Meditative paintings on canvas - my process and supplies
Traditional paintings still hold a special place in my heart in today's digital world. There is something meditative and more personal about actual paint on canvas. This time, I am using oil painting, and I really like the vibrant color and sheen. It is worth the trouble of gathering supplies and learning to manage toxic mediums.
This is a very different video from my usual yarn art and design projects. I like to branch out more and reflect on my current interests.
Hope you enjoy this video, and I welcome any feedback.

Flower of Life Crochet and the Double Magic Ring Cast On
Переглядів 15714 днів тому
The flower of life is an ancient pattern that symbolizes creation. Since it looks like a crochet pattern, I made it a project. This is a simple version with a single stitch for each triangle side. In the future, I will do a double-stitch version to look even closer to the Flower of Life pattern. I use the Double Magic Ring cast-on method to start a crocheted ring. This is easier than the tradit...
Crocheting a Hand Bag or Tote from Granny Squares
Переглядів 20221 день тому
Here is a link to the "How to Crochet the Daisy Granny Square and Seaming" video: ua-cam.com/video/mA1j7PAIYbg/v-deo.html You can make any Granny Square design into a tote bag. Just add the side/bottom panel and crochet the handle. The color yarns make it look more complicated, but it is actually simple to make. You can adjust it to any size you like. I used cotton yarn, so it is very sturdy. O...

How to crochet a simple camera bag or device case
Переглядів 202Місяць тому
It is easy to crochet a simple camera case or device protector. I use Lion Brand's "Rewind" tape yarn. It is more sturdy than regular cotton or wool yarn and very soft. (It is not sponsored.) I started with the bottom piece by creating chains and crocheting around it. Then start knitting up to the main body. Add a flap and button loop to secure the closure. Finally, sew on a button. You can cus...
Refinishing wooden chairs from a thrift store
Переглядів 334Місяць тому
I found these wooden chairs at a local thrift store. I like the rattan seating and the shape of the chair back. They just need a little basic refinishing and restoration. I sanded the finish with sandpaper, used "plastic wood" to fill cracks, sanded again, wiped, and then applied wood stain. I picked the "special walnut" color, which is a medium brown. Then, I sealed it with a spray that is for...
Roses, peonies, and irises in full bloom - Late May Garden Tour - Zone 7 - New York
Переглядів 1552 місяці тому
Most roses, peonies, and irises are blooming in my backyard garden. It takes them around three years to bloom properly. This is the year things are coming together, including my little pond (there is no electricity). The water is actually clear without an extra filter. I added names if I remember them. Enjoy the Zone 7 (New York state) garden tour. The first flush of roses is the best! Simple h...
Granny square crochet from the Mandala Baby yarn, and a refresher tutorial
Переглядів 6032 місяці тому
The crocheted granny square is always special. People either hate it or love it. With the color-changing yarn (Mandala Baby) from Lion Brand, I tried to make a more modern version. The size of the center square is more random, but the colors are all coordinated because of the yarn. You can cut the yarn ball into different-colored sections or use it as is. Since this is a lighter yarn, it is sui...

Simple and Minimal Vest - LK150 Machine Knitting
Переглядів 1 тис.3 місяці тому
Here is a simple, minimalist vest knitted on the LK150 knitting machine. It has only 2 pieces (front and back), with a "rolled" neckline and bottom edge. It is simple enough for most basic knitting machines, and also for hand knitting. I use DK-weight yarn this time so it is suitable for warmer weather. This yarn is soft but I still prefer more natural fiber such as wool next time. More wool or...

    You can add a row of single crochet (or even slip stitch) to make the outline stand out more. Just crochet 3 stitches for every upside-down triangle (arrow pointing down), and 1 stitch for every upward-pointing triangle. It gives a much nicer finish. :)
