    Bonjour from Quebec. As I write this, fog is rolling in and enveloping my little corner of the world in the countryside. Fairies must be whispering. I've just discovered your channel and am spoiling myself on this last day of the year 2022 by watching all of them. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and delightfulness. We all so need it.

      Melt & Pour glycerin soap is quite easy to work with. And fun. It only requires molds (any shape or size), dyes or micas, a container to pour from, a spoon to stir it, and a microwave. It's a lot of fun and not complicated. But melt & pour soap does need to be kept away from moisture and high humidity until time to use it.

And don't be afraid to just have fun with your art, not comparing it. I have been painting animals and flowers almost every day for about 6 years... you should have seen my first attempt at a cat - it was truly atrocious!

I won’t compare my work with others if I did I’d never paint I’m just realistic and realise I’m no van Gough but hell I enjoy it. I do resin coasters, trays, resin the bottom of wine glasses all that sort of stuff, just recently made my son a chess set. It’s fun and relaxing.

    That portrait of Forest is remarkable,such a handsome feline,I’m sure that you captured his eyes succinctly!
    I am not an artist by profession (because the word art and profession are like oil and water,but that is merely my taste on such things),but I started off,juvenile,as a cartoonist,then grew to the third dimension with carving Tagua nuts,making a few Didjeridu,and carving masks.
    Why is mugwort popping into my head? I think that was a previous video,hmm.
    Anyway,I take my mugwort,dry it,and infuse it with any number of oils,form it into a cone,inscense-wise,and burn it on the lap of Chuchipwe,an ancient statue,I have named him that,no need to Google it,as the name only exists in my home.
    And mugwort drifts,along with its brother oil,often citrus,through the air.
    I need to buy your book,and I shall!
