Hi Ker,thank you for sharing your Christmas treasures and love your ink over watercolour ideas...as for glue don't forget to try the Bostik glue stick with the cute gecko on it, that I have recommended before..XX

I have NOT forgotten 😉 🤓 As I said, I had a pack in my Amazon cart, however, they were only the little ChapStick-sized sticks and I really prefer the larger ones. After using the bigger size for so long, the little ones feel like 1) it takes me FOREVER to apply and 2) I'm going through three sticks a day, hahhahah I keep looking for it in the bigger size and will jump on it when I find it. I'm testing three different kinds right now and would LOVE to try the almond-scented Coccoina brand....but ooooo-weeee, tiz' pricy. BUT it comes in small and large sticks, and even a brush on tin/jar version. Made in Italy. Doesn't that just sound scrumptious? I have heard on good authority that it's really good glue too. That's a bonus 😂🤣😂

Love your. Xmas stuff., this glue situation is frustrating to say the least. Thx for sharing

I've decided that it was a bunch of counterfeit Scotch glue and the real stuff is THE best, but now it's like trying to buy Unicorn Eggs 😂🤣😂 just another leg of the junk journal adventure and I'm having fun testing out all kinds of glues. Gives me an excuse to keep ordering from Amazon, 🤪🤑🤡

Thanks!

Awww thanx so kindly, always good to see you Harmony 🎨🤓

I never thought I would need a book light, but I was just thinking about choosing a large print book over a regular print book and I opted for the regular size print because I don’t want to get dependent on the large print and I think the extra light would be helpful. I do like how it’s rechargeable. I discovered a few years back that using an ink pen over watercolor really makes it pop. And I’m like you I like the fine line but I do like a fine line fountain pen best for that. Your demonstration is going to open a lot of eyes and make watercolor more fun for your viewers! I don’t use the fountain pen exclusively because sometimes I just need to pick up what is handy. but I like your pens because of how they write! Soo smoooooth! The Stabilo colors look like very fun to use, I’m glad you tested them because I thought they worked differently. Your oil pastels do have a beautiful sheen to them. I had to laugh at your statement to remember to use them because that’s my problem. I have some wonderful art tools that are stowed nice and neatly into drawers that I never think about using because I’ve completely forgotten about them. I concur with everything you’ve said about the glue sticks! I don’t mind gluing extra like you need to with the Moore, to get a really good stick but I think it’s one of the better ones that I’ve used and I still like my Avery even though it may not stick for a lifetime. Don’t tell anybody but sometimes I’m happy that some items come up because I will steal something out of an old book to use it fresh somewhere else ha ha but generally when I’m enjoying looking through an old glue book, or old chunky junky, I usually have a glue stick handy to stick down edges. I am the worst gluer ever, I work fast and furious, and sometimes glue quite haphazardly. Ha ha! This has been a fun watch and I’m glad to see how all your new goodies work. I’ll be ordering probably the book light and the eraser. I like the pencil marks very much but it would be nice to be able to sketch freely and then take out the bulk of the Graphite.

Yes outta' sight outta' mind, as they say...I think I just need to have a schedule: Today is: Stamps day Crayons day Stencils day Fancy papers day Etc. in order to make sure there's no tool/toy/supply left behind. For sure. Ohhhh, I LOVE my little light. I haven't used it that much so no idea on how long the battery lasts, but it's a smart little bugger. I remember you recommending Avery a long while back and ordered a six-pack, I'll be giving "my take" on the three different kinds I'm playing with now (the replacements for the 12-pack of Moore that I DID send back). So far so good 👍🏼

Good morning Ker! 💚🖤💜 Love your bracelets! Ooooh this is awesome, I’m excited to see you test all of these goodies. You know I’ll watch however many parts this series is, whether it’s 2,3 or 100 lol! 😂 Wowwwww I absolutely love seeing your ink and watercolor pieces, they are gorgeous! 😍 Love how the cityscape is like it’s appearing out of the mist, sooooo cool. I’ve been wanting a glass dip pen so it’s very exciting to see you give it a go. Perhaps you could do some videos on calligraphy for left-handed artists/journalers as you mentioned there seems to be an absence of that sort of thing? (you know, fit it in along with your 1,000 other projects? 😂) Totally agree about loving seeing pencil marks on watercolor pieces. The metallic oil pastels are so much fun. Woohoo I was hoping that you would try them on black - that’s where they really…. “shine”! 😉✨ Really appreciate the in-depth review of the glue sticks. I’ve been wanting to try Gloo and see how that works - have you ever used it? (the only thing is the reviews say it smells like baby powder and I’m not sure I would like that?) I would LOVE to see you watercolor! Reviews of watercolor paints, paper, brushes and then to see you create some magic on paper - that would be awesome! 🎨🖌 And books too - YES please! Thank you for a lovely morning, always love to have a cup of coffee and chill with you! Sending lots of cozy love and hugs to you and the sweet Miss Bitsy from Sophia and I! 🐶✨💕💕

Goooood morning ☕️☀️🍄 Thanx so much for hanging out for this long one. True friends there, for sure, lol. I have had to stop looking at analytics/average watch time, it's downright depressing 😖🫢 I feel I must say that little wc book is just play, it's certainly not my best work. "junk" to my mind, hahhaha. But thank you for the compliment. I got the girls dip pens for Christmas and they love them too, one said, she's obsessed with it, hahhaha. Do you use those metallic crayons? Have any tips? Ugh, smelling like baby powder makes me think "smells like diapers" 🤢🤮 Hahhah, I did the paint try-me, but the camera stopped half-way through and I had no idea...so I finished the video (swatching out the colors etc.) and at least half wasn't recorded. 🙄😖 AND--bonus, I completely forgot to use the new brushes. OMG OMG OMG, how is THAT possible?? Life's such a trip. I'll see if I can get something post-able out with what did record, lol. Lotsa love n hugs to you and the Beautiful Sophia from the Adorable Bits n me 🐸🦔🌱 (I'm working on making use of more of the emojis we have, lol)

Awww little Ridley 🐾 Oh stationery and art supplies ! Loving all the testing, the little stabilo’s are so cute, we bought some a little longer than those and they have just kept going ( 10 years ago ) I love how the ink stays I. The little glass channels, interesting. Have fun playing. ( are the oil pastels very smudgy ) 💜

My little Super Hero he was 💙💔💙 The oil crayons don't "move" much at all, but sort of melt in place and get more metallic with a finger-smudge technique.

Probably so, I've just put a piece of tracing paper in between the pages where I've used them.
