Your tutorial was great, and I learned a lot. Thank you.

Yes! Sooooooo agree!!

I was really smiling to myself as I was watching your video! I'm always for more ideas to maximize the space I have. My WHOLE craft/sewing room is totally Ikea. Six of the low Alex units put together have created a great swing/craft table in the middle of my room. Give me so much storage underneath. have another tall one that has all my machine embroidery threads in it, and another low one for my printer, with all the related things in the drawers beneath it. I also have Kallax units for storing all my paper crafting items, both in the main part of the room and in the closet. What would crafters do without Ikea. 🤣

could not even hear this

Where did you get the rinse water bowl????

what were the 2 reds i think you skipped one!

I love the distress crayons too. We have the same favourites

The world does use 1 measurement, but someone doesn’t want to 😂 how do you inch…. I can’t 🤣

Such a good exercise to find out what you like together, also a great reference tool to create at the same time!

The Goldfaber markers are not lightfast. I've been in touch with Faber-Castell and asked and I did my own test too, and they fade away. It's a pity because they are lovely.

Where is the link for these?

Love this video thank you for sharing. Do you have any videos to show the process of how you use soft pastels with the gelli plate like you showed in your sketch book?

Are those Tombow dual tip markers?

Similarly, I’ve been inspired by Emma Carlisle (and see you have been too) in using the gelli plate with pastels, the distress range, and the pith supply sketchbook :)

you can make ranger colors with neo ll, I do it wetting them on a smooth piece of hot press paper and remember the combo

I wonder if anyone here has used the distress watercolor pencils and how the colors compare to the crayons.

How do you not have a bright pink marker??? SHOCKED

I think the piece you did at 24 + minutes is maybe my fave? I don't know why exactly...it just hit me.

Oh Irit, My Wife has been struggling with the options for colors and applications of those colors of non-archival mediums. I assume this is because Artists are expected to be mixing their colors and scrapbookers are storing their art inside of books away from the light! I have tried to get her interested in professional grade watercolors but getting that certain color right out of the tube just is not so easy. Even those 250+ offerings from like DanSmith are not even close. I am currently trying out the Rosa paints for her and trying to figure out how to mix some of her more favorite or most used colors. I am going to try her out on the Neocolor sticks 1&2, maybe they will do the trick? Have a lovely day!

Hi Irit! Thanks for sharing all your fave beautiful colors! So soft and pretty and with what's going on in our world right now...I really need to look at a lot of soft & pretty! I have a lot of TH Distress Oxide stamp colors and other paper-crafting products from him. And since you mentioned him...and for those who aren't familiar, Tim Holtz Distress and Distress Oxide crafting color products (primarily stamp ink, but his gel crayons & much more) along with his Ideology embellishments and paper crafting products are likely some of the most popular, best and highest quality crafting products out there. I think one day, we may actually see some artist quality color products by Ranger, the company who produces the Distress line. TH also licenses his designs for dies to Sizzix and stamps to Stamper's Anonymous...and paper cutters and scissors to Tonic Studios, I think. I love fine art, and keep that at the top, but I love paper-crafting/mixed media too. Tim has been doing live shows on his YT channel almost every Saturday for some time to debut his new products, explain how to use them and show what his amazing designers do with them. For anyone who hasn't seen these videos, you really should check out his channel. They're really fun and often long, but very enjoyable to watch...even if you're not a paper crafter, I think you'll find them worthwhile to watch. (The holiday creations, that you will see in early fall for Halloween to Christmas are probably the most viewed...the makes are just fabulous.)

Hullo Irit, I wish you every success with your art club! I calculated the time needed to watch the videos released by the artists that I follow, ONLY Artists, and it would take me 37+ hours a day to watch the content posted. Now not everyone posts everyday, this is from a weekly average! I also follow people that post longer video content 30 to 45 minutes. I enjoyed watching your choices and I hope you continue this trend in updating your viewers as to your current favorites, as I have trouble seeing every video posted. Thank you for sharing your time with your viewers.

Unfortunately I don't have the bandwidth for Joy Art Club right now, but I really hope you do a RU-vid video demoing what you're doing with soft pastel and the gelli plate! I got a gelli plate to try sealing pastels I'd done with sticks on paper; that doesn't work so great. (I saw someone do it with a thin layer of Pan Pastel and that works much better.) Are you drawing with pastel right on the plate? Then brayering acrylic medium over it?

Please tell me you’ll be doing a Gelli plate tutorial?

I found this really interesting and I've added the distress crayons to my wishlists. Some really lovely colours!

Hello! The stamps are great! Unfortunately the link doesn't work! Where can I get them?

The marker palette is lovely. No suggestion on a sea color. My latest Caran D’Ache Favorit is Malachite, Neo I & II . For your last stream/ live I was not feeling well but rewatched & am running with the: fill a sketchbook ides. Landscape 15 x 9 cm, soft, white average WC paper. By Creative Mark their Reflexions type. Thank you for this video💕 With you, Distress Crayons are Art Crayons 🗺️⭐️

Thanks for talking about the Goldfaber markers. Will check them out because I'd like to have a few when traveling and the Albrecht D ones are too chunky. I noticed there is a Water Blue that might fit the bill for your soft blue-green.

Hi Irit- Tombow #291 possibly. This color seems softer than the ones you have out. Check out Zig Acrylic Liner in gold if interested. I’ve been using it over acrylics. The zig gold is brighter than most. Thanks💕

what a fantastic list, might have to pick a couple of these up myself ☺☺

great supplies, thanks for sharing

I recently drug out my distress crayons to play with also. What I enjoy about them is that they are creamy like an oil pastel but they dry quickly. Better for sketch books.

They have the Faber Castell Pitt Artist Dual Marker wich are having a small tip but are chuncky like the Albrecht Dürer. But they have India Ink, It means they they are not watersoluable like the Albrecht Dürer one . Hope it helps.

I'm in the US and I made an order with Jackson's over the past couple of days. Initially, all items were in the Maine warehouse and shipping would have been 9 something, almost $10. Then I added an item that was only in the UK warehouse. In that case all items would then ship from the UK. The shipping from the UK would be $5.92. So about twice as far to ship will cost me half as much. Something to keep in mind when ordering from the US.

Hey there ! Thanks for sharing this ! I just started following Sandi Hester and Emily Powell. It has really opened my mind to some new and refreshing ways to paint. I hope you will share your new and inspired work on your channel

What's wild is that by playing "cart roulette" I can often get Jackson's shipping from their UK warehouse down to like a couple dollars and it can actually be more to send stuff from the US warehouse!! And there is no customs hassle in the US. I have been really into soft pastels! It's a whole thing!! So you ordered some recently? Edit: Just a warning, Diane Townsend pastels are super super fragile and you will have to be incredibly careful to get them back home intact. You were probably also wondering about Terry Ludwig pastels. They are good, not sure they are truly worth the price, but I did spring for some. Personally I have been loving Blue Earth, but those are the softest of the soft! But packed very well. But, Dakota Pastels in Washington State is the only place that carries them, so unless you're coming here to where I live, you won't be able to buy those in a store.

I wish we could get the Fabrianio Vergatone books in the US without paying a ridiculous amount for shipping! The only way to get them seems to be from Fabriano directly.

Yepp. Beautiful this.

The best watercolor paint.

Thank you so much for a lovely review! I, too, found this book through Sandy’s channel and I ordered it immediately. Emily’s book is whimsical and filled with JOY. I read it from cover to cover and found it to be such an easy read. 10 out of 10 would purchase again!

I have a similar palette, just a touch larger (it's almost exactly A6 size), made by fclub. It's one of my all-time favourite palettes, such a versatile format! And I much prefer a thinner well or pan with more surface area vs the depth of a half pan. The flat profile of palettes like this also means they'll slip into a bag next to a sketchbook without adding much bulk at all. I'm definitely interested to see how the gouache holds up in these tiny pans, it'd be great if that works well! Re: buying Art Toolkit in Europe: Artemiranda sells them! They're very expensive though (that's why I'm sticking with my cheap fclub one lol)...
