Making a Lapbook of a Sea Dragon Researcher: Part 3 (Final Part)
You saw hints of this in the first video in this series where I showed the making of a sea dragon’s diary, but this is all the pieces put together into one lapbook. Full credit to Nik the Booksmith for being such a genius and I’ve a whole playlist of inspiration from other creators as well. A lot of the papers are by Tim Holtz, or purchased in Venice or out of my old scrapbooking stash.
You can read the story that’s all these sources combined over at www.projectstarfish.com
PS. I had trouble finding the sources for the vintage letters (so much for doing that well) but one did come from Vectoria Designs on Etsy (listed below)

Making a Lapbook of a Sea Dragon Researcher: Part 2, Making Jasper's Grail Diary
Переглядів 921 день тому
This is the first journal I made … mainly because I took a cheap knockoff of the Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade diary and then modified it to fit the timing of Jasper’s search. This meant I pulled out some signatures and added new ones back in, grunged up the cover and book, added old-looking end-papers and then added text and imagery that fits Jasper’s story.

I start off with a bit of a Japanese stationery shopping haul. I did a lot of writing this month, which I didn’t film.

Well, it was replacing the ancient air conditioner with a new one and patching the wall where it was. Also built a station for the dollshouse re...

Watch as I make a prop for The Môrdreigiau Chronicles series. With only one short story written, I had to find a text block that would fit the cover. And this one does, almost, with a sleight of hand. I altered the cover to add a fantastical dragon in gold paint and then at the last minute, decided on some bling. Still to come is the altering of Jasper’s Grail diary, which I share a little peek...
Refilling the Well: Creative Vlog February 2024

Heh, this is both about metaphorically refilling the well and then actually filling some watercolour pans (which are also known as wells, I think). I refilled the well by going on a trip to the Art Gallery of NSW to see the Bourgeios and Kandinsky exhibits - and at the very beginning of March I went back to the Bourgeios exhibit because that’s how amazing it was. I also join an art group, atten...
Writing Process as Art

Great lapbook!
I also learned much from Anne-Laure at Following the White Rabbit! I love her ingenuity and her upbeat videos! She always makes me smile! I’m wondering if you’ve ever tried the Nalgene wide mouth bottles for your water? They absolutely do not leak and they come in a variety of sizes and shapes. I personally prefer the 4oz and 6oz sizes depending on how big of a sketchbook I bring. I’ve never heard of anyone saying they’ve ever failed and leaked, though that is also dependent on if there is operator error while putting the top back on. 😆 Anyway, I loved your video(s) and appreciate the review on the Just Go Sketching kit. I already have most of the kit that I’ve cobbled together over the years and just missing the board, which I may DIY out of gator board. Thank you for all the time and effort that goes in to making a tutorial/review for others! Keep up the good work, and keep those brushes wet!
I can't wait for more! Such a beautiful trailer and an exciting premise :D
Thank you ... and same here!! I just now finished the mixed media journal that set me off on this track so I can film this weekend or next week (after I tidy up)
Love your review and explanation on what worked and what didn’t. Just got this bag in today. Packing up from my previous very crowded watercolor set up pouch. Looking forward to some outdoor experiences!
So glad it was helpful! I haven't used mine since summer started here down under. When it cools off a bit, I plan to head back out!
I couldn’t agree more! Especially as I bought this exact same bag from JustGoSketching plus the sketching companion and the found the very same bag on Amazon for £14! The sketching companion is very handy but at £30 hardly a bargain and I’m sure you could make something similar as it’s not very well finished off for the money! In total I think I paid around £55 -59 - gutted🤨
We love you leanne 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
super!This video is a masterclass in creativity.
Wow! Thank you. Was there one takeaway that stood out for you?
Leanne, this is fantastic! I have a movie tolling in front of my eyes, it's gripping, just the right amount of dangerous, relevant and schmaltzy, and a world I want to immense myself in! I predict great success. I do hope somebody will realise that this needs to be a movie. I so admire your dedication to writing eco- fantasy!
*rolling.
thank you!
I love this one 😊
thanks :) I hope it's happy in your office!
This is wonderful way to remember your ancestors and a major world crisis. Loved the meditative part as well. 📿
thank you!
While this seems nice, I am struggling a bit to see the difference between this and the tonnes of widely available molle pouches (different sizes just like the justgosketching ones) that can be found anything from £7 to £20 with internal and external loops, various attachment points etc. straps or not and so on from Amazon, Army surplus stores and pretty much anywhere. Couple one of those bags/pouches with a nice quality watercolour sketch book, get some board and stick-on magnets (home bargains, B&M, DIY stores etc.) and you have the same thing. From their website the cheapest bag/board/sketchbook combo was £75 (free postage), whereas assembling it yourself would be a fraction of that price meaning you could probably have two sizes of bag (for versatility) and still come in under the justgosketching price. All I can see that you'd lose would be being able to choose the elastic ribbon colour. It's not even original really as once I started looking it seems that lots of people already use this type of bag for urban sketching. don't get me wrong, it looks really nice and has great gift potential due to the nice packaging and little gifts (unless that was just for you as a reviewer?), but I personally think it make much more sense and has more potential for customisation to an artist's own needs to get your own molle pouch/bag and other bits and have £s to spare on creating another sized kit or just to be more affordable.
Hiya! Thanks for sharing. Yeah, one could probably shop around and find the right sized bag and even make the backing board ... but I don't have that kind of time (or persistence). I bought this with my own money by the way and the owner didn't know (maybe still doesn't?) that I unboxed it and reviewed it. Would love to see your plein air kit, if you already have one, or how you put together one! The more inspiration we have out there the better!
And Bob's your uncle! 😂
and Fred's your aunt! Is the second half of that saying. Ah, colloquialisms, gotta love them!
What a lovely piece!
It really is! Thank you!
Great tips! Thank you for sharing your process.
Glad it was helpful!
Light journal edit. And I can't wait to read the story!
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for the eagerness!! :)
Lovely vlog, i love the variety of things you do !
Thank you! It keeps me out of trouble! :)
I was at the Flora Bowley gathering too! It was lovely but don’t have time to commit to the community right now. Excited for your zine!
Thanks! If you like her style, her Bloom True course covers all the basics. I am excited for my zine too!
Is there any way you could leave a link to your BAO bag? It looks great for traveling. What an exciting trip you must have had.
It was a great trip! And apologies for that oversight. I got it from Stickii Club but they are also available from Absent Studio (which should also have a listing of distributors).
Ah thank you
You have a beautiful studio tfs🇨🇦
You are so welcome!
not bad!
thank you!
Good evening-that is gorgeous - see you on my side. guy,
I love that you slip your glue stick in the rings. Thanks for that idea.
you're welcome. It's not original to me. I watched many many BAO bag videos :)
Perfect video for me I am totally addicted to those kind of videos thumbs up! This content needs P-R-O-M-O-S-M.
Bravo-breathtaknig upload~see you later! 😌
In a way, it's kind of sad that you can't have much of the stuff you'd like to have handy, but I must say, that's pretty cool and well thought out.
thanks! I'll be using it on our cruise next year for sure! (maybe packaged a little differently...)
