Shayda Campbell teaches art and all things creative on YouTube. Working from her home in Prince Edward Island she makes art tutorials – two every week – with the hope of encouraging the artist in all of us. A worthy goal, if any.

“At the heart of my YouTube channel is the idea that making the artifacts of our everyday life, things like cookies, calendars or greeting cards, into things of beauty is an important task,” she says. “It’s uplifting. First, because the process of creativity is so wonderful, and second, because it’s just lovely to be surrounded by lovely things.”

Indeed, Campbell Youtube channel, as well as her Instagram page, will inspire you to surround yourself by lovely things. Those don’t have to be expensive, in fact you can make them yourself.

“I’ve tried my best to make my channel a calm, inspirational space where you can approach the basics of drawing, watercolor painting, journaling, and many other crafts,” she writes on her website. “There are so many benefits to everyday creativity, so I hope you’ll grab a paint brush and join me. Because creativity is play, anyone can do it!”

Her channel is all about getting creative, no matter your skill level. “I think we have so much to gain by investing in our lives in a creative and artistic way,” says Campbell. “So let’s make our own hand lettered cards, knit our own hats and bake a gorgeous birthday cake for a loved one. I know we can do it.”

Go ahead, roll your sleeves and get those creative juices flowing!

Recycling is encouraged by so many international bodies. Some countries have gone the extra mile to pay people for recycling their waste. This artist found the perfect way to recycle textile waste.

Vanessa Barragão comes from Portugal, and she creates some beautiful tapestry, and she gets her material from discarded industrial waste. She was raised in the coastal city of Albufeira. Most of her artworks are inspired by underwater plants, coral reefs and animals. These three are also the most common themes in the amazing tapestry she creates.

This artist started working from her studio 5 years ago while she was a master’s degree student at the University of Lisbon. This was where she mastered the art of creating beautiful tapestries. Presently, Vanessa resides in the northwestern city of Porto. In this region, you can find the textile industry core of the country. When she is not working as a textile designer in a rug factory, she runs her own studio.

It is always a thing of joy when our grandparents learn new things about technology. But when they master these tricky inventions, it is impressive. This grandma from Spain has shown that age is not a barrier to learning new things.

Concha Garcia Zaera developed a love for Microsoft Paint when her husband became ill and she had to spend a lot of time staying at home. She started by painting houses and then adding mountains to each painting. As time passed, she started to add more details and the results are amazing.

She gets her inspiration from postcards sent by her husband or other pictures. She takes at least two weeks to focus on the details on the picture. Concha posted her creations on Facebook initially until her Daughter introduced her to Instagram.

Since then, this incredible grandma has gained more than a hundred thousand followers.
