- This week I am taking you along on my side quests as an artist. This is what a week in the life of a part time artist can look like. Every week is different! We will also be making a ski themed surreal collage, framing some stickers to complete a gallery wall, paint for an afternoon, and much more!
This week was an exciting time after my journey to visit family in England.

Those Oxford Compact Dictionaries are quite the collectors item for bibliophiles! My boyfriend is an English professor and absolutely freaked when he relieved some secondhand ones for Christmas last year. They typically come in a box with a magnifying glass so you can actually read the text.
Another wonderfully inspiring video - just seeing some of the images you have collected has sparked the urge to create in me :)
Wow, really?! Because I have a set that my father bought in the late 2000s, with their box. I think the magnifying glass is still at my mom's house. My understanding is that they were fairly expensive when he bought them, though. It was one of those things he bought just because he wanted them and my mom thought was a frivolous purchase.
I could use the magnifying glass that is for sure 😂 it's gotta be 4 pt font!
I'm so glad you were inspired ❤️😁
I love the humor and/or subtle messages in your pieces. I like the idea of doing an art residency at home. I think that could be fun and inspiring!
Sweet mini-framed stickers. I enjoy mini-collages and find myself doing those often (roughly post card size) because they are less daunting and seem to come together quicker for me.
So much stuff left at that abandoned house! So sad that people left so much of their life behind and wonder what the story is... but glad you are giving new life to some interesting finds.
Thank you so much 😊❤️
I agree with the artist residency being an interesting solo experience! When I started this channel I did my own art residency to plan out what I wanted to do, maybe I can do something like that 😜
I love postcard size too! I agree I can pop out a couple of them in one sitting and I love that! It's an easy way to get out of creative block.
It was stuffed!! And apparently this is after multiple garage sales, open to the neighborhood to take what they want, and I'm sure many people like myself. I'm excited to see what the art installation ends up looking like though!
Just a quick tip on the guillotine cutter especially when cutting thin magazine paper: gently put a bit of pressure toward the board while pressing down to make the cut. Clarification: press to your left and down at the same time. It makes the contact with the blade and metal edge tight so you get a nice clean and straight cut. I hope this makes sense.
That makes perfect sense, thanks for the tip!!! I guess I shoulda practiced with scraps instead of using a brand new artwork with it 🤣
Oooh the books, the books... Love your kits. I was so jealous of the abandoned house, I just love finding stuff people have gotten rid of and I have far too much paper all over the house. I would have had to take piles of them. Where there are nice things on the back of pages I scan them for later. I like to print them on tissue, watercolour paper. Whatever matches what I'm working on. Enjoyed your video and a new subscriber.
They were such a great score! And what an incredible experience. Everytime I get the experience to go into a home like this I say it's "a once in a lifetime opportunity" and now it's happened to me several times 🤣
Really cool idea printing onto other papers to give texture 😌
Sorry to hear about the Residency being cancelled,but I think creating your own one would be a great idea. That first colage was meant to be for sure, as soon as you cut out the woman's hand I could see the finished piece straight away,it would make a great print as well. The abadoned house was a real treasure trove,a rare oppertunity to gather new materials to use in your amazing collages and it looks like a great place to stage an immersive art event/happening/exhibition. The stickers were perfect for the two miniature frames as well for your gallery wall. Hope you are felling better as well,can empathise with the migraine,no fun for sure, but hope you are okay now.

I know, I'm so sad 😭 but I do think it's an interesting opportunity to do the same project just in my own way 😌
I'm glad you could see it, so could I! It was made with two papers I've seen for months now, I could feel my subconscious putting it together I knew it was meant to be, I agree I feel like it would make a great print for a ski chalet 😁
I'm glad you enjoyed the abandoned house, hopefully I'm able to use the materials!
Thanks I am feeling better now! So rough tho!
Thanks for your comment ❤️
you can freeze the books (inside bags) if you are worried about bugs
It makes sense but my freezer is full 😂 I'll have to try it at some point.
Loved this video Leah. Lots of interesting things to see. I can't wait for my collage papers to arrive. I'm so excited to see what I get! Enjoy your weekend x Nell.
I hope they come soon!!! 🤞 Can't what for you to explore them.
What does Flanzilla mean?
I made it up as a business name when I registered my art practice as a business 😁 it's a play on my last name.
@@flanzella Oh! Thanks for sharing!
