    We have been having a horrible week in the US, and I have been binge watching all of your art videos just to hear your soothing voice, and watch your relaxed painting. Besides all the political stuff, I am a retired nurse and my former co-workers are fighting on the Covid units. I would be there with them if I could. Hope you stay safe and thank you for being here for us.

      I’ve heard about the horrible week that’s been happening in the US. Sending lots of love in your direction, along with your former co-workers. I’m so happy my videos have offered a little relief 🤗💕

      I agree Linda, such a tough week for us Americans. As an "art antidote" I plan to use my Gesso for the first time (using this excellent instruction) and basically do a similar page, just for learning. Maybe I will call my Junk Journal Art Antidotes.

    ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!! I really enjoyed watching this calm and creative process. I'm sitting at my craft desk making vintage postcards, turning yukky card stock into, well, something yummy. Had to keep stopping to watch where you were up to...I want to do a page like this in my Altered Book. It fresh, it's relevant and I would get to use some paints. I love it. Thanks for being such a warm and friendly collab buddy. You rock Helen! Take care, hugs, joie xxx
