Hahahahaha yeah

Immaculate

I was thinking the same thing. Lol

Josh Has Too Many Hobbies : Your youtube name is too perfect! I can relate

Just like Jazza when he tries something new and says its not going to be good, turns out practically perfect

😂 Right?

My black cat /familiar passed last year and took half my hear with him. I understand how you feel.

I'm so sorry you lost your little one. it just tears your heart out for weeks/months. They really are our children. We lost our Aria in May. We couldn't get her to an open vet clinic in time(thanks covid-19) to heal her, just aid her in going over the rainbow bridge.

I'm so sorry for you loss. This video and your comment made me chase and hug my cat's.

I still think I see her sometimes, watching from a dark corner. Her favorite place to hide was always in plain site ❤. Her surviving companion cat just had a front leg amputated two weeks ago, and it's almost like she's checking in on us sometimes. (He's doing really well post surgery but it's been rough)

I'm sorry for your loss. Yesterday I lost my black and white best friend and family member due to chronic renal failure, and this video passed me by, so my heart is yearning even more.

Right. 😂 I love her so much. Truly an inspiration. ❤

a true artist

SHE REALLY IS THO

I wish i had half her talent!!!

@@lindsaykuzia5038 Me too! 😂

That's the next episode lol

Lol, you're not far off. She built a tongue-and-groove frame from scrap wood and then stretched the canvas on it herself!

And she'll manage it perfectly in about 3 days.

Did you hear the hint that she might be buying the new house? I hope that's right. I absolutely adore this one. I'd love to buy it, but I know she will loosen her magic in the next venture as well and we'll be blown away, yet again, by her witchery.

hahaha so very true!

sameee

Totally ynexpectedly

Yes, I did

I definitely felt emotional and I'm not even a cat person!

Yes. Uncontrollably! 😭 i lost my cat about a year ago! Her words may have made me cry but also helped me realize this will be how my reunion with my sweet lil guy will be.

Absolutely me.

Sarah Ciani agree!!!

But sooo lucky for us because now we get even more diverse continuity, and she has complete executive control over her creativity. Without having to exhaust herself Plus she gives out gifts of her creations to her followers, which is just awesome! Their mistake 🤷‍♀️

To be honest I think that the content Christine creates for this channel (and the private videos for her Patreon supporters) is infinitely superior to the Netflix series (no annoying muppets for one thing). This way Christine gets to do her own thing as and when she wants and it all feels more relaxed and natural as a result.

They canceled a lot of good shows that still have a cult following. The OA was another one that made me upset. I think the creator and cast found out it was canceled while they were working on season 3.

I like these videos more than her show. It's so personal, and way more magical. I am in awe of her creativity.

I think a lot more talented, more versatile and not boring to watch or listen to. Great sense of style...true to her craft.

She’s amazing

What an awesome description!!!! Lol. Totally.

I was fine, a twinge in my heart here and there until those words. Now I'm a blubbering mess, wih a husband looking at me with concern. Mr. Biggles is most assuredly waiting with my Scarlett, for both of us. Thank you for sharing him and yourself with us.

@@MindyMaeCrochets same here...my Frenchie is 12.5yrs old & been quite ill. I cannot fathom life without her but her time will draw near. I wonder sometimes why I choose to have pets when we have to lose them eventually :'(

I literally welled up hearing those last few words. Having lost a pet three years it still resonates so hard with me.

@@MindyMaeCrochets I realised what it was about in the middle and got emotional and then those words at the end pushed me over the edge. I can't handle pets dying!

@@ahmoseh3718 right. My very first dog died of cancer 3 years ago and it still hurts. I've had her since I was 9 and she died my sophomore year of college. The way she died still sticks with me cause it wasn't all that peaceful. My dad got me a another dog and I love him very much but I can't help but think that one day he's gonna die. Having him has definitely helped with my depression but when he eventually passes I don't think I will get another pet after him. But I am so grateful for the time we get to spend with our pets and the happiness they bring

There is no hate for someone who has that many.. Cats are like chips.. you can not just have one...

I have 6- all ferals that I caught & tamed. Good for them & good for the environment - 6 fewer cats decimating the bird population. They're very loving & thankful, moreso than housecats.

Excellent description

Exactly this! Part of why I love it is because her presented fiction doesn't toss aside the darker aspects of fantasy, but still keeps the elegant beautiful "pinkness" of it all. Maybe thats a poor description of the rosy world view, but I think it fits too, lol.

Nah, she's just a relative (? or something like that) of Taliesin Jaffe

Dang sorry for your loss.

Right? If she is not an expert, I am barely slime that has slithered from the primordial ooze.

thats what experts say to lower the bars of expectations, then you see it and you are amazed

Damonnnn! Didn’t expect to find you here

Exactly my thoughts! Lol.

it's her 10th oil painting, but do mind that she has done countless hours of other form of art including baking, carpentry, and certainly a lot of medium of art that is certainly sharpen her art senses / vision and tempered her hand. If you have done the same, than you can compare yourself to her. If you do put down the hours, maybe you need a better source of knowledge, sometimes it's a game changer. Comparison is not always healthy tho keep it on balance level.

Same

She is an immensely talented person.

Could be her 10th oil but has done over 200 watercolours or acrylics. A lot of sour girls in high-school art got really bothered when I was decent at painting in oils first time. But I'd been doing loads of acrylic paintings before that in class when we had a choice of medium and also at home. Transferable skills and all that. Practicing like hell with other art/drawing/painting types tends to pay off.

Yeah honestly. She puts so much love into her videos.

Yup. 1000% agreed. Pure and unfiltered talent. The kind of talent that is so rare.

I know right? I'm SO Jealous.. then I think about the time and work behind achieving that talent and huuuumm Well .. .lol

Agreed. It literally NEVER ceases to amaze me.

Who is the woodcarver? I’d like to watch

That's so beautiful, poetic indeed. Maybe that's where we're all going. 'Home', like Christine says.

When I lost my little kitty, I was inconsolable until I convinced myself that she is just somewhere else where I can't be yet.

I needed to hear those words... such a lovely way to put it

Woven fabric has a warp and a weave, perpendicular threads interwoven. That gives it a grain and a bias. Fabric stretches on the bias, but if you tear it on the grain, it speeds down the fabric. In a loosely woven fabric, then you will be able to pull away a single thread the length of the tear.

Don't try it on a knit, lol.

The first time I saw someone do that...I freaked out!!! LOL... I was so upset that I asked for measurements...like top to bottom and sideways. The fabric must have been sitting on a shelf in that warehouse for "some time" cuz I'm seeing dust and shredded fibers all over the place. You know something??? If you are immune compromised...wear a mask while shopping in fabric warehouses. All kinds of nasty inhaled irritants like those that can set off an asthma attack.

It's actually not the best way to cut fabric or straighten the grain because it stretches the threads and disfigures the weave in the torn area. The best way to cut the fabric is the old fashioned way--with scissors--and then straighten the grain using the one thread across technique.

@@christinagould6765 That wastes a lot fabric unless your cutting on the straight of the grain, but you're right, if it's a pattern, you should cut.

People in past generations really embraced or accepted death and lived with it as a reality far more than we do today. Goth is sort of a continuation of that. My grandmother wore black exclusively after a very dear relative died and stayed in black. In the old days they kept the corpse in the house until the funeral. Death wreath marked the door so that neighbors knew to be respectful of the grief of the family within. People made memento Mori and saved hair and other beloved objects. On the flip side there is this: Recently my friend lost her beloved father. Her downstairs neighbors in her garden apartment already had a gruesome Halloween display featuring a hanging corpse right outside of her door. Out of respect for her loss I believe thst they should have taken it down, but they didn't. Also they played spooky music and had corpses digging their way out, inflatables and other things. I felt so sorry for her to have to move the corpse out of her way when she would come and go to make arrangements for his funeral. These days we get it over with fast and just move on.

So true that "a gothic wisdom beckons us" ❤️

@@TuckerSP2011 On top of that, ppl today fear death and bc of our progress in extending life through modern knowledge, medicine, and technology, people think they will be young forever and focus on being immortal rather than leaving a legacy or enjoying the limited time you have. It's honestly quite sad.

Glad someone talks about Gothic so highly. I'm in love with Lady Gothic for years, all sides of her. Style, art, philosophy, movies, music, every side of her.

Standing in my kitchen crying like a baby over my sink of dishes 😭

RIIIIGHT????!!! I long to see some of my sweet pets who have gone before me. Such beautiful tribute.

Me too. I have always thought my pets would be the first ones to greet me when I cross over.

I managed to hold it together until the end. Now I’m a mess.

I believe she hasn't (yet) built a nuclear reactor but yeah, pretty much!

coolcat8b yea not that we know of, only god knows what she does in her free time 😂😂😂

HOW IS SHE NOT AN EXPERT THOUGH SHE CAN DO ANYTHING I WOULDNT BE SUPRUSED IF SHE COULD WALK ON WATER

@@phoebebonner3271 any "great" artist (in the public's eye) will always say that they're not an expert. An expert to some could mean, "alright I know everything there is to know about this!" But really with any form of art there is always something knew to learn. So a smart artist will always strive to learn more. If that makes any sense :P I feel like I was randoming

@@phoebebonner3271 Haha-so true! I admire this woman far, far too much to be jealous of her, but like M. Poppins she is "practically perfect in every way!" I love her even though I feel like a Pintrest fail every time I watch:(

a slightly gothic version :)

I went to school for painting and I would say the only things she did that aren’t traditional painting steps are the fact that she drew the whole painting out before she painted it and the fact that she painted the thinned paint over the fat. The first rule is not really a rule (I don’t think), but more of a preference and some artists do sketch out the whole painting...but as you become a better artist you sketch less and mark out the painting with rough sketches using paint and complete a monochromatic underpainting and use that as a guide.. The second is pretty much a rule...and she did it half right. The rule is called “fat over lean”. You start the first layers of a painting with paint (fat) thinned with gamsol (lean) and then the final layers will consist of paint (fat) mixed with linseed oil (fat). This rule prevents the painting from cracking. However, the most important rule I learned in school was that once you know the rules, you can break them! It looks like she painted the oils directly on to the canvas without a thinning agent for her base layer, which would make it extremely difficult to achieve this level of detail. I was really impressed. However, since the bottom layer is just oil paint, it is just fat and the upper layer is fat as well...so I am not exactly sure how that will age. Anyway, all this art school shit aside, when I saw the final piece I was literally blown away. She was so modest! That painting was by far better than 90% of the paintings I saw in my painting classes! Hahaha

It would be cool to have a group where we can group our money to pay the state make this a museum of arts and craft.

😂😂😂

Lol

Yes ha ha vampire! My family's theory too! 💘🦇

She is like a white magic witch.. Beautiful and kind.

me too

she might just not be an expert or not have papers that could state she is one , saying she's humble is bullshit , no one trully is , and no one should be , because no one should not fully apreciate themselves , know your worth

Hope you feel better soon, you deserve it

@@kate_meara Thanks

Please hang in there. You will get through this. I’m a total stranger and I care. 🖤

Hang in there, you've got this. Christine's content always makes me feel calmer about the world. Glad she's got a little community going on, here. Stay safe! ✌🏻

I’ve been there. You are important and loved by people. Reach out, feel better soon ❤️

U took the words RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH!!! lol

💜💜💜

I'm so sorry for your loss!

So sorry sweetie. *hugs*

I’m so sorry. They really do become our children.

Prayers to ease your pain💗! Fur-children are kids with 4 legs instead of two...And they become family💗! It hurts the soul when we lose a furbaby! They love unconditional unlike many humans...They really do take care of humanity if we would give them credit!

💖💕

I hear You .. I was inconsolable when David Bowie died ...so glad You saw this and it ignited The Flame of Passion to create again

I know how you feel. Every time I have a lost a pet it tears me up inside and it's hard for some people to understand how much love we have for them and how much they loved us. Bella lives on in your memories. I hope you enjoy the process of painting your beloved.

I do hope you do try to make one. I have started to work on a painting of my recently departed pet, but am taking my time with it. I am so sorry you had to loose Bella so terribly young and tragically. 💔 You must’ve felt helpless and brokenhearted. I imagine you will always miss her. I can understand why you haven’t spoken to anyone about her death, because the pain of loosing such a dear little friend is so deep. I remember my pet every day, and it helps to be able to share memories with those in my life who care and understand, though it hurts too much to talk about her with people who do not. Your dear kitty sounds like a darling little shaddow. 💜💕🌸💛🌼 I hope she is waiting somewhere, and perhaps even watching over you from that place.

They are the most wonderful family.

If you tear the canvas instead of cutting it, the grain of the canvas is straight and more stable.

Bless you and your great aunt for this tip 🙏🏻

chloe not sure for the freezer thing, but I have saved acrylic by keeping it in airtight containers or covering with plastic!

Thank you so much, what a great idea! 💕

@@chloe-ev3qk I find the best thing for acrylics is... I'm trying to remember what exactly they're called, a wet palette? It's got a damp sponge underneath your palette and is a container that seals airtight and your acrylic will last waaaaaaay longer this way. I used to use one for painting miniatures and the paint would stay wet for days and days

Oh! I did that with brushes and t try rollers, when decorating a room... get as much paint of the brushes, then wrap in foil or bag in plastic.
