Can a Subscription Box be Sustainable? thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich 2024-05-20 | A company reached out to me and offered to send me a product. This happens a lot and I often say "no" unless it is something viewers have requested or I think it is something new and innovative or a good alternative to what is on the market. This box was sent to me for free to check out.You can read about their sustainable mission here: the-hobby-hop.subbly.me/articles/in-the-box/crafting-and-consumer-waste-reversing-the-impact-1I looked over their website and from what I can see from past kits this is more for the craft curious or beginner crafter or someone who wants to do crafts with their kids, pre-teens especially. (*Please note: The designers of the box have said they designed this for busy mommas who are short on time and want to grab a box and go craft and it may contain sewing needles and other products not designed for children.) I think many people would enjoy the projects but advanced crafters probably wouldn't be challenged enough by the contents and probably have the supplies they are featuring already. I think this is perfect for casual hobbists who want everything they need for a project all in one spot so they can sit down and make something. Reviewers said they had enough supplies to make 4-7 projects which brings down the cost per use of the box to an affordable per-project price. Cost: The boxes cost between $40 and $49 depending on how much you pay upfront. Shipping was about $7.50 when I typed in my info on the order form and it seems to be shipped USPS flat rate so you will need to add that to the box price to determine if it is worth it.Bottom line: I like the idea of making project kits from supplies that might otherwise go to waste and the fact two women can make that into a business. It allows them to put more value in the box I think.

Intense?!? They Aint Kidding! QoR Intense Watercolor Mini Set Review thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich 2024-05-06 | These colors are Knock your socks of vibrant! I was able to snag this set for a song on Amazon: amzn.to/4aGUSZG I think they might be changing the packaging and liquidating old product but I don't know for sure. Blick has them too so be sure to compare prices: http://shrsl.com/4hvpkThis set includes Hansa Yellow Light, Transparent Pyrrole Orange, Quinacridone Magenta, Dioxazine Purple, Cerulean Blue Chromium, and Phthalo Turquoise, plus six empty half pans for mixing, adding additional colors, or removing to include a travel brush.Pros:Nice tin and packagingBeautiful vibrant colors that mix cleanlyLayers wellNice dispersion in waterMade in the USACons:The price I paid may be unavailableBottom line: If you like extremely strong, bright saturated colors you will love this. If you prefer more muted colors these may be difficult to control. That said the palette is well-balanced and neutrals can be mixed. I really like it but but I don't think the color palette is for everybody.Try a class! lindsayweirich.teachable.comNEW!

Lets Clean my Teaching Palettes & Restore Brushes! (yes, this is as dull as it sounds.) thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich 2024-05-03 | Well, you asked for it, a palette clean-up video where I dispense bits of advice on teaching, setting up a travel art studio, making the most of your art supply budget, and restoring brushes that have seen better days. Let's hang out and have a relaxing cleaning sesh. I wish I took before picks of the brushes and palettes, I always forget to do that! LOL!I mentioned some useful tools and supplies for teaching watercolor, I will link what I think of below but feel free to ask questions in the comments. *Affiliate links used at no cost to you, thank you for your support:)The tote I use to transport my tools is by Crop n Style and it is no longer made but I found a product made by any companies called a rolling teacher's bag that would work perfectly. Amazon has many to choose from. I have not used any of them because my Crop n Style tote has been perfect. This XL scrapbooking tote from Crop n Style is still available tho: amzn.to/4bkWok3Rolling teacher bags on Amazon: amzn.to/3UGrc9JWatercolor palettes:A good option would be to purchase some empty palettes in bulk like this 12 pack of folding plastic palettes: amzn.to/4bhChDt which holds 20 colors. Still, I would only put paint on the bottom wells as 10 colors are more than enough. I would do split primary set of 6 of DaVinci watercolor because the 37ml tubes are a great value and professional quality: http://shrsl.com/4ieut My recommended colors are: Hansa Yellow Light (Cool primary; PY3)Arylide Yellow (Warm primary; PY97)Red Rose Deep (Cool primary; PV19)Vermilion (Warm primary; PR188/PO62)Phthalo Blue (Cool primary; PB15)Ultramarine Blue (Warm primary; PB29)Burnt Sienna (Pbr7)Yellow Ochre (PY 43) or raw siennaSap Green (PG7, PY42) *this is a convenient color but great to have!If you want a premade palette I'd recommend:This is the Aquafine set I have, I think they are discontinuing it tho: amzn.to/3JHcxos *I am happy with it for the price I paid but I wouldn't recommend it if it cost over $15. I have also used the Cotman sketcher box amzn.to/3UIXHEk and I still think it is a good set and less intimidating color wise but for the price, I'd still go with either the Davinci or Pretty Excellent if I had to do it again.Pretty Excellent/ Meilang 36 set, these watercolors are better than Aquafine and usually cheaper, watch for sales! amzn.to/3y7mFnE*36 is a lot of colors so you might want to put magnets on the back of the halfpans and only put the essential colors in the tin for students and refill with Davinci as you use up colors.Paper:An affordable cotton watercolor paper is Bee: amzn.to/4aZ4RK0 I have use this a lot and you can't beat it for the priceI also use Watercolor cards for many classes and they work well with the student grade paint.Canson Montval: http://shrsl.com/4ieviStrathmore: http://shrsl.com/4ievlBrushes:This is tough, I like to have a #4 and #8 round and a 1/2" flat asa minimum for classes. The aquafine sets have the #4 round. Dynasty makes a nice brush: http://shrsl.com/4ievl and so does Royal & Langnickle: http://shrsl.com/4ievt but I have a hodge-podge of brushes and they work fine too. Just try and keep them in good working order.Other:I get the masking tape from Dollar Tree, it has the perfect amount of stickiness. I get bulk pencil sharpeners and pencils there too. That is also where I found the brush hanger and washer.Try a class! lindsayweirich.teachable.comNEW!

Winsor & Newton Mixing Set of 6 Designer Gouache Review thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich 2024-04-29 | I bought this 6-tube mixing set of Winsor & Newton Designer Gouache a few months ago because I was curious about the brand and I wanted to review the smaller mixing sets offered by various companies to see what's the most useful set. You can find this set on Amazon: amzn.to/3xxlLRp and Blick: http://shrsl.com/4hlzv *blick has open stock tubes as well and often the prices on sets are the same or cheaper than Amazon.The colors in the set are Zinc White, Ivory Black, Primary Red, Primary Blue, Primary Yellow and Permanent green middle. the tubes are 14ml and a simple mixing brochure with info on the colors in the range is included.Pros:PriceColors mix wellPigment and lightfastness info is providedEasy to work withRewets fine so the dry paint on your palette can be reusedCons:The colors are fairly transparent for a gouacheThe red is not lightfastThere was some binder separation on a few of the colorsIn my opinion, the green is a waste in this set, and a brown would have been much more useful.Bottom line:I think these paints are nice and well-priced. The opacity was good enough that I did not struggle to layer colors or paint on toned paper. I enjoyed the color selection (except the green) and liked the zinc white for mixing. I think this would be a good mixing set but the lack of a brown might be unnecessarily frustrating for a beginner.Try a class! lindsayweirich.teachable.comNEW!

Maybe you have some but are confused about how to get the most out of them. How do you know the best ones to buy and how do you keep them clean?We will go over all of this in today's tutorial!BTW I am offering a 40% discount on my Watercolor Landscape Workshop in honor of Plein Air April: lindsayweirich.teachable.com/p/watercolor-landscape-workshop?coupon_code=PLEINAIR *Use coupon code PLEINAIR if the discount doesn't show up automatically. Offer ends 5/1/24Featured Water-brushes (affiliate links used)All Water brushes on Blick: http://shrsl.com/4hifpI recommend the Derwent and Pentel as the easiest to squeeze and the Niji for the most compact and if you like a more water flow.I do not recommend the Royal & Langnickle brushes because they flood out too much water (they are nice for making glitter or mica watercolor pens tho)Amazon has lots of cheap generic watercolor brush sets and some name brand ones. amzn.to/3UcY7T5There is nothing wrong with most of the generic ones, they can be a bit hard to squeeze tho.Be sure to price compare on the brand names because they are often the same price or less on Blick.Try a class! lindsayweirich.teachable.comNEW!

I Went to 2 REAL Art shops in Portland, ME! See what I Bought! thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich 2024-04-15 | Hi friends! I don't often post haul videos but I had the chance to visit 2 art stores in Portland Maine while visiting my daughter, and I thought it would be fun to see the few things I purchased! We don't have any art stores in my area, the closest thing is a couple of big-box stores that carry the basics (and are very pricy in my opinion) so visiting real art shops with open stock offerings is a treat! What's more, they had singles of some pastels I wanted to try but didn't want to invest in a full set until I knew if I liked them. I will link to the things I bought on Blick because they also have open stock for some of the items and on Amazon because, sometimes the sets are cheaper there.

Another Way to Seal Your Watercolors! (Frugal Friday) thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich 2024-04-12 | I had a couple of jars of home decor liquid wax left over from some chalk paint projects a few years ago. I did not like using it on furniture because you periodically needed to reapply it, hence why I have this leftover. I wondered if there was an artsy use for this stuff and after some experimenting I found one. Protecting your watercolors, painted postcards and art journal pages in lieu of using Dorlands Wax.Pros to this method:It's quick and easyIt is cheap (or free if you have some leftover)It works wellCons:There is a slight cream color to the waxYou must be gentle and use a soft brush so you don't smear your watercolorI don't know if it is archival (Use Dorlands Wax if you need a clear and archival solution)Here are the products I mentioned:Home Decor Wax: amzn.to/3PRnWFLDorlands Wax: http://shrsl.com/4hc14 or amzn.to/4akGaHN*you get 2x the product of home decor wax vs Dorlands wax for the same price.Try a class! lindsayweirich.teachable.comNEW!

Studio Sesh: Comparing Synthetic Quill Brushes thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich 2024-04-01 | I have gathered all of my synthetic quil brushes and my one natural hair quil brush (a gift from about 20 years ago!) and compared them to help you find the right brush for you.The only natural hair quil brush I own is a Winsor Newton Pure Squirrel QuillI will list the brushes most similar to the real squirrel first.Princeton Neptune Quill, available in sizes 4, 6 and 8 (note quil sizing is much larger than standard brush sizes) price ranges from about $19 to $30 on Blick but list price is double that. shrsl.com/4fswsArtegria Quill 2 piece set from Amazon, inexpensive, longer bristles can make control a bit difficult, size 2 and 6. amzn.to/3TiQZULMy Overall Pick: Lightwish quil brush set of 4: I love the sizes in this set (#0#2#4#6) and the response and action in the brush is perfect for me. Great price too! amzn.to/3V33hBNGrabie set of 9: These are the same as the Lightwish (it seem to me anyway!) but honestly there are just too many similar sizes in this set. I'd recommend this if you want to split the set with friends or have extra brushes for travel, Sizes: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8: amzn.to/49LvtgUThe Virbanum art paint set comes with a lovely #4 quill brush, it is attractive and performs well. The bristles are on the longer side. The paint is nice in the set too but it has gone up in price. amzn.to/43fgFVLRoymac Revolution Taklon Quill brushes: they come in even sized 0-10 and are the most expensive brush in today's lineup. They are stiffer and the bristles are dense. They are not what I would look for in a mop brush but if you like a stiffer brush you may enjoy it. This is an Australian brand and will be hard to get elsewhere. https://micador.com.au/products/micador-for-artists-revolution-brushes I like this line of brushes for watercolor in normal styles like flats and rounds. they are more of a faux kolinsky type of brush.These 6 Biaelk travel quills are golden tal=klon snappy brushes that are sized like other travel brushes, a bit smaller than standard brushes. they are very nice but the only similarity to these and quill brushes is the ferrule: amzn.to/42X4qg2Try a class! lindsayweirich.teachable.comNEW!

Another Paul Rubens Watercolor Set? Youlan series artist palette (5th generation) review thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich 2024-03-25 | Paul Rubens has developed another set of artists' watercolors for us to enjoy, this is called the "Youlan series" artist watercolor palette and it says 5th Generation Artists Solid Watercolor on the box. This was sent to me for free to review. The palette is packaged in a screen-printed black and gold (or pink and gold)tin wrapped in a black cloth in a giftable sturdy box. You can find it here: amzn.to/43qGbHwPros:PriceNice color selection (good mixing colors and some unique add ons)Contains a couple granulating colorsContains colbalt and cadium colors (this may be a negative for some)Beautiful packagingColors glaze wellColors mix wellSome colors lift and some stain just as I would expect from a professional quality brandPigment and lightfast info includedSwatch card with pigment info includedCons:I find the browns disappointingBottom line: These remind me the most of the 4th generation artists' tube paints from Paul Rubens: amzn.to/3x85PEH as they seem to be milled very similarly to those (and not as similar to the 4th gen pans.) I really enjoy the Paul Rubens watercolors, as I have mentioned in previous reviews I have been sent some from the brand to review but I have also purchased some with my own money because I think they are one of the best values going in watercolor. I think this set and the 4th generation tube sets are the sheerest offering of the Paul Rubens Pro range but in terms of quality they are all excellent and I recommend choosing the set with the colors you prefer the most. Paul rubens also has some eastern and student ranges so for clarity I will list the sets I recommend for a profession watercolor below.5th generation pan set (reviewed today) amzn.to/3PsksJn4th Generation Tube set: amzn.to/3x85PEHOriginal half pan set: amzn.to/3PpLWiJ There are 2 24 sets that when combined equal the colors in the 48 set. There are also 12 color sets available and metallics that are very nice. *I didn't like the 4th generation half pans as much as the others but they are still good paint: amzn.to/3INhriZTry a class! lindsayweirich.teachable.comNEW!

Frugal Friday Quick Tip! Make Your Scoring Tool Last Longer! thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich 2024-03-22 | In this video, I will show you how to make crisper folds in your cardstock and keep your scoring tool in better working order. I love my Scor-Pal scoring board, the owner of the company is wonderful and I highly recommend their products. This tip will work for any plastic bone folder but I find the the bone folders in the score pal and other scoring boards (like the We R memory keepers envelope and bag makers for instance) are similar and may go dull or be too blunt for scoring heavyweight cardstock.Full Size 1/8" increments Scor-Pal: (sold out on Amazon but Spellbinders has it) http://shrsl.com/4gre6Metric version: amzn.to/3VuRgoVScor-Buddy: amzn.to/43vhVnF*EK Success has a similar board in full size and mini: amzn.to/3Ts5YdN(affiliate links used)Directions:Drag the tip of the scoring tool over sandpaper at an angle until you have restored sharpness to the bone folder end. Test on cardstock and repeat until you have the desired sharpness. You may use a finer git sandpaper to polish the end if it seems too sharp or scratchy.Try a class! lindsayweirich.teachable.comNEW!
