First prop talk and first giveaway!

First prop talk and first giveaway!

I decided to go quickly through how I started making the props with just a hot glue gun and how you can really do a lot with it.  I plan to go through foam and then helmets, all quickly with more talk then showing, just to show what we had been up to.  

My first tutorial will be one we made awhile ago but never edited.   We tried to get a lot filmed and had planned on getting funding to learn editing but ended up learning to do it myself.  So, not the greatest editing but what I can do today  :p  

Man, it is fun though!  I cant wait until I get past the basics!  I think I will really like it!  I have been practicing with After Effects so hopefully soon I can make them look even better!

While my Kickstarter fiber art studio is not doing much, we are planning on buying some fleeces this next weekend!  Icelandic because I found a good price for them and I really want to try it various ways!  I want to separate them and use them for different types of projects.  Then I want to try them together too to see how different it will be.  

I really like fiber and it is one of those things I wish I had never stopped doing!  But we will get the fleece this next weekend and by then I should have heard from the spinning and weaving guild in town.  I think they rent to members but I think  I will need a mentor first to vouch for me since I will be brand new.  But I expect almost all the new people need to rent and try out various ones.

If I cant afford the Schacht FlatIron then I will get maybe the BlueBonnet Honey Bee (I think that was it…  I want a double treadle so hopefully can find one!)  that one is all wood and affordable.  I will go for the FlatIron if I can afford it since it is from a company I expect tot be around for years in case I need parts or accessories.

I wonder how many others are just like me and wishing they had the nerve to go for their dreams and see this and dare!  I hope it helps because life should be lived and sometimes that seems impossible with too much going on out of your control.  I am taking back control though!  While I may not be able to afford the studio right away unless this kickstarter campaign is successful, I will get it done!  Piece by piece!

I look forward to buying the fleece and doing a video about them.  As a 'big city" girl, I am not overly familiar with animals and their  fleece.  I will spread it out on the table to show it and hopefully get it up close too.  The fleece is supposed to be very clean so hopefully I wont find unexpected 'stuff"  :p  

But that will be part of my Frugal ~Unangan Style playlist, the very start of creating yarn!  I hope my kickstarter is successful since it will make it quicker and easier to do it all.  I would really love things being easy for a change!  I have to say that I am loving the New year so far!   Getting it off to a good start and not hesitating anymore!  

You can enter my first ever giveaway too!  It is for the 2 hot glue masks in the picture.  follow my Youtube channel, my instagram channel and my Twitter channel and use the hashtag #SeareansGiveAway so I can find you!  Good luck!  

hugs,
