- Join me for this month’s art haul as I unbox my Stencil Girl Stencil Club, Sketchbox, and a fun surprise-the new Dina Wakley Ledger Journal!
This month’s Stencil Girl set features a beautiful floral theme, perfect for mixed media and journaling. My Sketchbox was all about Pan Pastels, which is so exciting because they fit right in with my new Pan Pastel class!
I’m sharing my first impressions, favorite colors, and how I plan to use these supplies in my upcoming art projects. If you love art supplies, stencils, and pastels, this one’s for you! Let me know in the comments-what’s your favorite new art supply this month? 🎨✨

Love this!!! Thank you Denise!!!
You are so welcome! 🤗
Thank you for sharing the new Dina Wakley, i'm looking forward to see what you'll be making in it!
They are cool! I love that they used a real antique ledger to make them! 🤗
LOL, I did notice your stash of Dina Wakely journals!
Hahaha!! Too funny! 🤗
These two drawings are nice! I've been playing with the pan pastels from my Sketchbox as well. Hubby says I look like a kid at Christmas when my Sketchbox comes in the post. LOL
Right? It feels like Christmas every month!! I love it too! 🤗
Great haul and I can’t wait to see what you do with the DW journal!
Me too! I’ve got some fun plans for it already! 🤗
I TOTALLY eagle-eyed your DW journal hoard! …LOL!!!! And these new ones are super cool! Score!
Hahaha! I love it!! 🤗🤗🤗
Love the art hauls! Great demo and testing! Thank you Denise!!!🎨💕
So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! 🤗
Thank you for sharing all of this. I belong to the Stencil Club and this months offering is beautiful. Love the DW ledger journal and would love to have one, someday :)
So glad you enjoyed it!! Thank you! 🤗
I too may have a stash of Dina Wakely journals 😂❤
Haha!! 🤗🤗🤗
The first stencil you wondered about is a Cycalmen (sp?) plant bloom. Love!! all the goodies.
Oh good! Thank you! 🤗
Thank you for doing the demo. I have been wanting to play with pan pastels but didn’t want to lay out the funds in case I didn’t like them. Got my SketchBox and tried them out. Actually think I have finally found an art medium I don’t care for! Can you imagine? The pan pastels will go safely into my supplies to drag out at a later time. I do like how they work with stencils so hope is not lost that they will be useful someday.
Oh I know what you mean about not caring for a medium, it happens! I think sometimes we need to go through that to find the ones that really resonate with us. 🤗
I was waiting for this video as my Sketchbox (basic) contained some pan pastels (SB brand). After watching your pan pastel video from a week or so ago, I wasn’t sure they were something I would be interested in but I do love the pieces you created today, so I will give them a try. I’m getting the idea that it’s pastels with pastels as you have mentioned that pastels are the last layer you use? I laughed when I saw your stack of Dina Wakley Journals…I think you had said previously that you had “a couple” stashed away. A couple usually means two so you have numerous couples😁. Thank you, Denise. Here’s a big ol’ hug for you🤗!
That is so interesting - you might love this paper since the other one I did you didn't think you'd like! Hahaha.. Thats too funny on the stash of journals... I tell on myself when I do a studio tour... 😂😂😂
Thanks Denise, love the stencils and the DW Ledger journal. Have a wonderful day.
So glad you enjoyed it!! Thank you! 🤗
I'm glad you found your way to the Ledger Journal -- I was going to suggest it to you but figured you'd pick up on it if it interested you -- it's certainly a cool idea, I'm not an 'art journaler' but I was thinking about trying that one out so I'm looking forward to seeing how you end up working with it :) I'm not a pan pastel person but do love the vibrancy of that color mix so who knows -- thanks as always for sharing your adventures both as a creator and a collector ❤
I think that one will be fun to work in! I love that it was from an original antique ledger! 🤗🤗🤗
You win!!! I "only" have 2 large and 2 smaller of Dinas journals. 😂But I made too many of my own journals. They will last me FOREVER 😁 The small art pages are cute :) Thanks for sharing and see you next time.!
Haha! Too funny.. I love all my handmade journals too, better than the commercial made ones... and I still want those too 😂 Thank you! 🤗
I also have a stash of Dina Wakley journals. I am now the proud owner of two ledger journals. My initial thought was that I would use one for artwork and the other one I would rip up for collage paper. However, that remains to be seen!
That’s a great idea to use one for collage papers! 🤗
😂 I seen your stack of the Wakeley journals! 😂
Hahaha!! I tell on myself when I do studio tours 😂
I paused your video and grabbed a journal immediately. Love the ledger idea! So excited to play in it.
You're going to love it!! 🤗🤗🤗
Same, only now it is sold out 😞 Will try again later 🙂
Really pretty. I love all your videos. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed this one! 🤗
Yep, saw the stack! Another good reason to tap off, not blow on, pastel dust is that you don’t want to breathe that stuff or have anyone around you (including pets) breathe it.
Exactly!! You definitely don’t want to suck that powder in! Thank you! 🤗
(Haha!! That stack! I tell on myself when I do a studio tour 😂)
Always enjoy your videos!
I appreciate that! Thank you! 🤗
Dang. Sold out already on the journal!
Check back - they add more every day! 🤗
@ I’m on the notifications list!
You could try adding some grit to that pastel paper with a mixture of clear gesso and marble dust.
You could! I just like the sanded paper way better. 🤗
Girl I hoard art supplies too. Sometimes in life you just have to do what makes you happy. I don't have pan pastels but I am taking a class by this lady named Denise Love. I don't know if you've heard of her. She's a great teacher . Lol. So I will be purchasing some pan pastels. Do you get the biggest sketchbook membership? I know there are different levels. You got great stuff. I love it all as usual.😂. Hope you and the sweet furbabies have a wonderful weekend.
Right? Hoarding art supplies definitely makes me happy! 😂😂😂. The Pan pastels are fun. Just start with a few and see if you like them. I get the premium box - I think there is a standard and a premium. The premium one usually has a better quality supply, and usually have at least 1 more than the standard. 🤗🤗🤗
@2lilowlsstudio thank you.
Wow, love the new DW journal! I'm going to have to pick at least one up!
Right? It looks fantastic!! You'll love it. 🤗
Haven’t seen the Pan Pastels before😮
They are a cool medium to try out! 🤗
How funny I had also noticed and was counting them.LOL
Haha!! I love that.. 😂
I did order one myself Denise even though it cost me lots in postage to the UK.🎉
Hope you love it! 🤗
I almost commented on that stash of Dina Wakley journals. I counted 9 of them 😂
Hahaha! Too funny... 🤗🤗🤗
@ 🤣❤️
@@rosalindoliva5777I tell on myself when I do these tours 😂
I also noticed those Journals!!😅
How do we seal the pan pastels?
I wouldn’t want to frame them!!
You don’t seal the pan pastels. You need to frame them. The sealers dramatically change the color and I have ruined pieces trying to use sealer. ☺️
You frame all of yours?
@@doriszilberstein4057I store them in clear art sleeves with a piece of dry wax paper on them til I decide what to do with them. A few are framed.
Thank you ❤
There's a trick to framing un-sealed pastel paintings of any kind -- it's a double framing mat technique in which the inside mat opening is wider than the outside mat opening so if any particles fall down, they're hidden inside the edge of that outer mat. That said, artists' quality pastel paintings are usually done on archival quality sanded or velour papers which have plenty of tooth to hold the pastel.
Denise I left for a cruise today and last night I placed a Ranger order and bought 2 of the ledger journals so they will be waiting for me when I get home I also really likes our sketch box and stencils this month. A question for you is I’m looking for the sanded paper and not finding it. Do you have a link or a brand name for me to find it. Thanks. As always great video.
Have fun on your cruise!! I like the Uart 600 grit paper and the Art Spectrum papers for the pastels. Pastel papers on Blick - shrsl.com/4hv5x
I love these art hauls (though they are dangerous for me 😂)! But I have to say that I’m not a fan of the smaller DW journal I bought…I really struggle with the quality of the watercolor paper - I find it hard to paint on and it seems to really muddy or tone down the colors too much.
The paper in that is weird.. and I really disliked it to begin with... but after working with it more in a mixed media way - I'm ok with it. I do like the papers I picked for my handmade journals more, you can pick your favorite papers when you make one. 🤗
@@2lilowlsstudioThat’s my next project (or one of my many next projects)!
I have Oil Pastels in stick form. Will that work with what you are doing?
No, these aren't oil pastels - they are like the soft pastels.
@@2lilowlsstudio ok. Thanks. I decided I need to focus one thing anyway and not continue to branch out. I tend to get distracted by new stuff ha ha
Journal sold out!!!!😢
Just keep checking back!
