So glad you liked it! Thank you!

Had to try it lol! Thank you!

I actually didn’t not film that part originally for UA-cam but Instagram and can’t find the footage… but I will make one! It’s actually very easy. You add a little coffee to a pan and toss in some metal that will rust. Open up a paper bag and sit it right in the bottom of the pan on whatever side you want. The liquid “crawls” up the side. You’ll need to leave it a few days. It will get really dark the more metal you add. (Nails work amazing) I leave or check and turn if needed. That’s it. Super easy. You can’t control the results so it’s a surprise 😄

Me, too! Lol! I totally forgot I did that 😂 Pretty sure it was because my youngest spilt a box of dried spaghetti and I felt so guilty tossing them so bagged them up for “art purposes” 🙌😂

Thank you!

Printmaking is magic 😄

I try ☺️

😄🙌

🙌 Mine, too! 😄

I just used as is and it did totally fine. This is acrylic paint and I’ve also used gouache on it as well 😄 Have not tried watercolor but I use an old teacup and saucer for that… flea market find. The older I get the more I really enjoy the process so I have all kinds of doo dads for fun paint palettes depending on what media I use. So much more fun!

@@artwithchristine Absolutely agree! It goes to show that you don't really need all the fancy expensive stuff to paint. Artists are very resourceful people!

Well said! 🙌

So very glad you enjoyed it! Be blessed!

Thank you! Oh of course! I have to laugh and enjoy the journey or why make stuff? Used to be so perfectionistic and it’s been way more successful now that I let go and just go for it 🙌

Thank you! My kids say I draw too many eyeballs 😂

Had to sell a huge one I drew on our living room wall because it scared my kids 😳

Me, too! It’s my art therapy! So easy to get lost in the process 🙌 Thank you!

Thank you so much! I zone out and the process of drawing takes over. It’s my happy place 😄

Thank you for the encouragement! 😄

Thank you for always cheering me on!

Thank you so much! ☺️

Thank you! Given to a history buff who loves to draw 😄

Thank you so much! He is really into history, maps, and drawing 😄

Technically it’s rust FROM metal lol! Reaction coffee has with it is amazing! 😄

Thanks! ☺️

Thank you! It was hard to give away! Lol!

You are right! The designs are scratched in! You can feel it when running your fingers across the surface- that’s what will catch the ink for printing 😄. Some students think the classes are -lol!

Jay would be with me 24/7 if he could 😂

Thanks! 🙏

I haven’t, but worth a shot! Matte should help grab the pen. Please let me know how it goes!

If it wants to stick to the surface it’s drying on you could slide some parchment paper underneath just in case! Usually it seems ok just coating one side at a time 😄

@@artwithchristine thanks! 😀

I couldn’t resist. It’s about clean energy. Worked great with the idea of upcycling 😄

It wasn’t pretty at first but in about a month it didn’t look too bad and in a few months it felt almost normal… and in a year it feels natural with my left hand (I’m right handed).. you are inspiring me to make a how to video! How I learned was to take a photo of typed out letters and numbers and just flipped it mirror image. Then I practiced “drawing” the letters and numbers. It looked awful at first. Like a little kid learning to write. I printed the photo out and would trace the letters and numbers over and over and then began working on sentences. It’s not a fast process, but I worked at it about 10-20 min a day max and it grew! Highly recommend! You’ll feel like Leonardo da Vinci! 🙌

In a year it felt natural.. but now it’s almost over 2 years and it’s seriously helped me with drawing with my non-dominant hand as well! Please try it! 😄

@artwithchristine that's not a long time at all! I love mirror writing for my journals and also i get worried about people reading my therapy journals and shadow work journals so I've been devoloping this skill everyday and every time I write and the uncomfortable part is awkward feeling using the left hand lol but the result is fun 😁

I completely relate! When I caught my oldest reading my journal it inspired me to learn!! Amazing how necessity inspires 🙌

That awkward feeling has gotten better over time! Began keeping a tiny sketchbook/journal in my purse so whenever we have to wait somewhere or in line it gets pulled out hehe! 🤭

Thank you, but it’s more of seriously persistent lol!!! Lots of this stuff is trial and error and following those “happy accidents” 😄🙌

@artwithchristine a true master of trusting the process 🍀

That’s the most stress free way to go! Lol! Like working a puzzle 🧩

This made me laugh. 😂Thank you!!! 😄

That book of your mom’s is a precious keepsake! I have one kid just beginning college and one still in high school and they’ve been great sports with all the piles of projects.😂 Thank you for the encouragement! Creativity blooms in many ways and your beautiful words made me tear up! I bet taking a moment you will see things in your daily life that result from your creativity blooming! Just a hunch from working with so many in class the last 6 years. The creativity is there! Sometimes it takes others to help you see it. Be blessed!

Thought of you when I recorded my voiceover this morning! Jay is doing great and happily crunching his breakfast while I try to record. LOL! I really hope that you give these ideas a try! You'll find that fearlessness brings so much freedom! I love taking the often overlooked and transforming them and while trying to keep it budget friendly as possible. Hope you have fun and I'd love to hear how it goes!

I’ll definitely keep that in mind 🙌

It’s become the norm when on road trips when we stop I always grab an extra map lol! Thank you for taking the time to watch!

Most welcome! So glad it helps!

Thank you! Brain dump doodles 😄

My family was, too! 😂

It was an accidental happy and rolled with it and now it’s a technique I use often! 🙌

Zero stress! Lol! How we roll in my art classes 🙌 you the water to coffee ratio and also allowing paper to be partially out of the coffee so it “crawls” up. 😄 Have fun!

Thanks so much!

Thank you for the support! And so glad you like it!

Thank you so much! Was looking for wood alternatives since I don’t have access to a saw 😄

Would love to know how it goes! It’s trial and error and there will be happy accidents 😄🙌

Thank you for the encouragement!

Thank you so much! They loved it!

Definitely a method I’ll use again! Thank you! 😄

Thank you for the encouragement! I love to experiment with supplies. Aiming to do how tos on all these!

Perhaps 😂

I got carried away 😂
