How to repaint photo frames

Hi everyone! Just a quick post to tell you that I've finally uploaded my first Youtube video. It's not a doll video and it's quite simple, but I wanted something easy to get started. Also, I've been wanting to repaint this frames for a while, so this got me a good excuse.




Repainting photo frames is quite a simple thing, but I wanted something easy to follow with written instructions. For now I'm not planning on speaking on my videos, since my english pronunciation is much worse than my grammar LOL.  Here's the video:


It didn't end up looking as professional as I wanted it to be, and it also took me longer than expected. However, I hope to get better at it and improve the quality on future videos. I already have a couple of ideas, but probably I won't have time until June.

 I would really appreciate your feedback on this video and any constructive critics will be welcome. Thanks for watchin!

 M.C.

    What a great idea! I will have to find you on YouTube and subscribe. :) I love watching people paint or do crafts as I find it very relaxing. I like that you didn't talk as it added to the "relaxing" part of the video (even though I would love to hear your voice and accent!). My only suggestion would maybe to put the camera a little bit closer, but I think it's good just as it is anyway.

      Hi Farrah Lily! I actually wanted to film like a cenital frame, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. I totally agree, the camera should be closer, but the space is limited and we hadn't many possiblities. I'll try to figure out what to do next time. I think that I have a very high voice, so probably you won't find that relaxing, hahahaha!

    I thought it was really good! Of course, I have never done a YouTube video in my life so I really can't give you any hints! Did Mr. Monster help you with the taping?

      Hi Phyllis, I'm glad that you like it! Mr. Monster was behind the camera checking out that I didn't go off camera or that I didn't put my nose right in front of it (I have a tendecy to put my face too close to what I'm painting). He also did the zoom in the last part.

    Very nice! I agree with Farrah that it was very relaxing. I find a lot of craft videos jump too fast for me to keep up or they show only a snippet of what they are working on and then bam, there's the finished product. I like that you were pulled far away but I know that for smaller crafts you'll need to find a way to get closer.

    Looking forward to more!

      Hi Muff. I'm glad that you find it relaxing! I wasn't sure about the lenght of the video, as I didn't want it to be too long and make people skip to the end because it was too boring. I have a couple of ideas for future videos, like a Barbie accessories repaint video. Thank you so much for your feedback, I really appreciate it.

How to make a doll TV that "works"

Hi again! It's just taken me over a month to write a new post. I've been keeping myself busy: I'm doing an online marketing course, Mr. Monster and I are trying to do some sport, so I can't quite find time in my spare time for blogging. Also, my laptop crashed again and I have to borrow Mr. Monster's. The other reason why it took me so long is that I wanted to bring you something more creative than another doll review. So, if I can't find the time to sit down and write, I even have less time to craft. So, as you may have guessed by the title, today I'm going to show you how to do a doll TV in which you can change what's on the screen. I actually came up with this idea a couple of years ago and I was inspired by I toy that I had as a child. However, I never found the time or the patience to work on it until now. So, if you are curious to see how I did it, just keep reading.

Retro Review: Barbie Travelin' House playset (1995)

Hi again, doll lovers! How is your summer going so far? Jeez, this summer is keeping me busy. Our house makeover is finally taking off. We've been busy meeting with the contractor and choosing the materials. At first I was quite frustrated because I didn't see any progress, but now I finally see it moving, slowly but steady. Also, both Mr. Monster and I got sick a couple of weeks ago, which didn't leave with much time left to play with dolls. Anyway, I'm finally here with a new blog post. A while back Barb posted on her blog about a doll she had as child. On that post, I told her about this playset and I thought it would be interesting to show it to you guys. Also, Barb, I hope you don't mind that I've been mentioning you like in 4 out of 5 blog posts lately. I hope you guys find it interesting, both if you had this as a child or if you are just curious about Barbie playsets. Let's start!

The return of Monster High

Image
Hello and welcome back to my blog. Today I want to do something that I don't do that often and that it's write an opinionated post. I don't typically talk about doll news or comment on dolls I don't own yet, but from time to time I like to do something different. Please, keep in mind that is my own personal opinion, which is subjective. Also, my criticism is meant to be constructive, and not meant to disrespect the designers involved or their work. If anything, my main critiques are directed to Mattel as a whole. I will also try to break this post into sections, for easy reading. And now, let's finally get into it.   A while back, it was announced that Monster High will be making a comeback. If you have been following me for a while, you know that I love Monster High. Hence, my nickname is "Monster Crafts". However, since the line was discontinued around 2016-2017, I have been focusing more on my Barbie dolls.  A little backstory on Monster High For those
