January 2024 art haul

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ต.ค. 2024
- Although not my last EVER art haul, this will be the last monthly one - I just cannot justify the costs of buying art supplies that I do not need. But this one is a good one to start 2024 with, and I will share future 'hauls' as and when enough smaller packages of art supplies arrive. It'll just be a bigger video every few months I suspect!
Let me know what your favorite item is in this art haul, and thanks for watching!

I purchased mini Art pallets from Temu for more reasonable prices. I bought one from Esty for $25 it was warped. It took so long to deliver, I found out it was coming from China. Buying from Temu cuts off the middle man.
If you like tiny watercolor pads, Temu, has them at amazing prices and they are the same watercolor pads sold on Etsy and Amazon.
Thank you for sharing your haul! I love Caran d’Ache neocolor ll watercolors. If you haven’t purchased the palette, white one side smooth and the best side textured. It’s wonderful to turn the color to watercolor paint.
Have an amazing new year! Fran from Tennessee
Hi Fran! Thank you for leaving a comment. I try to stay away from Temu, because of the ethics that are reported by many on their business practices (I know designers who have had their work ripped off by Temu) but I do appreciate that for some it is a great option. 😎
Wishing you a wonderful new year too - how are we in March already? 🤯
Hellooo! Great little art haul. You showed us some things that I've never seen before so bravo for that!! Those little pallets!🎉 And the little metal boxes❤ hope you have a great weekend. It's finally sunny here today and the sky the most incredible shade of blue!
Hugs from Susan in 🏜️🥰
Hi Susan! Good to hear you finally have some sunshine - we're still gray clouds and cold air here but at least it isn't raining! 😎 Glad you enjoyed the haul, it was a good one to 'finish' on so to speak wasn't it? Hope your weekend was good? Mine was low-key out and about walking 🥾 which is always a good weekend activity! Big hugs! 😘
such a wonderful haul, Love it ☺☺☺
Thanks Chantelle! 😘
So many goodies 😍. Don’t you just love it when they arrive? That tiny magnetic palette, they sell them on Temu. They’re not expensive either. I bought two different sizes. Thank you for sharing your haul. I think I got just as excited as you did. Next trip to the UK, I’m going to Jackson’s. 🫶
Oh I get so excited when they arrive. I can never just hold them back like others do, I need to open them to see the delights inside! 🤣 Have fun at Jacksons on your next trip!
Everything was lovely, but the calendar was fab! Enjoy your goodies!
Thanks Cheryl! I ended up putting the Mel Chadwick one up in the kitchen but mu OH is under strict instructions not to scribble his work schedule all over it! 🤣
@@eviedivadoodles lol! I must admit I’d be the same with that one 🤣🤣
I loved the peek we got in that big sketchbook! Do you have a video featuring that sketchbook?
Hi Elizabeth - thank you! Not yet - I have about 6 double page spreads left to use up then I'll record a sketchbook flip through, probably mid February! 😍
Oh actually, there are pages from it featured in a couple of 'Art as a Hobby' videos... I shared them in August / September and October last year but they never got much traction / engagement so I stopped. 👀
What a lovely final art haul Evie. Especially the gifts that your Dad enabled. Lucky you!! I look forward to watching much more of your using and experimenting with the amazing art supplies you’ve gathered to date. Go for it, and paint like no one is watching! ❤️❤️❤️👩🏻🎨🖌️🎨❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Anita! I'm definitely ready to start putting all my materials to good use, I'm feeling inspired to just dive in and get creating now! 😍❤️😘
@@eviedivadoodles so pleased to hear it!! 😀❤️
Love the painting sound effects 😂. Whoosh… 😂. The tiny containers r so needed! I’m obsessed lol. And the peg & awl… sigh. Can’t wait to see what u decide to put in. Has to be special.
Always here for the tiny containers right? They are being used AS I WRITE THIS... though I should be doing 'real' work this morning. Sigh.
@@eviedivadoodles 🤪🤪
Such lovely things, Eve. I’ll be looking forward to your feedback on using the products.
Thanks Kilby.. I’m excited to share how I’m using them! 😍
Oh, I can't wait to see you fill the Tilda! I got the Petra palette (with the mixing tray) for Christmas, but I am thinking very carefully about which 6 colors to put in it, so I haven't filled it yet (it won't be plein air weather here for many more months anyway 😑). Have fun with the new toys!
Thanks Tina! I finished swatching out all my colors, so now it's just a case of narrowing down my options. 6 is not many is it! 🤣Have fun with yours! 😘
Great video. You bought some very nice supplies. I’m jealous of that calendar, now I wish I had bought one.
I’m not going to buy any art supplies in February. I need to use what I already have. ✨🍸
Thanks Kylee! The calendars are both brightening up my spaces so I'm chuffed that I got them. Worth the cost to have something lovely to look at every day! 😍
Love it all and I keep saying this is the last purchase.... and then something comes along....
Uh-oh, I'm a bad influence Jackie! 🤪
i know hauls probably get a ton of views, but i really do appreciate your desire now to use what you have! i do the same thing a lot of times, i buy a dearth of items and for maybe 3 weeks i get the supplies in. then i don't want anything for half a year and i go wild again :P but it works for me! i really liked your recent video about the pastels you bought. i doubt i'd ever get into the medium for a few reasons but the way you described the colors made me really happy :3 its nice to see people not only use what they buy but feel genuinely pleased by the item itself for time after.
Ah, thank you so much for such a lovely comment! I do find great joy in all the colors, and am hoping to really explore all the mediums that I have throughout this year. Then I'll probably downsize what isn't working for me before buying anything new. ❤️
Hi Evie! Love your videos! That "Just go Sketching" kit is so clever! Where did you get that from may I ask? I am in California, so not sure if that will be available/shipped here. Thanks for sharing your haul! Looking forward to your sketching videos with the supplies!❤♥
Hey, so sorry to be slow replying! Thank you so much, I'm enjoying sharing the videos, they hold me accountable in practicing this hobby, so it's nice to receive lovely feedback like yours! 😍 This is the sketching kit I bought (www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1209532271/8x58-ins-justgosketching-companion-for?) minus the optional case. He has lots of products - bit of a candy store for us to be fair 😬 - so I've linked just to the item I have! 🤣 Looks like he does ship to the US, there's an option to pop in your Zip code and get a shipping quote. 😘
I can't believe you paid £24 for that tiny palette. I paid £14 or so for one that it's exactly like that but double the size. In Cork Art Supplies, if you want to check.
Yeah, the teeny tiny one was a rip off! But, I have it now, and don't need anymore, so it is what it is. 😬
I have neocolor 2 pastels and I know that they fit in small watercolour tins that people buy ones that hold normally 12 or six. Also, do you have any links for where you got those really cute three-set of tins
Yes, someone else suggested that, thank you! I got the cute ones from an online shop in the UK called The Journal Shop! And the brand of tin is 'Hightide Tiny Container'!
If you use the crayons a little bith they Will fitt without problems!?
Yeah, they have started to fit - the ones I use more often anyhow, which is what counts right? 🤪
Why don't you like cellophane
It doesn't get recycled here, and I don't want just dump it in the bin!
@@eviedivadoodles recycling is awful for the environment. I'm so confused. You use art supplies and clothing but pretend to care about the environment. I don't mean to be harsh or anything. I'm just trying to understand. It's so confusing to me.
Hey Phillip. Maybe you should explain to me why you believe that recycling is 'awful for the environment'? 🤔 And insofar as the second part of your comment: I use art supplies because they bring me joy and peace when I need to be away from 'the real world' and all that entails. I use clothes, because it is expected that we don't walk around unclothed for all and sundry to see our bits. And I don't 'pretend' to care for the environment. I DO care. It's why I reuse things again and again. It's why I try not to buy food that isn't grown in the country I live in and seasonal, its why I buy from charity shops and thrift stores in order to not buy more fast fashion that exists just to line the pockets of greedy shareholders... I could go on.. but I think the only important thing to note is that I DO CARE... I don't PRETEND to, I DO.
He’s just pulling your chain, ignore it. The clue’s in the name
@@ellingtonthorpe yeah, I suspect you’re right. He usually replies very speedily, but not this time! 😆
Glad you’re avoiding the excess consumerism of haul videos.
Thanks! My intent was only to ever build up a selection of materials for my to use, and for now, I have everything I need. 😎
Ignore those people, art suppliers are part of the economy and we support them by purchasing art materials we want and love with our hard earned money. There is nothing wrong with consumerism once we are not in debt and know our purpose on this planet is to enjoy doing what we love. I have a dull high paying day job and love to art as a hobby buying exactly what I want to use when I want to use it. I personally don’t trawl websites but click and spend based on TH-cam hauls. So love these videos. Am down for spending on art, Lego, books and experiences allllllll dayyyyy long. The reward for working!
@@littlebear3879well said. Also, I find art hauls a great way to determine whether I really want/need a particular item. Many a time I’ve thought “I’d like to try that” and then it’s shown on an art haul/review and I’ve decided I don’t (either like or need) want the item any more. Or it validates my initial desire. I always say, if it doesn’t interest you don’t watch it 😊
@@littlebear3879agreed!! You know who is against consumerism. Communists and socialist. That's who. Because they can't have they don't want anyone else to have either.
Aha! You should know Phillip that I am a hardcore socialist! 🤣 And actually? I don't give too hoots whether or not I can or can't have something... or whether someone else can / can't / should / shouldn't... What I CARE about is making sure that everyone has an opportunity, that people aren't pushed aside and told they can't just because of circumstance.
My main business is teaching people around the world how to design and make clothes - with a sustainable focus (I know, you don't like that work 🤣). I earn a good amount of money from the high RPMs that advertisers pay to reach my US readers. And with that income? I can continue to create the very best (and FREE) content for those around the world who can't afford to go to school to learn those skills.
Quite a few people have taken my teachings to go and create dressmaking businesses for themselves, and are able to support their small family because of it. I get nothing from that - just the joy of knowing I've helped people create a life they love.
But that's me being a socialist, because why should I keep my knowledge and skills to myself when I can help others...?
