okay.. so are you ready for some fun today? I was in my studio yesterday morning, taping this fun "short" Behind the Art video.. on how to use Stencils & Masks.. and when I got done and went to sit and edit the "short" video..it ended up being almost 45 minutes long! lol
I kept thinking.. what am I going to edit out because youtube only allows for 15 minute videos to up be uploaded?? Well folks.. I tried.. but I just couldn't do it! So today I am presenting to you not one.. but THREE Behind the Art videos! lol Keep in mind, they are not like my last Behind the Art Video.. where it was all in fast forward. This is all complete tutorial and instruction.. so joy joy.. you get to here me talk the entire time.. lol.. (and I only laugh because as I played it back and listened to it.. I was like.. oh christy.. really? did you just say that? lol).. but it is what it is .. just like my Workshops videos.. it's uncut.. unedited.. so you know they are going to be tons of fun!
So the reason behind the Stencil and Mask Tutorial is because we just offered a two-day sale on my Scarlet Lime Shop.. (20% off all stencils and masks in the store)..
and I thought it would be fun to show everyone how to use all of those fun little goodies they just purchased. I had planned on posting this yesterday while thesale was still on, so that those who didn't know WHAt stencils they wanted to get.. could see how the are used and then decide.. but it took me WAY longer to edit and upload the videos to youtube.. so I didn't.. (Sorry :().. soooooo.. guess what? I am going to break the rules a bit and extend the sale for one more day..(Just don't tell ben.. lol).. its a DIFFERENT coupon code than the one available yesterday..
(it's just for you, my blog peeps :))..
coupon code: BlogPeepsRock11
use it at the Scarlet Lime Shop Here
but It's only good till end of day today!
Okay! enought talk.. hope you enjoy the videos! There are three parts.. so watch Part one first .. then two.. then three :) It will make more sense that way..
well.. enjoy your day! and don't forget to get signed up for the Pay it Forward giveaway.. in my post previous post here
Happy Friday!

More amazing video's, thank you. Question, When I use your favorite journaling, doodling pen and then I do mod podge over it, the ink seems to smear. How do I keep that from happening?
I've avoided using ink sprays but these video's have made me feel I can do-it, yahoo!

This looks like a mess to me.....who needs the clean up?

Great videos Christy! It's always fun to watch an artist at work, using different techniques!

Hi Christy,
How do you have your video camera set up. I like the format because you can see exactly how your hands apply the stencil and paint. This is similar to the cooking shows. Do you have a special tripod? I would like to show the students what I am doing at the front of the class with a direct feed to the projector because the artwork needs to stay flat because it is wet and it will run if I hold it up to show the class. Plus the students are to far away to see the art.
Thank you so much,
Christie

Christie! I vidoe in my garage and we actually hung the tripod upside down. wiring it to the ceiling (which is unfinished.. so had placed we could).I leave the tripod up all the time and just attatch and un attatch the vidoe camera to it, when I need to.
works great!

Meribeth!
you know I don't have that problem at all. Mine doesn't smear or smudge. Do you live in a humid area? I am wondering if the pen is not getting completlty dry. I live in a really dry climate (i mean we get rain and snow.. but it's a dry cold, not humid cold). Wonder if that affects it :)

Christy, any tips on storing stencils? I keep throwing mine in a box and some are getting bent! Loving the inspiration!

What a treat - having three of your videos to watch today. I was in withdrawal after I finished the She-Art class (which was phenomenal!). And now I am waiting for the art journaling class. So today I had another good dose of your talent, humor, and cuteness which may hold me until class starts!! Thanks!
