Jane Davenport Blog

I made a little series of paintings and videos to show the Ranger Dabbers in action for my store,  the Institute of Cute. I am trying to make more videos for the store as my customers find them really helpful…. plus, I love making videos!

I Use the Ranger Dabbers rather differently than the way they were originally intended  – I think they are fantastic for Art Journals and well, art in general!

The sign off is so funny, where I saw the stores web address- but even though i split my sides laughing every time I hear it,  Its so happy! Making the little vids was a great exercise as I really stuck to the color ranges I have created.

And Although I made a video of the Skin Accents Collection – something glitchy occurred, and, well the footage – -poof- disappeared! And that prompted me to re-organise my filming set-up… which prompted a whole Studio re-do!

So it’s been a BUSY few days with filming, editing, moving, cleaning and re-shuffling.

If you enjoy the vids, come shopping at the Institute of Cute any time!
