DIY Art Supplies: Getting by on very little as a beginning artist
I’ve been on this kick lately about making my own art supplies. I mean, we all know how pricey those art store trips can get, right? Plus, there’s something incredibly satisfying about using tools and materials you’ve crafted yourself. It’s like adding an extra layer of creativity to the whole process. Let me share a few of my favorite DIY art supplies with you because I don’t think we have…

Making paintbrushes with thistle fluff
Tumblr media
Just goofing around and really didn't think it would work, but he handed me some thistle fluff and my fairy craft mode locked in.
Tumblr media
Silicone glue on a stick, for water resistance. I'd say the wire was just for show if it wasn't so ugly. Oh well, maybe next time will be prettier!
Tumblr media
It's actually holding together and picking up paint, AND creating a variety of line weight? Are you kidding me?
Tumblr media
It actually works?? 🥹

Finished the giant EOD backpatch for my battle vest, it was such a fun little side project i took to distract myself from the stressful things that are currently going on.
I couldn't afford to buy one from US store and also kinda felt like DIY-ing the hell of it so i took matters in my own hands. It isn't that narrow and off-proportioned like the store one, but it was actually intentional from my side. I think it fits the space better like that.
The purple parts are made with uv-reactive paint, so whenever i accidentally end up in a rave, the colors should pop up quite nicely.

Had another studio day today. Did more vocal doubling for my folkpunk album. Just one more song to go tomorrow for doubling. Did some screaming over drone noises so eric can have something to play to open his sets on his upcoming asia tour.
Tumblr media
Ive been making him patches for his asia tour. This is the linocut ive been using to make it, my biggest size yet, half a piece of paper sized. I use speedball fabric ink which is waterproof.
This is the first batch of 24 patches. 2 days of work. Managed to sell two patches at the art show i sang with new age doom at. The yellow orange red gradient patch, and the silver and pink fade patch were the ones that sold. I sold these for $10 instead of $5 as their bigger and need more ink to make. I also need to stand one them in order for the ink to transfer so it takes me more time.

This is the second batch of 13 patches. 2 days of work.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
went to the art store today got three more wooden back linocut blocks smaller than the one i used for erics stamp. Got a big mixed media sketchbook, orange, green & blue paint, and a pen knife. Then i went to the dollar store and got two small canvases, metal organiser for pens and brushes, erasers for carving, and blues clues stickers. I spend too much money on art supplies, good things its going to be my job forever and everything is an investment into things i will use for a long time.

PIN TUTORIAL.
So. You want pins of your favorite band/cartoon/oc/funny thing to put on backpacks/jackets/pants BUT you're broke and/or have no means to Acquire Pins. You find yourself thinking must Man do i need to make these???? And the answer is yes. Sadly, one either needs to purchase items to have items or make items to have items. I know, i know. It's unfair. It'll be alright, though. Fear not, beloved internet user, for i have The Easy Solution to Your Problem. For thee. Let me hold your hand passionately.
What you'll need is:
Tumblr media
Safety Pins - you can buy them for hella cheap in packages with Many Of Them. I'm probably not from your country so you'll have to look for them yourself online or in a store) Pair of Scissors - for cuttin' Plastic - Any kind as long as it's thick enough. reutilize something that would go to the trash, if you can. I'm using an old fanta bottle i stole from dad's pepper pot from the garden. you could also used those hard ish plastics from boxes too or packages. It doesn't have to be transparent, but that's recommended. Some sort of Glue - I recommend hot glue. I did not, however, have hot glue, so I used a two-part resin for fixing pipes instead. If it works it works. You can use anything as long as it secures the safety pin to the plastic. The Pin Content - I'm using STICKERS. i bought 200 6 months ago and have many left overs. You could also use a drawing you made or a cutout from a magazine and tape it to the plastic with transparent packaging tape.
That's all you need. However, if you'd like to make your life a bit easier, it'd be nice to have in hand:
tape - for tapin' razorblade - for scrapin' pen - for Penin'
See. easy. doesn't need a lot. I must say that since i'm a craftsperson i have More Materials laying about than the average arguably human population, but that's pretty much it.
tutorial with pictures continues under the read more. selfie under read more too with them on a cool jacket. here are the results so you know what you're getting into. Ooooo you want to make pins so bad oooooooo
Tumblr media
TLDR: glue Pin Content onto the plastic, glue the safety pin to that next. Pic IDs added.
STEP 1.
Stick the thing you want to pin on the plastic. I'm using stickers, but you can use the non adhesive stuff. You can tape a piece of paper to the plastic with transparent duct tape. Just make sure to leave a margin on all sides.
Tumblr media
STEP 2.
turn the plastic sheet around. Mark where the Up part of the sticker is and where you want the safety pins to go. This part is optional, but it helps making sure you're not going to put the pins in the wrong position. I didn't do it on my last batch and they turned out fine.
Tumblr media
STEP 3.
Secure the plastic to your work surface using tape to keep it still while you work. Again, optional, but it'll help keep the thing straight if your plastic is bent like mine.
Tumblr media
STEP 4.
Scratch the surface of the plastic so whatever gluing method you use actually works. The surface shouldn't be smooth or else it'll be hard to glue. You can use anything to scratch it. I did a criss cross pattern as shown in the picture.
Tumblr media
STEP 5.
Glue the pins to the scratched surface.
In my case it was done in two steps since the resin needed time to dry. I made a hard base to secure the pin and waited for two hours for that to dry. Then i put a small layer of resin over the part of the safety pin that doesn't open and waited for it to dry again.
This would be miles easier if you used hot glue. Just hot glue the pin to the plastic, making sure to keep the movable part free.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
STEP 6.
Cut the pins! If you taped them to the plastic instead of using premade stickers then make sure to leave more plastic to the sides. so it doesn't fall off. They're done. You now have pins.
Tumblr media
If you want to go above and beyond, you can cover the pin with a thin layer of clear nail polish to make it impermeable and more durable, but i'm all out of clear nail polish, so i didn't do it.
RESULTS PART 2.
Tumblr media
That's it. That's all. Have fun!

"book reading isn't slow and sustainable anymore!" "fibre arts aren't slow and sustainable anymore!" "diy isn't slow and sustainable anymore!" well maybe you feel that way in part because your only connection with people who do these things is online influencers who buy 100 books a month or knit 12 things for a monthly wrap-up that you never see them wear on camera again or make a new foam mirror tutorial every few weeks because they're doing this as their content. i think it's much more indicative of what's actually going on to say "lots of influencer online content isn't slow or sustainable" than acting like it's a problem with general user error in various different hobbies. it's influencers and people playing at living like influencers who are making these ridiculous monthly or weekly challenges to show off. it's not a problem inherent to most people in whichever niche the influencer or pseudo-influencer picks.

Junk Journaling: Finding ephemera to use
Since we just talked about how to make a junk journal last post, now let’s talk about what you will use to fill it up and make it pretty. Junk journaling is like going on a treasure hunt where every little piece you find can tell a story. You can use almost anything to create your journal. First off, you might want to start with the basics, like old book pages. These can be from old novels,…

If you can't buy a patch self-made is always a good option
