Altered Book/Art Journal #9 (asmr, no talking or music)
Переглядів 543 роки тому
Welcome back and a warm welcome to new subscribers. Thanks to everyone for their support. It's been a while since I worked on my altered book. I wasn't entirely satisfied with the end result,I felt the autumn trees image was too bright. In the thumbnail you can see instead a leaf with a strip of ledger paper. I noticed afterwards that the ledger paper entry was for September so that felt right!...

Your love of flowers, birds and seasons is so well done.
Thanks, l love anything with flowers and birds 🌷🕊
So many beautiful pages, so well thought out. Amazing work.
Thanks so much for your kind words 😊
Grand journal and beautiful poetry x
Thanks so much x
The journal is beautiful
Thanks so much 🙂
beautiful 💗
Thanks so much 💗
Hello. Just found your site. I really love your style of Edith Holden journaling. Here I especially like the photo/collage for the front of the notebook window, the Victorian tea ladies tag, and your writing board. Those were special touches. : )
Hiya, thanks so much for your lovely comments. Sorry for such a late reply l only just read this!
I tend to steer clear of things that are too fundy (I hope that’s okay to admit) but yours is not; it is *very* lovely and inspired by some of the best historic religious art. It’s nice to see poor, brave St. Joan in there.
Thanks so much for your lovely comment, this is exactly what l was hoping to acheive! I agree, religious art is wonderful and St. Joan has always been a favourite.
Beautiful journal! I would love to see a video where you show the whole process…or probably a few videos lol…great video
Thanks so much! It's something to think about...lol l'm such a slow maker it would take quite a few videos! 🙂
Beautiful ❤
Thank you ❤❤
Oh my. This is amazing. And the box is perfect for the book. It just 'fits'. It's an amazing collection you've made for the whole project. Wasn't it lovely to tuck all those things in the box that was just waiting for its purpose. Amazing--job well done. To the cute pencil holder to the specimen envelope to the added bits and the writing board. I have a zipped waxed canvas bag that's been waiting for a journal. It will call to me when the journal is created. (Leastwise I HOPE it will!! LOL) Thank you for the lovely slide show of all this goodness!
Dear Mel thanks so much for your lovely comments. This was definitely the most fun l have had making a journal. Yes the box is great for a journal and all the woodland bits and bobs. Glad you liked it and your lovely bag is waiting like you said for the journal that fits perfectly 😊
Hi. 🐱New Subscriber🐱 Was that eco dyed papers? The mushrooms are my favorite althoughI enjoyed the birds throughout. Excellent theme. Gorgeous journal and box Thanks for sharing
Hi, thanks so much for subscribing 😊 so glad you enjoyed the journal and box, it was such fun to make. Those were eco dyed papers but a digital download, l think from Nik the Booksmithv🙂
Fantastic
Thanks for watching and thanks so much for your lovely comment 😊
This journal is absolutely gorgeous! I love your style. :) What glue do you use to back your journal cards and tags? I have modge podge and fabritac but am worried they will make them wavy (I'm new to this, ha).
Thank you so much. It was so much fun to make. I use fabritac for my journal tags and cards as l find it doesn't ripple, sometimes a good quality glue stick. I can understand about modpodge l find it can cause waves. Still searching for the perfect glue! Do you make journals too?
@@dormousecottage I've just put together papers for signatures (been slowly collecting supplies while thrifting)! This will be my first junk journal. :)
That's lovely, l think collecting papers is one of the best bits :)
This is just lovely. I've admired the Edith Holden pages for some time now. Not an easy find in the US and yes, I realize they make prints of her pages--which somehow doesn't feel right to me. But I did score The Consise British Flora in Colour which some library got rid of (their loss is my gain!). I'm thinking maybe I could give a try at this altered file folder in a smaller scale and fit it inside the book I'm making to gift a gal at my work site. Yours turned out just lovely!
Thanks so much Mel. Apologies if this was written ages ago it's only just come through! I am having a rest and rethink about my channel at the moment. Even in the U.K Edith has become so sought after. When l have been on Ebay l have seen some quite rare items such as lamps from the U.S. You are so fortunate to get the concise flora, how lovely. Here it is sometimes 60 pounds on Amazon. Crazy!
Just checking back to see how life is treating you and if you've been able to find clarity about the 'what to do' on the channel. I can only imagine the amount of work and worry that goes into creating and sharing videos on the world wide web--and I have nothing but the upmost respect for those of you brave souls that give it a go and check in with yourselves to make sure it's 'worth it' for you at this given moment in time. I could understand wanting to back away from it with the time and investment it must take. And the energy--my goodness, some folks make multiple videos a week. I"m in awe and truly appreciate the efforts and energy but I want to tell them it's just not necessary to work oneself ragged. Plenty of videos out there--I can't make time in my life to WATCH all of them at the rate they're posted.... Bless their hearts for that kind of commitment though!! Right!! Enough of a ramble from me. Just curiously waiting to see where you land and totally will respect any decision. As the recipient of one of your works of art I hope you continue to create treasures you can share with others. Rest assured they ARE shown off and treasured and loved because of the time and effort and energy and the YOU that you put into them. Stay safe and well!!! Mel
Hi Mel, thanks so much, how lovely of you to say this. It makes me very happy to hear this, and it's so encouraging. I hope life is treating you well. I do feel a bit guilty for suddenly stopping my channel as l loved filming and especially doing asmr videos.It just didn't feel quite 'me'. Also l was spending far too much time on social media and decided that it wasn't good for me. I know what you mean...l don't know how some creators find the time and energy to do one or more videos a week. I think l might do a video once a month...l do like booktube,so have considered doing book review and haul videos. Thanks for watching and encouraging creativity, Mel, best wishes to you stay safe too 🙂
Very cute and creative! TFS the inspiration!
Hi Gail, thanks so much, it was fun to do a story 😊
Really lovely, thank you so much for sharing.
Hiya. Thanks so much 😊😊
Lovely bunny on the cover x
I know, l think that's one of her best paintings x
Oh this is so beautiful. I must go over to Tania's channel and look up the tutorial. I have only just discovered this group, and i m loving what i am seeing. x
Hi Denise, thanks so much. Tania's tutorials are wonderful. I agree the group is great 😊

I love it, great spread. Those birds are delightful. I never found the magazine with these papers 😭 Colleen from the group got a lovely 12x12 pad with leaves from b&m I don't have a store near me
Thanks Tania. Lucky Colleen l don't have a b&m either. The birds are from an Ali express paper pad 😊
Wonderful well worth the wait. You did a amazing job lurveee it 💐 I did one one with that page as a cover it's just a pretty page

Hello there, thanks so much for subscribing and your lovely words 😊😊
What a lovely wander through your woods. The book is just darling with it flip outs, tucked spots and pockets -- and the story of the fox made me smile and warmed my heart. What an amazing, unique creation for the challenge.
Hi Mel hope you are keeping well. Thanks so much, how lovely to hear. I really enjoyed making this book and the story, there's something about the woods here, they are very ancient and inspiring 🌳

Thanks so much Lorie, 😊
@@dormousecottage your very welcome 😊
Congratulations!! Such a perfect little art journal! <3
Hi Colleen thanks so much for your kind words, have entered you 😊
What a cute mini and what a lovely gift it will make for some lucky soul. I'm generally a silent watcher--enjoying the work of a fellow journal maker and learning as I/we go. Thank you for all your effort and for all that you do to help the silent/not so silent ones grow in the craftmanship. Cheers! Mel
Hi Mel, thanks so much it's lovely to meet new journal makers, do you show your work? your feedback is much appreciated and you are entered for the draw 😊
Thank you for entering me--I'm in the States so I didn't consider myself eligible. And no--I don't show my work even when I'm encouraged by friends and family. Love them dearly but I know they aren't necessarily an unbiased opinion. Hahaha. And I must confess, I have a bit of 'compare-itus' when I see the handiwork of so many of you in this youtube community. So I just enjoy taking a bit from here and a bit from there and keep learning and growing. That alone makes me abundantly joyful! :-)
@@melsdream thank you for sharing Mel, sometimes creating is too personal to share, l totally get what you are saying and have to remind myself that comparing robs us of creativity that's a quote that's helped😊also everyone is eligible for this draw wherever they live so good luck Mel 😊
