Thank YOU for your energy today. Your studio is looking so wonderful! I'd love to see more art journaling videos. Thanks for asking. Sending love and soft hugs back to you.
I've been really enjoying your videos! I'd love to see more videos of your making your collages in your art journals. I also love when you talk about your life as an artist and your process.
I'd also love to hear about the places you've lived when you were home was the van. It would be lovely to hear your thoughts on the cultures, art, and what you've learned from these places. Perhaps starting with your favorites!
I remember in an older video that you made you said that you needed to declutter your wardrobe. I would actually love to see that as a video! It would be fun to see the clothing that you own, what you like, what you no longer like, etc. I hope that you have a great week and that your energy started to return as Spring approaches.
Good Morning to you Wendy, Just wanted you to know how helpful and inspiring your videos have been to me over the last few years. Tough times, but it's helpful to see your videos and some of the issues you struggle with, it gives me hope in that things will all get worked out, we just have to keep our lights shining bright as you often say. So Thank you so very much for keeping me company in some tough times. Love having coffee with you. Cheers to you my friend.
All these years we have been friends it’s just been such an honor watching your journey unfold and to see your dream blossom just makes my heart explode with so much joy! Thank you for a front row seat ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Loved your ride in. I’d like to see more of your town of Glastonbury, your surrounding area. Enjoy following you and your art practice. You are a sweetheart. ❤️
At 20 mins 19 seconds, right after the Lotus is a drawing of yours that has had me intrigued ever since I first saw her. I would swear it is you! And she is incredibly beautiful!
I'm not "full of beans " either. Low energy, sleepy at times, drinking lots of tea, cuddling with cat, and reading magazines. I'm really tired as well. Take care and look for the sun. !
I’ve struggled with low iron, depression, etc for years. It’s nice to hear that others require a little bit of extra self-care. Most people don’t understand.
Especially here in the U.S. The people have to work soooo hard just to stay afloat. 2-3 jobs with no health care or vacation pay. It is a treat to have days off.
Aloha! I watched your video today and I enjoyed having coffee with you. I love the peacefulness of starting your day, and how you take your time, doing what needs to be done. I’m 63 yrs old, and I do my house chores, or grocery shopping when I have enough energy, and I don’t rush in everything that has to be done! Ty for sharing your lives!
If people are constantly asking for art journal videos, it only makes sense to keep them on patreon where people have to pay to see them. This is 2021, no need to starve for your art anymore.
I think I saw some of your older paintings that I’d like prints of. I’ve added a spark to my day. My youngest daughters 46th birthday. Just finished her pineapple upside down cake. Thank you for sharing your day with us. Peace, Love and Light 🦋💗✨
You are an amazing artist and human being, I appreciate your authenticity and courage to share your journey through the good days and the bad days. You are an inspiration to all who are struggling. You remind us all that some days, it is okay to not be okay. Hugs!
As I get older I tend to lose things or make a list and then forget or lose the list. I recently found an app on my phone where you can make lists. It's been a life saver. So anytime I have an idea or need to jot down a grocery item I have a place to go now and no more excuses for being forgetful. So enjoyed this video. Watched it late at night while sipping some hot chocolate. Perfect ending to a rather crazy day.
I love your videos, Wendy. Your spirit really shines bright in all that you do. I am inspired to work on my art and journaling again, thanks to you. Just got my parcel yesterday from the shop - the items are lovely, but my favorite piece is the love you and James put into all you do. See you soon for tea and conversation.
For your paintings where do you get your inspiration/ideas from? Would love to see something on the process of starting a fresh painting. Happy Friday x
Yikes you’re driving on the wrong side of the road..lol. Well, here in America you would be.. love this vlog. Inspired. Have a beautiful weekend lovely.
My art is writing. I do love journaling though (with words) and I find your videos very uplifting and inspirational. Your work is beautiful and I have learned so much from your work philosophy and great attitude. Thank you so much for sharing.
I've been thinking about selling my paintings on Esty, could you maybe make a advice video about that? Pros, cons, how to price, that kind of thing? Hope you're having a good day
Hello Wendy and everyone 👋. Sending soft hugs back. There is always time for another coffee/tea.😁.A cup of coffee and some Art Journaling with you would be great.I love to see clips when you go for walks and seeing the Tor brings back happy memories. I have read some of the comments and agree that seeing you work on a painting, start to finish would be lovely to watch . I love your work and I'm interested in seeing how you paint those beautiful layering effects for your backgrounds. Hope you have a good week . Hopefully the Springtime will replenish our energies .Take ❤ care. Il look forward to newt weeks video 🙏🧚♀️💕☕
As a fellow silver sister I have to say that your hair and hairstyles always look so lovely! Could you maybe do a video about your haircare? I know it's not art related but maybe a sneaky vlog in between? 😉
Very glad to have found you, thanks for showing up...it is hard with everything that is happening to have any energy. Here in Canada still so cold and dreary. Stay beautiful.. Hi James
Greetings from Far Northern California USA 💜 I adore all that you post, to be honest. I create along with you or work on my own creative business and journey. It's nice to be a part of your lovely Tribe 💜
I took a Feng Shui course years ago in Ardmore, PA, U S. and it taught me so much. I did implement some of the ideas, and I think it did work. It’s like coming into your house everyday and passing by a table that has become a dumping ground. Hate it. What a difference it made eliminating that problem. Your artwork is amazing and unique. Beautiful work.
I would love for you to show how you color match for prints and tell us where you get your shipping supplies. Loving the nature walks you post. So beautiful.
Since the book/movie Nomadland is quite delightful to me and many others,could you talk about your adventures on the road,and maybe photos too?....and drawings and writing? I love hearing people's life stories!💃
Loved the part at the beginning where you "leap and bound" through the woods like a pixie, lol. That red hat is epic!!!! Little Red Riding Hood at your service, hihi. So, I would really enjoy more videos about art journaling, of course, ;-) but what I also would loooove to see, is a more privat Wendy, let`s say in "A day with Wendy at home." A Wendy Wellness Day :-) A "How I pamper myself" day or "what I eat and cook for myself" day, a "what I wear - raid my closet" day. You know, when you really like a person, I think it is so interesting to see, how that person lives, does the little, common things in life. It is curiousity for the fellow human beeing and also learning new things by watching how others pursue their lifes which makes it so interesting. :-)
Hahha! Art journaling coming up !!! Already on the list!! I love all your ideas too, so creative and yes, I completely get the watching the ordinary things things... xxxxx Thank you for this. x
@@theunexpectedgypsy You are welcome beautiful soal :-) Tipp against chronic tiredness: Might want to check your iron levels and B12. :-) It did wonders for me to increase my B12 and iron intake. There is vegan B12 out there to buy (Amazon) and I completely managed my anemia by using dates, chia seeds and parsley in my diet on a daily basis. Huggs from Rose Cottage, Schurwald Forrest.
@@christinaheesakacowden-wut3809, I was thinking of vitamin D for our Gypsy. I live in cloudy Oregon and taking vitamin D is a necessity not only for your physical health but for mental mood health.
Since discovering your channel I have rediscovered my own love of art. I love watching you work and applying the same techniques and ideas. I have never had a lesson so I am learning so much from you. I vote for more art journaling. Thank you, from Australia
Having my afternoon coffee while watching this, after having just placed an order from your shop! So excited!! Everything looks so lovely! Was that Glastonbury Tor in the background while you were driving to work? Swoon!! lol I love your videos...they are like the calm in a storm, and so very appreciated! I love your vlogs, things about your scrapbooking, books you love, decks you use, walkabouts Glastonbury, favourite things, artists that have inspired you or that you just really love, pretty much anything! I am easy to please!!! xxx
Forgot to Say, that I Never used to take a coffee AT 4 o'clock but this winter i have ! I think it's something to Do with what is going on worldwide , the stress of the pandemic and the changes we've all been facing.... It's certainly not easy
Hi Wendy! You always make me smile & laugh! I loved it when you asked "Should I have an emergency coffee?" The answer to that is always a definite YES :-) Sending you lots of love xoxo
Self motivation is something that we all encounter and when our energy levels are low it is tough to get to grips with it,there is no doubt about it what wee have had to endure these past few months has affected our bodies and we are all mentally and physically drained of our usual energy.Your idea of planning your working day is a good one even though sometimes it does not always go to plan but we can but try.Your drive to the studio seems a fair distance all something to factor into your day as it is all time out of your productive day,love your beautiful work you can feel the love that has gone into it.
Do the building owners give a rent credit for five days with no heat? Also, do they provide you with small space heaters so that you can use the studios despite radiator failure? Hope so!
Just found you and I do enjoy my coffee in the new day watching you is so relaxing! Love seeing Im not the only one drawing and feeling like I'm learning new stuff every day from you! Thank you!💝
I love the driving chats. Visiting the UK is on my bucket list! The green fields and budding trees are so inspiring. We still have snow on the ground here in the NE of US. You do a super job modeling a way to respect and listen to your body. Thanks for that. I’d love to hear about where you find inspiration for all your lovely whimsical women and fairy ladies.
Blessings Wendy, ta for another lovely chat! It's Sat morning in Australia and I am always very slow to get going this time every week after my long busy 9-5 day job. Its frustrating because weekends are my most creative time! So many projects and lovely art supplies to play with but tired fog gets in the way. I would love to see some vlogs on your getting started process, your inspo and beginnings especially faces. Hugs!
Watching this currently! I love all your videos, and I was looking forward to the new video today! it is such a lovely thing to look forward too! All the best to your family xx
Your area looks quite like northwest lower Michigan, where I live. I am surrounded by huge sand dunes, and bluffs leading down to the big lake. I'm about a quarter mile in from the beach, but it's a circuitous mile downhill to get there. I have long, severe winters to endure. It's "thermals top to toe" here, too. Just now, beginning of April, the light is finally increasing. You are keeping me inspired to work in the studio; I am so very grateful. Love your new mug, and you are cute as a button. Original drawings, yes, please! Now, rest. XO
Wow...LOVE all your new stickers and art pieces xx I'd love to see Pandora's Box as stickers & prints 😘🌈 Also 'Love myself' painting on the back would make great stickers and prints xx YES YES YES to all of the above lol Love your Light Wendy, keep shining beautiful friend 💫💖💫 xxx
Hi Wendy, I’m only 8 and a half minutes into your video but I had to mention the orb activity going on behind you in your car chat the first 2 to 3 mins plus of your chat! 😯😲 I don’t know if you noticed if you watched this back but wow! It could be dust particles and the sun 🤔 maybe I don’t know?! I shall watch the rest of this now haha just had to say 😄❤️ love your channel 😊❤️💖🌼🌻💐xxx
I just wanted to thank you for such great content. I have been watching in awe for quite a while now and you have given me the courage to start my own Artist vlogs. Just uploaded my first today and it was so fun to create and express myself on the internet. Always a bit scary at first but you really encouraged me through your wonderful videos!!
About heating- I have the same problem, that my fingers quickly gets white frozen, if I’m a bit of cold. And in my studio I haven’t got any heating at all- when I come in, my water in the bucket is solid frozen, and You can see the breathing mist) . But what I discovered and maybe it will help You- if You put this little heater, that kind they sell everywhere in The UK, which glows red few seconds after turning on, (can’t remember how You call them) . So if You put it on the floor to keep the feet warm - it really helps! It was a live saver discovery for me) as long as You feet are nice and cozy, ( in my case like in burning hell) You fingers are fine! And also, what I’m noticed- in the cold the brain works differently... You may came up with an extraordinary ideas) Take care, hugs and kisses 😘
I know I'm way past the time of this video, but just a thought if you happen to see this note. We used to visit our grandparents with our small children and they kept the house super cold. So we started keeping a very small heater in the trunk of our van for times like these. Just a small fan style heater that pulls little electricity has never bothered anyone wherever we went.
Hi Wendy. Sounds like me. If not one thing ... Then another🤔 Please understand if you will. I'm not one to post. I'm more often taking notes during your "lessons". Or hearing your thoughts as you take your walks or do your morning rituals. I attempt to follow them as they feel great. I love when you chat about life and times there, in England. You are such an incredible soul. I love it. Now off to the studio. Oh how I'd adore spending time there. Taking in the awe of it all. You know, a dear friend went to England and paid large sums of money to spend the entire day learning more about the art of Embroidery. Lunch was served and of course tea. She also had a small sampler Completely finished to bring home with her. Dearest Wendy, I need you to know that, you really do make me feel like I have so much to be grateful for. I love your videos. Even more your artisic talents. Thank You, for sharing this with me through your RU-vid channel and post cards. I can hardly wait until they arrive. Someday I'll own more. Rosa and Guardian angel I've ordered and I will get soul sisters next time perhaps. Earth fairy is lovely! I do like the shiny on the stickers. WOW the canvas of soul sisters is AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL.
Oh yes, having even one of your orriginals would be lovely!! "BOAST" IS DEVINE!! I do have my coffee with you☺️ I love everything about this studio. Mine is very small, but it's happy. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your medium you use to coat on your paintings. I so need to make a final decision for what watercolor paint I want to get. Decisions decisions💞
Love you and your vlogs. Would love to see more art journaling ideas. However please take care of yourself and rest when you can. I know how this feels myself. Take care lovely lady and thank you for another normal, natural, honest vlog 😘😘
It would be great if we had chargers to charge ourselves up when our energy levels are low. Hope you have a nice relaxing weekend. Nice to have another Friday tea break with you :)
As a fellow Raynauds person I, literally, feel your pain. I have fingerless gloves on all year round, plus even with my woolly bootee slippers on my feet are still cold today (18C/64F in my room). The tip of my nose too lol. Love travelling round Somerset with you, esp. as I won't be travelling any more and thank you for renewing my love of journalling and mixed media, plus giving me the courage to revamp my older diaries 😀
Love your honesty about energy levels. Be kind to yourself. We are a year into a pandemic.Thankyou for sharing your art journey. It does help to keep those lights bright.
Love your channel! It brings me happiness, creativity, but mostly inner peace. My soul is smiling. I would absolutely love more of your art journaling. You've art work is amazing. Thanks for sharing your life!
I look forward to Fridays. Thank you for your videos. I would hope for art journaling, but if it's Patron exclusive, I understand. A day with you at home video, as mentioned, would be wonderful. Love the car vlog and scenes of the passing countryside. Looks like some of the backroads here in the US. Have a wonderful weekend Wendy! Hope to see you soon!
I would love to see how you finish a square. What kind of varnish do you use and how many coats go on? Love all your art pieces! Yes! Put them in the shop. Blessings to you and your gypsy heart.
It would be good to hear about books that have been important to you maybe on art or wellness, being an authentic woman, spirituality, creativity, life, or novels and poetry perhaps. Your videos alway uplift me and make me want to live a creative life. Thank you, Wendy
It was so nice to see your route to the studio, Glastonbury is my second home and I saw the changes to the building you're in each time we visited :) we lived about half an hour away from the town for 7 years till 2000 and then moved back to Scotland. Our very good friend lives on Well House Lane so we enjoy breakfast with an incredible view of the Tor when we stay with her, most Julys. Sad not to make it last year, maybe this year, fingers crossed xx
Your pompom hat Wendy really suites you ☺️ Thank you for making the video. I've actually watched it twice now. I accidentally watched it on my Daughter's account yesterday. I feel your tiredness, I really do. I was watching you with your eyes nearly closing & mine where doing the same thing. I never know when it's going to hit as I suffer with ME. Soft squishy hugs. Hope you manage some rest this weekend X X x
I Love your Unexpected Gypsy Sign for your shows! I forget is that one a sticker with the words on it? I love the green glowing shimmery wings. Once again I'm thanking you for all the inspiration! You inspire my creativity, more organizing and giving myself a break. You're reminding me also about relationships and making me think in a positive way about finding an awesome guy again someday.. Thanks from California!
Thank you Terry Ann, xxx It's a canvas and I collaged and painted it! I hope you find a wonderful guy... there are some out there for definite!! xxxx Loads of love x
@@theunexpectedgypsy Thank you, yeah l'm happy alone & I'm happy to feel the inspiration again to try and carefully find someone special when things get safer again. I'm wondering if you made stickers of that one that says The Unexpected Gypsy?
I love the postcards of the girl with the red rose in her hair and the "Soul Sisters" as well.🌹💕 I'm also am having tea(Earl Grey) again with monkfruit sugar and cream. It would have been coffee if I had a taste for it(maybe tomorrow).🍵☕You are doing a spectacular job-keep doing it ,you're doing great!!🤗🥰
Hello from Canada. I watch your video with my Saturday morning coffee and I love the time spent with you. I like your car vlog and seeing the country side. I also like seeing you make art with music and fast forward, like when you varnish the commission. I would like to see bit of art making or journaling presented this way. I guess on Patreon you slow down and give explanation on how to. I am more interested in why you do the art what you feel doing it. It is very soothing to watch. Anyhow, thanks for being there.💜
I just love all the cozy mits you wear... I love the overalls and am inspired to buy at least one... but would love to get back into boho style skirts stuff
Hi Wendy -- I'm so impressed with the way you practice self-care, and with how many wonderful videos you get out to us via RU-vid and Patreon. In spite of tired days, etc, you just keep creating. Thank you for sharing your bright Light with us! As to videos I'd like to see -- I love seeing you create (painting, altering books, journaling), and also I am curious about your weekly schedule. You've mentioned that certain days of the week you take orders to the post, and other days you paint, or package up orders, etc. Do you have a schedule of activities by the days of the week? Xx Big soft hugs to you!
I LIKE YOUR FONT FOR THE UNEXPECTED GYPSY signage....do you know what it is... you are so authentic and self love is resting and moving slow or skipping....but I so love hearing from you! YES I am encouraged to 1. vision-wish-board and journaling journal. one side images and page next to also words of dream life to walk into 2. yes, have your emergency "coffee" or teas etc.... xoxoxoxo
Thanks for your wonderful creative videos and tips! Am a professional painter/illustrator as well, former fashion illustrator in NYC many moons ago. Work with Liquitex acrylic paints, too. Your work reminds me of the paintings of Russian artist Marc Chagall whose mural graces the inside of the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in NYC! Blessed be beautiful creative soul across the "Big Pond"!
I do like the drives through the countryside. Isn't that strange? I have only been 8n England once and that was when I was flying British Airways from France To Greece and had to switch in GATWICK, BUT A FLIGHT CANCELLATION SENT US TO Heathrow by bus. It was a lucky problem to be taken through the English countryside in July! Anyway...I enjoy your car chats!
Such a lovely little video. I say, "if you are tired, then rest and when you are full of beans, then spill them! I loved the intro to this video. I think one thing I really like about some of the videos I watch is that the people in them often live in very different places than I do. Perhaps, one day, when you have a moment, you might make a video of a favorite or interesting place in the area in which you live. That is what I would like to see. :-)
