Has it been a while since you made art? Are you struggling to create? Do you wonder if you even like your hobby anymore? Today we will talk about how to come back to art-making after a long break, why you should, and when to move on from and old hobby and try something new.

Happy New Year! In this episode, we will talk about resetting our studio for the new year and what to hang onto and what to declutter. The past two years have been weird with supply shortages and price increases in all areas of life including art supplies and with recent news of certain paint pigments being in short supply I thought it would be a good time to take inventory and see what e have and might want to hang on to. I hope you enjoy the podcast!

Have you had your creative play today? This week we talk about artistic experimentation and why it is vital to the success and sustainability of your creative pursuits.

In today's rambling episode we will discuss sustainability in the crafting industry and why our crafting might not be as green as it once was. I'm no angel in this department, I get excited about new supplies and probably could create for the rest of my life without having to buy much else and I certainly don't upcycle as much as I used to. Why is that? How can we do better? That's what we will discuss today. I hope you enjoy it!

In today's episode, we will discuss why we don't use our most dear supplies and how we can get over it!

Today on the podcast we're talking about archivability in your art and craftwork. I think people stress, often needlessly, about the longevity of everything they make. Where it does make sense to be mindful of lightfastness and archivablity it should come in the way of experimentation and enjoying the process of art-making. Here is the painting with saltwater article I mentioned. https://thefrugalcrafter.wordpress.com/2018/10/05/artsy-experiment-lets-paint-with-salt-water/

Hi friends,

Have you ever been told, "You should sell those!" when you show someone your art? Today we will talk about whether or not to turn your hobby into a side hustle. 

Hi friends! With the holiday season fast approaching you may be thinking about selling at craft fairs. Today I will share some of the tips I have learned over the years to earn money selling my art and crafts at small, local craft fairs and share how you can do it too. I'll also offer advice on what not to do so your next craft fair will be a success!

In today's episode, we will talk about the creative path and why it's worth it to create (even bad art.)

In this podcast I am reacting to some drama I witnessed online regarding influencers and craft companies.
