um They're only 25 dollars and honestly the box they come in is worth 25 dollars Um, it looks just like my metal travel box if you've been here since the beginning. So, um I would think about getting the primas if you can and you don't mind waiting a little bit Um, I if I don't know if they're available anywhere that has a coupon I haven't seen that uh, like I said, but if you need to spend less than that um then Go with koi or winds or newton caughtman and use a coupon You can get both of those a hobby lobby. You can get winds or newton. I know at michael's I'm not sure about the koi. I guess um Michael's I haven't seen koi um at anywhere but hobby lobby And and you know sometimes susan that happens maybe especially because you're having an aha moment Of course, you know, I'm Post-menopausal. So, you know, I cry at commercials. I don't think that's normal All right. So now this is a darker brown And again, I'm barely barely touching it to The paper so we're getting the thin line and where the paper is wet It's going to bleed and that's okay. I'm not right with that So I'm going to do a little bit of it and then I'm going to come in with a clean brush And blend some of it Maybe not all of it And where I've already scratched the paper Um, this color will settle into that crack crack. I don't know if that's what you call it so we're going to Just keep layering our colors it no matter the colors that you're using you want to start light and work your way dark always Yeah, you know, I think I know for me That's normal I I you know and I'm and I'm also you know, I also have anxiety disorder and depression issues and I think when you have all those kind of going on You don't react like other people do to things. Oh, thank you I just want you guys to enjoy art as much as I do and play and have fun If you want to you know, learn how to do things In a more realistic proper manner than maybe I'm not the teacher for you, but For me art should be about just expressing yourself and enjoying the process And you know, maybe it's the post-mental pause a part of me, but you should be worried less about what others people think Because you know at this point to hell with them to be honest with you I mean to us, you know with and reason. I mean, I you know, I care what my husband thinks but So when you start to you know, you just continually work with the darker and darker colors And your image will start to pop It doesn't look exactly like the photo, but that's I'm okay with that So if you're going to do these feathers and you're going to especially if you're going to like I said scan them And put them on fabric or paper. I really think that it makes the bright ones pop a lot if you do some that are in neutral colors No rules lisa. That's right. There's no rules. You know, we're mixed media artists We're having fun with the process. We're expressing ourselves and you know what we're post-multiposal dammit So we don't really care what you think At this stage in my life, I don't have lots of people I need to impress so Except you guys So like right there I'm making I'm making just some suggestive marks at the end of the paintbrush wiggly Kind of lines and I'm going to leave them They're giving my feather an interesting texture I'm going to lift the paper up so you guys can hopefully see a little bit better Right and it's really coming along nicely. So as we're working with it, we're going to get darker and darker So I have this number 10, which is from the classics, which is their darkest brown in this palette And that's the color I've been using I'm going to take it and add it to my plate that I'm using for mixing It's right here and I am going to Actually, I'm going to do this. Let's see So sometimes to get a dark neutral when I'm like at the end of a painting I will frequently I'm going to use my bigger brush I will frequently just take everything that's on the plate and get it wet Mix it together And I'm going to take some more of the brown here And that gives us a nice dark like gray brown because we had purple and pink and green So we kind of had representations of all the Color families in there I'm going to add a little bit of blue I'm going to use the number 36 the like prush any blue that's in here and that's going to Make this darker gray or see what happened Okay, so that's good. I like that color. So we're going to go with that color We're going to stay with the small brush though And we're going to take some of this color And I'm going to start at the top follow along the spine of the feather. I'm pretty sure that's what that's called you know at some point you have to do what you have to do to be happy and It's not about everybody else. It's only about you That doesn't mean if you don't have a life partner that you love you shouldn't take their opinion into consideration, but You do need to be happy Sometimes we're in a situation where the only way we can express ourselves is through our art And it's the healthiest way to express ourselves Um, so then you need to do that. I speak from I'll honestly in honesty and experience and a family of drug addicts and alcoholics, so Hey, Sharon The other thing too getting back to art and expressing ourselves painting and less less on the psychology part of it painting feathers in particular Should be very freeing for me at least they are less stressful Then try to paint a face and getting that face you know to be Exactly the way I think it should be. Um, I am very hard on myself. I am nothing if nothing else. I am my worst critic and I have more fun painting something like feathers and flowers that I could feel like I can be more free and expressive with Then faces so there's that and maybe if you're just like me then You should give this a try So whatever you do to one side you should do to the other do use your rest inspiration photo as as you know an Inspiration for where to put your dark colors and your light colors Where to leave try to leave things white ain't you know, but we're mixed me are so if you If you are um, if you leave something make something too dark and you forget to leave a white space Just go back in with some gel pen It's not a crime So i'm going to put some of this a dark color down here where it's wet and then i'm coming with my card They are very spiritual. I don't disagree with that So we have this dark brownish grayish green color that we made by mixing all of our stuff together Which is making our feather really interesting. It doesn't really look like the photo, but I like it nonetheless I'm going to actually take now Um, there's no pain's gray in this palette, but that's okay. I'm going to use black And I'm going to take the black Um, I'm running out of space here and I'm going to put it on my plate And I'm going to mix a little bit of this grayish green color into it Just so it's like less black. Oh, okay. See you later. Josie glad you're okay over there All right, so now we're going to go in and we're going to add that dark Now if you want it to bleed less than it is here, then you want to dry your paper You can also don't forget, you know, we've got our rag Does anybody have any questions as we finish up this? feather and the broadcast I will be back on monday with monday with deco art and of course wednesday With watercolor wednesday Next week is the first of september. So there will be some fun announcements in the Facebook group if you're not a member you might want to think about joing And some of the fun in preparation for next year Starts next week So when you add the dark color do it carefully Try not to cover up all the work you've already done One thing I like that I like about watercolor is that The layers are so transparent That you can see the other colors, you know and marks that you've already made And let's see where's our little piece of the card Hey, yasna. Hey, hey, how are you glad you could join us? So now I'm going to go in with just the pure black and actually, you know what? I'm going to dry this a bit. Let's try it first because I don't know that I want to go anywhere So now I've got just the pure black on my brush I'm barely barely touching it to the paper The black I got a lot of black on there. Okay So I just rinsed the brush off because that was a lot of black Let's see if we can pull it out Use it in other places because that was Now I could lift that black because that was a lot of black but I'm trying to see and I think I'm being successful Um trying to see if I can work it to my advantage Since I was in the process of darkening up some spots anyway And I think it's working when I am going to lift a little bit of it. There we go. Okay So the pure black so this is a great example of what I'm saying about The dark colors really Making your images pop and even if you're working with the goofy rainbow colors Start with lighter colors and then work your way to darker versions of that same color And that will really make your painting pop whether you're doing a feather a flower a face a leaf It doesn't matter Now generally speaking in my experience and this is true of all the paints I have Your black is a lot more opaque Than the other colors. So is white So you want to Know that going into it. I'm going to turn this around so I can get this a little easier So I'm just taking the paintbrush Barely barely touching it to the paper It's the black And instead of scratching the little hairs and I'm going to paint a few and yeah So don't forget the edges would be darker The edges of the out outer side of the feather would be darker But also the edges of the spine would be darker, right? Because the spine is round And if you're not sure refer to your picture Maybe get some feathers go collect some feathers or buy some feathers and have them in your studio and use them As inspiration for where the light is hitting them and where where the dark parts are and where the light parts are So you see how I'm trying to leave some of the lighter colors right there I forgot what color was using all right And not all your marks have to be blended. You know if you leave some intact It's going to add to the look of your painting add interest But the most important thing is to play Play with your colors play with your paint Have some fun with the whole process I'm going to take some yellow So I'm adding a little bit of yellow here To a couple places on the feather that I want to pop a little bit and the yellow is Not going to do a ton because it's going to um Blend with the colors that are underneath But that's okay It's kind of that's what I want. It is still going to sit enough on top Then it's going to help me add A little bit of a highlight To the feather and I'm going to hold it up in just a minute because I think it's just about done It's a pretty feather. All right, so we're going to dry it one more time Okay, so just so you know those of you who um Are wondering if you're wondering I don't bring my heat embossing tool with me when I go out of town When I'm painting while I'm traveling I only do that when I'm home It's a paint to bring with you and I'm always not always near electricity or an outlet so So we're just adding a few sketchy lines to the black pen And then we're going to sign it right Yeah, you could splatter on it. You could do all kinds of things with it So the yellow just gives it a little bit of a pop So I want you guys to have fun. I don't I have to get another bookmark sleeve out, but I want you guys to have fun and paint some feathers Try it But how cute are these with like one of these neutral colored ones in between? I got hundreds of these So I'll be scanning these and a bunch of other artwork later today So look for them soon to pop up for sale in my Etsy shop as a digital image download that you can reprint and use But I encourage you to make your own feathers Use maybe, you know some brown tones with the blue use Do that with green or you know have some fun with it. Do unrealistic colors. Have some fun with it And I'm going to see if I can find out like a tropical bird feather book That wouldn't that be fun because won't those colors be bright? All right, you guys don't forget the most important thing, right? Oh fluid acrylics would work. Yeah, post it. Please post it in the facebook group If you guys paint any feathers, please post it in the facebook group. I would love to see them I'd love to see the whole group like plastered in images of feathers. That would be great Don't forget the most important thing Right besides just you know express yourself with your art have fun with it Throw the idea of it. It's supposed to look a certain way out the window At least for right now get used to the process get used to your materials decide what you like working with And then of course if you want to be better and more realistic I can and and the others in the group can recommend some fabulous teachers that can teach you how to do that um But the most important thing is to just have fun with the process and express yourself And go out and do something nice for yourself and maybe somebody else because you deserve it and they probably do too all right so Go forward today playing with your materials making some pretty feathers And um living a happy creative life do good for yourself Because probably nobody else in this world is going to I need to say that so pessimistic, but it's true All right, that's it for right now um My facebook group Is in the description below Also the two videos I saw that inspired these rainbow feathers are also in the description below the one where she does her happy planner cover She paints this whole page with feathers on it, then she cuts it and I want to tell her no Scan it first But but anyway, um, she really was inspiring so was lindsay the frugal crafter's video where she did rainbow feathers So go watch them. They do them different than we than I do, but there's nothing wrong with that All right, that's it for today. I'm going to go have some lunch and clean up and I will talk to you all later Bye guys
