Hey everyone,
You were all so encouraging with my first video that I got to it and made another. Lol. How is it possible that I am more scared to post my second video than the first?! Maybe because I want to keep doing a good job for you. Hopefully after I'm done a few the jitters will go away ;)
Watercolour Technique using Mohair Wool
This one is a Watercolour Technique using Mohair Wool to create subtle background texture. This technique works with any fur-like fibre. I actually stumbled across it by accident thanks to one of my cats. The story is at the end of the video ;)
I use Dylusions ink sprays to demonstrate the effect but you can also use Watercolour Paints, Tombow Markers, or most inks/water-based paints.
The video is 4 minutes long. I'm trying to keep my video tutorials short while being as clear as possible. I would love for you to leave me a comment. They really motivate me to step out of my comfort zone to make more videos for you :) Here goes!
Bye for now,
Ryn
Hi Ryn! Another fantastic video showing a great technique. I will add Mohair Wool to my stash ! Hugs, Shirleyxx

Hey Maria, hope you enjoy it :)
DeleteI too liked your 2nd video, Ryn.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea with the wool.
Did you get a 'lovely coloured' cat when she/he rolled over your work ;o)
Yes, I did ;)
DeleteAs always, beautiful work Ryn. Love this technique and it's now in my memory banks just waiting for me to use it.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Debbie. Feels good to know that you like what I come up with!
DeleteBrilliant technique Ryn and another fabulous video.
ReplyDeleteYou're an absolute natural - more vids please xxxxxx
Aw, thanks Yvonne :)
DeleteOooh! I've probably got some mohair, left over from failed knitting project! Great video Ryn.
ReplyDeletehehe, I can't knit anything other than rectangles and squares. I sew them together Tetris style and call them a quilt ;) Hope you enjoy the technique if you try it!
DeleteGreat ideas often come from happy accidents - thanks for showing us this one. Off to hunt for wool right now.
ReplyDeleteSo true Wendy :)
DeleteThanks for the tutorial. Another film in a quick manner showing great technique. Thank you for the inspiration and I look forward to more.
ReplyDeleteThe genesis of the art very surprising:-) I wonder how kitty looked after the act of creating?
Regards,
Bozena
haha, she was a multicolored cat! Her white fur made a perfect canvas ;) Thanks for the feedback and support Bozena. I'm glad that you like the length of the videos. I'm trying to keep them all under 5 mins.
DeleteThat is so original. Thanks to your kitty and your creativity. Will definitely try this.
ReplyDeleteHi Ryn, Thank you for the great easy to follow tutorial -a wonderful idea using the wool ! It gives a unique design. Love to watch your videos - well done! Sharon
DeleteThank you so much for the support Linda and Bluedory :)
DeleteWOW! What a great technique, gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGood tutorial, easy to follow! I like how you adjust the process as needed - it shows there is no set recipe for getting the results. I learn much more from that then when you'd do it without rewetting the paper, it shows the importance of it. (And that I don't have to go easy on the ink/water).
ReplyDeleteGoing to order again soon, been waiting long enough, getting withdrawal symptoms!
ps: loved all your cards you showed! December was very very busy for me, seems things are quieting down a bit now, so got a bit of time to craft, read blogs and make a blogpost again!
Hey Debbie, thanks for the feedback about me showing how I adjust the process. I learned that from Kellie Murton (on my DT). She shows and explains her whole thought process which I found to be very helpful as well :) I'm glad that you liked my cards though December. Hope you had a good Christmas/New Years even if busy :) Can't wait to see what you come up with when you get into crafting again! Talk soon, Ryn
DeleteYou're a rock start Ryn! Great tutorial for all levels of artists. Great effect and an excellent tutorial!
ReplyDeleteLol. Thanks so much for the support Kellie. You really helped me to get going. Can't thank you enough :)
DeleteHope you´ll do more videos soon! I especially like the fact that they´re short (and you explain everything really well). Thank you!
