Hello and welcome back to a bonus video of filling up my train case. In this video I’m pretending like I am going to a fun artsy crafty weekend and taking my magical suitcase with me. I have filled it up with paints, pens, stickers and ephemera. So let’s go and I’ll show you what I’m taking with me.

We did it! We have made our Train Case all your own. In this video I show you how I make final touches and plan to seal the artwork on my magical traincase. As I mention in the video, plan to continue to add bits of artwork so I won’t be sealing the “body” of the train case just yet. Also, I plan on coming back and adding one last video to this series to show you how I plan to fill it up with all my on the go Art Supplies! Thank you so much for joining me on this adventure. I hope you had fun! See you soon!

Hello and welcome to the New Video Series~ Creating a Whimsical Train Case. If you do not have a train case, you can use a paper mache box as well! I wanted to give a suggested supply list. This is another project that you can use up your stash as well.
- Acrylic paint~ choose your colors
- Paintbrushes~ several sizes, large for covering big surfaces and thinner for finer details
- Gesso
- Pencil for sketching
- Black pen for outlining (Micron Archival Ink)
- Sealant: Liquidix Matte Medium or Collage Pauge
- Paper~ hymnal pages, one sided cardstock, napkins, tissue paper, book pages, diecuts, ephemera
- ribbon, lace, pom pom trim, material
- Glue for Trim (Fabri-fix)
The plan is to add paint and designs to the outside and beautify the inside with papers and trims. Here is a quick intro video:
Welcome back to the final video in the Nostalgic Summer Memories. We have covered all Five of the senses this last week, sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. In this video I wanted to just get creative with you so I am going to document a few stories without photos. These are just a couple of random stories I have of past summer memories. I’m using marker, index cards, ephemera bits and stickers to decorate these stories. Thanks for following along in this video series and I’ll see you in my next video!
XO, Rebecca
