    I love your cat stickers, they are so CUTE! Btw the adhesive that I use is the Tombow permanent adhesive. It’s like a pen corrector but instead is glue and is powerfully hehe you just need a tiny bit and it works wonders.

      Aw, thanks! I am so glad you enjoyed this video! I have been really enjoying watching and listening to relaxing JWM videos, but then when you film them yourself, it's easy to question wether or not it's relaxing or boring :D So thank you for your kind feedback.

    • @MaikeOatley
      @MaikeOatley 6 дней назад

      Thank you so much, that's encouraging to hear :) I think having a go-to outfit and changing out the accessories and shoes is a very efficient way to get dressed. That probably makes packing for trips super simple as well.

    I put a cello tape around my tombow, right around the pen where the colour number is. That way the tape protects the number from rubbing off and I can still see it through the tape. 😊

  • @tortagialla
    @tortagialla 10 дней назад

    Lovely to have some relaxing journal time - I agree! I am not used to drawing with an audience, and even recording it gives me the nerves, lol! I also think it's hard to have a good setup to record the right angle, so thank you for taking the time and effort to do this! I think your characters are so cute - also they are looking at each other! It's amazing how adding a bit of color really makes the illustrations pop too! Also an interesting topic to consider personal style. I have tried many times to document outfits and do some wardrobe overhauls, but still end up being a bit all over the place currently. I also work from home or just doing school runs, so rarely dress up... I find myself too lazy to think about it on a day to day basis, so then it just becomes basic like jeans and a sweater.

    • @MaikeOatley
      @MaikeOatley 8 дней назад

      So glad you enjoyed this video, Linda! I would definitely consider myself a "line person" in that I really enjoy line art, both the making as well as the look of it. But every time I decide to add a bit of color, I like how much more alive it all looks :) Personal style is fascinating to me. But I try to not stress about it or see it as a must. Most days I am content with a sweater and jeans :)

    • @tortagialla
      @tortagialla 8 дней назад

      @ I have realized that sometimes it’s hard to even objectively think about if I truly like something or am I being influenced and judging with someone else’s eyes - in outfits like what someone my age ‘should’ look like or in art or other parts of life too. Interesting to think about 🤔 because of course our preferences have been formed by our environment and experiences… hmmm what is authenticity!?!?

    • @MaikeOatley
      @MaikeOatley 6 дней назад

      Ah yes, that is indeed really tricky. And I think we can be influenced to like something or buy something, but the opposite is true as well in that we can be influenced to stop liking something. I guess that is similiar to what you brought up in regards to dressing "age-appropriate". And I agree that that applies not only to fashion, but all kinds of things... even journaling.

    • @MaikeOatley

    Thank you for sharing all your lovely journals! I love your character, Hattie! She may be for your illustrated book that you've mentioned, but I think it would be so fantastic if some of your brainstorm characters show up in some of your Collage Club as friends or "supporting characters" 😻 They are so charming! I love the anthropomorphic (sp?) friends stories like Frog & Toad! It reminds me of reading with my kids when they were young ❤ And i can relate with your love of fabrics. I cannot sew, but fabrics and feeling the textures and patterns definitely satisfies some sort of artsy, creative side in me as well!

    • @MaikeOatley
      @MaikeOatley 13 дней назад

      You're the best Aileen! Your comment warms my heart. And it makes me so happy that you love Hattie! And yes, I am working on a comic for kids with her as the main character...at least that's the plan :) And I'll see if I can get some of those cuties to join the cats :) Books like Frog & Toad are totally my jam!

    @DaisyDoodles 16 дней назад

    Oh my gosh! I had no idea that you lived in the Bluegrass region (at least I'm kind of assuming you do since you mentioned natural bridge.) I grew up in Eastern Kentucky in a little town about an hour away from Lexington. I spent a lot of time in Richmond too as a teenager. I straight up thought you lived in Germany! hehe. Have you tried Ale-8 One yet? It's a popular local soft drink in the area. Some people love it, some hate it! I personally really love it, it's like a super strong ginger ale - and they do lovely seasonal flavors like Blackberry or Peach. It's funny, that soda feels like home to me, and one day I was on a road trip and I happened to pass by a lady who had a tattoo of an Ale-8 One Soda bottle and it made me homesick! Haha.

    • @MaikeOatley
      @MaikeOatley 13 дней назад

      Yes, I've been living in the Bluegrass for about 4 years now. My husband is from here. And I love Ale 8 - so refreshing! I think I've tried their cherry flavor, but have yet to give the peach or blackberry a go, though that's sounds yummy too! A tattoo of an Ale 8, now that's a superfan right there :D But yeah, I can totally relate to random things one encounters making one homesick.

I have to add that I have a severe cat allergy, so have never been a "cat person", but your cats are so cute and they remind me of childhood books, so I just had to subscribe! And I reach for your stickers more than others. : )

    • @MaikeOatley
      @MaikeOatley 18 дней назад

      Thank you Anita! Yes, the printables are set up the same way as the freebie is, so you would have to cut them yourself. I do upload the printables as both pdf and as a png with transparent background, which I have heard makes it easier to use with a cutting machine. Let me know if you have more questions :)

    Hi Maike!😊 This was such an enjoyable video! I love listening to you talk about stationery and I usually learn something new too! Your delfonics pouch is so pretty and wow does it hold a lot! It’s such a shame those little scissors aren’t better for cutting, they’re so pretty! I wish I had a recommendation for good precise cutting scissors, I have one pair that was gifted to me so many years ago and the others I use aren’t necessarily that great but they do the job😅 I use the big Elmer’s glue stick and it works well for me, I have glue pens from stationery pal that work nice for precise gluing and I’ve heard really good things about scotch glue sticks but I haven’t used them myself. I hope you find some scissors and glue that fit your needs!☺️ I think a sticky pocket in your sticker book for Stickii (and other) sheets sounds like a great idea! I just spent some time today putting stickers in my reusable book and it was such a cozy activity! That’s so cool that a weeks fits in your pen pouch! Thank you so much, I had such a lovely time watching this video! I hope you’re enjoying a beautiful weekend!❤

    • @MaikeOatley
      @MaikeOatley 13 дней назад

      Thank you so much Rachel, I really appreciate your kind words! So glad to hear you enjoyed the video. I ended up getting myself scissors by Tim Holtz.

Hope you are doing well!

    For me collecting stickers is just part of the journaling hobby. I may or may not use what I have, but just having them brings me joy. I love to look through them to find just the right one for what I'm working on in a particular day. Or sometimes I just put down a random sticker because I'm tired of looking at it want it out of my stash! We all journal differently and use our creativity in different ways. And what makes sense one day may not the next. I think as a community we tend to go a bit in cycles. Maike, your artwork is adorable and it always makes me so happy to look at. You keep doing what you do and don't give thought to what the opinions of others are. Years from now when you look back at your journals you will find joy in the creative pieces you have in there and the memories it will bring back. How boring to look at a journal with only text!

      Thank you Kathy for your thoughtful comment! It's interesting that you bring up that as a community we tend to go in cycles. I think that has validity to it... feels true anyway. I guess we see that in fashion or interior design too, how it swings from minimalism to maximalism and back. Nothing is ever the right answer for everyone, at all times. Most things have seasons to them, don't they.

    Hi Maike, lovely video and thanks for talking about some of your daily supplies. I loved the dedicated stickers release book for your own art stickers - so many beautiful creations - it almost feels like you should create a permanent catalogue of them with dates so could see your creations grow with your artistic skills. I can highly recommend the Tim Holtz scissors, I hesitated/delayed at first as they are pricy but I live with a neurological disease so my hands experience cramping and fatigue - I also need to use wider barrel pens for the same reason - I find fountain pens easier to write with - less hand fatigue than with gel or rollerball pens. I also wanted to point out that I have the same A7 Kraft grid notebook but I took the spiral binder off to remove some of the pages and keep the loose sheets in the Kraft folder of my TC Passport TN. - less weight and bulk to have out. - my hands cannot lift too much weight these days. Thank you again for sharing about our favourite supplies. 🙏🏽🫶🏽🥰 Varsha.

      Thank you Varsha for your lovely comment! Yeah, I do need to figure out a way to chronicle my illustrations. Maybe for the time being I could look into setting up a binder. That way I could combine traditional art and print outs. And thank you for your recommendation of the Tim Holty scissors. I got myself a pair. They arrived today and so far they seem comfortable and a definite improvement over my old ones.

    ok, I"m a self-proclaimed "cat lady" as my kids are now adults so we have cats lol. Do these printables come with cut lines so I can use a silhouette or do I have to cut them myself? I love this so much!

      Aw that’s precious! How many furry kids do you have ? I do upload the printable as pngs with transparent background, if that helps. I know that some cutting machines can generate cutlines automatically, but I don’t have experience with that personally.

      @@MaikeOatley I’ll play with the freebie and see what I can do. I’m not great at it either lol. I have five cattos. Oldest are two sisters that are brown/white tabbies and are 7. A five year old orange boy. And an orange female that’s 3 and an all black female that’s 3. The babies are both bat-shi* crazy in their own ways lol but we love them all!!! 🥰

    I use and love the Tim Holtz 5" scissors. They self sharpen and the handles are so comfy I can cut for ages without pain!

    Delfonics is my go to stationery bag.😍 My scissors for detail cutting is my Cutter Bee precision scissors from the 90s. My handles are peeling from use and age. Cutter Bee scissors are still available and are labeled as “same as original” but not sure if they are the same? The Tim Holtz tonic studio 5 inch scissors are on my wishlist. I prefer Fiskars brand and they go on sale sometimes at Hobby Lobby. A pocket for stickers 👍🏼 is such a good idea. Neat to learn that the regular Hobonichi weeks fits in the Galen leather pen pouch (it’s going on my wishlist). I’m surprised that Tombow hasn’t come out with minis, that would be awesome! I see some people using the Kokuyo Gloo glue stick but I haven’t tried it yet. I currently have the Coccoina glue stick, I like the almond scent but the glue seems melty and too soft sometimes. A lot of great stuff in this video. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏼

      I ended up opting for the Tim Holtz scissors. So far they've been comfortable and a definite improvement to my old ones. Maybe we need to write Tombow and let them know that we'd be very interested in mini markers :) I've heard of the Coccoina glue stick, but never realized that they smell like almond, that sounds lovely!

    Hi! What is the black fountain pen? It's lovely.

    • @MaikeOatley
      @MaikeOatley 24 дня назад

      That's the Pilot Custom Heritage 912. I have it in the soft medium fine. The soft means it has a bit of give in the nib, which I enjoy for drawing, but it's not a true flex nib. Let me know if you have more questions about it :)
