the cute little figurines kinda remind me of animal crossing characters 😭✨

Crying is a good release from stress but if you continue to feel that upset, it may be time to reevaluate what parts of your job are feeding you and what is draining you. I owned my own business for 20 years and the last few years were just absolutely draining. I had, to all appearances, the good life and I was sincerely grateful for all I had. But I also realized my body and heart were telling me it was time to let go and that is was ok. Sometimes we do things, not forever, but for a season.

these videos calm me down so much, life sucks rn but watching someone working so hard and enjoying her life helps me :)

I think you put a lot of stress on yourself and over plan your days. But I get it I am full time student, a full time worker and I have an internship. But your videos always make me feel comforted that other people have the same feelings of stress and anxiety. Love your creations they are so cute and you can tell you put love and effort into all of your work. Can’t wait for the next video. ❤

it's so soothing when someone is making art. Thank you!

Love it! It's nice to watch these as I work, seeing you be in your element and chillin with making your art.

I feel like this is the cutest little design you’ve made 🥺❤

The redwood tree looks awesome! Nice job! When I was younger and more emotional, something simple that helped me was to remember, "this too will pass". And always keep in mind that a walk is a great way to get out of your head. Also, as females, our hormones and cycles drive us crazy. 😘🥰💞💝

This is such a lovely thing to watch when you want a cosy afternoon and a nice way to escape the uncomfy world that we live in . Thank you for being an amazing person we a massive inspiration 😍

watching stephanie soo while working is so real, and it's always so nice to watch these videos because it brings me so much comfort and joy to watch someone i admire and aspire to be to be very realistic and unlike all the other people on social media

i love that you're also watching stephanie while working! my two current fave content creators in one video, i love it! thanks for another amazing and inspiring video, tammy!!

the tree commission came out beautifully!!

I also crash around 3-4! It always frustrates me cause I just wanna keep working with the energy I had in the morning T-T I also discovered recently that I do best with like, 9-10 hours of sleep which seems like a lot but it just works for me. I feel the most rested if I can get that much sleep!

always enjoy these, and goodness that redwood piece was so gorgeous!! inspiring!!

I love watching your little sculptures come to life 😍

I appreciate your posts! And all your making work, of course, especially editing. The scene turned out so cute!

Really soothes the soul watching ☺ Thank you 💚

Loving these vlogs! Currently 3 am here and I was sculpting too. Perfect to play in the background❤

Big fan of your channel! So nice to see you posting again

Thank you for sharing your story and everything you know.❤

I can’t believe you do all the sculpting, school work, business running, AND edit the RU-vid videos too! Editing RU-vid videos are sooo time consuming so it’s also like how do you do that 🤣 but thanks for being real with the exhaustion and truth behind it even tho it’s a dream job. It’s hard work!

i also love to do stuff while watching and listening to Stephanie! it's so relaxing and i can be productive and support her at the same time

I love how honest and vulnerable you are. Thank you for sharing your process and days as an artist. It’s so inspiring ❤

✨🌸You do such a great job, Ms Cozy…everything is lovingly sculpted and finished. It’s easy to see how much you love your work.💗🌸

Your vlogs are so relaxing to watch. I love the commission piece, so cute. Take care.

You have so much talent, I love watching your vlogs. I want to be as organized as you.❤That commissioned piece is fabulous!

Her voice is so calming it is like I am about to sleep 😴 lol

You talking about having the Sunday scaries and crying a lot that week really made me feel less alone in my emotions. I really working on

aa i enjoyed watching this process so much, as well as the struggles of owning a business while also having to balance school + other stuff. the end result of the commission came out so cute and makes me feel inspired to also start learning how to make stuff out of clay!! i feel like you're starting to become one of my comfort youtubers

You are amazing! I loved the commissioned piece, wow! what a treasure!!! I hope you have a successful and awesome week!

Seeing you make art calms me and inspires me to make some myself even if I’m not the best at clay art ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Such a nice video! I love each one of them, keep it up ♥

I have a five minute journal, too!😄

Yesterday I woke up ill and binge watched all your videos because found you recently and I feel better (I'm sure watching you helped). And now I have one more yey!

I love how real you are, sharing how it's like as an artist and business owner. It's so hard! I relate so much to that feeling of not being fast enough. I get upset at myself for that so often. But you helped me realise how much effort it takes to produce handmade stuff. So I want to be more compassionate towards myself. Thank you for all your comforting videos. I feel less lonely to know that I'm not alone going through similar struggles. Take care

That turned out beautiful. You do such beautiful work

I absolutely love making clay models and you are for sure my favorite RU-vidr😊

So sweet the commission reminds me of Carl & Elle’s love from the movie Up 🥰

I love your vlogs so much! You've inspired me to push myself to be uncomfy in the best way possible, I actually went and talked to an ice cream store about a job application they had! I was super anxious as I've never had a job like that before but I did it and I felt a huge confidence boost after, thank you ❤ sometimes we have to be a bit uncomfy 😌

I’m getting off my bipolar med and it’s making me insanely anxious…your video bring me lots of comfort. Your voice is so calming …Thank you ❤

🥰🥰 its 6.30am in Australia and i just made my morning coffee!!! Couldn't have been more perfect timing. ❤

That commission piece is beautiful! Great job!

This was such a lovely vibe! It was great to hang out with you while you sculpted and I cross stitched

Your artwork is so gorgeous! 😍

I have recently discovered your channel and have been watching your videos as really enjoy them

that commission work ended up looking amazing. I liked it a lot, it looked like a diorama made is style.

Lol when u put the maple syrup in ur coffee it reminded me of elf

I love watching these kinds of vlogs ~ makes me feel less anxious whenever I'm stressed out ; v ;

Yesss much needed comfy video

I'm new to your channel and love your work! I did not know you could make so many different things with polymer clay, so cool! I love the energy you bring to the channel, your calm nature, and the super interesting content. So excited to be here and happy to have subbed. Looking forward to more videos! :)

ahhhh! tammy i love your videos so muchh!!!

Uncomfy, thank you for the comfy video

Tammy! Thank you, I really needed to distract myself from reality a little bit :) I’ll try to do something like the redwood tree characters for a gift, let’s see how it goes cause I usually paint. Take advantage of the fact that we understand you and try to take your time to regulate the activites that might help you; take some time to sculpt for you and not for any orders or comissions ☺️

Great vlog. You're blowing up. Happy for you mate.

i love your videos so much. you inspired me to take on my first clay commission and im so excited. thank you!

I love love love watching these. Also, Stephanie! I love Ms Mango Butt!

the redwood tree sculpt is so amazing!!

I would just like to say,you are so,so, GORGEOUS!!!!!!

Love your videoes!! You've inspired me to start my own buisness!

i lovee your vlogs!

I love this so much wow

Can I just say you look a lot like a fairy in your face and ears. :)

9:28 I became a subscriber. I love your attitude. Keep up the awesome work. It’s very inspiring!

Love your channel

Omg so beautiful figurines ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ you must be tired of sculpting for 4 hrs of course! I love to have a coffee while I’m working too and iced coffee is one of my fav drinks ^^ you are so talented and dedicated, young lady 🙌 I wish you good luck in everything you do ♥️

its soooo prettyyyyyyy

I’m thinking of making Christmas ornaments with bases on them I’m planning on using yarn and hopefully I’ll be able to finish one first as a test and if it turns out okay I’ll take a picture of it and post it on Facebook.

your videos are so inspiring, I'm always amazed at the quality of everything you do! could you make a video on what apps you use to edit your photos and videos? I want to start my own channel, but I'm not sure what to use since there are so many options. thank you for all your hard work! please keep it up and take breaks when you need it

Hi, I'm watching your videos while doing sculpting :)

Sublime!!

I think my order is in that batch. 🥰 I love my bao radish.

As far as being tired all the time, perhaps get your iron levels checked. I was feeling how you said you feel and it turns out my iron levels were very low. Low iron levels has an effect on how well you are able to handle stress as well. Your work is so cute.

It's not your fault Tammy! Your situation is best case scenario, you're not wrong, but how hard we have to work to make ends meet and improve our lives is too much. Especially for creative, sensitive types. We want to be our best, but how can we look after ourselves financially and healthwise at the same time is a really tough question in today's economy. Please don't blame yourself, it's only natural, we aren't supposed to work this hard. I hope you can find the balance you need

That commission is precious 😊

I also want this kind of vlog ❤

Yay 💖💖

Always love your vlogs! 😊 Thanks for recommending new resin, that’s definitely my least favorite part of the process. It seems the more I use resin the goopier it gets. Let me know if you have any resin tips, I’d greatly appreciate them! 😁

Elf Princess 🧝‍♀️👑♥️

OMG you watch Stephanie too 😫💖

Queen over here watching Trisha Paytas and Boze while doing the most comfy things. I am in love with this channel. You're amazing.

Hi ! Can you tell me where to find this beautiful animated wallpaper? There is a desk in the rainy weather background. Thank you so much for your videos makes me feel better ! ✨

Just started my journey on Etsy :) wish me luck!

I came upon your video ( Q&A from your followers) by accident, and I’m so happy I did! I love your sculpting, I’m not familiar with palmer clay- until now, but it seems like such an awesome medium. The redwood tree with the couple came out so good! The idea to use the tin foil for the grass was brilliant! I’m an art lover too, I think I would cease to live if it weren’t in my life. I also registered an LLC. However I have not started a shop yet. My question is, I’m really not sure which medium I’d like to offer for sale! That’s terrible I know, but I don’t want to offer ppl something they just don’t want. What sealed the deal for you with clay? If you cannot get to answering I truly understand. I do hope you see this though and know that you really should be so proud of yourself. Don’t be afraid to write it in your journal, or scream it to the world! You’re a wonderful person, so sweet! 🐈‍⬛❤️👏👏👏🙌

I hv a lil question: idk when or in which or in which video you said it, what did you use to make you the finished pieces this shine? Was it transparent glue or other products ?

How many times a day do you make items for your shop? Is it a busy day?

KEEP PUSHING

I like to put you're videos on in the background while I clean my room or do a little studying, but this time I decided to watch the video. This was the first time I've seen you sculpt a puffercat and laughed at the lobotomy joke. It looks so silly with its head cut off

Could you share what interviews of creatives you watch? You mentioned them at around the 10 min mark

❤

Do you have a video of how you made those logs at 11:30?

Just recently came across your channel. One thing I have always wanted to know is do self-employed people such as yourself pay yourself a salary or do you just from your profits as much as you need on a month to month basis. Greetings from London 🇬🇧

Please check your vitamin D levels!! I feel like you. I got my blood drawn and I’m a literal ZOMBIE!!! It causes so many problems other than just tiredness!! Stay blessed ❤️‍🩹🙏🏻

💌😍

Do you put resin on the bottom of your items ? If you lay your little creations on their backs do you resin the back where they are laying ? Thanks

Hello dear, I have seen you using compressive gloves for hand and wrist pain, do they work well for you ? which one do you use ? I am looking for a good pair because my carpian tunnel and arthritis is becoming too painful when working also if anyone knows of a good brand, I am all ears

how do you make them so durable??

Where do you get your boxes

What is your CPM for your channel? I have an art channel I am focusing on UV resin and started wondering what were you getting per ad.

Me literally listening to RottenMango while watching your video
