Happy New Year! In this episode, we will talk about resetting our studio for the new year and what to hang onto and what to declutter. The past two years have been weird with supply shortages and price increases in all areas of life including art supplies and with recent news of certain paint pigments being in short supply I thought it would be a good time to take inventory and see what e have and might want to hang on to. I hope you enjoy the podcast!

2021/10/29

In today's rambling episode we will discuss sustainability in the crafting industry and why our crafting might not be as green as it once was. I'm no angel in this department, I get excited about new supplies and probably could create for the rest of my life without having to buy much else and I certainly don't upcycle as much as I used to. Why is that? How can we do better? That's what we will discuss today. I hope you enjoy it!

Today on the podcast we're talking about archivability in your art and craftwork. I think people stress, often needlessly, about the longevity of everything they make. Where it does make sense to be mindful of lightfastness and archivablity it should come in the way of experimentation and enjoying the process of art-making. Here is the painting with saltwater article I mentioned. https://thefrugalcrafter.wordpress.com/2018/10/05/artsy-experiment-lets-paint-with-salt-water/

Art Supply Inflation?

The Frugal Crafter Blog ·

2021/08/27

Hi friends! I recently came across some old tubes of watercolor with the price tags on them that I bought 20 years ago and I realized that the price isn't much different than what we would pay today so I got to thinking about inflations, or maybe lack thereof, in art and craft supplies. How can companies continue to sell paint at the prices we paid 20 years ago when everything else costs more? We will discuss that in today's episode.
