    One of my most favourite crafting videos. Sometimes I watch it just for the pleasure of it))) And I've been wanting to upcycle the cover of an old English textbook. Thanks a lot!

    Fabulous aging and distressing of the book cover and enough to leave out the title of the Atlas. Love the closure and the binding and the seam binding decorations, too! Great job!

    What amazing art you created ! I for sure want to take the love and care to fix up an old worn piece of history while updating it to be used once again, it it's just beautiful! I own an old 1889 catalog that is so cool and very poor shape and I'm going to save the pages of it and use the fantastic cover in this way! Thank you for the inspiration! Very relaxing to me too..👏

    Coucou France,
    What a brilliant idea and project, you have worked you magic again to create such a gorgeous repurposed bespoke folder. I love everything about it, all the colours, textures and the vintage style too. The spine embellishments are delightful. I will add this to my ‘To Do ‘ list as I have a few of old books that would work well I am sure. Thank you for your inspiriation and clear easy to follow instructions.
    Warmest best wishes,
    Susanne

    I have been watching video after video on mixed media projects for about a week now. I really like this video and how she instructs as she goes. I understood the instructions, products used, and could see what she was doing just fine. I like she didn't leave out parts and I could easily follow her from beginning to end. I love old atlases and now, using the info from this video to jump off from, I have several ideas of my own how to re-purpose old atlases and books when I find them. Thank You!

    I bind books. Instead of being 'painful;, you know.. I thought that this is really an elegant way of expressing what a book can be. I really like the concept of re-purposing a book like the atlas in this way.. in a way it makes it into an atlas of the creative genius. Added a new layer of depth to the background of mixed-media.

    Gosh, it took me back to school days when we HAD TO mend & cover text books, a few of the same methods too (if I'd known then....?)
    It will certainly make filing a more pleasurable, grungey experience for you & gives a few more pockets of storage at the same time. As you say "Ta dah!"😊

      Yes, I see that. I just see the art in atlases and it makes my heart hurt when anyone "reuses" a book. I respect what you do, but I would have to go take some color laser copies and use those and leave the book intact.

    Beautiful,beautiful,beautiful 👏👏👏💕🦋 Funny Fact: the piece on the fashion pattern was in Polish ( I’m Polish and I do speak and write/read it) , it said “Suknia Sportowa obwód 22cm” - which means “ sporty dress, waist 22 cm” 😂- it tickles me when I can find things like that on ephemera. 🙌
