    If you like cocktails, make alcohol-free versions and enjoy reading on the deck! I used to fix a drink when I got home from work, but I live alone, there are others with alcohol problems in my family, and I thought this is not a healthy pattern! So I would come home, fix my virgin drink, and sit down to unwind. Do you know it was every bit as effective to unwind? It was the ritual I needed! Since then, I have limited myself to drinking alcohol in socially only. So fix yourself a mocktail and get out on that deck!

      I too live alone and have alcoholism in my family background. After my wife passed, I was led down a dangerous path. But good sense and two very caring adult children with love and watchfulness and that path took another direction, but I an still very cautious. Mocktails are a viable alternative. I even have found an alcohol free beer!

Mine is over a year old, kept in my office/studio where the temps fluctuate from 50s - 90s, and it’s still holding up. I did test it, and my papers adhered well. When I tried to pull it apart, the paper tore and the glue didn’t budge.

    Colorful Collage did a test of 10 different glues she uses for collage, including the Yes paste, and it did indeed yellow. I recommend watching her video for some alternative craft glues. I don't think she noticed the yellowing while she was testing, but you can see it on the video (along with some of the other glues). Congratulations on selling out the Italy event!

    Another great SatChat ❤ Btw, I stopped alcohol consumption completely recently because of empty calories and I can relate because I used to do exact same, have a glass of wine with reading. Since then I have replaced it with different teas, if it’s afternoon and I need caffeine then green tea, if I want caffeine free but a bit peppy version I’ll go for peppermint and if it’s night and I’m almost ready for bed, sleepytime tea. I had my doubts about would it relax my tense mind enough, but they do work great… good for health, wallet and you can freaking drive after having some if you want to 😊🎉

    You might could replace your wine with sparkling water in a special glass to still trigger yourself to wined down and relax. My husband is 2 years sober this month and drinks topo chico sparkling water glass bottles as they feel very similar to a cold beer. They are very crip and lovely to drink if you like fizzy drinks. You can also add lemon, lime or any flavors you like to they. You could even put real fruit (frozen or fresh berries) in the bottom of a champagne glass and pour the water on top and sip away. Nonetheless, I'm happy for you as you choose a healthier lifestyle either way you go about it. My cut back needs to be sweet treats; I just love sugar and chocolate things 😋

    I don't know if I missed hearing it, or if he just didn't go last time, but I think it's fantastic that Jason's going with you and you're going to add a vacation on to your Italy trip. I think you should add as much time as you can afford, before or after the workshop, and really enjoy yourselves. From the vantage point of 49 years of marriage, one thing we never did enough of was to travel, just the two of us. (One memorable trip we did do was to travel to Bar Harbor 11 years ago. We had a fantastic time, apart from discovering the hubs gets extremely seasick on our whale watching tour! We went home via Jackson,NH and "did" Mt Washington in our itty bitty Yaris. We both decided we could live there, without a doubt.) So you're both young and healthy and mostly unencumbered with children - get in all those experiences! You will not bemoan that priority when you're retired and less able to do such things, I promise you.

    I’ve never used the “Yes Paste” but I’ve been working on a collage piece recently and needed something thicker and grabbier than the matte medium I was using so I used the Golden brand “high solid gel” it’s basically modeling paste but with acrylic solids instead of powdered marble, it’s FABULOUS, dries clear, and it definitely sounds cheaper than those new Yes Paste prices

  • @nancyclemmensen

    Hey Lindsay, "madhabitz" here -- when this came up before I posted about Grandmother Stover's stikflat glue that is virtually the same stuff as Yes! paste, but it's at those old prices. I paid $9.80 not long before the discussion about it -- now it's up to $11.95 with a 5%-off coupon. Etsy has it for $9.99, and eBay has it for $6.98. As for using it for colllage, the stuff is archival, but save it for bookcloth pasting onto bookboards. Use it in a thin layer.
    For what it's worth, a lot of book artists cook up a wheat paste for pasting bookcloth to boards, but you'd want to use PVA (the archivao stuff}, not the white school glue people started calling PVA a few years ago. They are *not* the same thing.
    As far as the moldy problem goes.... just make small batches. There are tons of YT videos on how different people do it -- takes only a few minutes to make.

    Hey Lindsay, Need some advice. Trying to put together Paint Alongs for extra income & something easy to do. Need budget friendly advice for brushes. Thinking maybe two flats, two rounds, and a liner brush for each person. Sets have too many sizes. Will keep canvas to about 11 x 14. Should I get tube paints or liquid acrylic or craft paints which would be less expensive? Do I need table easels or can we use a rolled towel or tube to prop the little canvases on?
    Would probably need this for maybe 12 to 15 people. Thanks! Lesley from Boynton Beach, Florida 😊

    • @thefrugalcrafter
      @thefrugalcrafter  29 дней назад

      I think it would depend on how often you will do it. I know Michael's has bulk acrylics, canvasses and easels for paint parties. I'd check that first. I'd probably get 1/2 gallon bottles with pumps for paint. The Blickcrylic was always good. They sell a pack of pints if you aren't sure if you will use so much: shrsl.com/4nskt
      Brush choice sounds fine. Blick also has the zen all media brushes which hold up well.

Thank you for sharing all of your thoughts, I gotta comment (as so many others have) on buying art supplies over paying for medical procedures to create a differing illusion of one’s self! You young lady are truly lovely just as you are! Thank you for sharing another wonderful SatChat with us all! OH! I have stopped using most glues on my artworks, the one exception is that glue we use for book binding it is ph neutral and dries clear! Ah PVA Glue!

      Thanks so much! Yes, I'd love to do a retreat in New England or New York. I'm not sure how I'd fare in the southwest tho because I'm not used to so much dry heat.

    Never tried Yes paste but I have tried Nori paste which is a tapioca starch paste. It is readily available at least here in the UK from art supply, bookbinding supply or printmaking supply shops (It can also be used for woodblock printing).
    Another option is Methylcellulose. It makes a very repositionable paste but isn't the strongest adhesive on its own. It is often used by bookbinders in a mix with PVA glue to give a longer time to reposition/ adjust bookcloth or endpapers etc with the strength of the PVA.

    Congrats that your Italy class filled quickly! Does not surprise me at all! I used to use Yes Glue years ago. And it was much cheaper then. $10 for the large size at my then local stamping store. I just looked online and it is ridiculously expensive. I saw one price at $39 for the large size. I haven't used it in years, but it's definitely time to find another option that is more affordable.

    When you were talking about making your own paste and mold It came to mind that I make my own spray starch with flour and or potato or rice starch and it's called hooch spray because you add vodke or 91% rubbing alcohol to prevent it molding. I've had it under my kitchen sink for months at a time and no mold, Maybe that would work with homemade paste.

    How wonderful that your Italy retreat sold out so quickly! I am so happy for you! I also still have doubts about whether people want what I make or if it is a fluke. I did so well on my Ginger Treasure Box and am just about ready to release the next box - a Halloween one called "Critter Coven". It has taken two months to create and write the 17 patterns and get the stuff for the kits ready, so I really feared that no one would want it. So much work! (So much RISK!) But I mentioned in passing that it was up for pre-order on my site and it has done well already - and I haven't even done the official release yet. So I was encouraged and pleasantly surprised and it keeps me moving forward. Do we ever develop confidence in ourselves? I mean - I have 'some' but I still fear every time I do something new. I was so happy to see your title today.

      I didn't handle the logistics, uptrek books the property, hires the cooks and procures the supplies I need. They pay me a fee to teach and out if that I pay my own travel expenses. The cost to students to attend can range from 4k-6k plus travel expenses which will vary for everyone. Hope that helps.

      I guess I am asking for logistics on the business side of what you do since you have been in business with valued years of experience. In general as well when you take a class or travel for retreats how is it handled in your business. This may be too intrusive or not content you may wish to cover. Take care and thank you.

    If you don’t want alcohol, what about a mocktail or just a special drink that’s non-alcoholic? I like to add a splash of grape juice or crab-grape to seltzer water for something tasty that feels special.
