As a young, ethnically Peruvian artist, seeing a successful Latin American artist is really inspiring for me. It makes me feel like if I do art I can succeed. Your art is lovely and the packaging is adorable. Thanks for making your channel! :)
So happy to see you and Ed are well. It is so comforting to watch your videos, especially right now. Thanks for letting us know you are doing OK. Cheers, Bella. Keep smiling.
YOU are the nicest human Fran. Just joined your patreon and i'm loving the community vibes. Don't ever apologise, rest up girl. The pins are lovely. Thank you so much for making all your cosy content. Its honestly the most comforting thing to know I can turn to your youtube or listen to your podcast and hear you chat about art supplies and cats. Lots of love from London xxx
Aw, I don't think of it as Patreons paying for your rest! Every job has paid time off and you've been doing so much extra. Time off should be baked in. Another way you could add more protection to your masks is by putting a coffee filter in there. I bought a couple that have a little pocket like that for adding your own filter. There's an NYT article about which fabrics are most effective but the ones I've seen mentioned most are vacuum bags, flannel, and coffee filters. The hair clips are super cute!
vacuum bags can be quite dangerous, please look it up! 👐a thin but smooth paper tissue would be great as that is not a woven material like the mask itself and therefore filters differently. like those for cosmetic purposes, makeup
I get what you mean about the weeks blending in to each other. In my studio I have a spot for digital art, painting and then silversmithing so luckily I always have something different to do!
Oh my, I want to be like you one day. :) Running a small art and stationery business doesn't seem so impossible now. Thank you for sharing your journey and posting these videos. They're super relaxing. :)
Honestly, i don’t think I’ve ever been so happy while doing homework. I just corrected a mistake I made studying the legs muscular system, and then it looked right... and I’m happy, I fucking smiled. I haven’t really felt happy or smiled all day. This was nice, thank you Fran.
Hey Fran, your videos are so wholesome and enriching, and I just wanted to let you know that I didnt noticed you missed uploading a video. You already create so much content!! Its really a lot! The most important thing is to take good care of yourself. In the end I think we wont worry about if we kept schedules or did all the things. I think the most important thing overall is how much we are able to love ourselves. And you know we love you!
Omg Fran!!! Would you consider screen printing masks with some of your tshirt designs and adding them to your shop?!?!?! I would love to have a mask made by you!!!!
this is so great, Fran! :-) thank you so much for all the lovely and warm company during these crazy times! there's no "not enough" if you don't manage to upload a video regularly, every video you do upload is an awesome add-on :) ...and oh my god, that "uh oh"-pin with the empty coffee mug is SO great i would die for that one on a t-shirt! (*winky winky*). lots of love, Fran!
¡Qué lindo Fran! Gracias por tus videos, son mi premio al final de cada semana de online schoolwork. Me encantó el pin del hombre con la barba larga :) Espero que tú y Ed tengan una linda semana.
I always love your content, Fran. It is always so calming. You are also an inspiration x I can see how packing orders would be so enjoyable for you, knowing that you are getting ready to ship off your creations that make other people happy :)
Hey! Try Sculpey's Bake and bond to attach more clay( baked or unbaked )or metal like your clips. It is basically liquid clay. After baking your initial pieces try adding a little bake and bond and attach your clips and you can bake them a second time. It holds so much more stronger than glue and it almost never comes off. It bakes on transparent too. Hope this helps. :)
So happy to see your video pop up during my lunch break 😍 Great job on all of your projects, especially the pins/clips. Super fun! Thank you for brightening my day 💓
Dear Fran - I love your masks! I heard a great way at my office the other day to tell if your mask is of good quality - regarding germs etc. Light a match while wearing the mask and try to blow it out. If the flame goes out - not good enough protection! So simple but easy! Take care and stay safe x
You deserved that break!! I’m glad you took some time. Those hair pins are adorable, I love them. And for what it’s worth, my toddler saw them and instantly went “ooooh!!!!!” 😁
Me encantan tus videos, siempre es una alegría instantánea ver que hay uno nuevo 💖 creo que es mejor descansar para recargar pilas creativas, no te preocupes por nosotros, estamos aquí para ti 🌿
HNGGHHH I'm freaking out because I'm pretty sure at 3:39 you're packing my order with that big box that's a pain to close. i can't tell you how much i love my planner and calendars and shirt! also, i wanted to let you know i've adopted your "ugly sketchbook" mentality with my planner. it's my "ugly planner" where i jot down ideas and plan out my creative projects without the judgement of needing everything perfectly scheduled while keeping it separate from the rest of my life. and when i have everything concrete and figured out, i end up transferring it over to my weekly/monthly calendars and also make note of it in my bullet journal, where other goals collide. it's so nice to have that safe space without worrying about making mistakes or having to rearrange things :3
I would recommend to sandpaper the clips a bit before hand, if the surface is to "blank/shiny" sometimes even the superglue doesn't make the clay stick for ever :)
It’s so important to recognize the need to rest up, so good on you Fran! Loved the video and the pins are adorable. I was jealous of every person you packed an order for. 😂
Hi Fran! Just wanted to say that you don't need to apologize for not uploading. Everybody could use sime time off right now, and I honestly have been feeling really down these past weeks. As you said, every week feels the same and here in Brazil (where I live) things are only getting worse; even though a portion of the population is quarantined, the curve is still not going down. So please, don't apologize for resting, you have the right to. And actually, I've been binge-watching your old videos, so it's really not a problem if you don't upload frequently, haha. Also, the hair clips turned out sooooo cute! I'd love to buy them! I can't do it right away, but I'm planning to get two of your planners (one for me and another for one of my closest friends), and I'll make sure to get one of the hair clips if they're available by then. Anyways, hope you're ok and remember to take your time whenever you need it! Sending you love from South America
Hey Fran. I love watching your videos. I think we're all going through the same emotions and ups and downs but at different rates. I really struggled in the beginning but seem to have adjusted to things now whereas I've noticed other people were fine to start with but are now starting to experience what I did at the beginning. We all seem to have a lot more in common than we ever realised.
Hey Fran, I just wanted to tell you that it's actually fine to bake metal parts/pins with clay (in an electrical oven, I'm not sure if it's save when you have a gas oven). Especially with Polymer clay like Fimo, where the required baking temperature isn't that high, its totally safe :)
Aww the pencil clip is so cute! I think if it was the other way around (pointy side forward) it would look like it's tucked behind your ear. Love your videos 😊
I feel you so much about feeling unmotivated :( Right before this whole quarantine thing began, I felt burnt out and decided to take a few weeks off to rest. At first it was relaxing, Animal Crossing came out and everyone on social media was learning to take it slow too! But being stuck inside with no notion of time has become terrible for my mental health. I have a breakdown almost every day. I feel like I should have gotten plenty of rest in this time period, but I've become completely unable to pick up a pencil and draw. I'm trying to be understanding towards myself because these are some really weird time and it's normal to not function properly, but I hope I can feel the world is itself again soon. Anyway, watching your videos is always really relaxing, so they're very welcome in these trying times. Thank you Fran!
It's hard. It helped me to just stop thinking about expectations and just do whatever i needed to do or felt like doing at the time, and if that meant doing nothing but play video games for a whole week that was what i did.
This video was so relaxing! I'm glad you're taking time off to feel better! I heard vacuum bags are a good and safe material for masks too! Hope u both are doing well and staying safe ❤
I love looking at your organization, an artist dream! One day I hope that many people buy my paintings also :) thanks for these super relaxing vids and sending you love to nyc. I am in Toronto and things are sorta okay. I am doing some drawings about Nyc because I had to cancel my trip there but drawing makes me feel better. :)
Hey, instead of another layer of fabric inside your masks you can put cooking paper or something similar cause it really doesn't let anything through :)
Ooh, I feel you! I haven't been to my workplace, an art gallery in Budapest for 9 weeks now and I miss it soo much I actually dream a lot about working there again!
i was smiling the whole time i was watching this video~ i hope to be able to make my own art products and get better art materials when i'm older :> thank you so much for lowkey keeping my hopes high, miss fran !
I love these pins so much. I wish i was able yo go through my simple designs without feeling like they are dumb or too plain. Because your designs although so simple always look so quirky and beautiful!
Fran!! I haven't had the chance to keep up with your vlogs but I'm watching this now after doing uni animation finals and I should by all means be exhausted, but, like always, your videos are always relaxing and motivate me for future artistic endeavors even though it's 3am.
As a young, ethnically Peruvian artist, seeing a successful Latin American artist is really inspiring for me. It makes me feel like if I do art I can succeed. Your art is lovely and the packaging is adorable. Thanks for making your channel! :)
BeeBee please do! I love Peru 💞🎨✨
So happy to see you and Ed are well. It is so comforting to watch your videos, especially right now. Thanks for letting us know you are doing OK. Cheers, Bella. Keep smiling.
Fran: I feel unmotivated... *does more things for one vid than I've done in this whole month*
Feel same, dang will never do pages with a schedule.

Your videos are always so soothing -- exactly how I like to start my Fridays. Thank you for being so inspiring. :)
watching you packing orders literally slowed my heart rate down. i miss that kind of work. and absolutely love putting those boxes together.

11:48 she says the train is passing by and I was so confused because I thought she could hear the train pass by my house at the exact same time haha
The packing footage is sooooo soooooothing ahhhhhhh
*"This finger is not for you" ... lol*
Omg Fran!!! Would you consider screen printing masks with some of your tshirt designs and adding them to your shop?!?!?! I would love to have a mask made by you!!!!
Your videos are so cozy for me! Thank you for helping me wind down after a long day ❤
This is just on time for me to procrastinate from my nineteenth century essay about Victor Hugo thank you Fran
this is so great, Fran! :-) thank you so much for all the lovely and warm company during these crazy times! there's no "not enough" if you don't manage to upload a video regularly, every video you do upload is an awesome add-on :) ...and oh my god, that "uh oh"-pin with the empty coffee mug is SO great i would die for that one on a t-shirt!

Fran ver tus videos son super relajantes para mí , por lo que a la hora de publicar un vídeo verte es como terapia jajaja Saludos desde la Serena ❤

watching you pack orders is soooo relaxing wow
So happy to see your video pop up during my lunch break 😍 Great job on all of your projects, especially the pins/clips. Super fun! Thank you for brightening my day 💓
Haha, I loved the "real music vs youtube video music" moment.
Dear Fran - I love your masks! I heard a great way at my office the other day to tell if your mask is of good quality - regarding germs etc. Light a match while wearing the mask and try to blow it out. If the flame goes out - not good enough protection! So simple but easy! Take care and stay safe x
Fran don't worry rest all you need! I'll be here when you come back! Who knows when we'll be rest like this again! :)
You deserved that break!! I’m glad you took some time.
Those hair pins are adorable, I love them. And for what it’s worth, my toddler saw them and instantly went “ooooh!!!!!” 😁
hay yo tambien amo empacar! es delicioso poner las cosas en su lugar armar ordenes, pensar a quien van, todo el proceso me encanta !
Me encantan tus videos, siempre es una alegría instantánea ver que hay uno nuevo 💖 creo que es mejor descansar para recargar pilas creativas, no te preocupes por nosotros, estamos aquí para ti 🌿
I was missing you Fran! and loved the last part about your mom and the tote bags, made me laugh out loud
Tus vlogs son un regalito de alegría y felicidad en medio de la pandemia. Gracias! Los pins quedaron hermosos, los quiero todooooooosssss!!! Jaja 😍
I freaking love the Pencil one and the "not today" clip :D
HNGGHHH I'm freaking out because I'm pretty sure at 3:39 you're packing my order with that big box that's a pain to close. i can't tell you how much i love my planner and calendars and shirt! also, i wanted to let you know i've adopted your "ugly sketchbook" mentality with my planner. it's my "ugly planner" where i jot down ideas and plan out my creative projects without the judgement of needing everything perfectly scheduled while keeping it separate from the rest of my life. and when i have everything concrete and figured out, i end up transferring it over to my weekly/monthly calendars and also make note of it in my bullet journal, where other goals collide. it's so nice to have that safe space without worrying about making mistakes or having to rearrange things :3
ugh THE CUTEST HAIRCLIPS AAHHH
I love watching packing orders. I don’t know why but just happy for you. Cute hair pins. Hope you both are doing good. ^ ^
Lovely calming video :) you two make quite a team!
painting your clay hair clips looked really satisfying. This vlog was super relaxing, thank you :)
I would recommend to sandpaper the clips a bit before hand, if the surface is to "blank/shiny" sometimes even the superglue doesn't make the clay stick for ever :)
This was so relaxing to watch. Wow.
I love the red pencil!!! Soo cute!
Admiro tu paciencia por hacer las cosas que amas
so wonderful!! you give me so much inspiration in those weird days!
It’s so important to recognize the need to rest up, so good on you Fran! Loved the video and the pins are adorable. I was jealous of every person you packed an order for. 😂
I imagine for those design to be a drawer handle/knob.. It will be so cuuuteee
I love your clay hair clips
Thanks to your Spanish subtitling, I've improved my Spanish and can understand you and Ed talking sometimes without the subtitles.
I love your videos! They always have such a warm an calming atmosphere. Hope you're doing fine Fran!
I was just going to bed but... Oh, hey, wow, Fran posted her new video! So, lovely!

“It’s been super crazy...the cats are sleeping”
Whoa, hold on, I wasn’t ready for that 😂
Hey Fran. I love watching your videos. I think we're all going through the same emotions and ups and downs but at different rates.

Uno que diga "Bad hair day" quedaría 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
your vlogs are so relaxing
Love all of your cute projects! They're awesome.
I chuckled seeing the mister with red lips pin. It’s so cute.
You are such an inspiration to me, Fran. ❤️

Thinking of you. Sounds like a really tough time :(. Look after yourself and i'm sure the motivation will slowly pick up. I know how you feel tho xxx
This video was so relaxing! I'm glad you're taking time off to feel better! I heard vacuum bags are a good and safe material for masks too! Hope u both are doing well and staying safe ❤
I love the little hair clips!!! I think the strawberry one is my favorite!
My favorite is the pencil hair clip.
"Real audio: Metallica"
Yeah, that would exactly be me 😂
I just loved that bit :D
Gracias fran por tus videitos de verdad que me inspiras mucho a seguir dibujando 😭 siempre pongo uno de tus vídeos cuando me pongo a dibujar
Tus vídeos son tan relajantes ❤️ Excelentes para una mañana con un cafecito. Saludos desde México

I love looking at your organization, an artist dream! One day I hope that many people buy my paintings also :) thanks for these super relaxing vids and sending you love to nyc. I am in Toronto and things are sorta okay. I am doing some drawings about Nyc because I had to cancel my trip there but drawing makes me feel better. :)
Did I hear you say "BROOKLYN"... I Was born and raised in BROOKLYN. Thank you so so much for inspiring. Mucho bendiciones
So relaxing to watch 😻
Hey, instead of another layer of fabric inside your masks you can put cooking paper or something similar cause it really doesn't let anything through :)
Great tip! Thank you :>
your videos always relax me, thank you fran
Ooh, I feel you! I haven't been to my workplace, an art gallery in Budapest for 9 weeks now and I miss it soo much I actually dream a lot about working there again!

I love the pencil hair clip! :) Thank you again for another calming and lovely video.
Confieso que ver tus videos mientras hago aseo en la casa o cocino, es mi placer culpable! Me encanta!
Hang in there and stay strong, Fran
Also if u try putting the corners into the slots before you completely close the box they should go in a bit easier x
I love the hair clips 💕💕 Great vlog, thanks 😘
I’m learning Spanish and I would love for you to do a video speaking Spanish with English subtitles. Thanks for being you, Fran, love you!
Fran!! I haven't had the chance to keep up with your vlogs but I'm watching this now after doing uni animation finals and I should by all means be exhausted, but, like always, your videos are always relaxing and motivate me for future artistic endeavors even though it's 3am.
Creo que todos amamos el sonido del tren ✨💖
