I’m wrapping up a chaotic 2025 the only way that makes sense to me: with a big, ridiculous Christmas art supplies haul. In this video I literally wrapped everything up so I could open one giant art present on camera (because yes, I am that person), and we get to take a little break from reality and just revel in new supplies. It’s very much a “look at the shiny things” episode—unboxings, hauls, and that cosy end-of-year studio energy. One of the main things I actually open properly is the sixth and final Matisse Masters subscription box, which was such a fun way to finish the series. They’re doing a second year and there’s still time to sign up (I believe it’s Australians only), but I’m not jumping in again purely because I have entirely too many paints already. I also mention my Amazon storefronts (AU and US) where I keep a running list of products I genuinely love using, and I’ll be back around Dec 30/31 with a bonus end-of-year video to chat through my thoughts on 2025 heading into 2026.
