    🤣. When you say “I do what I want”, I cracked up. My sister’s favorite saying is “You not the boss of me”, in a 5 year olds voice. She’s 47! You go Gayle! Really loving the canvas covers. The mod podged ones sound like plastic school folders as you ink! Hugs!! 🤗

    Oh, wow! The crackle is my favorite too! Thank you for all the journal cover tutorials; I have been loving it. By the way, I got my package from Cinnamon T so promptly. Everything was packaged so beautifully and with such love and care. And I want to let you know how much I appreciate the way you addressed the mass shootings in the last video. I cried right along with you. Being kind, caring, empathetic, and mindful of others is how I wish all humans would live. Hugs to My Montana Lady.

    Haha! The hour disappeared cuz you were having so much fun! You have inspired me so much and opened my eyes as to what makes a cover. I have felt like I need to make every journalminto a hardcover book, but see now that isnt the case. Thanks so much Gayle! I am having fun going through your "older" videos for even more inspiration. Hugs!🐦

    TFS! I have a stack of canvass fabric. When my twin sons were young and started bowling, their coach worked for a company that made fabric and he brought me a bunch of canvass fabric. I did use some when I was doing acrylic painting, but now I will use the rest and make some journals.

Had a thought when you were inking the other covers - you could have used blueprint sketch or chipped sapphire on the napkin cover. I am really loving this series!

I'm starting to really like your least favorite one! I had to laugh when you said you were sitting in your hammock watching a bird preen. Whhhaaaat? How do you possibly have time to lay around in your hammock???? I'm in awe!! Thanks.

    Great covers, Gayle! I really liked the bird one. A big bird fan as they have nests all around my home and it's so much fun to watch them nesting their young. I need to make a bird journal just so I can record their actions around here. Looks like you might need a box of medical vinyl gloves on hand for doing inking. They are thin and also things don't slip out of them. I used them all the time when I worked in a Chemical plant. And my hubby and I use them all the time for doing icky kind of work around the house. Though, I have always loved getting my hands messy. Even as a kid, I was the first one in the mud puddle squishing the mud between my fingers. Fun! I really like how you inked up the front of the canvas covers. Nice colors and I'm just a grungy effects kind of gal, so I'm with you on doing all the edges and things getting too bright. Thought the crackle effect on the one looked great, too. I was thinking that it all looked pretty good, then you put on the little napkin bird on the one. Oh, my gosh! I'm in love. So, adorably cute! And so simple, too. Simplicity always is the best! Can't wait to see another birdie on the other one! Well, have a great rest of your evening! Sue H.

    I’m glad you do you. It kinda helps me be brave enough for me to be me. It takes courage to put yourself and your art out there. I have no plans to do anything on the scale you are. I’ll make journals for my use and maybe for my daughters. It’s crazy, but I actually feel a little afraid to express myself like it won’t be as pretty or clever. Paper craft is new to me. I can throw a darn good pot on the wheel but journalling stops me cold. So thank you for your videos. I’ve learned so much.

    I loved the patch on the canvas as soon as I saw it. Can't wait to see what you do with it. The gesso gives a great effect with the watered inks, although it seems to be a bit more difficult to get the color down. It reminds me of one time that I tried watercolors on gessoed canvas.
