    that shelf thing is soooooo pretty and you're so creative, excuse my past self!

    I don’t think your flannel-fans will think that your videos are “tedious to watch”.
    You make very interesting things and even if one might not think that every item is a masterpiece, you have a very entertaining and quirky way of delivering each video.
    Most enjoyable to watch.

It's not always my personal style, mind you... but it all looks so lovely and wonderful in your space. I adore your ideas and approach to crafting and the new sideboard looks incredible. Please keep doing what you do - it is a joy to watch and amazingly inspiring!!

    I’ve gotten to a point where I have no doubt you will turn out, but you still surprise me about the creative process and changes you make along the way. This piece turned out so so so good, love how you styled it and how it fits the room. It also reminds me of horizontal a cat tower (in the best possible way)

    I love the shape and function of this piece! Personally I think I would have made it a colour, I actually really liked the green in the initial sketch, but it is really cute. I also really like the lamp! The tall, slightly wonky shape reminds me of those tall skinny mushrooms. The frills on the lampshade help make it feel a little wider and balance out the shape more, but I feel like it could look even better with a bigger lamp shade, leaning into the mushroominess even more. Over all this project is such a creative solution to a specific problem, and it turned out absolutely adorable!

  • @emmy8526
    @emmy8526 2 місяці тому +1

    Yay, my new favorite YTer posted! I was dubious about this one but I think the result looks great - has spontaneity in the curves and deliberate intent with the way the lamp fits into it. I think a curvier more modern lampshade would add to the effect.
    I think there’s a type of papier mâché (aka chewed paper) where you make up a big tray of glue solution bath and soak the pieces of paper in it before slapping them on. Could help with the speediness of the process. I hope you’re ventilating well, that’s a lot of glue and paint to be huffing, don’t want that sticking up your lungs.
    Really enjoying having your videos on while working out my own projects! Do a review of your new art room at some point and how it’s affected your mindset and process. (:

    • @beigeflannel
      @beigeflannel  2 місяці тому +1

    love your videos and creations!! I learned to paper mache from Art Attack, who advise more like a wide bowl of possibly thinner glue mix, and you dip and finger-squeegee strips of newspaper (wouldn't work for the toilet paper). I think this might save a lot of time relative to the paintbrush method, and also finger-squeegeeing is pretty great.

    Great beginning to a series. I had a beautiful slubby green linen cushion cover - my favourite shade of green - but it looked off with my rental grey-blue carpet. I was going to take it to the op shop but a friend who is a good sewer offered to turn it into an over-the-shoulder bag for me to replace one that had worn beyond repair. She used IKEA linen I have had for 15 years as lining, and even repurposed the hidden cushion cover zip closure to make an external zip pocket. It is now a treasured thing whose colour lifts me every time I use it, and much more useful than it ever was as a cushion. I look forward to all your creative re-use. Also, I loved the art piece that hung above the cat picture in your living room before your restyling. Did you make it?

    If you made it slightly taller would make for many uses including housing plant pots as much as lamp or both. Brilliant idea you have the patent as shown here so if Ikea decided to try pinching it you would make a lot of dosh. Have you ever used tissue paper used for packaging gifts. I have used it to make clear glass vases into coloured glass. Good on you for doing your part how brave you are standing together against that lot :) thank you. Well done :)

    i love it as is, but i can also picture it painted to match the lamp with frilly edging in the fabric you added to the lamp!
