Hi Insiders!
|
This week we want to tell you about more new mugs (including our personal all-time favorites), new features and content on Patreon, and - HOT off the press - a major website update we made this morning.
|

|
Blobby Birds Fun!
|
|
Aren't these mugs cute?! They all feature a pair of blobby birds, and the hashtag #paintabirdaday on one side and the words "keep the blues away" on the other. They come in multiple color choices so you can mix and match to create a really fun set of mugs for your studio, art group, friends, family... or just for your morning coffee, to remind you to paint a bird a day to keep the blues away!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can see all of our mugs in one place on the Products page of our website.

Incidentally, those of you who've been following our YouTube channel for a while might be wondering why we broke with tradition and created the series of blobby bird vertical format 'mini-tutorials' recently (the ones we've turned into these cute mugs).
|
|
The reason is simply that YouTube has started to allow shorts up to 3 minutes long - and when YouTube releases a new feature we like to learn about it as soon as we can :)
|
|
|
|
|
At some point, when they get around to it, we're told that these little videos will be moved into our library of 'Shorts', but for now they're all still in the 'Videos' library.
|
|
|
If you think you may have missed some of the blobby bird mini-tutorials, you can watch them all in our #paintabirdaday playlist.

New on Patreon
|
Membership Gifting is a BRAND NEW Feature!
|
A couple of days ago, Patreon launched an exciting new feature - Membership Gifting - and we're one of the first Creators to have access!
|
|
This new feature allows you to purchase a month, a year, or a custom number of months of membership to any tier of our Patreon community, as a gift for a loved one.
|
(Or maybe a loved one would like to buy one for YOU... nudge, nudge, wink, wink...!)
|
|
It's simple to do. Once you've completed the purchase, you'll receive a link to send to the recipient of the gift. They simply click the link to redeem the gift.

To Inspire You...
|
|
Remember the days of albums, when we owned just a few and knew every track? I've noticed over the years that the easier it's become to listen to anything, anytime, the less I've found myself listening to anything, ever.
|
|
|
Now and then I find my music app and tell it to play something and today, rather ironically, as I came to this 'Inspiration' segment of the newsletter and wondered what to write, I found myself listening to "Listen to the Music"!
|
|
|
Some of the lyrics seem quite appropriate for this world we now live in, where the news seems to do nothing but divide us and make us sadder. So here's a voice from the past - perhaps to remind us that we aren't alone.
|
|
|
|
Don't you feel it growing day by day,
People getting ready for the news.
Some are happy, some are sad
Oh, we got to let the music play.
|
What the people need
Is a way to make 'em smile,
It ain't so hard to do if you know how.
|
Well, I know you know better,
Everything I say,
Meet me in the country for a day.
We'll be happy and we'll dance,
Oh, we're gonna dance our blues away.
|
And if I'm feeling good to you
And you're feeling good to me,
There ain't nothing we can't do or say.
|
Feelin’ good, feeling fine, Oh, baby, let the music play.
...
