GIANT Paper Bag Book Tutorial!
I love finding ways to reuse materials that usually end up in my recycle bin or landfills because I am doing my part to protect our planet while also finding art materials for FREE! I remember making these paper bag books in middle or high school, and recently have been having so much fun with them! Because of the low cost, and super-chill materials, I am finding that I feel much more free with my creativity in a paper bag book than in a beautifully bound sketchbook. I find that there is less stress, and absolutely no black page anxiety when I sit down to create. I have been having more fun cutting and pasting as a creative warm-up before I get into my bigger projects each week. Paper bag...

    What tools do you use to carve? I’m starting this hobby and I’ve tried the work on erasers, and my tools are just too big. I have the actual pads that are like 6 inches by 4 inches and I can work on those nicely, but not small things like erasers. Your work is beautiful and I just subscribed!

    • @Cactuscloudsart

      The speedball set is great! It is shorter than standard blades so it’s way easier to maneuver the small spaces.

    What a great way to help new moms! I suffered postpartum depression in the early 1970’s. I suffered for 4-5 years as well. I have continued to suffer depressive episodes ever since. Art has been my go to therapy. I love your heart and art.

      @Cactuscloudsart 16 часов назад

      Thank you so much! I am really glad we are all talking about this more freely! I think it is more common than people realize. I am sorry you had to suffer with it, and I am glad art has been helping. Creating with our hands helps our brains and bodies work in healthy ways, I can’t say enough about how important creativity is!

    I have a few sets of these tempera sticks, and I LOVE THEM. They seem to work well with every other medium. They're great to smear around on wet paper, they work well with wet paintbrushes or scribbled on a palette then picked up with a brush. They do not work well with stencils, but better than I thought, and they leave a nice impasto texture. I use them in my regular sketchbooks a lot, because they don't need a lot of water, so they don't buckle the paper much (or at all, if you just use them dry).

    • @Cactuscloudsart
      @Cactuscloudsart 15 часов назад

      Thank you for sharing all the ways you’ve used them! I had never heard of them before and am itching to play with them again. That’s my plan for some of my studio time tomorrow. 😍
