This video is a work of art (from the work itself to the humor and edition 😂😂😂❤❤❤) loved it! Also, what would be “curing” the worm? Does it mean leaving it air dry?
Haha thank you so much 💖 When I am 'curing' clay in the video, I am actually putting it in the oven! For this sculpture I used polymer clay, which only hardens in the oven at 130°C 😇 if I were to use air dry clay then yep, curing would mean to let it air dry!
Absolutely gorgeous! I've also done the corporate life, and it is hard. It's emotionally draining, and can feel suffocating when it feels like nothing will ever be "complete". Keep up the amazing work <3 <3 <3
I am glad you enjoy the sculpture ❤️ yep corporate is definitely for (in my opinion) a very small portion of people, and the rest are just left to struggle unfortunately:/
Congrats on surviving a year in corporate! I totally agree with what you said, it's nice to hear someone talk about just how suffocating working in corporate can be. People talk about "the corporate dream" so much that I feel like they often overlook just how toxic the work environment actually is. The sculpture is also gorgeous as always :)
Thank you so much for the kind words and I'm glad you like the sculpture ❤️ yeah I feel like the corporate dream can turn into a bait and switch if you are not careful/experienced, so having others talk about it more is needed!!
hi im listening to your video while watching you draw and just hearing you talk about all these things felt really calming and helpful i hope ur able to post more of the stuff u want to talk about bc it feels rlly relatable to listen to it <3
Good talk. Good advice. I also listened to Bruce Lee years ago when he said to "Be like , wata" meaning, become the shape of what you are doing. Also to play.....seriously.
I’ve been jobless for soon a year now, after only having a job for only 6 months. It is very true about not having the experience to make you hireable. I had to change jobs due to moving houses initially, and I’ve not been able to get back on my feet since. It’s depressing, filling out applications that get rejected sucks yeah, but I haven’t been able to pursue any of my passions either as it’s been more and more overwhelming to thrive, all of my labor in the past year has been unpaid, trying to get into a stable job has been unpaid labor. I don’t have fruits to show, and it just sucks, the embarrassment of hanging out with friends and not pulling my weight. It’s not freedom, and it’s not my most joyful moment in my life. And so, the advice I impart on others is the same as you, take the time to enjoy where you are right now, joy isn’t gonna find you, you gotta make it where ever you are.
I am sorry to hear about your situation :( I am sure that things will eventually work themselves out, and I have nothing but admiration for you sticking through such a difficult period ❤️
It looks so adorable and lovely! Your artstyle is very interesting, I love the technique and the way you're mixing watercolour with colour pencils. And this capybara just looks so refined and cute teehee. :) Keep up the work, you're doing great! ♡♡♡
Thank you so much, this is so sweet ❤️ i plan on trying to expand my technique to gouache aswell but let's see how that works out lol - pretty tricky medium!!
Lovely ❤ I swear I keep clicking your videos because they look so great and catchy. Then I'm pleasantly surprised that it's not just a random creator 😂
Leave her alone. If you don’t like it you can press the mute button or click off the video, because other people liked hearing what she had to say. Stop trying to dictate other people’s business because of your religious views (the other comment you left says it all) ….ps: ‘taking the lords name in vain’ was never about saying ‘god damn’ as much as it is about not invoking god as a reason to justify your own misdeeds…for example; you’ve used your faith to justify saying something unnecessarily mean to another person, THAT is taking the lords name in vain and it’s not loving thy neighbour or practicing forgiveness either. it is a really good message and it can be applied to more than just god if you change the lords name to the name of whatever it is a person is invoking/using as an excuse to do a bad thing. Understand your gospel before preaching it please or you’ll make it look bad as well as yourself and worse you’ll upset others who are innocently trying to live their own lives. Something something forgiveness and love thy neighbour. Peace out.
I am feeling very sad right now! I am almost 36 and have spent the last 20 years working very hard. During 2020, I was unemployed and it felt so nice. I was making art every day. I was exercising and cooking every day. I was healthy and happy. It made me rethink the things that matter most to me. I am deep in debt from art school and do not even have a job doing art. I love my job (it is a normal corporate job), but I feel like I am not making enough to live. Every time I feel comfortable, the prices go up on everything and it forces me to look for something else. Right now, I am struggling emotionally because I may get a new better paying job soon, but it is far from home and it will take so much time out of my life. I am trying to keep my hope that it is only temporary. This video meant a lot to me.
Why do you have to use my Lord's name to curse that's so disrespectful siruriusly I don't understand how people have no shame to just speak how ever they want yet act like your such a good person
Thinking about dedicating 8-9 hours a day 5 days a week of my life to something just to make money, no matter how much, is devastating. I have panic attacks when I think about the fact that I need to work wether it’s something I like or not for the next 40 years. Just absolutely devastating
sometimes I feel like this too...but I am trying to take it one day at a time and soak in the moments that I enjoy daily, no matter how small they are - you got this!
I am literally going through the same phase right now. On paper, my job seems perfect and actually quite nice with great people, but how could I come to terms with dedicating such a large portion of my life to it? Why do people act like this is ok? I got my job, but now what?
This!!!! It’s so difficult having a 9-5 job and coming in every single day to give up 9 hours of the day to a corporation and not be able to balance or incorporate art or any kind of passion or hobby into that small window of time within the day. It’s extremely frustrating and endless.
I feel you!!! I've been trying different approaches to 'buying' more time for my art (doing it during lunch breaks, in the morning, shortening commute) but I still feel like I've got MILES to go before I strike a balance :/
YEAH... I think that's part of growing up, a bad one by the way. From now own, you'll probably begin a process of rethinking your basic priorities, but at the same time you'll probably resign in some basic aspects at that, because the truth is that enduring things like a sh*tty job, are the only way we have to maintain our basic life, and also to support ourselves in doing what we really love. But time helps with consiliating this feelings and finding our own way in that messy system.
Thank you for this. I struggled the most with deciding to pursue art instead of working in a traditional office job-I had a lot of loved ones tell me that I wasn't making a wise decision with my life because I wouldn't have the "security of a job" to keep me from being "poor". I'm sure it would have been wise to go down the "safe" path, but after working nearly four years for a corporation who gave the bare minimum of bonuses, benefits, and decent working conditions to employees, I took a dive-I quit my job and finally committed myself to working on my art and writing. It was something I abandoned in high school because I fell hard for the propaganda of "success" in non-creative career fields, which I have since regretted. I would have taken more art classes if I had not allowed my fears of being "another starving artist" control me. I can't say whether or not I will find success in my artistic endeavors, since I'm still trying to get better at it to make up for lost time. But I definitely feel more at peace with my decision the more I create with my art and writing. I wish you success in your endeavors, too-your painting is incredible!
Who was it that fed you the line about "this is what you should do?" Why did you listen to them? Why are you still there? Find something else. Some of my most creative points (I write & draw) were when I was working full time & especially when I went to college for my 2d degree full time, while working full time. I had so many ideas coming out of my head I didn't know what to do. So I wrote them all down & made plenty of sketches. Now I am retired, in the traditional sense, & I am slowly working through my lists. I have never been concerned with being happy, but rather to live a vital life. Think about what you want out of life (not what you want to do as a profession) & then make the moves towards those goals. Good luck & I wish you well.
Thank you for this piece of advice! Yeah, looking back I think that listening to people dictating my path was just me being younger and putting trust into adults, and part me just denying my passion.
