“remember that you are still an artist, even when you don’t make art” makes me feel so much better ahhh! I’ve been in an art block for so long now and feel like I’ve just been doing crafts to fill the void. I needed that

Thank you for watchingggg!! I think I finally know how to pronounce linocut lol. Hope you like the viddy ❤

i find myself not doing art or not finishing pieces because I don't see a vision of what I want it to look like as a final piece. I'm too self-critical at the ugly phase of a piece. Seeing you carve out time for art and fighting to not give up on your art despite being self-critical is very awe-inspiring. Gives me hope that one day I can too. Your videos are grounded and real. Keep up the great content.

you inspired me to finally pick up a pencil and draw again. it's been a long time since i did that

Clay artist here 🙋🏽‍♀️ I got SO excited when you said you were going to sculpt something! Your incense holder is superrrrrrr cute, great job!!!! 🥰🙌🏽

I am a polymer clay artist and this was a joy to watch you make your incense holder. I love it!!!

I love the comic and the way that you brainstormed about improving it! It was really cool to see how you solve a creative problem like that :))

I’m glad I was able to capture it!! Definitely is pretty typical for me to have re-dos :)

as a creative id say its a good thing to be critical with ones work thats how real artists are and how a good product comes out keep it up.

Your experience for the first day is so telling. In the daytime, it was like "oh I'm going to sit down and make art", and it probably puts a subtle yet present subconscious pressure to create in that way. I realize now that I do this to myself all the time. Yet, when you were chilling in bed at nighttime, you happened upon something you found interesting/provided inspiration, and the art that flowed out of you then was more spontaneous and "organic", in a sense. I also feel inspired to create and have generally higher energy at night! That's when the spontaneous shit happens.

I'm not an artist and not a crafty person ,how I really wish I was, I think I was born without a talent😅 but I just love watching your videos. It feels therapeutic for me ❤

buying new gamblin paints is the greatest feeling of all time ❤️❤️😊

Your Videos are my safe place ❤

Yay! I love seeing you dabble in other art projects! I have a tip for linocut! Always cut away from you, never towards yourself (I’ve had many booboo’s) and hold the tool overhand with your finger above the base of the blade so it’s easier to guide and get more precise cuts! 😊 Happy Printing!

Incredible comic strip

This was so entertaining to watch!!! One thing about polymer clay you need to keep in mind is that if you are doing it in the oven you also bake in, you should air it out until the smell is really gone as the fumes are hella toxic

Loved this vid! I feel like your videos inspire me so much to find the balance between curiosity/fun/playtime and taking art seriously. It's so lovely seeing you in your element! 👩🏻‍🎨🎨🌈💖✨

cute incense holder!!!

Since you've mentioned how much you love The Artist's Way I would hiiiiighly recommend Art & Fear by David Bayles. It's quite similar and it's amazing and I love it so much!!!! It's so good for when you need to feel inspired and less self conscious or afraid about making art.

I'm doing my nails while I watch!

I'm crocheting while watching your vlog. ❤

This Video was amazing!! Thank you :D Also the incense holder is sooo cuuuute 💙

Can’t wait to buy the sad duck print

Totally agree! I think it’s good to have some “just for fun” creative time as adults :)

Loved this! I’ve been in a rut for so long and finally started creating art again. This has inspired me to dig out some supplies and get crafty. Linocut is my favourite! I loved your cat print ❤️ although ngl it did stress me out a little when you were carving towards ur fingers aha 😬

Love watching your videos! I finally starting pursuing art more frequently this year and it has been a challenge haha You inspire me!!

I was eating pizzA for breakfast. And then I did a little drawing of a Duck too. Start the day with a little piece of Art.

I've been getting into polymer clay too! It's so rough keeping it remotely clean esp w/ white or lighter color clays loll a struggle. And I am inspired to try linocut now the prints are so so cute!!!

My creative brain wakes up super late at night, too! My favourite doodles are done at like 10pm - 1am (or until I pass out with sleepiness haha). Why is that?? Haha

I'm so proud of you being so consistent with your videos and I found this video so fun. Makes me want to paint and draw more.

I love your enthusiasm every time you try something new! It's so refreshing and inspiring!

i loved this video! sometimes i feel so overwhelmed at my ideas and take the planning process so seriously that i end up too intimidated to start. this reminded me to just get up and do it and not take it so seriously sometimes! i loved all the art you made in this video. can't wait to see the bob ross!

i love this video! love using new materials and mediums for art! Just a little tip for the lino-cut printing, use a THICK piece of glass or an acrylic sheet to roll out the ink on first, it wont absorb the ink and means you will get a more even coat of ink on your roller :)

Hi Gabi, which iPad you have? ☺️

I love the way you will try anything - you don't have that inner censor that I have that tells me not to do something for one reason or another - good for you! - but I did just volunteer to make a collage for the local library children's room and I have NO IDEA what I'm doing - but the more I get into it, the more I like it - and finally, you are so down to earth - no art jargon and stuff - I loved the "Rolly rolly roll" line - that's exactly what it is! - and now, back to my collage ....

love your channel-- i dont believe in coincidences. maybe ducks are your spirit animal for a reason: "Ducks are especially interesting in that they are creatures who are comfortable in all the material realms; Earth, Sky and Sea. The Triad, being the number of the whole as it contains the beginning, a middle and an end. The power of three is universal and is the tripartide nature of the world as heaven, earth, and waters. It is human as body, soul and spirit. Indo-European mythologies represented the diverse fields of application of the divine power by endowing the gods with three heads. Hinduism recognizes the trimūrti, a figure with three faces on the same head, representing Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva; in other words, the creating, preserving, and destroying power of the divine One."

Please know that you shouldn't bake polymer clay in same oven you cook food in. Toxic chemicals. Best bet is a toaster oven used exclusively for baking clay. Please be safe! ❤

i just read from the Sculpey website that polymer clay is safe to bake in an oven that you bake normal food in as long as you wash the oven periodically with baking soda and water :)

@2:25 - Honestly? A little disappointed that you didn't pursue working on the sketch of the girl instead. Ik you're just starting on this journey so sticking to your comfort zone probably feels better but like idk i think you should try to push yourself some more.
