Welcome back! When life pulls me away from art/sewing etc. etc. I find cleaning out the draws, cabinets, and closets and letting go of UFOs (un-finished objects) that have a way of making me feel guilty for not finishing, or I have lost interest in. This helps rejuvenate.. also as you stated.. I have a 'short-term memory" and forget what I have. I have followed you and your paint recommends, always appreciated.
Thank you 😊
Amen sister - I’m addicted to art & watercolor supplies - it’s so easy to loose track of all that I have! Thank you for your tips 🙏
Welcome to the ADHD world! I found out I have it last year. It's been very cool to work with my brain instead of against it!
Genius jewelry hack!
Good to see you! Know that we are praying for you.
This solution was just what I was looking for! 🐱
You're awesome.
We love you.
Your solutions are genius. Thank you for sharing them.
Your creative space is enticing!
Your videos are beautiful, soothing and engaging.
Good for you for honoring your own self-care needs, being vulnerable and authentic about it with us and finding a groove that works for you - and changing it as need be.
You're an inspiration to us all - so many struggling with many of the same, related or overlapping issues! ;-)
THANK YOU!
Welcome back!!!! I wondered about you.I hope things are more positive now…..we all need it!!! Start filming my dear, your fans can't wait!!!!!🤩😍🤗🥰
Thanks Jan :)
Yessss. Same here re: having to see stuff. I had to completely re-do how I organized my art supplies, as well. I was using a tool chest to store all my smaller stuff…but then I wasn’t using anything in the drawers, because it was like they didn’t exist if I couldn’t see them. I really like your solution for your watercolor tubes!
Yes - if I can't see it it's gone. My brain just completely erases the item from thought! 😃
Woohoo!! Welcome back! You have been missed ❤ Can't wait to see more of your work 😍
Thanks! 😍 I honestly was pretty nervous to come back after being gone for so long. But as usual ya'll have my back and I greatly appreciate it!
Being organized helps your creativity, nice paint storage. 😀
😊
I take my paints from room to room throughout the day depending on where I feel like being. My system is a little basket where I keep a water jar, watercolour pencils, some brushes and a flower seed catalogue for quick reference ☺️
That's cool! 😃
Same here
Welcome back! Genius organizational hack which I definitely will make use of.
Thanks 😊
This is a great idea! Thanks for sharing ❤
Heyyyy welcome back, so nice to see you again. I used to love watching your videos so much that I still keep on rewatching old videos over and over. They are great inspiration for me... so much that in the end I started my own watercolour UA-cam channel. I'm still learning all the little tricks but it's so much fun. All the best for the future videos.
Aw thanks so much 😃
Genius! 🥰
Nope - just trying to keep my brain from exploding lol 🤯
Love It! I love being able to see my colors so this is wonderful and pretty
Thank you for sharing this video with us, so glad that you are getting back into creating your art and sharing your art journey again. I have found that if you buy professional quality paints and this is true for watercolor & Gouache the best paints re-wet and there is no difference in the color from the tube. I will say my limited use of QoR watercolors leaves me with the impression that they are better out of the tube, but I have not been a huge fan of the paint so I may be wrong. I have purchased many palettes over the years and have finally found thrift store porcelain plates that work for me. I buy them at .99 cents or less, if I drop one no big deal and they are much lighter than commercial porcelain palettes! I have a couple of butcher trays too, they work wonderfully for “fresh” painting projects. Oh, I have spent years deciding on what paints are “the best” and if you ask 50 different artists you might get 50 different answers! My top 3 are #1 DaVinci of California, #2 Schmincke Hordam of Germany, #3 A. Gallo from Italy. The last is a handmade paint and a bit pricey if you want a “bigger brand” I would put Sennelier as a #3 alternate choice! I have mostly DaVinci paints in my palettes but I have several colors from different brands that I squeeze out just for convenience and love of a certain way the color looks. Well I blabbered on I am just so glad that you are enjoying creating again and I am hopeful that you will continue to create and share your art journey with us. Please take care of yourself and be easy in your mind. You are truly inspirational and an enjoyable artist to watch!
Yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaay! I'm so so so so so glad you're coming back! It is good to see your face and hear your voice. I'm so sorry that life has been rough for you lately. I hope that things get better and better. 🙏s
Thank you so much!!
Very nice idea...love it
Thank you so much 😊
Awesome paint organizing hack..and it looks so pretty when hanging. It is art itself now.
Thank you so much 😊
You are talking my language! I wonder if many creative people have ADD. You have described me and my craft space/arting issues too! Lovely space you created. 🙂
😃 lol yeah I wonder 😄
This is a fantastic idea!! Thank you for sharing. I'M SO HAPPY YOUR BACK!! I can't wait to see new content and art from you. Good luck with getting back into the groove. It can be rough. 😊
Thank you so much! Glad to be back! 😃
Seriously good! It is actually a sign of maturity to take care of yourself!
Thanks ☺️
I completely understand. I've recently lost my spark for painting and have been trying to figure out how to get it back. This organization hack is a really cool idea.
Yeah - when that spark is gone it's so hard to ignite it again. 😄 I've been working on organization and abstract art as of late. That's helped alot.
welcome back!
Thanks 😃
Great idea!
Thanks 😊
Brilliant!! Missed you Carrie!!!!❤❤
Thanks 😊
That is a great way to store your paints and doesn't take up alot of room too
Glad you liked it! 😃
Welcome back ❤
Thanks Lisa :)
Very nice to see you again, Carrie! 😍 You are missed! 💗
Aw thanks 😃
Your thumbnail looks like Sadness from Pixar's "Inside Out" if she were a wandering anime hero who uses the power of sorrow to overcome her opponents
I love it 🥰
Welcome back.
Thanks! Glad to be back! 😃
This is a great idea! I tend not to use watercolour fresh from the tube (because I’m poor) so this isn’t really an issue for me, I really wanted to hang the tubes on the wall though because I always thought that looked cute, but I’m glad I’ve you’ve mentioned about them exploding… I definitely won’t be doing that now ahaha 😂
Glad it was helpful! 😃
It's so great to see you back! ☺ I'm exactly the same, if my materials aren't visible then I forget all about them. I don't have a display system for them just yet so I am *constantly* checking! I love the hack you've used, it's simple yet genius 🙌
Thanks Hannah :)
Thank you for this wonderful suggestion.Just curious, where did you find the jewelry holder and what are the overall dimensions? The size is perfect
Hi! You can put in the freezer for a couple of hours your tube paints, specially when they are new, to avoid the paint to explode out when you open them, or in the case you didn´t hung them upside down. The aim is to cool them enough so they don´t rush out like hell, but not to point of stone freeze them :) I saw this tip from Teoh Yi Chie on his UA-cam channel and it has been a great trick so far!
Thanks! Yeah Teoh is awesome!
Thankyou someone understands my worst enemy 🤣 I'm also bad where if stuff is messy I know where everything is but when I try to organize and put stuff in its place I forget I put them there (I blame the fibromyalgia). With no dedicated art space right now my dining room table is have cluttered with my projects cause if I put them away I forget lol
Oh my word yes! Enemy #1! lol
I am right there with you!❤
My poor husband has just learned to live with my art filled kitchen table!
Although it really doesn’t get used often!
Fibromyalgia really sucks all the drive out of you!
Thank you for making this video I like the new organizing method!😊
My dining room table is also my art studio. It is usually a giant creative mess!
I took inspiration from Dr. Oto Kano and got some nail polish holders from Amazon to put my tubes in. I still have to actually organize the tubes in them... but it's a start 😂
Cool 😎
Nice girl your giving McGyver a run for his money 😮
I’ve been the same! Since covid I havent touched my art studio. It’s become a storage room and you can’t get in the door!!
Oh no! Yeah that's what happened to mine over the break. Things just started to pile up.
Same here. The whole atmosphere around Covid and then getting it myself last April, sucked my creative energy right out of me. The only thing I do now and then is colour mixing in the hope of starting my painting up again. 🙈 I now have long Covid, and it's been a bore not even having enough energy to paint, even if I wanted to.
Glad to see you again, Carrie, we battle as a group, and share, shall we?
I have ADD as well, and as I am re-organising my creative corner as well with two big cupboards given to me by my granddaughter, I hope to create more space and tranquility on my table, but you also made me more aware of my own 'out of sight, out of mind' habit. Thank you for that, so that I can corporate it into the reorganisation.
What color is your blue wall? It is gorgeous.
Behr paint color name Antigua. I absolutely love it! It has this really cool under the sea vibe when the light hits it in the afternoon. 😄
Another ADHD person here. Out of sight pretty much translates to nonexistent to me. Strattera helps me with some things, but the out-of-sight struggle is real.
TRUTH! lol 😄 I'm still trying to figure out ways to display stuff without it looking overly cluttered or messy. 😄
Once, I bought a bunch of white sneakers because I wanted to paint them. When they arrived I took them upstairs to put them away, only to find a stack of boxes of white shoes I had already purchased 😆
lol! Been there! Oh my word I can relate to this so much! 😂
