Here are the five envelopes Jacqueline sent in October. It's fun to see the different witches. I forgot to ask her if she works in watercolor or gouache - or maybe something else. As I've mentioned before, she uses very nice paper - something that I might do - s.o.m.e.d.a.y.

It's a little embarrassing to *out* myself as someone who will respond to click-bait that looks like this.
The guy looks wacky and the graphics are haphazard. I am not embarrassed about my *thing* for making things out of trash. So that part is fine. What tipped me into clicking was the grid pattern in the back and the notion that it was about storage for art supplies. I seriously doubted that it would have anything worthwhile, but, I had just finished a challenging teddy bear project and felt like I had earned 15 minutes of surfing.
The guy is not wacky at all. I ended up watching a few more videos and have several very useful ideas for gardening. I'll put links to the first two videos I enjoyed. His very loose style really appeals to me. It could so easily look like a pile of junk, but he pulls it all together and has a very clear aesthetic.
The next video I watched really spoke to me - because at one point he said, "I deeply regret...." Now
that is a kindred spirit.... I am allowing myself one additional video each day.
Once again, his goal is to use only what he has on hand. It is almost 19 minutes long and there is a very interesting part (from 7:48 to 13:27) where he keeps layering and layering until he is happy with the outcome. It did not look promising for quite a while - so I really enjoyed what he used to pull it together. And even better - all the projects relate to each other. The things he builds relate to how the garden is coming together.
From that project he goes into the one where he utters our beloved phrase - deeply regret. It happens at 14:30. I agree with him that it is a regrettable move. Once again - he layers - and resolves the situation.

I can see the borders and botanicals on an envelope.....
