Elizabeth Barrick: Hi, guys. Elizabeth Barrick: how are you? I'm so happy you're here. I love these classes. They're so much fun for me, and I hope they are for you, too. Today we're gonna do a super fun class where we are going to be making these really fun egg stamps. Elizabeth Barrick: Look at that. It's from. Elizabeth Barrick: So can you imagine Elizabeth Barrick: so so fun. So if your adult is near, they are going to be need to help you slice the potato. So if you don't have your adult nea
r you yet. You might wanna go grab them right now so they can help you on this one thing. And then, after that I think you're gonna be pretty good to do it on your own. So let's go ahead and talk about our supplies that we need. So I'm gonna switch my camera around Elizabeth Barrick: so that you can see here we go. Brace yourselves, whoop! There we go. Okay. So Elizabeth Barrick: we totally want to see your finished product, though, so would you please tag us at learn with Michael's? Have your a
dult or Elizabeth Barrick: and me. I'm at La Underscore cozy, underscore Gasita, and these are both on Instagram. You can hashtag us so we can see your projects. We wanna see what colors you chose. We wanna see if you use a big potato or a little potato. It's super super fun for us to see how your class turned out. So would you use the hashtag, learn with Michael's Elizabeth Barrick: or make it with Michael's or Michael's classes. So I'm gonna leave that there for just a second while we go over
our supplies. And also, if you would like to write in the QA. Your name. Elizabeth Barrick: if you want your age where you're tuning in from so that we can give you a shout out Nicole and I love to give shout outs. It's so fun! It helps make our class super fun and engaging. So we would love that. So let's go ahead and talk the wise. You are going to need a heavy duty paper Elizabeth Barrick: so like a card stock. Elizabeth Barrick: And so I tore this out of the drawing pads. So it's a thicker p
aper, and you're gonna need something a little thicker so that the paint doesn't bleed through on the other side. Elizabeth Barrick: So you want something a little thicker than just regular copy paper. Elizabeth Barrick: And what's fun about this is, after you're done making your stamps, and it dries. You could fold it Elizabeth Barrick: and use it as an Easter card. Wouldn't that be cool so you could use it as an Easter card? You could use it as wrapping whatever you think? Super super cool? Ok
ay, we're gonna use our. Elizabeth Barrick: we. I have 2 boxes of paint here. You don't have to use Elizabeth Barrick: both. I just love the metallic paint that's out right now. I love it. It's so shimmery. And that's how we got this shimmer look. Elizabeth Barrick: So let me see if I can move this around a little bit. This one's even more shimmery. There you go. Elizabeth Barrick: Can you see that shimmer? So I used it on. I use the shimmer, the metallic for the pink and the yellow. This one wa
s the flat color. So you see, it doesn't shimmer. Elizabeth Barrick: And then on this egg and this row of eggs. I use a mixture between the metallic and Elizabeth Barrick: the regular acrylic. Elizabeth Barrick: So that is what you're gonna use. So acrylic. It just keeps things stuck to your potato. So I wouldn't use something like watercolors. That's not really gonna work here. The acrylic is really what works on the potato. Okay? Elizabeth Barrick: So you're gonna use your curly paint, and of
course you need a paint brush or 2. So if you've taken my class before we use these paint brushes quite a bit. I love these because they don't roll around. They're kind of like a triangle. You see that Elizabeth Barrick: I love that. And then we're gonna have to carve out Elizabeth Barrick: these shapes. Elizabeth Barrick: We're gonna have to carve out the design from the middle of the potato. So what I recommend doing is you could use a straight Elizabeth Barrick: paintbrush. Elizabeth Barrick:
See? This one doesn't have the triangle on it. Elizabeth Barrick: and you could use this as a carving tool. Elizabeth Barrick: You could use a pencil as a carving tool. Elizabeth Barrick: You could use a skewer. This is a bamboo skewer. And actually, I used Elizabeth Barrick: the end Elizabeth Barrick: instead of the sharp point of the bamboo skewer. Now, if you're gonna do something like really elaborate. So if you're joining us and you're an older kid, you can totally go like do really elabor
ate carvings on your potato. And then I would recommend using the point side. But if you're just gonna do some basic things like this. Elizabeth Barrick: I'm using the side of the skewer. So even these little dots here. Elizabeth Barrick: I use the skewer in the potato this part. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay, and I'll show you. Don't worry. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay. And then I just grab some other tools that I had laying around. I've got this. I've got some tooth picks. Elizabeth Barrick: I'm sure if
you just kinda look around, just get creative, you're gonna see a lot of tools that you could use. I have these little plastic needles I could use. Elizabeth Barrick: You could use a pen where you're not pushing out the end. That's a marker. But you could use that. You could use one of these mechanical pencils. Elizabeth Barrick: So just kind of be creative with your tool that you're gonna actually be carving the potato with. Okay, so those are all the ideas for that. Elizabeth Barrick: Of cours
e, anytime you're using paint always like to have a roll of paper towels around always like to have wet wipes. Elizabeth Barrick: because I don't have a sink up here. We're gonna use just a little bit of water a lot of times, we think when it's time to wash our paint brush, we fill it all the way to the top, and that's double trouble. Do you know why? Because it's easy to spill our water? So you really just need a little bit of water in a cup. Elizabeth Barrick: Now I say that one of these days
I'm going to spill my water. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay. Elizabeth Barrick: let me move this out of the way because I gotta show you what else you're gonna need. Elizabeth Barrick: You are going to need Elizabeth Barrick: potatoes, of course, and these are the types of potatoes that I bought. It doesn't matter the brand Elizabeth Barrick: but I like these little potatoes. These are called little Dutch yellow. It doesn't matter if they're yellow or red, but Elizabeth Barrick: if you notice Elizabeth
Barrick: they're kind of long and oval in shape. And so when you cut these Elizabeth Barrick: length-wise and I'll show you in a second. Elizabeth Barrick: it's gonna give you the shape of a an egg or an oval. And so that's kinda I think one day I was just making dinner. I thought, oh, my word! Do you remember potato stamps? How fun would it be to use these little tiny ones. Elizabeth Barrick: So that's where I got the info. I was making potatoes one day, or sliced potatoes or something. Alrigh
t. You need a cutting board. This is for your adult and a sharp knife. Elizabeth Barrick: So we're going to cut a couple of potatoes. Elizabeth Barrick: So if you Elizabeth Barrick: want your potatoes Elizabeth Barrick: to all be the same. Elizabeth Barrick: Size. Elizabeth Barrick: Then just keep that in mind. Okay. So this was a potato stamp that I used for green. Elizabeth Barrick: But then I started adding a little more of the other colors. So I came over here into this row. Elizabeth Barric
k: So this is the same potato. Elizabeth Barrick: then over here. This is a different potato. And so is this one. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay? So even though they're different potatoes. Aside from these, these were this, this was stamped with the same potato. It's I try to get the same size Elizabeth Barrick: so. Elizabeth Barrick: and you can do big potatoes, little potatoes. It does not matter, but if it matters to you that they look like they came from the same potato. Elizabeth Barrick: Try to g
rab potatoes that are the same size. Elizabeth Barrick: So you're just gonna take a peek at the potatoes that you have. Look at here. These 2 look pretty similar in size, don't they? So I'm not gonna use this one. And I'm not gonna use this one Elizabeth Barrick: and also keep in mind that you get 2 stamps for every potato, because you're cutting the potato in half. So you have 2 sides. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay? So and you know, I've got a whole bag of potatoes here, so I can do several. But I'm
just gonna grab these 2. They're close enough to me Elizabeth Barrick: in shape. So those are the potatoes I'm gonna use. Elizabeth Barrick: And I'm going to show your adults Elizabeth Barrick: how you could cut this. Now Elizabeth Barrick: some of my friends might say, hey? I could use a plastic Elizabeth Barrick: butter knife like a plastic one, and you probably could, but Elizabeth Barrick: the plastic butter knife Elizabeth Barrick: is where you would get maybe some grooves in your potato, a
nd then that's gonna show up. Elizabeth Barrick: So if that doesn't matter to you, go for it. Elizabeth Barrick: But if you want a smooth potato, I say, get your result to cut it down the middle for you. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay. So all we're gonna do Elizabeth Barrick: is Elizabeth Barrick: so you could either turn it Elizabeth Barrick: on the thin side and slice it right down Elizabeth Barrick: middle. Elizabeth Barrick: not around the equator. Elizabeth Barrick: not through the middle this way
, because if you cut it this way you're gonna get more of a circle. Elizabeth Barrick: so we're cutting it vertically Elizabeth Barrick: so you could either cut it on the thicker side or turn it Elizabeth Barrick: and cut it on the thinner side. I'm just going to cut it on the thicker side here. Elizabeth Barrick: So that's going to give us Elizabeth Barrick: pretty tiny Elizabeth Barrick: that's going to give us a pretty tiny egg. Elizabeth Barrick: I might try to get the bigger one, because th
at's gonna allow me, it's gonna allow you all to see it a little better. So I'm gonna get the bigger one just for that purpose. Elizabeth Barrick: so that you can see it. Elizabeth Barrick: Look at that one that's even bigger. Elizabeth Barrick: Let's go with. Elizabeth Barrick: Let's go with that middle one. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay? Elizabeth Barrick: So again. Elizabeth Barrick: I'm going to cut Elizabeth Barrick: this way. Elizabeth Barrick: So I'm going to have this looks like a jelly bean,
doesn't it? Elizabeth Barrick: So that's what it looks like when you cut it down the broader side. Let me show you what it looks like when you cut it this way, so if you turn it to the skinnier side. Elizabeth Barrick: Sure, you get your fingers out of the way. I didn't grab my Elizabeth Barrick: my super great nights. Elizabeth Barrick: so if you cut it on the skinnier side. You're actually going to get a wider potato. Elizabeth Barrick: If you cut it on the wider side, you're going to get a sk
innier potato. So it's the opposite. Elizabeth Barrick: See that? Who knew? Right? Elizabeth Barrick: Okay. So Elizabeth Barrick: now it's time for the carving. Elizabeth Barrick: So once you get your potatoes. Elizabeth Barrick: now we're going to start carting. Elizabeth Barrick: and I'm just gonna grab a little bit of a paper towel so you can see that it's starting to sweat Elizabeth Barrick: a little bit. Elizabeth Barrick: I'm just gonna dab it and they will continue to sweat. Elizabeth Bar
rick: and we'll especially need to dab Elizabeth Barrick: them Elizabeth Barrick: before we put the paint on. Oh, I forgot to say one more thing Elizabeth Barrick: anytime. We Elizabeth Barrick: paint. I always like to have Elizabeth Barrick: like a plastic lid handy. You could use a plastic plate, a takeout lid because we're gonna score our paint on this Elizabeth Barrick: and that way we'll use our paint brush on this little palette Elizabeth Barrick: instead of just dipping it right in the pa
int spot. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay, so you'll need some type of plastic lid or palette. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay. Elizabeth Barrick: you ready to go. Elizabeth Barrick: Let's do it Elizabeth Barrick: alright. I'm going to put these. Elizabeth Barrick: you know. Elizabeth Barrick: Potato is oxidized just like apples. Do Elizabeth Barrick: they turn colors and potatoes actually turn like a grayish brown. Some turn a little bit red. So I'm just putting these face down Elizabeth Barrick: on a paper to
wel. Elizabeth Barrick: And I'm just gonna let them Elizabeth Barrick: work there. Elizabeth Barrick: juice their juices out there. Okay. Elizabeth Barrick: so let's set this aside Elizabeth Barrick: and let's start carving. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay, so I'm I'm gonna show you the most simple, which is just a pencil. Okay, so you are going to whatever you wanna do, I'm gonna go for Elizabeth Barrick: this same pattern over here. Elizabeth Barrick: So I'm going to make kind of like a little bended
line. Elizabeth Barrick: and if you make a bended line like that, it gives the illusion of a rounded egg. Elizabeth Barrick: If you go straight across, you're not going to get that rounded egg. Look that you're kind of going for. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay. So just like Elizabeth Barrick: it's just like a little. You kind of like. Elizabeth Barrick: barely barely Elizabeth Barrick: doing much. I can use this here. Okay, so Elizabeth Barrick: right up here Elizabeth Barrick: and you'll hear. Elizabe
th Barrick: Do you hear that I don't know if you can hear it or not. Elizabeth Barrick: It's kind of working its way into the potato. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay? Elizabeth Barrick: So you want to get Elizabeth Barrick: make your little section here Elizabeth Barrick: you want to. Carving is just making Elizabeth Barrick: an indention. It doesn't have to be super deep. Elizabeth Barrick: but deep enough that you'll be able to see it. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay, let me grab another piece piece of paper
towel Elizabeth Barrick: and get this extra potato off. Elizabeth Barrick: Here we go. Elizabeth Barrick: So when you clean that off. Elizabeth Barrick: So Elizabeth Barrick: that's the look that a pencil will give you. Elizabeth Barrick: I'm going to zoom in a little. Elizabeth Barrick: And are you guys doing okay? Nicole - Michaels: Seems like so far, so good, Elizabeth, we do have a shout at. Elizabeth Barrick: I love it! Nicole - Michaels: Alright. So we have Eliza and Jolene from Lindsey, C
alifornia. Eliza is 8, and Jolene is 9, and they say, Hello. Elizabeth Barrick: Hi, thanks for joining us. Elizabeth Barrick: I love it. Thanks so much for letting us know Elizabeth Barrick: we love it. Elizabeth Barrick: Alright. Now I'm gonna do a zigzag guys. Elizabeth Barrick: So here in the middle, let me grab another tool. So you can just see what the different tools will give. Yeah. Elizabeth Barrick: And you'll see that it's basically it's pretty similar. I'm gonna use the end of a paint
brush now. Elizabeth Barrick: So I'm going to do a zigzag. Elizabeth Barrick: Can you hear that, Nicole? Elizabeth Barrick: Is it, picking up on the microphone. Nicole - Michaels: Unfortunately we cannot, but having carved a few potatoes in my time, it's got sort of a crunch to it. Elizabeth Barrick: Yes. Elizabeth Barrick: it's kinda like I'm carving a pumpkin over here. Nicole - Michaels: Yes, it's a lot like carving a punk, a pumpkin. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay, so this is not as sturdy as the
pencil. Elizabeth Barrick: So you will want to go in a couple more times Elizabeth Barrick: to create that sharper. Elizabeth Barrick: and I don't want that to be so dull. So I'm going to come in with the pencil. Elizabeth Barrick: And the reason it did that is just because it's a little more flimsy. Elizabeth Barrick: My stick here is a little more flimsy. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay, so we have a zigzag. Elizabeth Barrick: Want to do another curve. Elizabeth Barrick: and this up here I probably cu
rved a little too much. Elizabeth Barrick: didn't need to curve so much. Elizabeth Barrick: I'm gonna try to curve less on this one. Nicole - Michaels: Did you want to try. Elizabeth Barrick: Oops! Elizabeth Barrick: Go ahead, Nicole. Elizabeth Barrick: you cut out. Nicole - Michaels: Sorry about that. Did you want to try showing them with the needles. Elizabeth Barrick: So sure. Aye. Nicole - Michaels: Needles. Elizabeth Barrick: Yeah. Elizabeth Barrick: let's see what the needles look like. El
izabeth Barrick: and these are a little more flimsy, so they may give us. So what I think I'll do. Elizabeth Barrick: Oh, look at that, guys! It works really well Elizabeth Barrick: on the curve here. Elizabeth Barrick: Pretty good. Elizabeth Barrick: I forgot to tell you. I'm using a mat Elizabeth Barrick: also Elizabeth Barrick: the little craft, mat. I love those. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay, let me move this out of the way, so I don't get my pretty card all dirty. Elizabeth Barrick: Still want y
ou to see it. There. Elizabeth Barrick: Is that better? Okay. Elizabeth Barrick: So for this one. Elizabeth Barrick: I think what I want to do is make the little dots. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay? So you could use either side. Elizabeth Barrick: so just poke it in there, let me zoom in so you can see Elizabeth Barrick: you're just going to poke it in and twist, twist, twist. Elizabeth Barrick: poke. Elizabeth Barrick: You could twist it like this Elizabeth Barrick: to get a bigger circle Elizabeth B
arrick: if I just poke it. Elizabeth Barrick: I have a smaller circle. Elizabeth Barrick: But if I go around and around like this. Elizabeth Barrick: I'm creating a bigger kind of poconot. It's going to look like a poke it out when it's done Elizabeth Barrick: another one round and around. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay. Elizabeth Barrick: So I got 3. But guess what? Elizabeth Barrick: My potatoes talking to me literally. It has eyes and a nose in a mouth, doesn't it? Elizabeth Barrick: I don't want it
to look like it has eyes in a nose, in a mouth unless you want it to. So I'm gonna add another circle right here. Elizabeth Barrick: I don't want it to look like. I made a happy face Elizabeth Barrick: for my egg, but you can, if you went on yours Elizabeth Barrick: there, see how that kind of changed it. Elizabeth Barrick: Alright! Elizabeth Barrick: So that is what Elizabeth Barrick: the plastic needles look like Elizabeth Barrick: alright. Elizabeth Barrick: And what else should we do here?
Elizabeth Barrick: Should we do? Let's see what this big and the big end does Elizabeth Barrick: should make bigger. Elizabeth Barrick: Look at it. Oh, this one is like a breeze, cause it's actually carving it. As I turn it Elizabeth Barrick: cool. I like that. Nicole - Michaels: Elizabeth, we have another shout out. Elizabeth Barrick: Let's hear it. Nicole - Michaels: We have an Vita with Cousin Shiny from San Jose, California. Elizabeth Barrick: With her cousin Elizabeth Barrick: that that is
correct. Elizabeth Barrick: Yeah. So fun Elizabeth Barrick: also from California. Nicole - Michaels: Looks like it. Elizabeth Barrick: Oh, California is winning. Elizabeth Barrick: They're representing tonight's Elizabeth Barrick: good job, Kelly. Elizabeth Barrick: and how fun to be with. Your cousins! Elizabeth Barrick: Alright! So I am not crazy. This is what's fun about Elizabeth Barrick: a potato carving. You can make it. However you want. So I'm not crazy about this. I want it to look more
like jagged. Elizabeth Barrick: So let's see, what can I use? I have. Elizabeth Barrick: I actually have Elizabeth Barrick: a tool here. It's a little sharper. Elizabeth Barrick: I didn't get that, could you try again. Sorry he's talking to me. I don't know. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay. Elizabeth Barrick: see? Elizabeth Barrick: But oh, I forgot, I've got toothpicks so like me, I could use a toothpick, because that's probably something that you might have Elizabeth Barrick: at home. Elizabeth Barri
ck: So let me use this toothpick, and I'm going to just make it a little more of a zigzaggi line. Elizabeth Barrick: There now, it's starting to take shape a little better. Elizabeth Barrick: So if you don't like the way it's turning out, you can just always go back in Elizabeth Barrick: and change it. If you wanted to put hearts on it, you could put hearts. Elizabeth Barrick: If you just wanted stripes, you could put stripes. If you wanted to write your name. Elizabeth Barrick: You could carve
your name, but Elizabeth Barrick: your name has to be carved. Elizabeth Barrick: So are you a good Elizabeth Barrick: writer Elizabeth Barrick: backwards? Writer? Elizabeth Barrick: Okay, that's a little more zigzag now. Elizabeth Barrick: working it out. Nicole - Michaels: We have a shout out from Lucy Lou in Denver, Colorado. Elizabeth Barrick: Hey, Lucy Lou? Elizabeth Barrick: Alright! We've got Colorado on the map now. Elizabeth Barrick: Fine. Elizabeth Barrick: I love Denver so pretty. Eliz
abeth Barrick: I don't know how this is. Gonna show up on the stamp, guys. I don't know if it's gonna be as zigzaggy as I want it. Elizabeth Barrick: Try to make it come up. Elizabeth Barrick: and the thing is, if you want to see Elizabeth Barrick: how your stamp is looking. Elizabeth Barrick: just stamp it on a Elizabeth Barrick: another piece of paper Elizabeth Barrick: like one that you're not going to actually use Elizabeth Barrick: for Elizabeth Barrick: your design. So let me show you Eliz
abeth Barrick: cause I'm not. I'm having trust issues with my zigzag here. I don't know if it's how I really want it. Elizabeth Barrick: So let's see how we're doing here. So Elizabeth Barrick: I'm going to Elizabeth Barrick: open my pot. Elizabeth Barrick: I'm gonna take out my brush. Elizabeth Barrick: I'm just gonna put a little here. Well, that's a lot. That's way more than I need. But Elizabeth Barrick: I'm feeling a little generous today. Guys. Elizabeth Barrick: okay. Elizabeth Barrick: s
o let's see where we're at. Okay. Because I have a Elizabeth Barrick: I kinda wanna Elizabeth Barrick: well, I really wanna make another zigzag here, cause it's kind of blank space. But you know what would be cool guys is, if we put more paint here once we've stamped it. Elizabeth Barrick: I like that idea. I didn't do that the first round that would be cool. Elizabeth Barrick: You have more space than I did on my other ones. Elizabeth Barrick: because I chose a bigger potato. Elizabeth Barrick:
So Elizabeth Barrick: I'm just brushing Elizabeth Barrick: the very top. Elizabeth Barrick: It looks like I got a little in here, and I just want to make sure that I didn't get a clump of paint in there. Elizabeth Barrick: Oh, I sure did Elizabeth Barrick: that odd. Elizabeth Barrick: and make sure your surface is clear. Elizabeth Barrick: so that you don't get a clump of potato Elizabeth Barrick: on your actual Elizabeth Barrick: project. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay, let me show you something else
while I'm thinking about it. Elizabeth Barrick: Do you see how this is streaked right here? Because I just had a little potato little piece of potato that I just drug off if I don't cover that. Elizabeth Barrick: Then my stamp is going to be empty right there. So I want to make sure that that's covered. Elizabeth Barrick: and Elizabeth Barrick: make sure that you're you don't have to, but if you are maybe older. Elizabeth Barrick: and you like the look of your paint, make sure Elizabeth Barrick
: I shouldn't say that you like the look of your paint. Of course you like the look of your paint. I just meant the paint brushes, the way that the bristles are going. Elizabeth Barrick: Just kind of keep that in mind and paint in one direction. Elizabeth Barrick: So it's not going Elizabeth Barrick: opposite directions unless you're going for that look. And then, by all means, okay. Elizabeth Barrick: you ready to check it out. Guys. Elizabeth Barrick: here's my paper, my fresh paper Elizabeth
Barrick: piece of potato on it. Elizabeth Barrick: I have a smaller space to work with under my camera here. Elizabeth Barrick: I didn't remember all this little mashed potatoes everywhere. Okay, here we go. Let's see what it looks like. Elizabeth Barrick: Let's go and move this over here right Elizabeth Barrick: here. Elizabeth Barrick: and then I'm pushing. Elizabeth Barrick: and it's important that you, when you cut your potato, you're going straight across and not kind of like making indenta
tions with your knife. Elizabeth Barrick: because then it may not show up like you want. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay, now, I'm going to gently lift up the potato, trying not to touch the paper around it. Elizabeth Barrick: because if I touch the paper on it, look at my fingers. Elizabeth Barrick: I might get prints on my paper. So I just have to be super careful about that. Elizabeth Barrick: Now, the other thing I wanna mention Elizabeth Barrick: when I was putting the paint on here, if you notice,
I just put a nice little layer of paint. Elizabeth Barrick: not a heavy layer, because if I'm putting a heavy layer, especially my little friends, once they push their potatoes gonna go sliding. So you don't wanna put so much paint that your potato slides around Elizabeth Barrick: right here we go. Let's check it out. Elizabeth Barrick: There it is. Elizabeth Barrick: It's the jelly bean. It looks like a jelly bean, doesn't it? Elizabeth Barrick: But look, I noticed that I didn't push enough on
the outsides. Elizabeth Barrick: and you can see Elizabeth Barrick: you can see right there. Elizabeth Barrick: So let me show you again. Elizabeth Barrick: Let me add a little paint. Elizabeth Barrick: and then Elizabeth Barrick: let's stick it down. Elizabeth Barrick: And now this time I'm gonna push on the ends oops. I wiggled it just a little bit. Elizabeth Barrick: So it's good to just kind of practice here for a minute. Elizabeth Barrick: See? Elizabeth Barrick: Now, once you place it dow
n, it's going to be hard to line it back up. Elizabeth Barrick: So have your adult help you. I'm gonna push on the ends here. So you really gotta make sure that you have paint everywhere, and you're pushing everywhere. But then, again, this is a potato, guys. Elizabeth Barrick: It's not going to be a perfect stamp. Elizabeth Barrick: There we go Elizabeth Barrick: alright. So it's gonna look different every time. Remember, I have this space here. Elizabeth Barrick: So I'm going to be coloring th
at Elizabeth Barrick: alright. Do you get the idea? Elizabeth Barrick: Alright. So let's go ahead. So this one's I'm going to call this one good. Elizabeth Barrick: and let's try another one. Elizabeth Barrick: Let's do. Let's do the chick. Elizabeth Barrick: You want to do the check. Elizabeth Barrick: I'll show you how I made that one. Elizabeth Barrick: So I'm going to grab a little teeny, Tiny. Elizabeth Barrick: There's the little teeny, tiny one for the chick. Elizabeth Barrick: and I'm go
ing to just put 2 eyes. So I'm going to use the end of my skewer here. Elizabeth Barrick: So this is my bamboo skewer. I'm putting it in. Elizabeth Barrick: Turning Elizabeth Barrick: over here. Elizabeth Barrick: Turn. Elizabeth Barrick: We should do this at Halloween, Nicole. We'd make little ghosts. Nicole - Michaels: I was just thinking the same thing. Elizabeth Barrick: They're so cute. Okay, so let's make the beak. You ready. All I did for the beak was just make a triangle. Elizabeth Barri
ck: Me just kind of Elizabeth Barrick: pop that little piece out Elizabeth Barrick: so cute. I love him. Elizabeth Barrick: Look at how cute Elizabeth Barrick: I love it. Elizabeth Barrick: little peep! Elizabeth Barrick: Alright! Wasn't that one easy? Elizabeth Barrick: So the smaller the potato you use, of course, the easier and the less Elizabeth Barrick: the less prints you need to make. Elizabeth Barrick: So you can see the difference between these 2 potatoes. Look at this. Elizabeth Barric
k: See the difference. Elizabeth Barrick: This one's quite large. Elizabeth Barrick: See that I really made a giant one Elizabeth Barrick: for the sake of TV. Elizabeth Barrick: Cutie. All right, let's see what this one looks like. Elizabeth Barrick: shall we? Elizabeth Barrick: So let's get yellow. Elizabeth Barrick: How about metallic? Elizabeth Barrick: Let's go for this. If this isn't a chick yellow, I don't know what is. I'm grabbing this one. Nicole - Michaels: I think that is the perfect
shade of yellow, and we have another shout out, we have Johanna from California, and she is loving this craft. Elizabeth Barrick: Hey, Johanna, hey! We've got 3 from California. Elizabeth Barrick: 3 people, and I'm glad you like this craft. Elizabeth Barrick: I have never really done a potato. Maybe once in like Elizabeth Barrick: the after school program when I was a little kid. I don't know Elizabeth Barrick: but I'm loving it, too. Elizabeth Barrick: because you really could do anything, coul
dn't you? Elizabeth Barrick: Alright, I'm gonna grab my palette again. So I just wanna remind you Elizabeth Barrick: to take out a little bit of paint and stick it on your palette instead of grabbing paint, and then painting your potato because you don't want this to get moldy right Elizabeth Barrick: because you have the potato stuff in there now, and you don't want you want to protect your Elizabeth Barrick: equipment. Elizabeth Barrick: So that's why I'm putting it in here. I'm getting enough
that I don't have to go back in Elizabeth Barrick: unless I wash my Elizabeth Barrick: brush. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay, look, I love these little. Elizabeth Barrick: set it down, and the brush doesn't Elizabeth Barrick: see you set it down, and the brush doesn't get the paint on the table. Elizabeth Barrick: Alright!

The 2 rounded Elizabeth Barrick: the 2 rounded lines, whoops. Let me get back in the frame here. Elizabeth Barrick: So 2 rounded lines. Elizabeth Barrick: and then if you just kind of do it light first, and then go back and Elizabeth Barrick: push a little harder. Elizabeth Barrick: It's easier to carve that way. Elizabeth Barrick: So there's the
2 lines. Elizabeth Barrick: Mike. Elizabeth Barrick: wipe it off. Elizabeth Barrick: I'm gonna pull up a little bit just because my camera's a little close to my Elizabeth Barrick: hands. Elizabeth Barrick: There we go. Okay, so I've got my oops. He's Elizabeth Barrick: and then I'm going to come down here Elizabeth Barrick: and I'm going to do another set of double lines. Elizabeth Barrick: Light at first. Elizabeth Barrick: Isn't it funny? All these tools? And I go back to the pencil Elizabet
h Barrick: light at first, and then you can go a little deeper. Elizabeth Barrick: Now, truly, if you are an artist. Elizabeth Barrick: you really could do some really cool carvings Elizabeth Barrick: on this. Elizabeth Barrick: Alright, let's Elizabeth Barrick: why it's this. Elizabeth Barrick: There we go. Elizabeth Barrick: Now I'm going to do my dots. Elizabeth Barrick: and for my dots I love using Elizabeth Barrick: the end of a bamboo skuer. Elizabeth Barrick: You move this out of the way,
so don't get my sleeve in the wet paint. Elizabeth Barrick: and then here. Elizabeth Barrick: So I'm kind of making it curve Elizabeth Barrick: also. Elizabeth Barrick: and one more on the bottom. Nicole - Michaels: So, Elizabeth, we can hear you puncturing holes in the potato, and it's a pretty funny little pop sound. Nicole - Michaels: Also we have another friend Nicole - Michaels: joining us from California. Who's named Laura? Elizabeth Barrick: Hey, Laura? Elizabeth Barrick: Wow! I don't kn
ow that we've had this many Elizabeth Barrick: Californians. I love it. Elizabeth Barrick: I mean, I think I know we've had 4. But what I mean is this Elizabeth Barrick: percentage of Californians joining us? Elizabeth Barrick: I love it. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay, guys, isn't that a cutie? Elizabeth Barrick: Okay? One more time I'm gonna come over here and make sure I've got my. Elizabeth Barrick: so let us know if, have you guys already had your spring break? Elizabeth Barrick: You already had s

Look at that one Elizabeth Barrick: like a cutie pie. Elizabeth Barrick: Alright! So now for this one. We're gonna do multicolored. Elizabeth Barrick: So I'm going to show you how I got this multicolor look. Elizabeth Barrick: So let's Elizabeth Barrick: add another metallicy. Elizabeth Barrick: Let's go with th
e peek, because I love the way so they it kind of looks tie-dye, doesn't it? Elizabeth Barrick: So let me grab this ink Elizabeth Barrick: and Elizabeth Barrick: let's see, what do you guys think what which other colors should I use? Elizabeth Barrick: Grab another brush? Elizabeth Barrick: That's a pretty pink. Elizabeth Barrick: And that pretty Elizabeth Barrick: okay. Elizabeth Barrick: love that Elizabeth Barrick: all about Elizabeth Barrick: we don't really have. Well, we've got this blue.
Oh, we don't have a purple. Elizabeth Barrick: Let's do the purple guys. Elizabeth Barrick: and then I will use. Elizabeth Barrick: Hmm! This is the only purple I have for the flat color, and it's a little darker than I want to use Elizabeth Barrick: 4 Elizabeth Barrick: Easter. So I'm going to go metallic again. Now. Of course, you know I can make it lighter by adding white. Elizabeth Barrick: but I'm not going to do that that this time around when I've got this beautiful lavender right here to
use. Elizabeth Barrick: Gonna grab the lavender Elizabeth Barrick: and on the side of paint brushes, guys? Oh, no, I forgot to wash this paint brush. Elizabeth Barrick: Let's use this one. Nicole - Michaels: So Elizabeth, Eliza and Juline have chimed in to say that they are currently on Spring break. Elizabeth Barrick: Well, I'm glad you are joining us. Elizabeth Barrick: So fun! Our spring break starts. Elizabeth Barrick: Freddie. Elizabeth Barrick: We cannot wait. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay, her
e we go. Elizabeth Barrick: I'm going to show you how to get this kind of look here, so you could do a couple different things. You could just kind of Elizabeth Barrick: dab Elizabeth Barrick: some over here. Let's put a little purple Elizabeth Barrick: right here. Elizabeth Barrick: I'm going to grab my pink Elizabeth Barrick: some right here. Elizabeth Barrick: Do you kind of see what I'm where I'm going with this guys? Elizabeth Barrick: Me grab my yellow Elizabeth Barrick: here. Nicole - Mic
haels: You're a little bit off the screen. Just a heads up. There we go. Elizabeth Barrick: Can you see? Now? There we go. Thank you. Nicole - Michaels: Much better. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay, good. And then Elizabeth Barrick: let's put a blue here. Elizabeth Barrick: You see what I'm doing. Elizabeth Barrick: So I'm kind of making my own little tie-dye right here. Elizabeth Barrick: I'm gonna add just a little bit more of everything. Elizabeth Barrick: and Elizabeth Barrick: let's add a little mo
re pink here. Elizabeth Barrick: I love all these colors together. Elizabeth Barrick: and let's grab a little more lavender. Elizabeth Barrick: What else did I need? I think I have plenty of yellow. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay? So before I put my potato start dipping my potato in this in the paint. Elizabeth Barrick: I'm going to just dap it off. Elizabeth Barrick: dab it off on a paper towel here, make sure I have a nice dry surface. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay, let's move these guys over. Elizabeth Ba
rrick: I'm gonna put my potato right on that paint. Elizabeth Barrick: We'll lift it up. Elizabeth Barrick: So you see, you've got that. Elizabeth Barrick: And then what you could do if you wanted to. You could either Elizabeth Barrick: kind of move this around Elizabeth Barrick: or actually what I did when I was doing this, I kind of just slid it around a little bit Elizabeth Barrick: on the palette here. Now Elizabeth Barrick: you want to be careful not to move it so much. Elizabeth Barrick: b
ecause what you'll do is all those colors are going to get mixed up, and you you'll get a brown. So it's okay to move it around a little. But you don't want to move it around too much. Elizabeth Barrick: Alright. So let's see what we've got. Elizabeth Barrick: It's like a surprise. Guys Elizabeth Barrick: see what we're going to get Elizabeth Barrick: set up. Elizabeth Barrick: Isn't that pretty. Elizabeth Barrick: I love that one. Elizabeth Barrick: so let's do it again. Elizabeth Barrick: So d
ip it right in. Elizabeth Barrick: Try not to slide it around too much. Elizabeth Barrick: Now I'm going to go. So Elizabeth Barrick: to the next row. Elizabeth Barrick: Well, this was my practice round, remember, and now I'm pretending like it's the whole card I got carried away, guys, I'll get the real one Elizabeth Barrick: ready. Okay, so that's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna get the real card. Now. Elizabeth Barrick: love these colors. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay, so let me add a little more. So
I'm gonna go get some purple here. Elizabeth Barrick: gonna grab some pink. Elizabeth Barrick: and then I'll and then I'll be able to mix that, too. I just didn't set it right on there because I didn't want too much of that paint everywhere. Elizabeth Barrick: But I think we're we're gonna be okay. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay. Elizabeth Barrick: So now I'll set it on there, move it around a little. Elizabeth Barrick: Just didn't want a big glob. Elizabeth Barrick: Alright. Elizabeth Barrick: Let me
start. Okay, we'll go one Elizabeth Barrick: stone. Elizabeth Barrick: and you might be able to get to. Let's see if I get 2. I can't remember I did this class, but oh, dropped it. Elizabeth Barrick: Here we go. Elizabeth Barrick: Did this class about 7 weeks ago, and I can't remember Elizabeth Barrick: how many I was able to get before having to restamp. Elizabeth Barrick: look at that! But look, I can look at this potato, and I can see it's pretty dry now. So I'm gonna go ahead and dip it in a
gain. Elizabeth Barrick: It's like unicorn Easter egg or something. Elizabeth Barrick: Oh, that's a little off. It's okay. Elizabeth Barrick: Let me move up so you can see me move this stuff out of the way. Elizabeth Barrick: I almost Elizabeth Barrick: took this class. I almost taught this class down in my kitchen, because I knew I would have more space I kind of probably should have. Elizabeth Barrick: There's one more, isn't it pretty? Elizabeth Barrick: I'm going to pull up Elizabeth Barrick
: and Elizabeth Barrick: dip it again. Elizabeth Barrick: So if you wanted to, you could do a whole Elizabeth Barrick: the whole paper this way. Elizabeth Barrick: or you could change it up like I did. Elizabeth Barrick: So I did that. Elizabeth Barrick: So now I'm going to do Elizabeth Barrick: baby chick Elizabeth Barrick: sove. Elizabeth Barrick: Let me grab my paint. Elizabeth Barrick: eat baby chick. Elizabeth Barrick: This is turning out to be messier than I remember. Elizabeth Barrick: Bu
t really there's no way to paint all the way on the edge there without getting your Elizabeth Barrick: hands painted. Elizabeth Barrick: hey? Elizabeth Barrick: So now I'm gonna start over here. Elizabeth Barrick: drop it. Elizabeth Barrick: pressed Elizabeth Barrick: it up. Elizabeth Barrick: drop it. Elizabeth Barrick: pick it up! Elizabeth Barrick: Time for re. Elizabeth Barrick: hey? Make! I should really start down here, so I don't get the eyeballs covered so much. Nicole - Michaels: Hey, E
lizabeth, we have another shout out, and a question so Lily, from Virginia has asked, what colors did you use to make the tie egg. Elizabeth Barrick: Good question. Yeah, let me drop this guy and I'll pull those out so you can see him. Elizabeth Barrick: So Elizabeth Barrick: I'll tell you. While I'm doing this. The colors that I use are the pink. Elizabeth Barrick: the it was the metallic hot pink. And I'm gonna I'll show you the box 1 s. Elizabeth Barrick: and then I use the yellow. I would sa
y it's like a canary, yellow Elizabeth Barrick: or golden. Elizabeth Barrick: And then I used the metallic purple or lavender. Elizabeth Barrick: and then I use the regular. I would call it Elizabeth Barrick: Robin's egg blue. Elizabeth Barrick: So I'm going to show you. Let me wipe off my hands a little bit. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay? So I got these Elizabeth Barrick: cease Elizabeth Barrick: from Elizabeth Barrick: the creatology metallic paint box. Elizabeth Barrick: So that's what these came o
ut of. Elizabeth Barrick: And I had Elizabeth Barrick: that metallic lavender. Does it actually have a yeah, it's called lavender. Elizabeth Barrick: and this one is called magenta. Elizabeth Barrick: and the yellow Elizabeth Barrick: is just called yellow. Elizabeth Barrick: So these are all the metallic colors. Elizabeth Barrick: And then Elizabeth Barrick: from this Elizabeth Barrick: creatology acrylic paint box. So this one came out of this box. Elizabeth Barrick: There's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
So there's 18 here. Elizabeth Barrick: And this color. Let's see, there's names on these. There might not be names on these. No names. But this was Nope. It wasn't this blue, it was this one. Elizabeth Barrick: It's like a C phone. Elizabeth Barrick: not quite sea foam and not quite Robin's robin egg. Elizabeth Barrick: That's what I used. Good question Elizabeth Barrick: turned out cool. Right? Elizabeth Barrick: Okay. Elizabeth Barrick: what should we do next? Should we do big Daddy Potato, or
should we stay with the same colors? Elizabeth Barrick: I'm thinking we should stay with the same colors. I think I want to do another Elizabeth Barrick: tie-dye egg Elizabeth Barrick: chick, tidey egg. Elizabeth Barrick: So I'm gonna grab all my pens, all of my paint brushes again. Elizabeth Barrick: and I'm going to paint those on. So Elizabeth Barrick: here we go. Elizabeth Barrick: So remember, I just have to replenish. So I'm taking these over here Elizabeth Barrick: and let's do some of t
he hot pink. Elizabeth Barrick: and we've got our yellow. Elizabeth Barrick: hey? Elizabeth Barrick: And our purple. Elizabeth Barrick: Oh, I did purple! What else? Oh, the blue. Elizabeth Barrick: the bluish green! Elizabeth Barrick: So you saw when it was thicker like this, when I had a lot more paint. Elizabeth Barrick: You saw that I just kind of brushed it on. But should we see what happens when I just dip it in? Elizabeth Barrick: Try it? I like experimenting. Oh. Elizabeth Barrick: okay.
So what happens is now remember how I said, I've got a lot of paint there. If I were just to stick this on, it would slide around. So I'm gonna kind of dab it off a little over here. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay? Elizabeth Barrick: And before I go Elizabeth Barrick: see right here, this needs a little more paint. Elizabeth Barrick: and up here it needs a little more paint. So I'm just gonna cheat a little. Elizabeth Barrick: And Elizabeth Barrick: here. Elizabeth Barrick: there we go Elizabeth Barric
k: right. Elizabeth Barrick: So we're going to do another row. Elizabeth Barrick: one. Elizabeth Barrick: look! Our pink's in the middle this time. Elizabeth Barrick: 2, and I'm not gonna go for 3, because if I go for 3 Elizabeth Barrick: it's going to be Elizabeth Barrick: a little bare. Elizabeth Barrick: How's that? Look? Alright? Elizabeth Barrick: I think that's okay. But Elizabeth Barrick: just put a little purple right here. Elizabeth Barrick: There we go. Elizabeth Barrick: Just kind of
give it a little check each time before Elizabeth Barrick: stamping. Elizabeth Barrick: Turn your potato around, check it out, look at your Elizabeth Barrick: look at the paint on the potato, and make sure you have everything covered for the most part. Elizabeth Barrick: There we go. Elizabeth Barrick: Pretty right. All right. Let's do, Chick. Elizabeth Barrick: So I'm gonna use Elizabeth Barrick: this one's just painting it yellow. Elizabeth Barrick: This one's easy, peasy. Elizabeth Barrick: J
ust skip that Elizabeth Barrick: if it, if the paint collects in the mouth there. Elizabeth Barrick: and it's not going to show up as much as you might want it to. Elizabeth Barrick: So Elizabeth Barrick: me see if I can grab it Elizabeth Barrick: toothpick. Elizabeth Barrick: Kind of get some of that cleared out. So it's the beak shows up a little better. Elizabeth Barrick: Oh, wow! Look at all that that came out of that eye Elizabeth Barrick: alright. Elizabeth Barrick: So pretty much. You can
get 2 Elizabeth Barrick: unless you're going for an ombre effect. Elizabeth Barrick: See that one almost didn't show up? Very well. Elizabeth Barrick: okay. More yellow. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay. Elizabeth Barrick: 3 Elizabeth Barrick: and Elizabeth Barrick: 4. Elizabeth Barrick: You can see the metallic key showing up on the screen. Elizabeth Barrick: See that chick Elizabeth Barrick: cute? It's like the golden. It's the golden egg. Elizabeth Barrick: Alright. So last row of metallic. Elizabeth
Barrick: I'm gonna plop it in. Elizabeth Barrick: pop it in here. Elizabeth Barrick: And Elizabeth Barrick: what? Elizabeth Barrick: That one's my favorite one yet. Elizabeth Barrick: 1, 2 more. Elizabeth Barrick: I'm getting dangerous because I haven't been checking the potato. Elizabeth Barrick: Oh, beautiful! Elizabeth Barrick: And the last one. Elizabeth Barrick: Here we go. Elizabeth Barrick: Look at that. Elizabeth Barrick: Are we doing our time? Oh, my goodness, okay, I've just time flie
s all the time. Elizabeth Barrick: All right, let's do our little chick feet. Elizabeth Barrick: Let me find my here. It is Elizabeth Barrick: alright. So all you have to do for the chick foot. Now. Elizabeth Barrick: if I were you, I would wait until it dry. Elizabeth Barrick: But Elizabeth Barrick: I want to show you, for the sake of you know, being able to see the finished product. Elizabeth Barrick: So all you do is, draw 2 lines, 1, 2, Elizabeth Barrick: and then an upside down. V, Elizabet
h Barrick: so 2 lines. Elizabeth Barrick: let's say on B, Elizabeth Barrick: I'm just being careful not to touch Elizabeth Barrick: the one below it, because it's wet. Nicole - Michaels: Elizabeth, we have a an an interesting shout out eliza! And Jolene made some tulips with the potatoes. Elizabeth Barrick: I love Elizabeth Barrick: good idea. Elizabeth Barrick: so creative. Elizabeth Barrick: So then, did you, oops? I forgot to make it so like. Elizabeth Barrick: So then did you carve the top.
Elizabeth Barrick: Did you carve the top out then. Elizabeth Barrick: like Bernie, or Elizabeth Barrick: and cut it out Elizabeth Barrick: like with the knights? Elizabeth Barrick: That's what I'm picturing. Elizabeth Barrick: Please do tell. Do tell. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay, so let me show you you could either leave it like this. You could frame it. That would be cool, for around Easter you could make little place settings. I always try to make a fancy table at Easter. You can make place settin
gs. Elizabeth Barrick: but what you could also do Elizabeth Barrick: is you could fold it. So let's fold it. Let me erase this. Elizabeth Barrick: I was showing you the Elizabeth Barrick: the U. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay, so you could fold it this way. Elizabeth Barrick: And then on the inside. Elizabeth Barrick: you could write Happy Easter. Elizabeth Barrick: So if you Elizabeth Barrick: use print, or you could use a marker, you could do crayon Elizabeth Barrick: if you're a person that likes to
do Elizabeth Barrick: Oh, goodness! Hand lettering you could do hand lettering. I'm a person that likes hand lettering Elizabeth Barrick: so you could do happy. Elizabeth Barrick: except I just can't talk when I do hand lighting. Elizabeth Barrick: and then on the down strokes is you just make them a little thicker. So what you would do is come on over one Elizabeth Barrick: and just make it a little thicker. So Elizabeth Barrick: anytime you came down with your PIN, Elizabeth Barrick: you're j
ust making that a little thicker. Elizabeth Barrick: and then try not to close the circle. That's always kind of tricky. Elizabeth Barrick: This isn't a hand lettering class, so I can't get too much into detail. Elizabeth Barrick: But if you're like me, I like watching people draw. Elizabeth Barrick: Oh, no, I left Elizabeth Barrick: happy, and then you could just write out Easter, or you could hand letter that as well. Oopsies. Elizabeth Barrick: Maybe I'll just fix that like that Elizabeth Bar
rick: so you could just say Easter like this. Elizabeth Barrick: And then you could just write love. And then your name. Elizabeth Barrick: hey? Elizabeth Barrick: So that's just a fun little way to present Elizabeth Barrick: your card. Oh, I use permanent marker, so don't use permanent marker. Use Elizabeth Barrick: crayola Marker or the creatology markers. Those won't bleed through. I didn't think that one through, you guys. But allow me to make the mistake for you. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay. El
izabeth Barrick: it is just about the end of class. What do we have coming up next. I didn't even pull that up, but it is on the app. Elizabeth Barrick: I cannot remember. Elizabeth Barrick: but I do have a class not next week, but the following week Elizabeth Barrick: I think we're getting into our summer stuff, guys. Elizabeth Barrick: It could be. Oh, it's the pop-up card, I believe. Let me grab my pop-up card so you can see Elizabeth Barrick: quickly. Let me just put these in the water so th
ey don't dry up on me. Elizabeth Barrick: I'll put this here. Remember. Elizabeth Barrick: to tag us if you would. We would love to see your finish project. Elizabeth Barrick: and that is right. There, let me grab the next Elizabeth Barrick: little activities we have going. Elizabeth Barrick: These are the next 2, I believe. So we have a pop-up card. Elizabeth Barrick: So this is, gonna be fun like in April. Showers. Bring bring May flowers pop up card. Elizabeth Barrick: We have a little summer
scene. This is all with air, dry clay. So this one's kind of fun. Elizabeth Barrick: And Elizabeth Barrick: oh, we have. We have 4 guys. Elizabeth Barrick: So this is a big thing right now. Elizabeth Barrick: I guess in Texas are these like shoe charms Elizabeth Barrick: and other places? If you pinterest these Elizabeth Barrick: people are putting these on their shoes on their 10 shoes like on the back of the shoe. Elizabeth Barrick: Isn't that fun? Elizabeth Barrick: So that's coming up? Eliz
abeth Barrick: And then I've got all these fun little like Elizabeth Barrick: creatures. Elizabeth Barrick: I have a squid octopus. Elizabeth Barrick: a little crab. He just lost his little leg, so I'll have to bring him back out. He'll need a little repair, but a fun, little crab. Elizabeth Barrick: So that's coming up, too. So I have 3 more classes on the books. Elizabeth Barrick: 3, 4. That was 4, right? 1, 2, 3, 4, yeah. 4 classes on the books. So make sure to. Oh, thank you, Nicole. She jus
t linked the pop up card class so you could sign up for that? Elizabeth Barrick: I'm gonna flip Elizabeth Barrick: the my camera around here. Elizabeth Barrick: We close this thing over. Elizabeth Barrick: Okay, let's split. Elizabeth Barrick: Do we have any other questions before we go. Nicole - Michaels: So we do have a shout out Nicole - Michaels: from Vera, who said, I'm from Illinois, and I just made a bunny out of the potatoes. That'd be interesting to see. Elizabeth Barrick: You, Vera. Th
at is such a good idea. I love that. Elizabeth Barrick: Oh, my goodness! So are you guys. I just wonder are you carving them out, please tag us so we can see. I want to see the the bunny. I want to see the tulip. Elizabeth Barrick: I wanna see what your card. Did you end up making chicks? Elizabeth Barrick: Did you end up making tie-dye eggs? Really, the sky's the limit. You can do anything on these, you guys. So I would love to see it. Elizabeth Barrick: Thank you so so much for joining me. I h
ave the best time. I hope you did, too. Now I gotta go wash my hands clean up this mess, so I will see you not next week. Elizabeth Barrick: but the following week for our next class. So alright, I'll see you guys later.
