      Thank you so much Marie-Louise for your lovely and generous comment. Something weird on UA-cam is happening because I only see your comment here through UA-cam studio and not through my notifications from UA-cam. I don’t know what that means. Anyway, I had fun making that tutorial, the walrus and shark part just came to me and I don’t mind being called the walrus.😂😂 I mean it goes back to legend right? “I am the egg man, I am the egg man, I am the walrus coo coo ca choo” 😘😅😂

I have a simple attitude about sharing information and that is, I can lead you in the direction, but you have to execute it yourself in your own environment with your own paints on your own substrates. So I am happy to share as much information as I can, without being taken advantage of hopefully😃

      Hi Kim, yes that was a shortcoming of the video that I was not able to or didn’t think to take the cameras out to show the results, but trust me the angle of the blow on the lower angle, got more cells and just think about it the lower the angle it’s more like a swipe, the higher the angle, less cells more chance for pillow show. Just try it for yourself and you’ll see, glad you like my shark and walrus.😂😂😂

That is so helpful and for you to take the time to do that is so special. And you mentioned at the end another video about the lips I would love to see that. I want to thank you again for taking your time to help others I appreciate it more than you'll ever know. And like I said you've got this perfected the amount of pillow paint and it seems like you put hardly any paint down and you come out with the most beautiful pieces and all themselves, yummy.

I don’t understand the towel concept as you pointed out above. I did mention lips and lips are also another factor here, but I am not probably going to do a video about lips. I think I will lead that to your creative devices. But lips are important how you shape them directly impacts your blow, but I am not imagining how I could possibly have a camera showing my lips at the same time showing the results and I don’t want to get that close to my lips with all my little wrinkles that I’ve gotten nowadays😂 so that will be your imagination. In front of the mirror and see what you can do.🤣🤣🤣 I like to be helpful and I hope that people share what I do to help my channel grow so we all can grow together. That’s all I ask.

    The comment you made about learning from the audience, triggered a memory. The is this composer named Wayne Musgrave. He's our age now. But back in the 1970s, he went on tour with several of the rock bands, as there keyboardest. He would watch the audience, and wonder what was going on with them, and how the music was effecting them. Later on he got a degree in psychology and human behavior. He pioneered the science in what's call musicology, a way of treating patients with music. I have listened to several of his works, that he also puts out free for anyone, from the Cloud. I have used his music as a way to get through my work day, at my former job. I am a trained speed reader and was working in an information gathering service. I have adult attention deficit disorder, this music helped keep me focused. You might have heard one of his stage names. He was Kieth Palmer of Emerson, Lake and Palmer, when he was on tour with them

And it’s absolutely true. I know my husband was an actor, is an actor not acting right now, and he did live interactive shows, and they fed off the audience, there’s a lot of receiving from what the audience cues are to lead a show in a certain direction. I felt the same way when I was teaching I was watching what people were doing, and I was adjusting my teaching tactics to what they needed at the time, very interactive I hear what you’re saying.
