What type of art supplies do you love using outside your studio? There's just so many ideas and products I love to use.... let me know in the comments I'd love to know!!

Your story behind each piece touched me♥

You are a fabulous storyteller, you had my full attention and your creation was so real and raw..TFS

Totally amazed by these videos. Will now look around my house, my yard, garage, basement (you get it) seeing with a new lens. Thank you for sharing this video.

Karen you add a whole level of beauty and soul x

Thank you! Revisiting our history is important these days. Your art and heart is beautiful.

Wow, making art combined with poetry... you lift both art forms to a higher level. Thank you! BTW, I think the end result is stunning.

Brilliant video! Wonderful storytelling and some great tips on repurposing materials. I'm so glad you delved into the unpleasant history of cotton. It's so easy to take for granted where things come from. Cheers.

I absolutely love the way the coffee grounds and modeling paste turned out. It is gorgeous. Also, the way you used the coffee to color the other papers and used it for the heart. Wonderful.

I'm so happy that we are on the same planet together . Thank You!

Omygosh, Karen...I think this creation using items from around your house may be my favorite piece. Just lovely!🦚

Wow, this is a fantastic project. So clever of you to find all these items and use them to create something beautiful, but not only that, to tell such a beautiful story. Amazing 😊

Just found this video today. I love the way that you’ve incorporated and blended the stories of the products you used into a beautiful, meaningful project and made it your story. Truly inspiring. I really appreciate you sharing this.👏🏿❤️

I especially loved the creation story of your supplies along with the art. Makes it more special.

OMG - the Q-tip technique was so brilliant and beautiful!!

Bravo! I love everything in this video. I like the ideas, I like the way you put forward mindfulness in the use of each product and the results. It’s a great way to take care of your soul through creation. Take good care of yourself, my dear Keren. Big hugs 🧡❤️💜✨🧞‍♀️

This was as relaxing as any Bob Ross video. Thank you!

Wow. Your storytelling is just as lovely as your artwork

Thank you for your comments on the history of the cotton industry.

Your art piece and the story behind it was amazing!

This is a great video, Keren. We also love sitting around the fire toasting marshmallows and staring into the flames. I have used tea leaves, wet and dry. Dry also mixed with texture paste. Also sticks and gum nuts, sand from the beach and egg shells. ❤️❤️❤️

Spectacular presentation and your finished piece of art was stunning!!! Thank you for sharing!

Oh, my goodness! This is awesome! The coffee grounds on the stencil was fantastic. Then you brought in the strips of torn paper and I was not sure how that was going to add to the project, but with the hearts and the sentiments.....wow!! I'm blown away! Thank you!!

I had no idea coffee looked like that. That was SO cool. If only we had smellovision here on youtube....lol. LOVED these techniques chickie. I still can't believe your last one and final piece - SO COOL. Thanks for wanting to collab. This was so much fun! Let's TOTALLY do this again!! 😍😘🎨

Loved the sense of grounding and connectedness in the story of how you chose and applied everything to your art journal.

Love the textures. Also. Thanks for the pep talk.

Incredible!! So beautiful!!! Absolutely loved it and inspired me!! Thank you so much!

Thank you Karen, I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting this one! This is another that I’ll watch again, so cool💫

Loved your projects, so creative. Also the way you turned your creativity into wonderful storytelling, this video was. Joy to watch 😊

What a beautiful story..from cotton, coffee beans being picked, as something as simple as burnt wood using as charcoal..we should never take anything for granted, just because we see coffee in the grocery store, let’s think who picked those beans, roasted the coffee, from cotton, someone picked the cotton, during slavery days which were awful, everything we touch, came from other people picked, harvested, for us to enjoy..🤗🤗🌷🌷

What a unique way to talk about the everyday supplies we use. Thanks for share Keren.

I have a box of old make up that I want to experiment with. You've given me so many ideas on how to do this!! I also use old Jewellery and buttons, in fact pretty much anything that gives my art texture! Thank you 😊

，stunning！what brilliant ideas！I have always believed in trying to get art supplies from our surroundings...that is the purpose of upcycling.....barring some that we need to buy . to create a distressed border..i burn the sides of the.paper with a lit incense stick.....this gives a pretty thin dark irregular design all around .looks best on thin.paper.....am currently trying.out all sorts of stuff n will post as n when i find success！thank.you for such an.interesting.post！makes one go back.in history in a time machine！

Absolutely gorgeous!

Thank you for such a heart-filled video. I love the concept of Creation Stories

Beautiful and beautifully presented.

Embers for charcoal! Wow! What a Brilliant idea! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Can't wait for the next camp fire! Thanks. Your page is Gorgeous 😍

Karen, was a Wow video, from the story telling aspect, and the inspiring ideas and creation of your art page. I just love the brown paste that you created, the trees, and use of fireplace charcoal. You are so innovative and your enthusiasm really shines through.

Simply WOW!

Fabulous! I feel happier by just watching this...thank you!

You are a great storyteller. Thank you for sharing.

Buenisimoooo!!! Algunos ya había probado pero el del café con pasta de textura... Estoy deseando hacerlo Muchas gracias por estos videos!!! 😍😘

I love the depth of your ideas and art. Thank you so much.

I really loved this video. It had a calming effect. Thanks for sharing.

i loved this video, with you exposing your soul. thank you so much.

Great ideas and tips and beautiful page! Loved this collaboration! TFS the inspiration!

Beautiful! Love how you help us to touch base with our everyday product’s origins. It’s nice to be grateful for what we own and to know where these things come from. Your art is truly amazing as are you! TYFS ❤️🦋💜

Keren, This was such a lovely video, I loved the way you introduced the history of the items you used, but also how they are used by you, personally today.One of my words for this year is Connect. I loved the way you connected all of your items. I use my tea bags with bubble wrap and let if dry overnight. I love the color of my tea and coffee. I love the idea of using the grounds - I can't wait to try that. I am saving my used tea from the bags to use - somehow. I love using the tea bags and the string in collage. I've always liked the salt technique, I use it in my water color, but never thought to use it with my tea/coffee. Thank you again for this video. I loved it! I wanted more!

I love how you combined all your treasure finds in the journal page at the end. 🤩 Regarding cotton buds, please all, use paper based ones. The single use plastic ones are already banned in some countries as they are so bad for the environment 🌍🙏

Wow! You are amazing. Thank you for your love of history and appreciation of nature and togetherness. Stay wonderful

I would love to be drinking cappuccino right now.These ideas are so cool.I love using leaves to make prints.I have saved many to use over the winter.I have saved charcoal from my wood stove but haven't used it yet.I love the concept of using recycled items and natural materials.Sometimes I feel like a bird, collectjng twigs, leaves, acorns,shells, shiny objects, etc.

So inspiring 💜I create ceramic art and all of your wonderful ideas can be converted into ceramic materials one way or another.. Thank you so much

WOW! Your journaling page is amazing! I learned so much from this video, thank you1

I just did something similar tonight try to find a new use for the frayed edge on my paper. Because the edge is little squares, I took my black marker and tape to make it look like old movie strips. Nothing goes to waste in my art supplies. Love your ideas and they really inspire me. Thanks

Keren, I love this!!!! So beautiful. Loved every aspect of this. You are amazingly talented my friend!

I love how you treat your supplies with such respect,, and a lovely result!

I love all of you techniques and your voice is so soft, calm and soothing. I needed all of the above today. Thank you!!

Beautiful video. Thank you for acknowledging the historic generational pain associated with cotton.

Love your videos and your style. You are so unique in so many ways. Thank you for sharing and taking the time to help us beginners 😁

Love this page!

Very well done and so inspiring, need to tell my story, never knew how. Your the bomb! Tfs

Beautiful story

What a beautiful video!, I love it. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent video. I really like the coffee paste

Beautiful art page, Keren! Thank you for pointing the fact that we can always find something in our houses to use in our art projects. Maybe next time, I'll have a look around too! You really are a good soul, Keren ; I enjoy watching your videos time and time again, cause you always bring out a message everybody can use... Take good care of yourself! Big hugs, Casey xx

Absolutely gorgeous 💖

I never thought to think about the stories behind the materials I use, thank you for a new perspective. Coffee paste is a great look, definitely going to try this out

WOW!!!What your video was awesome!! Thanks for sharing!!!

This video is so amazing!! You are so genuine and heartfelt and I absolutely love that.

Great video and beautiful art work! I've also seen paintings made with beetroot juice.

I really enjoyed this. Haven’t seen you lately. You look great by the way.

Lovely stories, Keren! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome video, beautiful story. Many thanks, I learned so much. :)

What a lovely journal page and the connected stories make it all the more special! Thank you for this wonderful video! I subscribed and spent a delightful half-hour going over your site!

Beautiful art work and wonderful narrative. Thank you Keren for a thought provoking start to my day. Love from Australia

You are so sweet. Thank You for your beautiful voice.

Keren I love how you included the background of the materials you used to create your piece of art! I've never seen that done before! I've just been collecting things because I like their texture or feel...things that normally would have been thrown away, but I think it's time for me to try some art journaling. Thank you for sharing your teaching heart with us :)

I love how you speak and what you say. Beautiful art page. I'm into drying flowers in the microwave, and use them in my journals, they really look cool. XX

I just recently discovered your channel. What a good ideas ! The way you explain makes the video very interesting. About coffee.....I dry the coffee (once it is used.....I use old fashion filter coffee) Than i mix it with acrylic paint, and it gives a beautiful texture. Thanks again ! Regards from Holland!

Awesome....so enjoyed your stories of history and art. TFS

Thanks so much for this inspiring video, i have a little fireplace and i can gather some charcoal to give it a go 💖💖 I usually use an aluminum foil ball to make the clouds and the leaves of the trees, the effect is really pretty as well. Your page is amazing, Keren!

Amazing! And I love your storytelling. Just listening to you was very therapeutic. :)

Wow Keren, I really really love this page you came up with! I'm going to mix coffee with my texture paste and try to re-create this page. I love it and the video and message with it so much! *HUGS*

You are a fantastic story teller! Your creations are beautiful. I just subscribed!

Incredibly beautiful. Thank you for sharing ❤️👏

Wow!

Loved this. You have a calming voice telling your story. Amazing if what you used and came out beautiful. thanks for this ,saving and watching it over and taking notes in my book. I use to use tea to dye material.that was way before I got into papers and card making. I have use charcoal from a campfire. We did it when I was in girl scouts . And have do e it as an adult, but forgot about it. I'm grabbing some from our firepit at camp when we go up..thanks for reminding me. Brought back some fun memorizes. Lol. I'd like to do a journal, but don't really where or how to start. Good spot to try different techniques. Is that a place to start ? Maybe now I think about it, yep! Lol. Thanks again .

Boom! You did it - again - Keren! Got me inspired and caffeinated to get creating. But this time, you have partners in crime. So off I go to visit them. Muchas gracias and merci beaucoups, my friend. I especially enjoyed your connecting the recycled items with significant heartfelt stories of their origins and meaning for you, that we can all relate to. Well done!

Loved this!!

Beautiful. ❤️
