Hi, I'm Vandy, and I am an artist who does, well, everything! I'm guessing that if you've found this site, you probably are already a fan. And if you haven't heard of me, well, take a look around here, and at my website (www.vandyhall.com) to check out the sort of work I do. I work in all sorts of Media, and I want to share my art with you, and teach you to create your own.

I have been making my living as a glass blower, specializing in reproduction medieval and renaissance glassware. In the past six years, I've begun showing more of my two dimensional work and sculptural glass at Sci-fi Conventions, comicons, and in galleries. Because I am a chronic migraine sufferer (I often have migraines every day, sometimes for weeks in a row), I haven't been able to work in the glass studio enough in the last couple of years, and I am struggling to afford to pay my bills, let alone pay for medicine and doctors. I need to see a new headache specialist in order to keep looking for solutions to my often debilitating migraines and the doctor and many of the procedures and medications I haven't tried yet aren't covered by my health insurance.

So, why should you help me? Because I have a lot of really great artistic knowledge to share, and you will have access to coloring pages, tutorials, images of my work, and insight into my artistic process. And probably a few cat videos.

NOTE: I am currently in the process of re-doing my webpage so that I can have private password protected pages from which my patreons can download images. I expect this process to take a couple of months, but I'll try to get the image galleries going as quickly as possible.

Here are things that will be available to my subscribers:

Coloring Pages
You will get new designs before they are published, and exclusive designs just for my patrons. I plan on putting up at least a couple new pages a month, ideally one a week.

Access to High Resolution Images of My Work

You will be able to download high res images of my artwork for your personal use for things like desktops and screen savers.

Tutorials

Eventually, if I have enough money coming in so that I can spend time on this, I want to start building a database of tutorials to share. I have a background in teaching everything from felting to glass blowing. I am working to produce tutorials, both in video form and as written instructions with pictures, on many of my arts. I have also already spoken to several other artist about doing guest tutorials, including my father who will be showing jewelry techniques such as filigree and granulation.

I plan tutorials and videos on subjects such as:

-how to color, mount, and frame your coloring sheets as a piece of art on your wall
-beginning glass blowing techniques and techniques specific to medieval glass blowing
-felting projects and techniques, both needle felting and wet felting
-block printing
-collage and design
-reviews of products and techniques
-metal work: soldering, granulation, casting, enameling
-simple wiring and lighting for art and cosplay
-medieval arts such as: viking era posements (the woven/knotted wire viking era decoration) embroidery techniques, clothing construction (like for my gathered viking over-dress)
-guest tutorials by people I know who do really cool things
