Hi! I’m Helen, an artist and maker, sharing my love of art and crafts and anything hand made!
This channel is about enjoying the process of making - art and craft, using easy-to-find, often recycled and found materials.
Sharing the things I'm learning on my art journey and embracing the (often) wonky.
Let's create together and celebrate every imperfect, quirky step along the way!
If you would like to see more, please come over to my other channel @outandaboutwithHelen and take a stroll out in nature with me!

Making Mini Grab and Go Sketchbooks! Artists who draw on paper ephemera. Drawing en plein air
I show you how I make the mini sketchbooks that I’m now using for, on the go, en plein air drawings. Grab and go sketchbooks from scrap papers.
I started using these mini sketchbooks recently and they have really helped me to draw on the go. Pocket sized, light and easy to use for quick sketches with no fear of the blank page or worries of messing up. Scrappy Sketchbooks for Scrappy Drawings! What’s not to love? Wobbly drawings! Yay!
I chat about some ‘real’ artist who have used backs of envelopes and ephemera to draw on. And I show you some of my sketches on my walk!
Thanks for dropping by 😃

ABOUT
Hi! I’m Helen, a UK creative with a love of art, crafts, photography, walking in nature and running. On this channel I offer ideas for easy art and craft - a window into my world of art, of making, of up-cycling and experimenting with materials and processes.
Life is about the journey, I’m hoping you will join me on my creative one and maybe we can inspire each other along the way.

I use 100 proof vodka to preserve. I have some I made 2018 no mold! Use a glass nib, a bamboo pen, or stainless steel nib. Black walnut ink will corrode regular metal nibs. I'm saving my red onion skins til I get enough to make a small batch of ink thanks to you!
Brilliant. thank you so much for that. I'll add it to my notes for next time! :) Let me know how you get on with the onion skins!! :)
Do you draw with homemade inks? Which ones have you tried? Let me know :)
I make Black Walnut ink and am pouring some in a jar to share with a friend. I am curious about the onion skin ink!
Brilliant! I've just made my first walnut ink - video uploading right now. I've lots to learn but it's all good fun!
@@helenhoughton I just watched! Great!!! I appreciate your enthusiasm!
@@michelemarchesani5139 awww thank you :)
Have you had a go at making onion skin ink? I want to try walnuts in the autumn. What other inks are good to make? Let me know. 🙂
That's absolutely brilliant! Thank you. I use a lot of notebooks but would love not to have to spend money buying them! I work in offices where there's a lot of mail coming in and I felt it was a shame that the envelopes were being thrown away so just now I searched 'how to make notebooks out of envelopes and hey presto! your video! Can't wait to start gathering envelopes to make notebooks.
Thank you for your message. I'm really happy you liked the video. I love an envelope! Happy making! 😃
