Ahhh Hi!! Thank you everyone for being so patient while I finished up school. I finally ✨✨graduated ✨✨✨and this channel is back in full swing again :-). I hope you enjoy this video. I wanted to paint some special letters to friends and family that I wanted to reconnect with after being a studious hermit these past few months. Who would you want to send a letter like this to? If you try it out, tag me on Instagram! I would love to see! 🩷 pear
In the 4 years or so that I have be following this channel the one thing that never ceases to amaze me, and something that sets you apart, is your love and passion for the craft. No matter how big or small the project is, you spend as much time as it takes on so that the end product is something you feel proud of. We all can but to aim to have such a commendable work ethic.
If I got a letter like this, I would cherish it till the end of my days. I would unwrap it first thing every morning just to hear this gentle squish and marvel at the drawings once again. I would keep it in a box with jewelry and precious stones.
Congratulations on your graduation! Thank you for sharing your artistry, craftsmanship, and creative vision with the world - your videos have remained a treasured source of comfort and whimsy for years for me, and likely for countless others as well. It's been amazing to see how your art has evolved over time while still retaining such a unique and gorgeous character. So excited to see what you create in the future!
One of the most beautiful videos I've watched. Your precision is immaculate. Utterly stunning. I would adore to receive a gift like this. You are amazing ❤❤❤❤
I remember doing puzzle purses as a child. We would pass secret notes and drawings to our friends in them. The nostalgia you brought to mind is great! Thank you! ❤
your art videos really are some of my favs. the music and angles are beautiful, and your art is amazing and its been nice to see you evolve because ive known your channel since you did miniature and clay stuff years ago.i kinda needed something calming yet inspiring now too
THE PAINT SHE USES could be the "Mission" Gouache she showed in another video (the palete she set up looks very similar, but I'm not 100% sure). Its the - Mijello Titanium Class Gouache Watercolor, which you can easily find. A blog post by Kim Crick says "The unusual selling point is that the formula includes enough gum, honey and other binder additives to allow for drying in empty pans without cracking. It easily reactivates with the touch of a wet brush and most colors retain opacity even when re-wet from dry." I think it is worth making sure that all the paints one uses are lightfast. I did a lot of research when picking out which pigments hold up well in time. There is an awesome book for anyone interested called: The Artist's Guide To Selecting Colors by Michael Wilcox. Its a very easy book to understand and reference from! And was super helpful in deciding which colors are essential to buy and not blindly buy just to have. Not all colors will last with time or are even worth buying and it is good to look into when making the investment to buy paint. The best Gouache brand I've ever used is Schminke's Hordam Gouache (pricey but worth it 100%- Dina Brodsky suggested them a long while ago and I've never looked back). I also like the Holbein Acrylic Gouache for their neons, but I do so at my own risk because some of the colors I use I know will fade in time if exposed for a long time to the sun! Like there is no lightfast rating on there data sheet for the neons T_T. I would also like to try the Japanese Gansai watercolour too one day when I can treat myself to a set (I have so much paint I want to be reasonable before purchasing more)
@@NatyaKurapati she said bellow the paper she used was the Arches Textwove, and I'm assuming its pretty light for it to be able to fold like that. Ok yeah I looked it up, you can find it on the Arches website and its 119 gsm.
Oh this made me a little emotional…the space for actual words is so small, but you don’t need them…the design and the craft speaks so much of care and love
Yay, Pearfleur is back!!! Wonderful video as usual. Choosing Keeping products are really like treasures. I bought a couple of time from them after watching yr channel and it worth it. Congratulation on yr graduation🥳🎉 and thank you so much for sharing🙏
I have just discovered your channel, and I am enchanted! The choice of music, your artistic skills, the magic with which you imbue your videos, the slow unboxing of magical trinkets.. it's beautiful!
We are so happy you are back! Congratulations on graduating, and I'm so thankful that you've chosen to keep producing high-quality, incredibly calming and creative videos for us. I'm excited to see what comes next, Ihwa!!
Hello Ihwa! I have been following you for many years. Your videos are always a comfort watch and your progress is always inspiring. Thanks for making your videos! 💛 I especially loved the angle @17:41. It is so beautiful. The colour palettes in this video were so different and vibrant. PS: Congratulations on your graduation! I hope you get a lovely rest before your next chapter.
You are an incredibly talented artist. Your art and crafting inspires me and calms my anxious heart💜Thank you for creating a place for us to go when we need a little inspiration.
Your videos bring me such inspiration and peace. I look forward to watching this after work today! Also congrats on graduating! I'm so proud of you and happy for you!
I’ve ordered from Choosing Keeping multiple times, and my packaging has never looked like yours in the videos. Lovely supplies nonetheless. Just keeping it real and honest over here.
You aren’t on TH-cam so it doesn’t surprise me that you haven’t gotten things packaged this nice. Just shows how different the company treats people with an audience better than their bread and butter. Sad, really
I had wondered about this! In one of the early videos they sent her a package wrapped in a piece of paper they were selling for like $100 on their website. I was like, surely no way are they gonna send me that as wrapping paper.
The Victorian puzzle purses turned out so lovely! I think I might try to make one as well. Also, congratulations on graduating, it is a huge milestone 💗
ugh i wish i could afford to buy something from Choosing Keeping!! the bee wax seal that looks like honey is so so cute. congrats on graduating & thank you for sharing these beautiful artworks with us
Congratulations on your graduation 🧑🎓. I am happy to see you again. Your videos are so beautiful, relaxing and inspiring, beautiful. I really love and enjoy. 😊 ❤🎉
Larning that they're called "german die cuts" is really awesome. They used to be huge in my country, but in my language they were merely called "gloss paintings" and I've been wanting to search them up online for years, but never having been able to find the English translation. Your video is both educational and a visual feast!
I'm super happy to see you back!! I hope you are doing well. I can't wait to finish watching your new video. Your art inspire me to create my own videos.
I love your videos, so peaceful. I would love to have a set of paints like yours , please share with me what brand and set you are using and the palette you have them in.
What a lovely video! I'm curious why on some sections, you added the background color around the painted designs, but on other sections, you painted the whole background and added the designs on top of it.
Not sure about the brushes she's using, but she's mentioned in other comments that she uses Mijello gouache paints! but if you want brush recs that don't break the bank i'd go with brushes made of either: Synthetic squirrel Synthetic sable Golden taklon Nylon
@@kimberly_5682 writing this down!! i've been working with the worst quality paints and brushes so i really appreciate this, thanks sm for the recs! :)
I kept thinking that's so different wax.. and after watching it carefully now I get it. It's lac. And they look so nice like sugar candy almost see through.
I would love to have a list of all products you use and where they are available for purchase. I love your work! I'm curious. Why not paint the background first then paint your design over the solid colors? Isn't that gauche? Love this so much.
For anyone wondering the song names after going through the whole playlist like I did and not finding them: Into The Clouds - Megan Wolfford Water Lilies - Mathilda Skonare Karlsson The Willow - Anna Landström Gymnopédie No. 1 - Erik Satie, Philippe Entremont Waltz in a Field at Sunset - Will Harrison You’re welcome ❤
I adore ur craft sm and i bet your friends r soo lucky to have u, I've been thinking of gifting my friends more handmade stuff as welll but im kinda worried itll be just a piece of paper to them:,,)

thank you this is a godsend, would you happen to know the gsm of the paper she uses as well?

thank, i was wondering, it look too covering to be true watercolor
Thanks for the information. I wonder if one should put a varnish over the beautiful painting? It would last longer.
Oh this made me a little emotional…the space for actual words is so small, but you don’t need them…the design and the craft speaks so much of care and love
Congratulations on your graduation! Lovely to see a new creative video from you. Thank you for bringing us along!

My first time seeing this!! I LOVE IT!! How GORGEOUS 💗💗
Me too, just now…I am utterly transfixed and inspiring.

Imagine being loved this much
What a frickin' steady hand! Great vintage idea! Cheers and gracias.
Thank you! Your patience with each process is so admirable!
30 minutes of pure delight. Lucky friends!
You are an incredibly talented artist. Your art and crafting inspires me and calms my anxious heart💜Thank you for creating a place for us to go when we need a little inspiration.
Heyya 👋🏽 Great video. Just a hack: if you put the stamp seal in ice a couple of minutes before using it, it'll stick less to the wax ❤
Your videos bring me such inspiration and peace. I look forward to watching this after work today!
Also congrats on graduating! I'm so proud of you and happy for you!
I’ve ordered from Choosing Keeping multiple times, and my packaging has never looked like yours in the videos. Lovely supplies nonetheless. Just keeping it real and honest over here.
good to know actually!

Sad, really

Yeah these nice packages are for PR. That's how it always goes with businesses unfortunately. Makeup brands do this a lot.
Si heureuse de retrouver vos vidéos!!! Voir de telles créations en écoutant la musique d'Erik Satie: un grand merci pour ce momment de calme
The Victorian puzzle purses turned out so lovely! I think I might try to make one as well. Also, congratulations on graduating, it is a huge milestone 💗
Wow this would be the most amazing thing to receive or give! Just beautiful.
i just love how much care you put into these ❤
Why is it always so inspirational? I love your art!
Congratulations on your dedication nd hard work which resulted in your graduation! I am completely proud of you!!
These puzzle purses are awesome, I gotta try to do one myself, and I’ll make mine Medieval-themed. Thanks for the inspiration!
I was having a stressful weekend. Your video helped calm my nerves, and for that, thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Seeing new beautiful and comforting video from you almost made tear up, what a good day☺

Perfection, thank you for sharing ❤
I think I just found my new favorite channel!
What a lovely video! I'm curious why on some sections, you added the background color around the painted designs, but on other sections, you painted the whole background and added the designs on top of it.
My favorite TH-camr just uploaded a new video!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations on graduating. 🎓🎊
Love your work
Merveilleux ❤
Congratulations on graduating!!!!
Wow this was Superb
Oh. Your design on those puzzle purses would look equally adorable as printed silk scarves. Just a thought! X
What paints and paintbrushes to you use?? I was so mesmerized by how smoothly and seamlessly it all glided! Amazingly beautiful work
Not sure about the brushes she's using, but she's mentioned in other comments that she uses Mijello gouache paints!
but if you want brush recs that don't break the bank i'd go with brushes made of either:
Synthetic squirrel
Synthetic sable
Golden taklon
Nylon
@@kimberly_5682 writing this down!! i've been working with the worst quality paints and brushes so i really appreciate this, thanks sm for the recs! :)
so relaxing to watch!! 🥺🥺 would anyone know the brand/name of the brush used for painting the treasures? it seems to be SO GOOD!! 🥹
I kept thinking that's so different wax.. and after watching it carefully now I get it. It's lac. And they look so nice like sugar candy almost see through.
This is so nice.
Perfection❤
Exquisite ❤
Perfect ❤
what kind of paints are you using for the Victorian puzzles!! it looks so smooth and nice
She's using Mijello gouache paints

They are absolutely gorgeous you have the patience of a saint…how long Dora’s it take you per envelope?
I would love to have a list of all products you use and where they are available for purchase. I love your work! I'm curious. Why not paint the background first then paint your design over the solid colors? Isn't that gauche? Love this so much.
