00:00:00.070 --> 00:00:02.140
- Swifties I come in peace, okay.

00:00:02.140 --> 00:00:03.530
Stream folklore.

00:00:03.530 --> 00:00:04.850
I'm just kind of winging it.

00:00:04.850 --> 00:00:06.150
Here goes nothing.

00:00:06.150 --> 00:00:09.373
- These tiny ones are
murderously difficult.

00:00:11.401 --> 00:00:12.760
Look how beautiful.

00:00:12.760 --> 00:00:13.593
- Oh my God.

00:00:14.540 --> 00:00:17.541
I'm actually speechless right now.

00:00:17.541 --> 00:00:20.624
(upbeat flute music)

00:00:22.247 --> 00:00:24.980
- Hey besties, this is your
reminder to go drink water,

00:00:24.980 --> 00:00:26.200
if you haven't already today.

00:00:26.200 --> 00:00:28.510
Welcome back to yet another episode of

00:00:28.510 --> 00:00:31.660
Amanda doing random things on her channel.

00:00:31.660 --> 00:00:34.945
I'm tired of being confined to
a small sized piece of paper

00:00:34.945 --> 00:00:37.820
and I'm breaking free of those shackles.

00:00:37.820 --> 00:00:40.070
I've been wanting to do bigger
art projects on my channels

00:00:40.070 --> 00:00:42.570
besides like the regular
bullet journal stuff.

00:00:42.570 --> 00:00:45.330
But I didn't really know
exactly what I wanted to do

00:00:45.330 --> 00:00:48.910
until I had a nice, little video call

00:00:48.910 --> 00:00:51.670
with my fellow Toronto
YouTuber @withwendy.

00:00:51.670 --> 00:00:52.890
If you guys don't know who she is,

00:00:52.890 --> 00:00:55.450
she is an awesome YouTuber who sews stuff.

00:00:55.450 --> 00:00:57.080
She DIYs stuff.

00:00:57.080 --> 00:00:59.840
And she is just a lovely,
lovely human being.

00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:01.327
We put it on the back burner for a while

00:01:01.327 --> 00:01:04.860
until the Grammys that happened recently.

00:01:04.860 --> 00:01:06.957
And she immediately
messaged me and was like,

00:01:06.957 --> 00:01:07.820
"how about this?"

00:01:07.820 --> 00:01:10.457
She sends me a picture of Taylor Swift's

00:01:10.457 --> 00:01:13.080
lovely outfit from the Grammys.

00:01:13.080 --> 00:01:15.150
And it's just with all these flowers

00:01:15.150 --> 00:01:18.330
all over her dress that
are, like, hand embroidered

00:01:18.330 --> 00:01:19.920
and she just looks great.

00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:23.070
She looks chef's kiss, very cottage core.

00:01:23.070 --> 00:01:26.850
You know, today I will be
hand-painting a ton of flowers

00:01:26.850 --> 00:01:30.610
so that me and Wendy can
recreate Taylor Swift's look.

00:01:30.610 --> 00:01:32.820
I'm in charge of the flowers

00:01:32.820 --> 00:01:34.460
and then I'm gonna pass it off to her.

00:01:34.460 --> 00:01:38.460
It's gonna be kind of
like an art DIY relay.

00:01:38.460 --> 00:01:41.230
It'll be cool for me to see how the actual

00:01:41.230 --> 00:01:42.340
final project turns out

00:01:42.340 --> 00:01:45.450
because I won't be there to
see how she puts it together.

00:01:45.450 --> 00:01:47.820
I'll only see, you know what I paint

00:01:47.820 --> 00:01:51.690
and then it'll be magically
transformed into this garment.

00:01:51.690 --> 00:01:54.693
This is the fabric that I have over here.

00:01:55.770 --> 00:01:57.990
Wendy and I did a little handoff,

00:01:57.990 --> 00:01:59.340
it felt like we were passing

00:01:59.340 --> 00:02:01.360
off illegal substances or something.

00:02:01.360 --> 00:02:02.240
- [Amanda] I got the goods.

00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:04.120
- Yay!
- [Amanda] Thank you.

00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:06.506
I will see you at the next drop off.

00:02:06.506 --> 00:02:08.740
- Social distance drop off

00:02:08.740 --> 00:02:10.080
Mission accomplished.

00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:12.170
All right, bye.
- Bye.

00:02:12.170 --> 00:02:13.830
- There's a lot of fabric.

00:02:13.830 --> 00:02:15.810
Now looking at it,

00:02:15.810 --> 00:02:20.400
I think I did underestimate
how much I would have to paint.

00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:21.467
I was like to Wendy.

00:02:21.467 --> 00:02:23.750
"Yeah. Yeah. I'll paint all those flowers.

00:02:23.750 --> 00:02:24.583
No worries.

00:02:24.583 --> 00:02:26.520
I can finish that."

00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:27.880
But I'm gonna have to buckle down

00:02:27.880 --> 00:02:30.520
and do it, for the Swifties.

00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:32.030
For the Swifties.

00:02:32.030 --> 00:02:34.499
I feel like I'm unlocking
a whole side of YouTube

00:02:34.499 --> 00:02:37.710
that I don't know if I
wanna be messing with,

00:02:37.710 --> 00:02:39.700
the Swifties are too powerful.

00:02:39.700 --> 00:02:41.820
Swifties I come in peace, okay.

00:02:41.820 --> 00:02:43.340
Stream Folklore.

00:02:43.340 --> 00:02:44.870
All right, so let's just get started.

00:02:44.870 --> 00:02:46.010
I'm gonna lay out this fabric

00:02:46.010 --> 00:02:48.780
so we can have one nice
big space to work on.

00:02:48.780 --> 00:02:50.819
I'll probably just be
working on it on the floor.

00:02:50.819 --> 00:02:52.853
So RIP my back.

00:02:55.780 --> 00:02:57.570
- [Amanda] Oh my God.

00:02:57.570 --> 00:02:59.353
That is a lot of fabric.

00:03:01.850 --> 00:03:03.470
I've never painted on fabric before

00:03:03.470 --> 00:03:06.120
so I didn't know exactly what to get.

00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:09.210
I got two different types of fabric paint.

00:03:09.210 --> 00:03:12.530
This one is Castle Arts.

00:03:12.530 --> 00:03:15.709
Castle Arts 3D Fabric Paint.

00:03:15.709 --> 00:03:17.730
I'm assuming since it says 3D,

00:03:17.730 --> 00:03:20.860
it's gonna be a little bit
like puffy paint almost.

00:03:20.860 --> 00:03:23.300
So maybe that'll give
us some nice texture.

00:03:23.300 --> 00:03:24.360
I thought it would be nice,

00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:26.165
especially since a lot
of the flowers kinda

00:03:26.165 --> 00:03:31.165
have that 3D look on her dress.

00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:34.860
And then I also got these Arteza.

00:03:34.860 --> 00:03:37.550
Arteza 24 Fabric Colors.

00:03:37.550 --> 00:03:41.313
I think this is just regular fabric paint.

00:03:42.276 --> 00:03:43.260
I don't know.

00:03:43.260 --> 00:03:44.960
It had the best ratings on Amazon.

00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:46.930
I'm gonna have to do a lot of color mixing

00:03:46.930 --> 00:03:49.570
'cause these colors are extremely bright.

00:03:49.570 --> 00:03:52.330
I'm tryna think of what
my best plan of action is.

00:03:52.330 --> 00:03:54.270
Okay. I'm wearing pants,

00:03:54.270 --> 00:03:55.670
it may look like I'm not wearing pants.

00:03:55.670 --> 00:03:59.090
I printed out these pictures
so I have some reference

00:03:59.090 --> 00:04:00.130
while I'm painting.

00:04:00.130 --> 00:04:04.020
It also got extremely cloudy
while I was setting up,

00:04:04.020 --> 00:04:06.450
which makes painting
flowers not as exciting.

00:04:06.450 --> 00:04:08.680
I was so happy today
'cause it was so sunny.

00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:10.440
I was like, oh, I'm just
gonna paint some flowers

00:04:10.440 --> 00:04:13.060
and it's a sunny day, have the
windows open and everything.

00:04:13.060 --> 00:04:16.100
We're gonna be painting
flowers in a dimly lit room.

00:04:16.100 --> 00:04:17.740
So I'm gonna just get started.

00:04:17.740 --> 00:04:20.370
Honestly. I've never
painted on fabric before

00:04:20.370 --> 00:04:22.160
so I don't know how this is gonna go.

00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:24.230
I'm gonna try to keep it within this,

00:04:24.230 --> 00:04:26.410
like, the color palette
of the original dress

00:04:26.410 --> 00:04:29.300
and we'll see how it turns out.

00:04:29.300 --> 00:04:30.700
I'm just kind of winging it.

00:04:34.850 --> 00:04:37.583
Okay, well here goes, here goes nothing.

00:04:38.747 --> 00:04:41.664
(soft piano music)

00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:13.900
From what I can tell from
the two types of paint,

00:05:13.900 --> 00:05:15.940
they pretty much work exactly the same.

00:05:15.940 --> 00:05:19.530
I don't really feel any
difference between the 3D one

00:05:19.530 --> 00:05:20.790
and the regular paint.

00:05:20.790 --> 00:05:23.210
It is taking me a lot
longer than I expected

00:05:23.210 --> 00:05:26.120
because actually the fabric
is kind of soaking up a lot

00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:28.450
of paint, which means
that I have to, like,

00:05:28.450 --> 00:05:31.770
really lay it on thick and layer it a lot.

00:05:31.770 --> 00:05:34.590
So, that was something
I was not expecting.

00:05:34.590 --> 00:05:37.512
I was kind of, since I'm
used to drawing on paper.

00:05:37.512 --> 00:05:39.870
I was just kind of expecting
it to be like that.

00:05:39.870 --> 00:05:43.560
Yeah. It's gonna take quite a lot longer

00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:46.870
than what I initially thought.

00:05:46.870 --> 00:05:48.800
Probably gonna go ahead
and time-lapse it now

00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:50.430
and see how much I can get done.

00:05:50.430 --> 00:05:51.930
And then I'll try checking in

00:05:51.930 --> 00:05:54.730
once I have a little bit more
ready for you guys to see.

00:05:55.939 --> 00:05:58.856
(soft piano music)

00:07:44.710 --> 00:07:45.543
Okay guys.

00:07:45.543 --> 00:07:48.870
I have finally finished
the full flower piece.

00:07:48.870 --> 00:07:50.520
I don't know how many I've done

00:07:50.520 --> 00:07:53.840
but it looks like there's
like maybe over 500 here.

00:07:53.840 --> 00:07:56.410
It took me a lot longer than I expected.

00:07:56.410 --> 00:07:59.330
I did kind of, like, three
or four full work days.

00:07:59.330 --> 00:08:02.568
Some of them were four hours,
five hours, three hours.

00:08:02.568 --> 00:08:04.460
So I wanna say in total

00:08:04.460 --> 00:08:08.760
this was maybe, like, 20 hours of work.

00:08:08.760 --> 00:08:11.183
So, it took a while,
but we finally finished.

00:08:11.183 --> 00:08:13.210
Let me see if I can
hold it up for you guys.

00:08:13.210 --> 00:08:16.223
I'll put also insert shots,
but look at all of this.

00:08:17.470 --> 00:08:18.350
I'm so excited.

00:08:18.350 --> 00:08:20.780
Hopefully Wendy can work with this

00:08:20.780 --> 00:08:22.760
and make this look like something good.

00:08:22.760 --> 00:08:25.480
I'm really excited to see
how she transformed this.

00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:27.728
I'm actually gonna be
handing it off to her today.

00:08:27.728 --> 00:08:30.050
So, we're gonna do a little pass off

00:08:30.050 --> 00:08:32.670
and then the next time I'll
see it, it'll be a shirt.

00:08:32.670 --> 00:08:34.893
So that's gonna be very exciting.

00:08:36.357 --> 00:08:39.190
(soft jazz music)

00:08:53.742 --> 00:08:56.804
- Guys, Amanda did such a beautiful job.

00:08:56.804 --> 00:09:00.221
I don't even really want to cut it apart.

00:09:02.544 --> 00:09:03.950
Look how beautiful.

00:09:03.950 --> 00:09:07.260
These tiny ones are murderously difficult.

00:09:07.260 --> 00:09:08.440
- Okay guys, I'm so excited

00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:12.010
because today is finally
the day that I get to see

00:09:12.010 --> 00:09:16.550
the finished piece that Wendy
made with my flower paintings,

00:09:16.550 --> 00:09:19.633
the hundreds of flowers that
I painstakingly painted.

00:09:21.492 --> 00:09:23.730
I have no idea what
this is gonna look like.

00:09:23.730 --> 00:09:27.190
She didn't keep me updated
while she was making it at all.

00:09:27.190 --> 00:09:30.060
She did say that she wasn't
able to make a full dress.

00:09:30.060 --> 00:09:33.640
She made a top instead, which
is totally fine with me.

00:09:33.640 --> 00:09:34.550
I have it right here.

00:09:34.550 --> 00:09:36.650
I kept it in the bag
that she gave it to me in

00:09:36.650 --> 00:09:38.840
this whole time so that I
wouldn't have a sneak peek

00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:40.190
of what it would look like.

00:09:41.950 --> 00:09:42.810
I'm kinda nervous.

00:09:42.810 --> 00:09:44.660
Okay. Should we just open it I guess?

00:09:46.070 --> 00:09:47.167
Ready?

00:09:47.167 --> 00:09:50.000
(packet ruffling)

00:09:50.990 --> 00:09:52.940
Oh my God.

00:09:52.940 --> 00:09:53.823
Wait.

00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:56.073
Oh my God.

00:09:56.970 --> 00:09:59.543
I'm actually speechless right now.

00:10:01.340 --> 00:10:02.173
Look.

00:10:03.300 --> 00:10:06.570
Wait, this is so cool.

00:10:06.570 --> 00:10:08.650
How did she do this?

00:10:08.650 --> 00:10:09.483
Oh my God.

00:10:09.483 --> 00:10:11.390
This is so beautiful.

00:10:11.390 --> 00:10:14.190
Wow. I actually don't know what to say.

00:10:14.190 --> 00:10:15.870
Like, I'm genuinely shocked.

00:10:15.870 --> 00:10:17.500
This looks so cool.

00:10:17.500 --> 00:10:19.540
Like, I don't know if
you can see the details

00:10:19.540 --> 00:10:20.783
but let me see.

00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.470
They're all, like, individually sewed on,

00:10:24.470 --> 00:10:28.513
all of the flowers, like,
cut and stitched out.

00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:31.570
Whoa!

00:10:31.570 --> 00:10:33.630
This looks so cool.

00:10:33.630 --> 00:10:35.540
I'm gonna try it on in
a sec, but I feel like

00:10:35.540 --> 00:10:37.960
it definitely looks like
the Taylor Swift dress

00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:40.540
but maybe in, like, a more everyday look

00:10:40.540 --> 00:10:42.530
'cause it's in a top of course.

00:10:42.530 --> 00:10:43.773
Oh my gosh, Wait.

00:10:45.010 --> 00:10:46.670
Wendy!

00:10:46.670 --> 00:10:48.243
You did such a good job.

00:10:49.140 --> 00:10:50.220
I was so concerned.

00:10:50.220 --> 00:10:51.580
I was like, "I don't
know if she'll be able to

00:10:51.580 --> 00:10:53.710
salvage these flowers 'cause some of them

00:10:53.710 --> 00:10:55.880
definitely looked a little bit botch."

00:10:55.880 --> 00:10:57.247
and at certain points I was like,

00:10:57.247 --> 00:10:59.250
"I don't know if I'm doing
them the right size."

00:10:59.250 --> 00:11:03.410
And I know, like, what she had
imagined for this, but like,

00:11:03.410 --> 00:11:05.600
this is actually incredible.

00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:06.433
Okay. Wait, BRB.

00:11:06.433 --> 00:11:08.080
I'm gonna change into the top

00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:10.423
and show you guys how it looks like on.

00:11:15.660 --> 00:11:17.930
Can we just...

00:11:17.930 --> 00:11:20.318
Can I hear a little
commotion for the dress?

00:11:20.318 --> 00:11:22.400
(audience applauding)

00:11:22.400 --> 00:11:23.233
Wendy.

00:11:25.678 --> 00:11:28.737
(Amanda clapping)

00:11:28.737 --> 00:11:31.320
(upbeat music)

00:11:41.257 --> 00:11:42.370
This was a team effort.

00:11:42.370 --> 00:11:44.470
So props Wendy, through the screen.

00:11:44.470 --> 00:11:47.020
I actually think I prefer it as a top

00:11:47.020 --> 00:11:49.390
because it's like more wearable that way.

00:11:49.390 --> 00:11:52.120
I'm just wearing it with
some black jeans right now

00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:55.023
but this looks so good.

00:11:55.991 --> 00:11:58.990
I mean, I guess I can
wrap this video up now.

00:11:58.990 --> 00:12:01.633
I keep looking at the shirt
because it's so pretty.

00:12:02.940 --> 00:12:05.190
Definitely a success.

00:12:05.190 --> 00:12:07.600
This was such a fun collaboration to do

00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:09.400
between the painting and then, like,

00:12:09.400 --> 00:12:10.900
dropping off everything.

00:12:10.900 --> 00:12:12.720
It really felt like a big group project

00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:14.770
and shout out, of course, to Wendy

00:12:14.770 --> 00:12:18.460
for making this incredible
piece out of my painting.

00:12:18.460 --> 00:12:20.740
I really did not know
how it would turn out

00:12:20.740 --> 00:12:22.880
or if she would be able to
use the flowers that I made

00:12:22.880 --> 00:12:25.070
but she definitely pulled it off.

00:12:25.070 --> 00:12:27.070
If you do wanna check
out the whole process

00:12:27.070 --> 00:12:28.870
of her making this top,

00:12:28.870 --> 00:12:31.490
I think she also made one for herself,

00:12:31.490 --> 00:12:34.030
but like a maternity style
'cause she's currently pregnant.

00:12:34.030 --> 00:12:36.630
So, if you wanna check out
the whole process of her

00:12:36.630 --> 00:12:39.940
turning that huge flower
painting into this top,

00:12:39.940 --> 00:12:41.700
definitely be sure to check out her video,

00:12:41.700 --> 00:12:42.590
give her some love.

00:12:42.590 --> 00:12:46.070
She is so, so sweet and
so talented clearly.

00:12:46.070 --> 00:12:48.400
And I love her and her content so much.

00:12:48.400 --> 00:12:51.710
So, I'll leave the link
to her channel down below.

00:12:51.710 --> 00:12:52.940
Thank you again, Wendy.

00:12:52.940 --> 00:12:54.520
And I think that's pretty much it.

00:12:54.520 --> 00:12:58.060
So I will talk to you
guys in the next video.

00:12:58.060 --> 00:12:59.090
Keep doodling.

00:12:59.090 --> 00:13:00.050
Bye.

00:13:00.050 --> 00:13:01.210
where do I go now?

00:13:01.210 --> 00:13:02.853
Like this is just so cute.

00:13:04.243 --> 00:13:07.076
