8:34 "So if I do break my hand it's not gonna affect my art"
Me: How can you break your hand while just hammering a nail into a canvas?!
**Sees how she hammers**
Me: I understand now...

"It's probably not gonna come off for days". Is that not the point of washable markers??

You could have used the alcohol to remove the color off your fingers.

"I mean it looks a bit wonky, and not that great. But look how good that looks!"

BETTER LIGHT BOX HACK: get a wide picture frame (not a flat one) that's generally big enough for your drawings. Get some small plastic fairy lights (not the Christmas ones but the smaller ones) and put them inside the frame. Grab the battery box and tape it to the back of the frame, and turn it on. Boom, light box 😊

Honestly, the way you were talking to the camera and still cutting with the knife panicked me. I am so happy you are professionally knife trained and have fingers. I also made an 'ah ahh ahh!' sound when you knocked the dye pots with the pipe tube 😂 I thought they were goners!

Fantastic video Chloe ❤️

Chloe with a sharp object isn't a good idea 😂

For the altoids hack, would air dry clay work better? Air dry clay and a large round dotting clay tool to make shallow holes. That way you won't have to bake the clay. You can even seal it with midge podge to waterproof it! I think I may try this tomorrow :) I've got tons of empty altoids cans.

I love how you're describing pipe insulation as a "pipe tea cozy." Its so adorably British. ☺️

Pls try using the rubbing alcohol to blend colored pencils. I works super well. Better then paint thinner and certainly better than baby oil.
Its an amazing hack.😸😸😸😸😸

I love this video and I love your hair and I'm not sure which I love most 😍

I've done the canvas with picture hook thing to hang up necklaces and i love it, I have the hooks up the other way so the necklaces hang over the canvas which is a simple abstract dry brush thing in the same colours of my bedroom wall!

an altoids tin is made of metal
you could bake it in an oven, since it is metal not plastic, it wont melt

unless you put it in a microwave it would explode ahahahahah

I had to make an improvised light box like that once XD I was at a month long art course and for my final assignment I was going to finish digitally but my tablet stopped working. And I didn't have a good way to clean up my sketches without a light box and I ended up grabbing a clear bin that was supposed to be for cereal that I never used, and shoved my bendable lamp into it which somewhat saved the day. Inspired by that I now usually use a clear plastic clipboard and my lamp cause it's just easier than getting out my heavy light box

"y'know like a tea cozy?"
no, Chloe, i am in the land of murica so i do not know what a tea cozy is

Another way for inks would be to take acrylic paint. (Small amount ) add 3% alcohol ( what you use for cleaning scratches ) and mix and it should work well I did for me. You have to play around with the amounts gor the right dilution

[courtneyhansen]

I made a travel watercolor tin, I took a pop out mint pack (Eclipse gum?) popped out all the gum and put my watercolors in there (I use tubes)
MAKE SURE YOU LET THEM DRY BEFORE YOU START TO USE THEM!
I separated the packs (where the paint is) with a little bit of paper towel.
and it all fits so nice!
When I go to use the paints, I take them out and use the tin for the water :)

Great video, Chloe! Brightened my day! :D

Toothpaste can get ink off hands, and if you choose to make a light box, lining the inside with a thick white paper & leaving the top clear can help make the light brighter

yo, you can actually put altoids tins in the oven, when my sister makes clay scenery in altoids tins she bakes it with no issue.
