So I'm a YouTuber now

A spirited attempt at shaking up my online presence.

Plunging in feet first, I’ve published my first YouTube video. It’s called Instagram vs YouTube [CALM WINTER STUDIO VLOG] in which I get up to all sorts of art-making and wintery activities, while a little awkwardly chatting through some thoughts on Instagram vs YouTube.

Behold…

Find it here too.

I've been looking at the big picture of my online ecosystem because I’m finding Instagram a noisy, overwhelming, less fruitful, less community-oriented place to be as a creator these days.

I have a few new ideas up my sleeve, but to start, maybe YouTube is a place where you can still connect with a community and make valuable, slower content.

I'm giving it a go to find out.

A few highlights from June’s vlog

• Some lino printing, drawing Imaginationscapes and photography

• A day out wood cutting and looking at fungi

• Our winter solstice potluck party

• Crocheting by the fire (an essential winter activity)

• A trip to the Repair Cafe

• A super cute loungeroom skillshare session, teaching some new friends how to visibly mend

• Tellie and podcast recommendations are scattered throughout

It was a pretty fun experience to make, and much more low-fuss than I expected, so I think I’ll make another one for July and see where this takes me.

As they say in the biz: don’t forget to like and subscribe! Oh geez… it’s a whole new world. 🥴

Thanks for coming along on this journey with me.
