Painting Something for YOU! (Happy TWO Years!!)
Added 2025-01-31 21:13:37 +0000 UTC
Holy cOWWW, y'all. TWO YEARS of this Patreon! That's so wild!
I wanted to do something to say "thank you", especially for those who have been here since the beginning. It means the actual world to me to have you all here supporting and hanging out :)
SO, I decided to paint Frodo as a handsome little jester, and I hope you like! Feel free to download the file and do whatever you please with it.
Thank you all so much, I LOVE YA.

(Again though, probably hold off until I can get y'all a discount code!)
Hey love, when you do update or add to the merch shop, I would love love love plus size shirts so I can rock one <3

Wow, I’m catching up with your patreon videos today and I can’t believe it’s been 2 years! I’ve been honoured to be a part of this community for all that time, even though I’m usually a silent lurker. Thank you Rachel and everyone for being so awesome

I know I'm super late to response, but for a show (if your even still looking or interested). I've been loving elementary. It's a, I guess more modern'esk take on Sherlock Holmes. It's got johnny lee miller and Lucy liu. It's 7 seasons long and got about 24 eps per season.

Also super excited to see your merch I can't wait to get the floor troll I've been wanting that shirt for a while. Also that other shirt you wore where it says "isn't that just the way" I would love to have a shirt.

Happy 2 years!! And thank you the print. My husband and I recently did our whole living room in a medieval style so I'm really excited to put him up in there. 💗 Sind note you should try playing dragon age Inquisition. I think you would love it and you would make some bomb outfits or crafts out of it.

I am very seriously considering going to the Nashville con! I have a two year old, so a lot depends on how the stars align where she's concerned. It's a couple of hours away, so that nap really has to be timed perfectly. I hope I make it and can say hello!

No, I refuse to let you make me give you less money 😛. Happy 2nd Patreonversary! Here’s to many more.
Been extra busy lately as I get ready to launch a new ttrpg channel that features marginalized folks over the age of 40. It’s been two years in the making, excited to launch our first streamed game next month.

My partner highly suggests Northern Exposure. It’s one of their favourite shows. I watched it for the first time years ago and really enjoyed it. Has 6 seasons. My partner also says buying the Uk blu-ray is highly worth it if you can’t find it on streaming in America. It’ll be right up your street my partner thinks. Both enjoy watching your videos.

2 years? 2 YEARS!? It seems so not long ago that I eagerly waited for the day you started Patreon so I could join right from the very start. I am Canadian and with all the nonsense going on between the US & Canada I find myself taking a stand and cutting back on ALL things US. I hope you understand why, for now, I am going to be canceling my Patreonage.❤️

Truly the best decision I've ever made was signing up for patreon when you first announced it. I can't believe it's already been two years!
Watching you is such a joy! I just finished sewing my own *cute little guy* (a linen bat for a friend's bday) and I have you to thank for inspiring me to buy a second-hand sewing machine a few years ago to learn on.
Can't wait to frame Jester Frodo and put him in my craft space. Thank you, Rachel!

I went to substack partially to watch "Under the Desk" news. I found her on IG - she got big on TIKTOK, but had to diversify a bit due to it almost being banned in USA....

Thank you so much Rachel for being the awesome person that you are :) And thank you for giving my hubby and I something awesome to celebrate in February. Feb has become a hard month for us as there have been a lot of deaths in the family (on both sides) over the years that have all happened in or close to Feb, as well as some other not-good-life-changing-stuff so Feb for us just kinda sucks. But now we have something totally awesome to celebrate and that is that you have been our happy place for I don't know how long and that you have been on Patreon for 2 whole years!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!! GOOOOOO RACHEL!!!!!!!!! We fervently look forward to your videos and are truly amazed at your talent. It is so much fun to watch how your brain works and to see where your heart takes you in all the creative things that you do :) We love you Rachel :) HIGH FIVE!!!!!!

I love this! I've been here almost the full two years. Followed on YouTube since before you redecorated your living room at the old house! I'm not a con-goer, but maybe someday I'll get a chance to meet you in person. I've been in the SCA (same organization Morgan is in) for 36 years; maybe you'll come to some event near me. Who knows? Thanks for the painting! ♥️

I'm hoping to go to ECCC in March, but I am having trouble with finding a cosplay!! I was initially planning on going as my BG3 Tav since some of the actors are going to be there, but with work and school, i just don't have the time. So now me and my friend are brainstorming a duo costume (we also considered dipper and mabel as that was our first ever cosplay together back in high school).
It's always a joy to see your videos and little fool frodo is adorable!! It's an honor to be a part of your fellowship. Keep being awesome!

I think Rachel would love Life is Strange (if she hasn't already played it).
The talk about Seasons and the whole Polaroid pictures thing reminded me of Life is Strange.

How has it been two years already?? Patron dollars well spent, and I'd spend them every time. You've given me so much joy over the last ...8? years?? and you've made me feel so *seen*, I'm so glad there's a way we can give back. My partner is a voice actor guesting at Katsucon, so I'd really love the chance to say hello! It's a beautiful convention space and the vibes are ✨immaculate✨, I hope you have a really great time!

Hi Rachel,
Honestly your videos have been on repeat during this chaotic time. So thank you for being a whimsical balm. I honestly have you on to decompress mentally.
I know you will be collaborating more with Son de Flor in the future potentially. I was wondering if you can maybe lead awareness on this? About the Trade and National Security Actions and Low Value Shipments changes being proposed by CBP? They would tighten the de minimis exemption by excluding certain low value imports. So now if your order is under 800, you wouldn't have to pay additional custom duties. If this happens, that would change significantly. It isn't in effect yet, comments are allowed for people to speak up.
I don't have a reach like you do. But i am sure US consumers will be feeling the hit, more so with Son de Flor being pricey for some. This would increase even more. This would affect family/friends over seas, they would set a cap at 100 dollars per gifts.
This would obviously affect all international cottagecore brands and small businesses, like revintaria, LWA and emmy design, and us, the consumer, and even influencers.
I know in the grand scheme of things , this is a drop in the bucket considering current events. But at least we can try with one thing.
Deadline for public comments is March 24.

Happy two years! One of my fave things you did was when we got to edit the Valentines image, lmao. So happy you're still going strong!!
I'm Canadian but I was going to go to the Golden Era Gala (I think that's what it was called) and was so sad it was cancelled because I haven't been able to get to a Con! A lot of them are quite far from me, but one day I hope to get to the Boston con! Tbh the only creator I'd be specifically there to meet would be Rachel, but it would be so fun to find all the other creators too.

happy two yearsss 💕🥰 I wish I could come see you in cons (I fear school and life get in the way 😔) but either way, hope the cons go amazinggg. Personally I've just been doing what I usually do, which is to start a new painting and then quickly abandon it because motivation is a myth to me 💀

2025-02-02 13:13:51 +0000 UTC
A recycled blend is actually more eco-friendly and sustainable than 100% new organic cotton. It takes a huge amount of water to grow and process cotton, and using fabrics that already exist cuts down on a huge amount of resources. True, polyester isn't a great fabric to wear, it doesn't last well and contains plastics, but I would still vouch for reusing over consuming more limited resources. It depends on your own beliefs/priorities though 🤷🏻

Just a note/query/suggestion on guest booths at comic con; could you bring some of your props and/or costumes with you to display? I know I'd personally love to see some of your work in person, and for people who don't know you it might be a good draw to your booth! I know that's then a bigger display, with mannequins or what-not, but you have made so many cool things that it would be a good opportunity to show them off! 🤷🏻 either way hope it goes well!

Haha! Twin Peaks is my favorite show. I love film noire, weird characters, jazz.... it just has all the things. I want to feel like I'm in a dream goddammit! I'm glad you're checking it out. I always tell people it's a mood that isn't for everybody but stick with it! Season 2 is.... not great but I think it pays off. Love Fire Walk With Me so much. I'm about to watch season 3 for the first time... I cried so much when I heard he died...

Thanks for two years!! It’s been so fun!
I’ve been increasingly discouraged by the negativity and fear-mongering online lately. I get that people aren’t happy with stuff right now but the way they’re responding to it is largely just making things worse (hatefulness, extreme polarity, othering, intolerance, pessimism, melodrama, etc.). I really can’t spend much time on social media right now without it bringing me down as a result.
Always enjoy your bright corner of the internet though!
I’m working on a Snow Queen cosplay for C2E2 based off the 2002 TV Miniseries by Hallmark. It’s largely faithful to the original Hans Christian Anderson short story. It was a childhood favorite, used to check it out from the library on VHS like every other month. This is a bucket list cosplay for me I’m very excited to finally be working on!

Hey😊I've been here for 2 years and I daresay, it's my best investment yet😁 I just love the cozy vibe (the makes are great, don't get me wrong!) but sometimes all you need is watch someone clean. It really is a relaxing corner in a world that's seemingly getting more and more unhinged.

Hi! Been here for 2 years and YouTube for 5 years!!! Time has certainly flown past!
I've got to say though, you have been such a massive inspiration for me. Honestly, I wouldn't have ever of gained the confidence to make my own cosplay props and clothes without your videos 🤗 even your confidence with being you has made me feel so much more relaxed and happy to be my floor troll self
Thank you so much for being yourself and creating amazing things! 🙏

Happy two years!! I'm totally gonna put Frodo in a frame! I had a fall in a very wet shower room a week ago, and I'm in recovery. Thankfully no broken bones! But you always cheer me, Rachel! You are a breath of fresh air! A sunny spot in a gloomy world! Happy Patreon Anniversary!💛💚💗

Thanks for a wonderful two years! ❤️ Also if you need a relaxing and mildy spooky game you should try Strange Horticulture! You own a plant shop, collect new plants by completing lil puzzles and meanwhile there's a mystery to solve in the village! The sound effects are amazing. Also there's a new one coming out - same idea but with an antique shop!

I spent some time on the phone with my sister this evening discussing the horrors, then we digressed and spent a while talking about Dimension 20 because we needed a break from the horrors. But earlier today at work I made a hot chocolate collage for a sample for my toddler art class for Monday and got a good start on planning for the next pro-d art camp, where I've decided the kids are going to learn about abstract art. Right now I'm too tired to make so I've been watching this while playing a match game.

I would absolutely pay more for the 100% organic cotton option. I avoid polyester as much as possible.

I'm repairing moth holes in sweaters as I watch this. This is my side hustle in addition to teaching watercolor to adults, and I'm starting some new paintings of cityscapes for an exhibit in March. I can identify with the Seasons video game- all the old architecture in my city is being torn down and replaced with giant apartment buildings, so I'm photographing and painting pictures of the old skyline as fast as I can.

This was a lot of fun. I really love the finished painting and I can’t wait to print it out!
Another thing you could do at cons is crafting workshops. I go to a gaming and RPG convention called Gen con every year in Indianapolis, and they have guest crafters as well as people who make their own crafting events. There is also a great cosplay community there.
I think you go on their website and fill out forms of what events you’d like to run and you charge an amount for people to take your workshop. There are some people that do this exclusively throughout the con and their workshops get filled really quickly. I’ve taken sewing workshops, cosplay, workshops, basic crafting, and Crosstitch and painting and baking and really anything you wanna run. There’s also jewelry making and cottage core crafts. It’s a lot of fun. So that might be another thing to look at if you want to meet more people and do more of a crafters thing than a Cosplay thing. Just an idea!

I love the painting. I can't believe it's been 2 years! Good luck at the Cons. Your videos are a light in the dark winter...and possibly the descent of the country, but ya know. 🤷♀️😭 So yeah, I appreciate the work you put in on your projects and letting us shadow you
Carly Black
2025-02-01 02:20:11 +0000 UTC
Would love if Rachel would respond to this, but im not betting on it.
Is there a reason you've only made the designs available in the shirts that are polyester blends instead of having the 100% organic cotton and/or 100% recycled cotton options?

Rachel,
I can't believe it's been 2 years! I remember the years of you not being sure about having a Patreon channel.I remember when you were struggling to decide if you were going to do YouTube full time!My goodness time flies!
I hope you are beyond proud of all you have accomplished. You bring a lot of joy to us all. These are seriously rough times for some, and life seems crazy! You bring joy, unity, inclusion...you know all those good good things that we need in a civil society! I still love Friday nights with you and I do love that you make me happy in my heart ❤
On a different note- you are brave and I really think a Jester outfit would be amazing!!!
Safe travels and enjoy yourself.
Lots of love and congrats on 2 years here XO 💖 Audri

Katsu is pronounced like "Caw-tsu" not "Cat-sue". So "caw" like a bird, and "tsu" like in "tsunami". Just FYI. 💜

Greetings from Australia! I wish I could afford a plane ticket to the New Zealand con to meet you, but I live in Western Australia (very far from NZ). Thanks for the lovely free Frodo painting. I'm looking forward to purchasing merch in the future!

Thank you for the Frodo gift. I made it as my phone wallpaper. I’ve been working on a school project on making a Beatles tour of England. It’s for my Project Managment class. I’m hoping to graduate (at 52) in May with a Bachelor’s in M. A.

Totally off topic here, but I was rewatching the video where you created the dress from a video game. And honestly I would be down for some let's plays from you if you ever wanted to delve into it. Kinda giving Jenna Marbles' "I suck at videogames"

Have you played Indiana Jones and the Great Circle yet? I thought it was good, lots of puzzles and things to explore. It is a little glitchy though.
