@@beckyisj Yes, I have 2 of them. One is for extra colors, and the other is a self-contained set of 12 that I keep in the plastic zip pouch insert of my passport-size Travelers Notebook.
Thanks so much Jennifer :) my writing has been going soo well and it tickles a different part of my brain. But the pull to make RUclips videos has now brought me here from the other end of the ocean :)
Hi, Becky! You may have been missing from YT for a 'long time', but this came up right at the top of my home page this morning! I'm so glad that it did, and to 'see' you again. I'm sad that you felt that you needed to 'level up' your art with courses and all those things! , because the rmain reason I watched you was because of your freshness in what you did! It was real, you were real, and very relatable, in the many-cloned-world that ArtTube had become / is. It's good to see that you're using the same set-up that you were usng nine months ago. Hoping you'll be around a little more, but as and when it fits in to your busy life. It's no fun when things that we use for pleasure and relaxation become a 'must do', a chore. 🤗 Now I'm going to see what you have on your substack - as someone else who's a writer, been a writer all her life, and also loves drawing and painting, it's interesting! 😊
Aw thank you so much Mrs Barnabas! Hopefully I can be around more regularly :) I'll try not to me intimidated again by what Art RUclips is and just do me :) and it's so cool that you're a writer too! Would love to read your writing some time.
@@beckyisj _"I'll try not to me intimidated again by what Art RUclips is and just do me :)"_ It isn't easy, but worth it, for you, as well as for us, 🤗 I've been re-reading some of my holiday books recently, and honestly, they amaze me. Because it's so long since I needed to do any creative writing of that sort, I'd forgotten just what I had done - they take me right back in time and place. As did, and still do, the stories I used to write for the primary age church and after school school children's clubs' puzzle and story books. At the time I wrote our holiday books, I was glad to get to the end of transcribing my 'on the spot' scribbled notes and choosing from the many photos I took or doodles I scribbled to add to the text. I loved writing them, because in doing so, I was transported back to each time and place, but by the end, after editing, etc, I was happy to send them off to family and friends and put mine on my bookshelf! (The first few were pre-computer, were typed on an ordinary electric typewriter, then photocopied at the local shop before sticking in the visuals to each one, checking that the pages were all in order and binding them!) The children's stories were an absolute joy and amazing to write. I began knowing the theme, and the first line, and from then on, they just 'wrote themselves', so reading them through was like reading them for the first time. There is no doubt in my mind that it was God's inspiration which kept my creativity alive and well over roughly four years, for every week of term term, Summer Holiday Club and Christmas goodie-bags!!!! I had a big cast of characters in the fictional Kid's Christian Club - KCC for short - by the time I left, but somehow never muddled them up (helped by maintaining a constantly updated database with my drawings of each one's head and shoulders, personal details - age, hair and skin colour, parents, siblings, friendship group, etc on my laptop and flash drive). The children each had their favourite puzzles and characters, and hoped theirs would be in that week's story, but they read them anyway. Writing those stories and making the puzzles** for them is one of my happiest 'acheivements'. **A junior and senior wordsearch, crossword and maze, code words, and spot the difference were all made easier on a computer than drawing by hand! None of it is online, amd never will be. My 'The Seasons' accounts of my plein air adventures were for my forum's members only, and pre-date the advent of Google seaches and internet thefts of writers' work. The forum's long gone as we moved on. 'The Seasons' still exist in paper form, but that is where they will stay.
@@beckyisj When I was younger (at High School in the 1960's), along with probably every other girl in that school of approx 350 girls(!!!) I read the complete set of Chalet School books. As an adult, I gradually bought the complete set. Re-reading as an adult, I found so many errors in continuity, especially the characters, that it stopped being irritating, and became fun just to find them! But it taught me a very important lesson - the one about keeping my database (any database) up to date.! And I've actually had to refer back to it for something I was doing today! 😄
@@beckyisj Hi, Becky. Just to let you know that there's a package on its way to you, currently somewhere between France and Hong Kong, so hopefully, it'll land in your PO box soon! If the tracker picks it up once landed, I'll let you know, but at the moment, it's been stuck on, "Your package has just left the country and is in the hands of the carrier'" since early Friday morning, my time. BTW, it isn't art supplies. Hope you'll like them, though. 😊
Lovely to see a new video from you!
Thank you!
So glad you're back!
Trying my best :)
Glad you're back.
Thanks!
Glad you’re back. For even more compact use the Art Toolkit Demi-Palette with 12 mini pans.
Have you tried it? I've always been intimidated at how tiny it is!
@@beckyisj Yes, I have 2 of them. One is for extra colors, and the other is a self-contained set of 12 that I keep in the plastic zip pouch insert of my passport-size Travelers Notebook.
@@arlenealennox3136 omigosh it fits inside a passport-sized TN!! that's so great!
Becky I’m so glad that you are back. I hope you have been well. How has your written going. Sending hugs from across the ocean. 🤗
