    Morning Barbara, what a lovely, scrummy, yummy, cover. I am so glad we were able to watch you alter the cover from the geginning. I have always wanted to do this but felt very apprehensive and nervous that I would only ruin it and then have nothing to work with. You have inspired me to try, and, as I am planning on making a Garden Journal, I thank you for this video. You are ALWAYS so inspiring and so gentle in showing how an article can be made, it is wonderful. Thank you, again, for sharing with us, and I can't wait to carry on this nature adventure with you. Hope you are well and keeping safe, Blessings and hugs, as always, from Cape Town. Diana

    It helps to see your process. Thanks for sharing it, Barbara. You’re a generous teacher!
    Also, we call the sandwich paper, “deli paper” because it comes wrapped around a sandwich you order from the deli (delicatessen). Pretty much the same name as in German!

    And of course I am so touched and agitated, to watch the growing of this cover, because you added an ephemera-piece from me! It is such an honor for me, I can‘t believe it! Thank you so much for this pleasure! Love from Rita😘😘

    Ohh 😯...what a fabulous work of art! From the beginning to the end of this episode you've given inspiration, education and beauty in sight, sound, wisdom and encouragement. I really appreciated learning about your selection process and steps you follow. This journal will be so amazing ... the golden-rayed forest cover featuring the "shimmering" magpie and Rita's beautiful card. Gorgeous! I did a Google search and learned magpies are part of the raven family and are considered very clever and intelligent. Their plumage is iridescent and you portrayed it perfectly 😍. For all your hard work and generosity in sharing your creations, thank you so, SO much Barbara! 💖💖💖

    I have literally just finished watching the dephemerember videos and it was a joy to be able to progress straight on to the start of the journal process. I only found you and Luise in early January and I'm so new to JJ, but I've learnt SOOOO much already. This cover is beautiful. When you'd finished the background it looked like you were peering through a murky forest with light filtering through the leaves, vines and branches in the background. Beautiful!

  • @RobinfromCA
    @RobinfromCA 2 роки тому

  • @karmesindryade
    @karmesindryade 2 роки тому

    Hi Barbara. Thanks for sharing the process of making the cover. It is very inspiring to see how the background changed several times by putting another layer on top, removing it partly and start again until you are happy with it. That is the best way to do it (unless you already have a final picture of the result in your mind) - experimenting and learning. And having fun - because not only the result is what counts but also the creative process itself. Let's see how this journal develops... Hugs&Kisses from Wiesbaden 💖💖

    Lovely! The cover is so gorgeous, it would have been lovely with nothing on it, So in North America, they call the paper you used Deli paper. Deli stands for delicatessen which is the place you get meats and cheeses and sometimes things like sandwiches etc.

    Well, dang!! That was fun. At least it was fun for me. Lol. I love watching your process. I was excited to get Christmas out of the way. Because all my sewing would be done and then I could work on my cover (the one I used my 16 year old Grandsons 2 shirts). Christmas was done. No more excuses. So then the procrastination started. I dreamed about what I wanted to do, wake up and think about it some more! Finally started back to work on it and I’m loving it. I wish I could sew in my signatures, but there’s more I want to do on the pages that I won’t be able to do after they’re sewn in. Anyway, I love what you did. I absolutely love the leaves that you used like feathers. What a fun find!! Can’t wait for part 2!! ♥️♥️♥️
