Ohhhh so glad to see a Lindsay Sat Chat again. I lost everything in my 1st floor apt. During Helene And then I also survived Milton. I saved 99% of my fav art supplies. So the healing has begun. I’m tough, I will be ok. I’m just now trying to get back into a routine and that includes all Lindsay videos!❤❤❤❤ I will have a permanent home on Nov 8.

Anyone who cares about slave labour, the environment and their own health, should stay well clear of Temu. There are numerous articles about all this online, including the large amount of toxic chemicals in art materials, clothing and even shoes ! Also, the products are badly made and often cheap knock offs of other peoples designs. They have even been using images from artists websites to sell products without payment or permission. When something is so cheap, there is always a reason for that and it is never a good one. Thanks for a great Sat chat as always Lindsay and great to hear your father is back home.❤

@thefrugalcrafter 4 дня назад

Good points!

@vxinos 3 дня назад

Very good point about. I personally havent shopped at Temu or other online shopping platforms like that. I have to admit Ive been tempted because of their low prices and the one time i tried placing an order for some products on only what I felt I needed or wanted it wouldn’t let me complete it unless I added more stuff to get the discounted price. Since I want to avoid overconsumption or over consumerism I cancelled the order because I refuse to add products to my cart just because and they end up in the trash bin

@rosemarypetersen143 4 дня назад

You are so right about these shopping outlets that lower prices below cost, put others out of business and eventually they're out too. I am a retailer and a few yrs ago worked. for privately owned nice dept store - but they started pricing high and then major % off sales - so low we employees couldn't pass up the deal but I knew not good. I had my own kitchen store 12 yrs. Had to take in $5000 mo just to pay employees and $2700 mo rent before even getting in any merchandise. None of us there had these ridiculous sales and no one went broke or overcharged. I enjoyed that life most of any of my 84 years!

Hey Lindsay, thank you doe sharing. you look fine. I have been so busy with studio work and my nursing profession. I am not sure how it is in the United States but we had a raise in Covid cases lately but luckily it is was more like a flu than serious. I am so thankful for my art, it kept me ground with the craziness at work. Art wise i am had been loving using Cra-Z-Art washable watercolour paints. It is really cheap paints but they are popular in my country I can get it everywhere. It is very hard to purchase professional watercolour paints locally in the country of Belize. All of mines are imported in. I watched some other art youtubers Cra-Z-Art review they called it "crap paints:, but it is kind of funny because those are paints that are readily available to me in Belize. If I would listened to them it would probably discourage me from doing watercolour art because all i have are "crap paints". What do you think of that, because people in more developed countries can go to their local stores and get better paints but I can't. Do you think art youtubers should buy products they don't like just to talk bad about it?

@thefrugalcrafter 4 дня назад

There was a time when salty reviews were very popular. I'm not one to tell anyone what to do but if someone is constantly trashing products, I just won't watch them. Same if a creator overhypes stuff. I curate my feed to channels that inform and inspire. I'm glad you like those paints! Prang is good to if you can get them!

The lighting looks good. No problem with it at all. Your experiment with the oil paints and pastels sounds really interesting. I was wondering how you melted them and never would have thought of the heat tool, but that's a great idea. I'm so glad your dad was able to go home. I've never ordered from Temu, but I know some have had good results with them for budget guitars and parts. I suppose it depends on what you're getting. I had a good week. My birthday was a couple of days ago so I'm thankful for that. We went for a drive to look at the leaves today, but not a whole lot of them have changed yet so we'll do it again later next week. Nice to get out of the house for awhile. I hope you have a great week. Thanks for another good Sat Chat.

I'm with you Lindsay on the temu thing, it is weird. I accidentally hit one of their ads, wasn't trying to and yeah the constant flashing lights etc. and I usually just use the back up key on my phone to get out of the ad, and it's like it won't let you out. So I just usually shut everything on my phone screen down and do a restart on my phone. Very very weird and annoying. If I get the chance to shop something you've reviewed, I'd rather just use your affiliate links. So very glad you're Dad is back home now. I'm sure he'll recover faster being with his family than at a hospital. Ohh, by the way, you are the prettiest sketchy hobo I've ever seen. 😊 Love and hugs. Take care and God bless you and your family. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas P. S. Your lighting is perfect.

I have thought about making the oil paint sticks, because I don't enjoy oil pastels, I have a lot of those...don't know why, but I only have a small amount of oil paint. So I'm afraid to dot it...now I might, I don't use either anyhow..nothing to lose and I love making a big creative mess.

I will do a video ig mine work well. I think the paintvstiks are denser because it takes 2 oil pastels and the equivalent of one pastel of oil paint to male one of these sticks so it will use up some product.

I actually called Michael's and reported it, but I never heard anything back from them and still had the issue the next time I tried. So I'm going to try again for your next class and see how it goes. I actually ordered the Derwent graphitint pencils on Amazon 40% off and got them yesterday. I watched a couple of videos on them so I could learn more about them. I am going to test them out this week to see what I can do with them.

One way I'm trying to discipline myself with spending: There are some pricey new tools I want...like a new camera...the newer Sizzix Switch electronic die cutting machine AND the new Sizzix Stamp & Stencil tool, and the Logan 450 mat cutting tool. I am holding off with purchasing any one of these new gadgets, nice though they be, until I can sell some other valuable tools & gadgets that are sittings round unused. Then I'll put that money toward the new stuff. If I keep buying new things and still keep the older yet still valuable tools too, I'll just feel like I'm being excessively wasteful.,So better to sell some things and then "pay it forward" towards getting the new things!

Temu is such a frustrating shopping experience for me. I don't want to spin a wheel and have a timer ticking to get a certain 'deal' only to find out there is a minimum spend to get said deal so I'd have to fill my cart with $35 worth of suggested junk to get the small thing I originally came for.. it sucks you in! I just want the price to be the price, if there is a sale or coupon, that is one thing, but their rushed gambling type experience is really not for me and it does feel unethical with how unclear the game rules are in the moment. Rant over, lol! Always enjoy your sat chats! You look beautiful in this lighting and the previous lighting so I say go with whichever you prefer.

Hey Lindsay, great sat chat. I’m glad your dad is back home and doing well. Temu, I know what you mean. Even shady cheap products have exploded on Amazon too, the only difference is your credit card is in good hands, and refunds and returns are easier. I have heard though that US regulatory wip is about to crack on them and few others like SHEIN. Not throwing shade on anyone who buy from any of the places. I myself have bought things from questionable places, lol but always in cash. I have also realized over the years that it all depends on what do you want the thing for. If you want it to last or it’s something you’re going to consume in any way, I’ll wait, save and go for the right thing. If it’s welcome mat outside, then made in china is fine 😅

Have you considered doing classes on Craftsy? Be curious to see the difference on platforms, including Skillshare, to know the difference.

I'm working today, so that's fun lol and nice to see ya! 👀

@thefrugalcrafter 4 дня назад

I did my first class on Craftsy. I don't think they are filming any more classes, tho. They have been sold 3 times since I filmed mine. It was a great experience, but I like being on a platform I control. Skillshare and udemy are not great for teachers unless you don't have a following and need their audience, but even then, you don't make much, and it's worse now with other changes. Parka Blogs did a review of the platform a couple of years ago. The worst things about those platforms is that you can't get info on people who are taking your class, so there is no way to reach out to your customers. It's like youtube in that way, and that is frustrating enough.

I’m with you on Temu….it just feels “off” to me for things. I have friends who are almost addicted to it and love it but I prefer to not support it. Also your lighting looks good today,

@elyselaforest7700 3 дня назад

Lighting looks great. You always look good but very pale. This lighting is softer and more attractive. 👍

Hi Lindsay! No, the video doesn't look too dark.. looks fine to me. I don't like TEMU... mainly because they've set it up where you must buy using your phone app (instead of on a computer) if you want the lowest prices! I don't want them having access to my to my personal info. So, I don't buy from them. I am surprised that YT would be affiliated with them. TFS 💕

That's what shocked me, it gives it legitimacy and you think thevtemu hauls are bad now, think of how many there will be when greater can link to temu for 8% commission. Amazon only pays 3%. I can see many youtubers promoting temu aggressively now.

Sounds like me! I always want to buy more and need to use what I have! Yikes!

Sorry Lyndsey, I got another question Which oil pastel are the best sennelier or caran d’ache

@thefrugalcrafter 2 дня назад

They both are fabulous, it just depends on what you prefer. If you live in a warm climate I'd go with caran dache because they are firmer. Sennelier are lipstick soft. I prefer caran dache even though it gets cold here because I have a heavier hand. They are equally as good tho.

I agree. Your lighting looks great 👍 love your sat chats! They always make me think. I bought a few of the document holders at dollar tree to store my watercolor paintings from your 30 days class. They worked great for that. Also on Temu, they’re using the same tactic Jeff bozos did when he undercut bookstores and so many closed. I’ve shopped on Temu in the past and not hating on anyone who does. Some people would have to work an entire day (think sub minimum wage. In Idaho, a waitress told us her wage was around $3/hr.) just to buy one new release stamp set, so a dramatic price reduction would be difficult to pass on. The market is hurt when those who always purchased the products jump ship and buy from Wish, Temu, Ally express (or whatever the name is) etc

@thefrugalcrafter 4 дня назад

Good point, many buyers would not have bought it otherwise.

Ok my last comment....China businesses: I decided I'm going back to using Adobe (Premiere Rush) for my video editing software instead of Filmora Wondershare. The reason is that 1) I don't think Filmora is being very transparent about their plans & subscriptions (for longtime paid users) In fact, I think they're purposely making things confusing. And 2) I just noticed today that they are Chinese owned. Nothing against the Chinese people & culture...it's the issues of privacy and data security by the Chinese gov that I'm concerned about. That's the same reason I never signed up for TikTok. In fact, the Biden administration (on likely reliable intelligence) tried to ban TikTok use in the U.S. But there was such an outcry of protest by American TikTok users that it never happened. But that doesn't mean it shouldn't be banned.Just that maybe it hasn't gotten SO bad, yet, I don't know.

I'm a Canadian who has worked at Michaels and I don't know what the problem is, specifically, but what I have found is that it's generally true that Michaels is just bad at computer things.

You are too young to worry about using up all of your art supplies in your lifetime. Im staring to stress about all of the stuff I have. I need to get painting and drawing. I love your excitement when you do something new! Glad that your Dad is home.

Wondering if you put the Walmart link for Sennelier, or if youtube did it.

@thefrugalcrafter День назад

I did it because the price was a good as blick for the larger 6 stick set. I linked blick in the description because they sell the 1/2 stick sets that are more affordable.

I'm not sure about this idea, and if you're not like me and save everything, you might would have to buy some. Could chapstick tubes work? They are twistable and you wouldn't to use type and they wouldn't be melting in your hands. They make chapstick tube in a variety of sizes now. It was just the first thing that came to my mind. It sounds like a fun project. However, I'm not into anything that makes a mess so I haven't personally gone down the art rabbit hole of pastels and oils. I have had my eye on neo 2 water soluble crayons, but the price and use what I have keeps holding me back from buying them!

@thefrugalcrafter День назад

I think they would be too small. I've made a bunch and I am going to play with the sticks and see how they preform.
