I love that green ink in your fountain pen! And the cup of coffee sketch of course :) I may try to do some cafe journaling tomorrow, thanks for the inspiration!
Me too! It's been a while, and we are heading towards the busy part of the year! I am hoping to get a bit of time to pop out and do some cafe journaling again soon, it's a lovely way to unwind at the end of the week! Hope you have been going well over there! 😄
Oh yay! I will do another update again on the ink soon, I am planning to use the ink mainly for sketching and painting. I will also use it for writing occasionally but only with a dip pen as I still feel that even with all my filtering it would clog a fountain pen! I am also worried about mould issues. I plan to only use it with certain nibs and brushes and then make sure that everything is cleaned with vinegar afterwards. I put so much tea tree oil in the second time around - the house smelled amazing but I still don't want to risk it in a pen! 🤣
Gosh I love the detailed texture on your concert owls painting. You have the patience of a saint! 😃 We’re definitely feeling a change in the air some days at the moment and all the jasmine is flowering everywhere which says Spring in no uncertain terms. Lovely video 💕Louise
Thanks so much! I really love painting detail, it's nice and relaxing for me to sit down and just focus on one little paintbrush stroke at a time! I just saw some jasmine flowering here the other day and it made me so happy! Have a lovely day, I am looking forward to checking out your Ferris Wheel Press ink review later on! 🥳💖
@@stationery.shenanigans Yes there are some lovely colours in their crystal ink collection! I would love to try their Beryl and Amazonite inks at some point too. Have a lovely weekend! 😄🥳
It is something I look forward to at the end of every month! Everyone is so nice and welcoming and it's great to just sit for a couple of hours drinking coffee and talking about pens and ink! 🥳
It's never too early to buy a planner :D I'm sure the Moomin would sell out as well. I love how the aurora painting turned out! I feel the depth of it.
Thank you! I can't wait to try more paintings with this sort of technique! :D Also very happy with my Moomin planner puchase, looking forward to just tucking it in the front cover of next year's planner too!
Ahhhh thank you! I really love paper marbling so most of my branding has a cute marbled background! I am hoping I get to do another Zinefest at some point, it was so much fun!
so many beautiful art pieces, squibble! i adore the print and stickers! the polar bear painting and the caribou drawing turned out so nice! thank you for such a relaxing vlog!
loved this vlog squibble!! and i got glimpse of my order hehehe. the polar bear drawings and watercolour tests are so pretty! very recently i bought a kokuyo dotliner glue stamp and it has a smaller refill, maybe that's worth checking if it's available there?
Hi Bubu! Thank you so much! Your order should be nearly halfway to you now I hope! 💖 I will definitely check out the kokuyo dotliner glue stamp, I have seen other people use those and they look good! Thanks for the recommendation! 💖 Have a lovely week ahead! 💐
Thanks for taking us along to the pirate singalong, I had no idea that was a thing! At first I thought maybe the nail paint was put in the wrong section of Daiso :D
The pirate singalong was so much fun, would definitely go again! We had no idea what was going on when we first arrived! 🤣 The nail paint did seem quite out of place, but I am going to keep a lookout and see if more colours pop up! (For my paint palette! 🤣🎨)
Thanks for your reply! I figured that was the case, but I don’t have any gel polish supplies! These cute little pans are definitely going to end up in my travel watercolour palette though! 🥳🎨🖌️
lovely illustration, Squibble, and nice technique on transferring the illustration onto your watercolour paper. your 'zine title cracks me up! So interesting to learn about the walnut ink making.
Thank you so much Beauation! How are you going? I hope you are doing well! :) Sometimes people ask me why I don't use carbon paper for transfers, but I find this method easier even if it takes a little longer with that extra step of adding the graphite! I do try with house plants and have gotten better with the over the years. I think there are just some that I am not suited to care for! 🤣I will be making more ink in another couple of months, I am having a lot of fun making my own art supplies! Thanks so much for watching! 💖
Congratulations on your shop!! I have that same Waterman ink and if you weren't aware, the bottle is designed to by turned on it's side while you fill up the pen. I didn't know that for months lol
Hi Kim! Ah thank you! And gosh yes the Cricut is so much fun, but I wish I could just get it to work consistently! 🤣 The yellow sweater is the best purchase I made last year, it is an oodie! It has lovely soft warm fleece on the inside and it goes all the way down to my knees! I have not been cold so far this winter at all! Hooray! Thank you for watching! 💖
Thank you AmpersandLore! And yes it definitely seems like the machine has a mind of its own sometimes! 🤣 I think I have it sorted for now, but I’m sure it will break with the next app update! 🤣 Thanks for watching! 🎨💖
I loved this video! 😃 Looks like a perfect day out to me, walking in nature with lots of birds to observe. That fellow sitting in his rather precarious nest, bobbing and swaying 😅 The fan tails remind me of our Willy wagtails, they come and dance around you and sing their chaka chaka song. Perfect start to my Sunday morning, thank you for taking us along 💕Louise
Yay! I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Zealandia is a beautiful place to visit and enjoy the birdsong! haha yes there were lots of those nests just above the water, I forgot to mention that it was a shag in the video, there are lots of them living around the lake there! I will have to keep a lookout for Willy wagtails next time I am in Aussie, I would love to see one! Thank you for watching! 💖
The details of the bird’s texture are incredible! Did you study art formally? I’m somehow missed your livestream! The birds sounds are also lovely, I love birds (especially parrots) and their tweeting makes me feel instantly peaceful. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I have been drawing my whole life, and taken after school and night classes where I can! I only started painting in 2015, and it has been so much fun! My livestream here on RU-vid was a random decision just to get over my fear of that first stream, and I don't think there will be a schedule for those. Maybe just one a month when I can squeeze them in? I am so glad you also enjoyed the birdsong in the video! Zealandia is a beautiful sanctuary, if you ever get to visit New Zealand I recommend it!
This is such a cool theme for your drawing! My niece always told me to try procreate but I felt intimidated by it. After watching your video I won't be afraid to try it! Are you using a little tripod when at the cafe?
You should definitely give it a go! It’s heaps of fun just to mess about and try out all the tools! Sometimes I do use a little tripod when I’m out, but this time I mostly just held the phone in one hand with my arm braced against the table! I have also rested my phone against things like the sugar pot in the past, I feel like that’s less intrusive than setting up to film with a tripod! I am still a little shy filming in crowded public places! 😅🎨📷
@@SquibbleDesign I am SO shy when it comes to recording anything in public. I just ordered a little phone stand from Amazon, and I'm going to try it when I'm out at a coffee. It's more discreet than a tripod. I admire the people who just film themselves in public! I don't know why it frightens me :D
@@stationery.shenanigans Me too! I am getting a little better at it, but still definitely not when I am in a crowded place! I also have yet to use the tiny lapel microphone in public, I should really try it and see how it goes. I have mostly been using it at home while filming! I would love to hear how it goes with your new phone stand when you try it out! :)
That’s so wonderful to see your postcards in the cafe 😍I hope you get a discount there! I’ve been refilling the plastic cartridges for my Kawecos too, works a charm. Congratulations on your first Ferris wheel press ink too, a beautiful match for your pen. Lovely video! 😃💕Louise
Thank you for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 😄 I had been thinking about maybe getting a converter for the Kaweco, but I think maybe you get a little more room for the ink if you just refill the cartridges? I am very happy with Three Steamboats and have been enjoying my matchy matchy pen and ink in my planner! 😆🥳🖋📖
Very lovely, thank you Squibble! I hope there comes a day when I can visit New Zealand..! The music is a bit loud in parts, compared to your voice, but not too bad.
Yes there were a couple of clips I missed when I was working on the audio for this video, but all fixed for the next one! Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed seeing a little bit more of NZ! Lots of lovely places to visit in Auckland, I only just scratched the surface in one week! Have a great day!
Yes it's an art market set up by artists, for artists! I had such a good time and I am now thinking I would like to do more art markets in 2024! We will see how I go! :D Hope your holidays have been relaxing and fun! :D
I think the frog drawing would make a cute oil painting some day! 🤣 Oooh you just enabled me to go art supply shopping too! 🤣🌊🖌 Thank you for watching! Have a lovely day! 💖
Wow your music is lovely! That little insect does look scary lol! I don’t know what it is? Beautiful paintings as always! I really enjoy your videos! Ali xxx
Thank you! I am writing the little intro pieces from scratch, but the bulk of the music you hear for the rest of the video I am creating with virtual modular synthesis using a program called VCV Rack. I am still learning the ropes, and my brain feels like it is wading through treacle. I still don't understand a lot of the technical aspects but I am having fun! The insect is a native New Zealand weta, they are basically just very large grasshoppers! Super chill though for the most part - they just like to be left alone so they can enjoy themselves! Thank you for watching, it's been a bit all over the place recently with everything I've had on but hopefully things will settle down a bit now! Have a lovely week ahead! 💖
I’m a bit behind with watching your lovely videos, as I am with all my you tube video subscriptions ! Love the little business card palette you’ve made. I’m wondering whether attaching some Yupo paper, or even just a laminated piece of white paper, to the inside lid might provide a mixing space? I also ‘craved’ the travelers company limited edition palettes but also couldn’t justify the cost. I don’t think they ship outside of the US anyway! I hope you’ll be sharing more of your wonderful art soon! Big hugs, Ali xxx
Hello! I am so pleased with the business card palette, I took it out on the weekend and it worked really well! The only thing is, the adhesive magnetic strips still seem to lift up a bit at the ends. I may have to get out the superglue... :D That is a great idea about Yupo paper, thank you! I think I may have one of their tiny paper pads in a drawer, so I will look for that and see if it works. Perhaps I can use some double-sided tape to attach it to the lid! Have a lovely day!
What a fun place to visit to see the birds in a protected yet still natural habitat. Definitely on my list to visit for a trip to NZ. May I ask what ink you’re using in your Jinhao pen? Is it waterproof? 💕😃 Louise
It is so much fun and I can't wait to do longer treks up to the back of the sanctuary when the weather is better! In the pen - I am using Platinum Carbon ink, and yes it is waterproof! I have also been using the ink in my Platinum Preppy for a while now which is part of my urban watercolour sketching kit. :D
I loved this little update! 😃 I enjoy making little notebooks too…so satisfying. You’ve totally got me intrigued by the printable magnetic stuff for cricut…off to do some research 😂 I’d love to make some cockatiel ones! You’re shocked I know! 😂🤣💕
It was a super satisfying project! I am very happy with my little magnets, the only thing I would say is that they are definitely decorative and wouldn't hold anything up! But for cuteness? A+! I can't wait to see cockatiel magnets if you do make them! 🥳🦜
