This video about 94 year old painter Hy Snell made me laugh (What’s an abstract?) and cry at the same time- beautiful video – and so many great things are being said in here:
“I am 94 and 1/2 years old and I am still painting wonderful pictures”…what is not to love about this! ?
Hugs
Nat
Absolutely fell in love with the song and the animation in this video “The Lion – Benjamin Scheuer/Escapist Papers” Awesome job!!!
have a wonderful smiling day :)
Nat
Nathalie,
Hello from Scotland!
I’m so glad that you like our video for “The Lion.” The song is part of a show called “THE BRIDGE” that I’m performing every evening from July 31-August 26th 2013, at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival here in Scotland.
Details and tickets on my website.
All my very best wishes,
Benjamin Scheuer
Love, Love, LOVE!!!!!! The song, the story, the animation!! I have an almost unhealthy love of cardboard, and this is SPECTACULAR!!!
I so loved this. Thank you for sharing.
fabulous Nat. the whole cycle of animation is wonderful and so clever
All day i will be repeating than tune (on my head) Great details worked with scissors and cardstock!…TFP
Fabulous video and now I have a great little tune in my head and a smile upon my face.
Thank you,
Donna
I especially like that most of it appears to be made out of cardboard.
Clever song and story.
WOW that was a real treat! Meaningful, clever, happy endings exists when you write them yourself with intention. Thanks so much for sharing this.
How touching!! Amazing work!
Mwah…..wonderful way to start my day!!!
I loved this video by Wriggles & Robbins – so much fun to see the drawings from different angles and also come to live.
Attention: This 1 minute video contains nude-drawings. If you have a problem with this, you might be better off looking at something else 
. Don’t email me to complain, don’t visit my blog anymore because I might post things like this again and I really don’t care if you have a problem with this and for sure do not let your kids watch this if it is a problem for you!

Hope you like it as much as I do.
Have a gorgeous day

Nat
Loved the video! It was coooool!
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!
Brilliant – very clever idea – loved it lol Susiesu xx
Show videos of this quarlity whenever you can! I will watch them all………..
Very cool video! I’d love to draw like that too, but I am my own kind of artist!
How cool!!!
Thanks for sharing! I LOVE your disclaimer though, I had to LOL when I read it ;))
hugs to you!!
Oh, to be able to draw like that…….truly great art! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome video, thanks for sharing it!
Peace,
Donna
Okay, that was just too cool! TFS
Beautiful and Fantastic!!
Wow…the woman just dances before us…like Michelle said…like a flip book (which I’ve always loved).
What a great video! I loved it! Thanks for sharing.
I love how the drawings came alive like an old fashioned flip book…very cool! Thanks for sharing…
Super cool — even understanding the concept of how they morphed the different drawing angles together, the result still defies logic. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Nathalie, what a great great video! It iis as much art as are the artists painting!
Greatings, Wanda
The image of this window with some landmarks of Hamburg kept coming up when I was sketching things in my art journal and on my iPad. So I figured it was time to finally just put it on a canvas.
Here is a FAST Forward Movie of the Making off (it is not a step by step tutorial- although most steps are extensively in there ;) ) – I hope you enjoy it. I have a List of all Supplies used below
I had lot’s of fun playing with the new Liquitex Professional Paint Markers – loved that there are so many ways to use them and the colors are just to die for .

If you want to learn different techniques for art journals and mixed media canvases using Acrylic Paints, Gesso or Acrylic Inks come and take my Über*Media Online Workshops.
Oh my goodness, Nat, I love watching you create! I could sit and watch your videos all day long and just soak up your creativity. Please create more videos and never stop! LOL! Looking forward to “Jumping” again!
I loved watching your process, seeing your artwork come to life, Nat! So cool to see you make choices while adding different layers of media to the piece. Love it!
Always love watching your process!! Paint markers, mmh!
Love the canvas!! I love videos.
Brilliant! Much fun! Yes..you can make more :)
Hi, Nat! i love the music used! it goes with the theme. Pls., continue with these kind of fast forward videos….they keep me awake!… lovely idea…TFS!
Loved it, Nathalie! The paint markers look fun. More fast forward videos would be great. TFS! Did you title your canvas, “Starry Starry Night in Hamburg”? :)
Beautiful canvas! The video was alot of fun to watch so yes to more!!
Thank you very much for this video! very simplicity do wonderful work! I love these videos fast forward! thank you!
So much fun! I love the music. And you are so talented. Thanks for sharing your process.
I loved watching this. It is great to see the way you show and name the products so that we have most of our questions answered before we even need to ask them. Thanks, Ami
Oh, Nat, I can’t tell you how helpful this type of video is for me, as a newbie mixed media person! Seeing how you pull it all together really helps me to ‘get it’. And love your finger work! Can’t wait to try this out in my art journal!
Yes, Please more videos! Thank You!
Yes please do more of these videos! And are there faces in the windows? Love this whole thing! Thanks Nathalie!
Ann, no faces- but uhhh- what a fun idea! :) Nat
So fun! I love seeing backgrounds! I love how you did yours. I am too ocd and need to lay the pieces very straight and even. I need to learn to let go!
Must have paint markers!
Wow, can you teach me how to make my hands work that fast Nat? LOL
Thank you for the morning entertainment! Your final canvas is fabulous and I love the music!
Oh, imagine the fun you could have with those paint markers!! Never seen them before, but there’s another thing added to the looooooong list of arty desires. They look cool! Great canvas, too! Looks great. Can’t wait to see what you might do with it. x
very cute video… I’ve seen these paint markers in my art supply store – they look interesting, but I don’t know what to do with them. I’d love to see more fast-forward videos!
Here we go again. I am so so so excited :)
After last year’s success of Creative JumpStart I decided to organize it again. We had about 4.500 subscribers last year! It was so much fun! So here is the scoop about it:
January is approaching–a month that is full with promises, resolutions and intentions. A month that for many is following lots of holiday celebrations, family gatherings and other end-of-the-year events.
It’s also time to start creating again. But suddenly there it is for some of us: that lost feeling on how to start. Here is the cure
I invited a group of wonderful, inspiring and creative ladies and gentlemen from around the globe in the mixed media and scrapbooking world to join together for the Creative Jump Start Summit 2013. We are coming together to show you some ways to get back into the creative groove and how to get your creative juices flowing. We want to share with you “3 Ways to …” help you jump-start your creativity in 2013.
Let me show you who is participating:
[vimeo 56193517 w=400 h=300]
Here’s what you get and how it works:
So come on—get inspiration from some of the most creative people in the community. Only 11 more days till we start :)
What are you waiting for? (Did I mention it’s FREE?)
Nat

The last video says I will announce the winners in mid february. so please be patient!
Hi
Thanks for all your hard work creating the Creative Jumpstart. Just wondering how we know who won all the wonderful prizes? Did you contact the winners individually?

For my guest designer spot with Maya Road this month I created this 12 x 12 canvas using lots of Chipboard Doorways, Maya Mists, and Gesso.
I created a video sharing how I made this canvas:

So love those colors :)
And I totally love those doors…yum yum!
Hope you enjoyed the tutorial :)

P.S.: psst
When I first saw the Maison de fees papers I knew what I would like to do with them. A wallhanging. For the base I used the corrugated cardstock from the Couleur de Artiste Collection- man that quality is serously the bomb! NO kidding!
Als ich die Maison de Fees Papiere das erste Mal sah, wußte ich gleich, dass ich ein Wandbild damit machen wollte. Für die Basis habe ich ein wenig Wellpapen-Cardstock aus der Couleur de Artiste Kollektion verwendet- mann die Qualität ist echt der Hammer! Echt!

Thanks for the video, Nat! That men reminded me of my dad. He was still dancing three days before he fell sick and passed away three months after that. He was 99 yo, just five months short of his 100th birthday. He taught me to always laugh at life. I can hardly wait to see him again!

I always love the videos that you post Nat.
This one is especially wonderful.
“I don’t have time to tell you what an abstract is, I’m busy working.”
Priceless.

All the videos you post helps me to grow, I can’t get the noise out of my head of the metal faces being walked upon. Still go back and watch the Lion and listen to the words. Love to hear the music Hy is singing! You never fail to bring us great video to watch.
