It's good to see you back on youtube. My crafting mojo has left me temporarily. I understand trying to work with no power. Living in the south, with hurricanes and flooding. It's not easy dealing with all the weather throws at you. Have a great day though.
Sande - "working with no power" 😅 I first read that relating it to lack of mojo. I like the concept tho - as in, keep creating, in whatever form, and trust our inner power will come on again🎉. I think a lot of us are struggling with this now 🎈
I love your IG little collages! They inspired me to take your florals class and I’m having a blast! Thanks for all your fabulous videos, Erin! You rock! 💕💕💕
I'm sorry to hear that. I just don't like anything I do and that makes me less inclined to do anything. But I think i'm getting a bit better. Spent some time arting today and it was actually really nice.
Your small collages on IG are so pretty. Nice to see you back on YT. We have had 25 cm of snow two days ago and so much wind and there are still homes without electricity… I guess we shared the same weather… Take care. Merci 😊
I’m so excited that you have made and shared a new video. Absolutely loved every minute of it. The part where you realized you couldn’t use the blow dryer was partially fun. I also have binge watched a lot of your videos. I always love your color choices and always learn from every video. I can’t wait to try the ATCs. Thank you for sharing!
I was so excited to see your video. You are one of my favorite artists. These turned out beautifully. I always love your style, colors, shapes, and how you embellish your work. Amazing! Thanks so much for sharing. I hope you continue to share videos.
It makes me so happy to see a new video from you! Your ATCs are so lovely. Love your colors and marks! Could you tell us more about your labels? I think that's a great idea for swaps!
Thank you so much Erin, I really really enjoyed watching you create these Stunningly beautiful and amazing ATC’s. They’re absolutely fabulous and I love ❤❤❤❤❤ them All!!!!!!!! Everything about them is awesome. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
Really enjoyed this, I've been into circles, lately, too. You might be able to thicken your pink paint by putting the bottle into a pan of boiling water and let it simmer for a while. I do it for my art glitter glue when it comes in a bit thin from the store. It takes about an hour but it slowly boils off the extra water that's in it. Paint (or glue ) batches/lots can be different just depending on the day it was manufactured, the ingredients being a bit different, etc. Learned this from my dh who worked in quality control for a paint company many years ago. That's why when I paint a big area, like a room, I get all the paint at the same time in the hope it all came from the same batch/lot. Just watch that the paint bottle, itself, doesn't get too soft as they seem to be making the plastic bottles thinner.
I really enjoy your style! These turned out way cute! And is inspiring to make my own for future trades. I hope you feel more into doing your flip book. Been working in mine and would love to see your creations. I hope youve been staying warm and have power back soon!
Love this color palette! Your ATCs turned out so beautifully! You’ve inspired me to play today and do this master board technique. I’m in NH. So tired of power outages for the past few weeks. I have an automated generator but it provides only critical power and my art space isn’t on it. 😢 Several losses with this last storm which includes an 80’ hemlock in my backyard. Ugh. Counting my blessings though since no damage to us or the home. I had to laugh when you tried the heat gun. So frustrating when you continue to flip light switches on out of habit.
It was not fun! And I too was so worried about trees hitting the house through all of it. We had a close call last winter! So many branches and twigs down though and pine cones too. Will take a lot of raking to clean it all up. But it seems as if spring has finally sprung so I'm happy for that!!
Hi Erin!! So glad to see you on YT again. I love creating Artist Trading Cards and enjoyed watching you create yours. The colors you like are also my favs. Great video. I am interested in the stickers you put on the back of your ATCs. Did you create them yourself or order from someone??
@@eb_mixedmedia Thank you so much, Erin. I think I'm going to do this also. The ones I've been using have been a pain!! Yours are so neat and compact. They don't have to take up the whole backside which eliminates all the trimming, etc. Thanks again!!
I love your art! I also enjoy making ATCs. Sometimes I leave one randomly for someone to find it. But I would love to exchange cards with other artists. Are there any teading groups? I live in Canada.
Thanks! I don't know of any active groups except one very small one of five artists in Germany. I think there may be goups on Facebook but I don't really use Facebook. You could always put up a post on Instagram that you are looking for a few artists to trade with. I think other people would also be interested.
There are some organized ATC groups on Instagram and Facebook. Artists often send "happy mail" to fellow artists and might include an ATC in that. Some people just ask if they can trade with others or start their own group of a few people. I belonged to one for a year or so and there were like 300 people in it. It was so much work for the woman organizing it she eventually had to give it up. Fodder School sometimes does a trade as well.
Oh, one more thing please. I am trying to make your florals from the class that you so generously offered for free. I’m having a very difficult time trying to find a bold black jelly pen. Do you have a source by any chance?
I don’t know why… but….i am totally in love with this! The colors, shapes, patterns, layering, lots of circles….i just love it!!!
So glad you liked it!!

What is the “nerf dart” (?) that you used to make orange dots?
It’s a foam dart from one of my kids nerf guns. It has a round plastic tip that is perfect for making dots/circles.
So how and who do you trade these cards.
There are some organized ATC groups on Instagram and Facebook. Artists often send "happy mail" to fellow artists and might include an ATC in that. Some people just ask if they can trade with others or start their own group of a few people. I belonged to one for a year or so and there were like 300 people in it. It was so much work for the woman organizing it she eventually had to give it up. Fodder School sometimes does a trade as well.
Oh, one more thing please. I am trying to make your florals from the class that you so generously offered for free. I’m having a very difficult time trying to find a bold black jelly pen. Do you have a source by any chance?
I use a Sakura gelly roll pen. I papermate flair also gives a nice thick line for outlining.
Thank you
👏👏👏👍👍👍🌺💜
Thank you!
Now I want a Nerf dart ...
😂🤣😂
