it's here!! my video for my mixed media canvas. bam.

 

i'm so happy i: 

a. have a hub who's mcGyver-like and build me a camera-to-tape-my-work;
b. managed to tape myself creating this canvas;
c. managed to edit it in imovie;
d. managed to get my favorite songs from Caro Emerald in it! (she's awesome isn't she?);
e. really really like my end result. BAM.

it's in fast forward mode, because it was too long. and you need to stay focused. right? right.

i cannot lie. i like my first video. it's not perfect. but so am i and so is my work. i mostly wanted to create this video to show you how i create. to maybe get some fears of starting for some of you out of the way. to just start and see what happens. to say "bye bye perfection". to give yourself permission to play. to let you realise: everybody can create! O YES.

let me know what you think. feedback is very welcome. as long as you stay nice. bwaha. 

life is good. o YES IT IS.

Wow Revlie wat een super video!!
Ik ben zoals ze zeggen het "ongeduldige type" maar je hebt me weten te boeien.

Die hele mixed media is eigenlijk toch simpeler dan het lijkt!
Gewoon maar beginnen dan :)

This was great! I loved watching your process, and seeing all those layers develop. My little girls loved your music--they are 3 and 4 years old, and were dancing around with their stuffed animals while I watched you work! Great canvas.

That was worth all 20-something minutes! It was wonderful and just perfect for beginners like me, with boundless imagination but that little hesitation between the thought and the actual process. Now I know all about gel medium and when to use it. I LOVE fabric on the canvas. So cool. Thank you greatly!!
