In My Mailbox | Postcrossings and a Letter

Postilaatikosta on löytynyt tällä viikolla pari Postcrossing-korttia ja yksi kirje.

A couple of Postcrossing cards and a letter found their way into my mailbox this week.

postcrossing card
Kauniin kullankeltainen vehnäpelto Oklahomasta.
A beautiful golden wheat field in Oklahoma.
postcrossing card
Kortti Taiwanista. Kuvassa ehkä kirsikkapuu, värit eivät ihan vastaa kortin alkuperäisiä värejä.
A lovely card from Taiwan. Perhaps of a cherry tree? The colors changed a bit from the original ones of the card.

flower stamp
Kortissa oli myös kaunis postimerkki.
I liked the stamp too.
letter
Ensimmäinen kirje Singaporesta.
The first letter I've received from Singapore.
bird stamp
Ja taas kiva postimerkki.
And another lovely stamp.
letter
Söpö yksityiskohta kirjekuoresta.
A cute detail on the envelope.
Ensi viikolla olenkin Madeiralla.

Next week I'll be in Madeira.

100 Art Video Ideas for YouTube

Image
Having trouble coming up with ideas for art projects, art blog posts or art YouTube channel videos? I've listed 100 (or 101) art video title or topic ideas for YouTube in this post. A lot of them work for blog posts, too. Some of them you can use as ideas for you art projects that you don't even post online. I divided the list into sections: general art video title ideas, art challenges, art tutorials, themed artworks and art series. Some art challenges have many versions of them (3 marker challenge, 2 marker challenge and 1 marker challenge or 10 minute and 30 minute drawing challenge), but I'll just name one of the versions. You can download the list PDF format to save it or print it out.

How I Set Up My Camera for Youtube Art & DIY Videos

Image
Last month I wrote a blog post about how I make my Youtube art and craft videos . The basics from the filming equipment to camera set-up and editing. I mentioned I'm struggling to film straight down and usually film from the side. I have a cheap tripod, but I can't use it to film straight down, because it will just film its own legs. Desktop monopods allow you to film straight down, but they're pretty expensive so I can't buy one at the moment. However, I decided to try and make my own DIY "monopod". I used this to film most of my Tribal and Gradient Flower Pots video.

How to Make Art/DIY YouTube Videos | Beginner's Guide + Free Checklist

Image
A couple of months before my last birthday, I decided I wanted to start making speed painting videos for You T ube and asked for a tripod for my birthday. My first videos turned out to be travel diaries, because those were a lot easier to film. By now I've also made some DIY tutorial and speed art videos and I thought I'd share how I got started with those by using tools I already had or just cheap or free tools. Why should you start a You T ube channel though, if you already run a craft or art blog? For one thing, it can be a lot more informative to watch video of an art technique or a craft project than just reading and seeing a few work-in-progress photos. Moreover, you can reach a bigger audience with videos than a written blog. My most popular blog post ( Sugar Painting ) has been viewed 2 , 1 00 times (based on Blogger statistics which exaggerate the number of views) while my most popular video has been viewed 8, 7 00 times. (Th is blog p o st was last updated in ...
