Does your head ever spin so much that you can't sleep?  That was me last night. I had decided it was time to try to do my first You Tube art video and I tossed and turned trying to decide what I would start with.  I get so many questions about storing my mini pastels that I thought it would make a good You Tube video.

A selection of display & storage options for mini pastels

I just needed to figure out how to do one!  I have only recently discovered You Tube. Sure I knew about it but I didn't realize it was a treasure trove of great videos on any subject that interests you. I found a video interview with Tony Hillerman and a video on how to speak Navajo. (some of my current interests)  So why not put some of my tips on You Tube?

So  I am going to start a new blog feature called Friday Feature: What's in my Studio.  I will blog and post a You Tube video featuring art supplies, techniques and tips that I have found helpful. If you have suggestions for topics please let me know!

WHERE TO FIND ATC/ACEO mini SUPPLIES

• I find frames and mini easels at local craft/hobby and art stores. I have even found mini frames at Walmart!
• I like Jerry's Artarama for their wide selection of ATC supplies. They have the Krystal Klear bags and mats as well as precut 2.5 x 3.5 paper.  Here is the link to their ATC page
• http://www.jerrysartarama.com/discount-art-supplies/artist-trading-cards.htm
• I have found 5x7 and 8x10 mats with 2.5x3.5 openings on Ebay. Do a search to find a seller.

Here is my first installment of the Friday Feature. I hope you enjoy it. If you don't have time to watch or listen (it's about 6 minutes) you can save it in your You Tube playlist until you have a chance to tune in
