On a break

04/14/2019Leave a comment

Hi all.

I know I haven’t posted in a while so I just wanted to let you know that Christelle’s Art Factory is taking a break to recharge batteries well deplenished.

It does mean that Issue 13 of the emails will be late and I won’t be posting videos and articles for a while – apologies for this, my faithful readers.

The universe has been telling me for a good while now to slow down and stop to catch my breath. I have been ignoring it long enough, going on like a trooper, but I have reached the point that I can no longer ignore the signs.

But I promise you I will be back as soon as I can on YouTube, Vimeo and the blog.

Until next time…

Thank you all so much for your support xxx

I am starting this new video series, Playing With Patterns, first as a fun way to explore mark making, but also to demonstrate how easy it is to create when you explore and rely on patterns.

Part 1 is now available to watch and download from my Youtube and Vimeo channels; just click on the image below for the links and extra info:

I hope you join in and have fun…

Much love x

The Pili Pala Art Etsy Shop Is Now Closed

12/23/201812/23/2018Leave a comment

Yes, you are reading right – after a very long thinking process, I have decided to close my Etsy shop, Pili Pala Art.

My circumstances have changed drastically since I first opened the shop, and, for the last year and a half, I have been struggling to find the necessary time to manage and market both my online shop and create classes, videos and blog posts. As a consequence, something had to give and I had to make a choice on what was most important to me.

I have therefore decided to focus on offering free content to you all, and will be continuing to create YouTube videos as often as I’m able to.

So, rest in peace Pili Pala Art…

All Shapes & Forms Video Tutorial

My new tutorial video is now ready on Youtube and Vimeo.

Click on the image below for the video links and more info

After over 3 years of having a Melissa & Doug poster paints set, I finally decided to give it a try. It’s not super opaque, but I still really like it. The choice of colours in the set is very nice and, obviously, you can mix them to create more.

I hope you enjoy this testing video.

Oh by the way, my new kitten Maya is featuring in this video, and also “collaborating” in the art making as well – she is so talented! Lol!

Thank you for reading and watching.

Much love x
