:D This was a fun little project I'm so, so proud of. Who knew I could make pretty like this?
Also, if you haven't seen it yet, here's the video I did for Stampington & Co. (Check out the page there for materials, how-to, and photos!)
{studio vlog tuesday: secret tag-y things! (now with more sewing machines!)}
I realized this week that I've been doing these vlogs for over 7 months, now, which is pretty awesome. There's a wealth of information over on the channel page (or if you click the vlog tuesday tag to this post), stuff I haven't edited down for YouTube. There's always something new, and as I dive into this new creative river, I just can't wait to show you all, each week, just what I've been up to.
[ Studio Vlog Tuesday, 8/17/10: secrets can be fun! ]
This week, I show you how to make the page below, and even pulled out my sewing machine. Yes, there were technical difficulties, but I think the stuff I've been able to figure out (most notably the chat now displaying on the recording, for all those who can't make it live) really made it all worth it.
PS -- if you're one of those who said I! for a journal, please leave me a comment! I'm ready to go snuggle in bed with a good book and a good puppy, so details will be up tomorrow, but I'd just like to get a final number. Also, if you watch the recording and want one, comment here too! Shall order supplies tomorrow!
PPS -- Dawn, I totally know you're getting one. And to hand off a journal in person during our wild Chicago Art Fun Time (with Ky) is going to be EPIC.
{vlog thursday? the re-scheduled weekly vlog! watercolor crayons! yipee!}
This week's live vlog! Hello to the new faces! Please let me know what you'd like me to show you next week, or as some questions to get answered. Love ya all! Off to class!
PS. Will spend tomorrow replying to everyone's comments from the last two entries VIA EMAIL. I really want to write a note to everyone who came by!
{journal-making fun}
How long has it taken me to start this? *laughs* The journal I'm using for this series is actually for darling Beth, one of my long-time readers and friends (who heartily supports me and makes me feel like a "real artist" sometimes, even though she doesn't know it; the smallest things can have huge impacts!).
Days here haven't provided very good light, so I've had to put-off making vids until I can get a sunny day! Unfortunatly, today I am booked until 5 or so, and by then, the sun's gone down. I'll try filiming with the overhead light on, though, just for you!
Thank you SO MUCH for your feedback on the last post. I adore your honesty in telling me things that may be hard to hear. I LOVE having others there to give me different perspectives, and I may be changing things. And doing rounded corners -- they won! Tomorrow, I'm working on the journal pages sets, as well as a new look and logo (and hopefully moving the blog up to the main domain) for the blog, along with some more new features. I've neglected things here for too long!
Anyway, vid time! I'm off to get my eyebrows waxed for the first time....wish me luck? *nervous!*
I've created a playlist on YouTube you can follow to get a "class" of journal-making fun...and all for free! There's also time to order a journal or two before the holidays!

{video: writing with ink in your journal}
You asked for it, and here it is! I had to switch over to Vimeo for this one, as it was over 10 minutes and rejected by YouTube.
I've also started a new thread in the forums: help suggest topics for new videos! Put down what you'd like to see by following the Forum link on the sidebar.
I am now going to collapse, as editing this + deep cleaning = dead!kira
