the whole point of the paint puck is to be able to hang your brushes upside down so that they drip into the tray in the bottom (that's what its used for, NOT to mix paints) instead of your table and dry safely instead of ruining the glue inside the ferrule - it also helps with preserving the original shape of the bristles. I've had mine for over a year now and I love it, but I also don't really use larger handled brushes. (also that thing on the bottom works exactly like physical makeup brush cleaners do) didn't get the idea from ticktock, got it from Frugalcrafter Lindsey Weirich here on youtube.

For the tube squeezer, the two extra pieces it came with are to help you hold it closed. They slide over the notches on the sides of the device.

Rae looks a lot happier and brighter somehow; i hope this means she's doing really well. This alone kept me enjoying the video all the way to the end. Take care of yourselves out there!
@JuliasAlteredArt
Hey honey, sorry if someone else already commented about this but I just wanted to pass on a pro tip about the watercolor ground; if you take any regular gesso and add a couple of tablespoons of bicarbonate soda (depending on how rough you want your surface) you will get a fairly good stand in for watercolor ground. The cold press QOR is definitely my favorite, but I have had surprisingly good results with this homemade recipe as well.
@Blick_Art
You always do such a great job with product tests! We've been big proponents of tube wringers for a long time- not just great for extracting every precious bit of color, they're also perfect for crimping the ends of paint tubes when you fill your own with custom mixtures, or handmade paint!
@Xanderful209
Tip-For the paint tube squeezer I recommend having some duct tape on hand incase your break the tube as parts of the ends can blister and pop and you can re seal the tube with the tape without the fear of paint drying out
@MisadventureMisty
Girl, I am not an artist, I don’t do anything artistic, but I’ve been watching you for years. And you are absolutely glowing lately! You are incredibly stunning and it’s been amazing watching you grow.
@PKMNmastercass
Just so you know the tube squeezer is meant to push the paint forward with the paint cap *on*. It helps with waste and getting every drop. Using it on an open tube will cause waste.
@hassandraws
omg those gel pens are MESMERISING ✨
@MishaStaggs
I've had my paint puck cup for a couple years and never thought to use it for my paints. But definitely hang your brush upside down instead. It works just fine that way too FYI: watercolor ground also comes in black :)

I work at an art supply store in Anchorage, Alaska, and it's always so funny to see the supplies that we take for granted show up on viral Tiktoks! I wonder what it would be like to just walk Rae around and talk about art stuff.. I'm always suprised at how surprised she is, but then I think, "What else don't people know about?!" I love you, Rae! <3 <3
@sinkingslowlywithasmile
I use the watercolor ground on cheap canvases and I sand it with a fine sandpaper to give it more smooth appearance.
@thisissophiaisabelle
Rae is the best at everything she does. She's immaculately talented. May God bless her and the people around her.
@angieemm
I wonder what would happen if you spread the watercolor base stuff onto a silicone pad and peeled it up after you painted. Could you then maybe cover the finished product with lamination or something on one side and turn it into a sticker or something? So many possibilities with that stuff.
@SpaceMango
First of all, love the video. BUT!! Please do not rinse acrylics in the sink, this is just a PSA for everyone, it will clog up the pipes and it will get very expensive in the end. Instead, use paper tissues and dry off as much as you can, and throw it away, and then you can rinse the little that’s left. My art teachers taught me the importance of that.

Has RaeDizzle reviewed the paper made of stone? I would love to see a full review using the most common mediums.
@kierstyngodenzi-stanard4813
YES!! I love videos like this where you test out products!!! I would be interested to see your take on the non glare graphite pencils that don't leave a shine behind. I love these kinds of videos because you can actually see products being put to the test and if they are worth their bang for their buck!!!! <3
@jessbutterfly1934
I simple love the first water jar/holder/cleaner being a “new” thing when Lindsay the frugal crafter and soooooooo many others myself included have been using these for years.
@djajgb3535
Is it just me or Rae's videos are always interesting and funny at the same time
