How wonderful to find another South African miniaturist! Thank you for this detailed and generous tutorial, I love your videos and look forward to more.
Hellooo... can I also say that? How lovely to find another South African miniaturist!! 💗💗💗💗
Thank you for your support and kind words... I love your videos (and creative work😍😳) too! Your dioramas are fabulous, wow...
Keep going and keep creating 💕💗💌
I had mucked around with cardboard frustrated about the result & UA-camd my way directly to the right Fairy 🧚🏽♂️ Lovely to watch & well Explained . Saved my Sleep…& dreams of a miniature library 👀Tomorrow a new Day & a project to look forward to 👌Thankyou Dear 🌹
Oh Catherine... you are SO welcome!! 💗💗
Thank you for such a lovely message... I am thrilled that my video(s) could help you! I know what that mini book frustration feels like! 📚📖
And you sent a Super Thanks on top of that... THANKYOU for the love... I truly appreciate it!!! 😘👏🏼💗
Enjoy creating these little treasures 📕📗📘
Irene xxx
These are amazing! And the brush thief is adorable!
Ha ha... the thief is most annoying when he is desperate for attention!! 😖🐈⬛
But THANK YOU for watching... and for the kind words 💗😊
Ive just discovered your channel - it is indeed a wonderland - an inspiring and 'illuminating' place to watch a master miniaturist at work. Thank you so much for such comprehensive tutorials. You are clear, precise and your attention to detail is amazing. I make dioramas and your passion for making miniatures has given me so many more ideas or solved problematic conundrums I've encountered when making miniature books! -thank you so much. I will be eagerly awaiting more from your superb channel.
An aside; I have a tortoiseshell cat (Ethel) who sits with me in my studio, your brush thief gives my balsa strip nibbler a jolly good run for her money!!! They're such adorable companions and comical too!
Hellooooo! You have put a smile in my heart today ❤️😘... thank you!!!
It's all I could hope for... that you find help and inspiration, and maybe an answer for something that you were battling with... perfect!!
When making a video, I always think of what would help ME if I was watching it. It's very kind of you to say the videos are helpful and comprehensive, it's a huge compliment!
As for cats... yours sounds fabulous!! 😁😁🐈⬛️😻
Their job is purely to annoy us at critical times, and to feel that they are always and forever the centre stage of our lives! If they could, they would sit on our heads while we work! 😁😘💗
Love and warmth, Irene xx
Just found this channel. Thank you. There's never enough Minis to go around 😉
Welcome Wendy! I'm so glad you're enjoying it 😊
Yes... minis are MAGICAL! They give a big perspective on life 💗💗
Beautiful work. Thank you. And love it that your hands are not adorned with long painted fingernails! A joy to watch. Thank you.
Aaah Rosemary.... you made me have a good chuckle!! 😊😁😆 Yes, especially with miniatures, it's easier to work without "nail hindrance"!
Thank you... I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! 💗
You have the cutest brush thief ever!
Ha ha... thanks, I do! He'll do anything for attention!
WOW! So perfect! I thought I was crazy about detail and accuracy. These are absolutely beautiful!
I so hope you will post more tiny things in the future. Just knowing that there is someone else out there doing careful detail work in this world of mass-production and disposable consumption is heartwarming. Your attention to detail and accuracy is inspiring.
Thank you, so much.
Thank you so much for the wonderful words, I'm so glad you love the little books...! 💗📖📕(PS. I love your profile name 😊😊)
Yessss... I love that you also notice and care about THE DETAIL... it is everything in the miniature world! 💗
There is definitely more to come... working on those tiny leather pouches for the maps and scrolls right now 😊📜👍🏼
Thanks again, Irene xxx
You're not alone, I totally agree with you. Irene's channel is a magical spring board into the world of precision and beautiful miniatures. I too cant wait for more videos a fantastic channel.
@@LH-minis helloooo! So lovely to meet you!! 💗⚘️
Wow, how humbling it is when kind strangers say such wonderful things!! It blows me away that you feel like that... thank you!! 🌺😘💗
The thing I hope for MOST is that people find joy in expressing their creativity... and that my videos help them to take a step towards that 🖌🎨.
I'm so happy that you found help and inspiration here 😘🌸 ... please stay and keep watching! 💗😊
Irene xx
OMG... I am almost crying at the beauty of these miniature books. I have fallen completely in love with them and can´t wait to start making them. Thank you so much for this video, instructions and free gift. I live so far away from the countries or cities where you can find these supplies (farm in the south of Chile) I appreciate deeply your generosity. I am just so sorry I did not discovered this before. The way you work with them.. so gentle and professional, knowing each detail counts... my respect and admiration. Thanks again!
What a beautiful soul you are 💗... thank you Elisa for taking the time to express how you feel. I truly understand your feelings... when I discovered miniatures I too was mesmerized and captivated ❤️. I thought, "There must be a way to show others how to make them too"!! Yes... detail is everything in this game 📖📕. I'm very grateful that you find my DIY videos helpful... I really believe it helps to show people how to help themselves 😊.
As for the supplies... I too am isolated from easy access. Unfortunately the South African postal system here has collapsed, so I resort to courier delivery only. Some supplies are obtainable here, but thankfully I can make use of Amazon!👏🏽
I know you will have a lot of happiness and fun creating these little books... you will get lost in the creative process! 🥰📕📗📘
Love, Irene xxx
I've watched this a few times to make sure I got all the steps right. My books look better than I could have hoped for!
Hi K!
Oh... that makes me happier than you can imagine... it's such music to my ears when I hear of someone's sweet success, well done! xxx
I love your attention to details. This is the best mini book tutorial by a long way. Thank you.
Hello Peter 😊
Your kind words are very humbling... thank you 💗
I'm so pleased that you've found the tutorial helpful and easy to watch! I hope you'll get as much pleasure from creating your own tiny books! 📖📕
Irene xx
Hello, I recogise your accent. South African. What a super mini book you have created. I am a bookbinder and these are the most super fun. I have only made blank miniatures. Thank you!
Hello Paddy! How wonderful that you recognize the 'terrible' accent 😊... are you also South African?
Oh dear, a real bookbinder makes me feel quite unworthy! Mine are only supposed to be creative and fun, so I'm glad you had that 😊😊. I hope you enjoyed the video, maybe even the printables 💗💗
Irene xx
Those little details make all the difference.. you’ve thought of everything. Really nice.
Thank you so much.
You are most welcome! 💗😚
Thank you for the kind words...
Best book tutorial ever!
Kristen 🥰💗💗 you are tooo kind!! I hope you enjoyed it and making your own mini books 😊📖📙📗📕
I feel like I need a dozen or more on a tiny bookshelf on my bookshelf!
And you would be right, of course! 💗😊
Lol... thank you!! 🌸
These are simply *stunning*. I also color the edges and creases of my papers only I use an alcohol marker close in color to the object I'm making. Thank you SO much for the tutorial and especially the free printables. I've been looking for these for a long time.
Thank you for the kind words, Michael! Very clever to colour the small details, it makes all the difference. I'm so glad the printables were what you were looking for!
Where did you access the pages to be printed? Thank you!
Thank you so much. These are wonderful ❤️
You are so welcome, Evelyn! 📚 💗 😘
How lovely these are! I have to say this is one of the very best craft videos on UA-cam. You do a really fabulous job of explaining and showing how to do everything and you speak clearly so it is easy to understand. I love the most that you don't have a bunch of banal chatter like so many UA-cam crafters that ruins those videos for me. It is also so very kind and generous of you to provide the printable book pages for free. Thank you so much for such a great tutorial all around. Best wishes to you.
You are so welcome, Dianne! ❤️ It's an absolute joy when people interact!
When one creates content for UA-cam, one needs to remember how wonderful it is when viewers actually get help for whatever topic they're looking for! 😊😊
I'm delighted that you can understand my South African accent, ha ha! There are so many ways to make mini books... I really hope my video steps are easy enough to follow. 💗
Thank you for your lovely message... I hope you have plenty of fun creating your own lovely mini books 📖📕💗
(PS. The book covers and end pages are free, and the inner pages can be bought on my website shop - all the links are in the video description).
Always, Irene xxx
Well done girl, I’m going to do this soon. Thanks, Jim (CANADA)
Hello Jim! 😊
Thank you very much!
How wonderful... enjoy the process! 💗📖📕
You are one of the most amazing miniature artist. Such dedication to the craft and its perfection. Love your books.
Wow, thank you so much, Sharon! I truly appreciate your kind words and support 😊💗
Ficou simplesmente encantador... e a pessoa que fez, parabéns pela criatividade e paciência.
Muito obrigado!! 💗🤗 Agradeço suas amáveis palavras 🙏🏽
I am so pleased w these little books. Your tutorials are so well done. I have them almost memorized, yet keep returning to find something i missed. I had no idea how much I would enjoy this process. Thank you so much Irene!
Aaaaah Kathy, you make my heart smile!! 🌸🌹 It is so nice to see your enjoyment of the creative process... I love to see it!! I remember feeling exactly the same when I made my first book!! 📖📚
You are SO welcome, dear friend 💗🌷
I love the brush thief.... 😂 😂 😂 😂
Hello Gladys!! Wow, it's fabulous to see you here... !! It's great that you enjoyed it! Videos are hard work... it's so rewarding when people enjoy them!! xxx

This is an excellent video, very clear, and you are such a good teacher. Thank you so much (Australia)
Hello Sandra😊... thank you, you are so welcome!! 💗💗

Hi Irene, is Kehilwe from Scaw, I'm so glad to hear your voice, I love your tutorials ♥️♥️ well done
Hellooo dear Kehilwe!! How wonderful to have you here!! It's SO kind of you to say that... I hope we can share more of them together xxx 💌🧡💗
Thank you so much for the awesome tutorial, printables and links. Best instruction video ever!
Wow... that is high praise... you are so welcome! 💗😘
I'm delighted when people find my tutorials/printables/links useful... yaaay! Thank you so much for your feedback 👏🏼👏🏼💗
I wanted to build a library themed book nook for my bookshelf and I finally found free templates and a tutorial ! Thank you
Yaaay.... I'm so happy for you then! It's a win, win 😊😊❤ !! Enjoy creating them 🧡
I can’t find the link to the printable help please
@@monryan6924 hi! The link is in the video description (below the video). I hope you come right!
@@monryan6924 hi, please look below the video (in the description). The links are there. I hope you come right!
Absolutely amazing. Little authentics jewels. Thank you very much for your contribution.
It's so nice of you, Nono 😊, I'm glad you enjoyed them!
Amazing amazing amazing
Thank you so much Maria! 😘💗
Thank you for all the fantastic little details shared.
It's my pleasure... enjoy making them! 😊♥️
What a wonderful video! Thank you for sharing. Love these.
Wow, thank you for those lovely words... you are so welcome! 😘💗📚.
These are wonderful! I'm looking forward to Part 2!
Absolutely superb!! I have watched several videos of making miniature books, but these have got to be some of the most detailed and great quality. Not only did you include beautiful internal pages rather than just plain ones, but also the end leaves which look beautiful!! I would love to see other projects :)
Wow, thank you John! Your words are kind... I appreciate your support 💗💗. I'm really glad if my printables helped you...
Those small DETAILS make all the difference, don't they? For miniaturists, they are everything 😊.
I am busy with my next projects... they are coming! 😃😃
Something like this would be a perfect edition to a library book nook diorama. However scaling it down even smaller to fit into a book nook would be even more fiddly than this! But I think it would be so worth it!
Yeah, they'd look super in a book nook... so little time to do everything I want to! 💗📔📕
Totally mesmerizing. Can't wait to see the rest of the process. Thank you for offering the printables. They"re gorgeous.
You are SO welcome, Lori!! I battled to find suitable medieval printables, so I decided to rather create my own... I'm glad I did! Thanks for the comment xxx
Can't wait for part two
Thank you Diana💗, it's on it's way... literally editing day and night!!
Hi Irene, I'm so mesmerized, this is so creative and exciting to watch. Beautiful work, I really enjoyed your video, creative content 🙏🏾💕
Suggestion for gilding the edges faster: tap the face to gild on a pad of gold stamping ink!
Hi April... thank you SO MUCH for that suggestion!💗😘 I did not even know about gold stamping ink... what a beautiful idea! YESSSS... definitely faster!
Enjoyable video...I love watching different styles, just beautiful!
Thank you kindly!!! 😘😊
Thank for you help Irene, the prints came out perfect now!
Fantastic... I am so glad, and you are so welcome!! 💗💗📕
I'm absolutely in love!
Thank you! 😊💗💗💗
Thank you very, very much!
You are so welcome, Pat... so glad you like them! 💗💗📗📔📕
Just amazing books. I will try to make them but am also impressed by your kindness to share. Many many thanks!
My pleasure, Linda😊... I have enjoyed making these little treasures, and the videos! 📕📔💗
Craftmanship and artistry. You make creating these absolutely accessible. Thank you!
Karla... wow, those are SUCH kind words... thank you! 💗💗
I'm so glad you feel that creating these little books is possible for anyone... because that was my whole goal... it makes my heart very happy 🥰🥰💗
Thank you again! ❤️❤️❤️
I bought your beautiful pages. Thank you
What a beautiful profile name you have... 🦌🐦🌲🌳

These are so cute! I’ve just started doing miniatures and I didn’t realize how expensive everything is. So thank you so much for this. You are so talented.
You are so welcome!! I'm glad you found it helpful!! ❤️👏🏻 📖 📕
@@ladyminiac I’m bipolar and don’t get out much except for family visits. My grandkids are my life and when she suggested this hobby I thought it would be something to make my kids proud of me. It’s something that makes me feel productive again.
I'm sorry that it's difficult to handle people, situations... I truly understand.
This hobby has THE FRIENDLIEST, most supportive people... no one judges any other person's creations, they only praise and help! Keep crafting, keep creating and expressing from that secret place within yourself. You will be a mini-ac!
Thank you so much for sharing. They're beautiful!
Bless you for making these free! I love them and can’t wait to get started! 🥰
I'm so thrilled that you like them, Mae! I hope you have incredible fun making them too!! 📚📕💗
These books are so beautiful, Your video just popped up on youtube when I was browsing and I just had to have a look and now I´m in love with them and will probably have to make them LOL thank you for sharing and thank you for the magical freebee to make these. Hugs all the way from Iceland and from a new subbie.
Hello Tora! What a lovely name 🌺 and what a wonderful email!
Lol😊 ... 💗 first having a look, then falling in love and now maybe even creating some mini treasures of your own! And you even subscribed... all the way from Iceland! ❤️❤️
It is my greatest pleasure to chat with people like yourself... THANK YOU for your support!! 💗💗💗
@@ladyminiac Thank you 😘 I did go and grabbed the freebies and then I bought the text pages so I do not have any excuse for not making these adorable mini bookds 🤩
oh much much better than my first attempts
Hi, and thank you! 😊
As long as we keep creating... that's what always matters! 💗🎨 You should've seen my first attempts!! 🙈
I'm speechless.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video 💗👏🏼📖📕🤗
Amazingly adorable miniature medieval books love it and thank you for sharing this video and printables 🤗
Hello Agnes, thank you! I love that you love those little books too! They captivate us... they make us step inside a magical world... 💗📕📚😊

Yes, there is definitely more to come... life is getting in the way at the moment, but it WILL come 😊!
Wow Irene, this is truly amazing!!!! Well done, your hard work has finally paid off.
Thank you so much for your support Elmarie! It has certainly been a journey... !!
Thank you SO much for sharing your skill with us, I'm in awe of your attention to detail with these little books. And thank you for sharing the papers with us! I'm inspired to make some as a gentle task to do in the evenings when watching TV programmes which have been chosen by a significant other . . . . GLUE THE TEXT BLOCK FIRST - I won't forget
Jacky, you are so funny... yeah, I'm also obliged to watch more 'man shows' than I can bear!
Oh no... I hope you didn't attach the spines before you glued the text blocks! Definitely do that first :) !!
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad I could help even one person with the printables!
Wow I’m going to make one of those little books
Hi Sherlyn... I hope so! You can make many more than just one! Thanks so much xx
Thank you so much. This is exactly what I was looking for and more. I am making a miniature apothecary and they will fit right on the shelves. Love the printable and the instructions were so clear. I hope you are planning on more tutorials.
Wow, Mona... that sounds really exciting and whimsical ♥️🧡... I'm so glad my tutorials can help you 👏🏻. I've really just started out, but yes, I do plan on making more tutorials! ☺☺
Magical! Just beautiful 😍❤
What a superbly detailed tutorial. Thank you so much for this and the printable too.
You are so welcome Ann 😊 ... I am SO glad it was helpful to you! 💗💗
Enjoy creating them! 📕📖
I was watching another video from another channel, the mobile phone slipped in my hands, and this video started instead. Wow, how lucky am I! Great video!
Edit: Oh, the irony. I just realised that since I haven't got a printer, I'll have to go to the library and use theirs...😂
Hello Karin!! What a wonderful comment to receive... I had such a giggle! 💗😊😊 I'm so glad your phone/finger slipped, otherwise we wouldn't have met! Thank you for the kind comments 🌸
I'm so happy you're eager to create the little books, even though you don't have a printer!! 😊
Yeah, my own printer is pretty useless for good printing, so I take all my work to a specialist print shop... that gives me much better results!
I really hope you come right, and that you have lots of fun!
Love, Irene xxx 💗

So happy to have your channel recommended. Your work is fantastic, just what I like, and I'm so looking forward to more videos.
Yes I agree with you and if you like this sort of art work in miniatures you definitely should also watch the UA-cam channel called Thicket Works !

New subscriber here Milady Miniac : looking forward to watch more videos with your art work on medieval and also dark GOTHIC miniatures as well as your dioramas, room boxes, book nooks, doll houses, Pepper's ghosts, infinite mirror illusions and frozen scenes (and by the way I love all the books)
M'lord Filipe, you make me chortle 😄😄... and thank you for joining this Medieval tribe!!
I most certainly cannot envisage fulfilling your ambitious dreams any time soon! As you know, I have only just begun my journey, and am frequently overwhelmed... but I will certainly try to create some superb Medieval-style ancient treasures!💗💝 Thank you for your support 😃
I just LOVE your double sided printables !! will you be making others? They are fantastic and I love how you do your videos !
Hi Jodi! I love that you love the printables... and the videos! I don't think I'll be making more printables soon, these were specifically for my Medieval manuscripts. But, I'll certainly be offering other delights going forward ☺☺ ! Thank you very much!
amazing!
Thanks Safire Rose (what a lovely name)! 💗💗
This is a great tutorial, just wondering is there going to be a part 2?
Keep up the great work
Hi Moe... oh absolutely! I have finished the filming, I am currently busy with the editing of Part 2 (brass fittings, clasps and chains). There is also Part 3 which shows how I embellish the books with gold heat embossing and gems xxx
Hermoso gracias
¡Es un gran placer! 💗😘
Cool
Thank you Peter! 💗😊
These are so lovely and I was excited to get freebies, but I never found freebie book pages.
Hello Chris... thank you so much! 💗💗🤗
The free printables include 18 mini book covers as well as the end papers to line them with.
The mini book pages (Medieval Manuscripts or Illuminated Bible pages) are available in my shop. The links to the free printables can be found in the product description of either of them.
I hope this helps... thanks 😊
Irene xxx
so the pages aren't freebies.@@ladyminiac
Hi Chris,
No... the mini book pages are not free, only the book covers and end papers are 😊 xxx
So cute anyway. Thank you@@ladyminiac
No problem, thank you Chris! 💗🤗
thank you so muts, there are beautiful
You are so welcome, thank you Petra 😊
I made some 1:12 scale books with blank pages then slightly sanded them then used a dark antique furniture wax on them and they looked good but I didn't do the rounded spines. Next time!
Hi Stephanie! How clever that is... sanding and adding wax!!💗💗
I love how people use their own amazing techniques to age and give character!
Yes, I hope there's a next time 😊😊
Beautiful
Thank you!!! 😊
@@ladyminiac haces un bello trabajo. estamos deseando ver la segunda parte
@@tallerdeilusion4847 👏🏻 thanks again! It should be out next week ❤
I have just found you, and your books are absolutely marvellous. I don't know how to print them out though. I'm new to crafting. 🙂
Welcome Alison! 🥰 I'm so glad you like them 💗💗
I don't know if I understand you correctly though... do you mean you can't download them, or can't print them?
Firstly, download / save the files onto your computer desktop or folder.
I try to explain as much as possible about the printing on the first video (Part1). The trickiest part is to print the back-to-back pages as accurately as possible. My own home printer is not great, so I save the printables on a USB stick and take it to a specialist printing shop. Their printing is so much better than mine, and they have a printer that can print on the front and back of a single sheet.
If your home printer quality is fine, print 16 pages (one-sided), then turn them over inside the printer tray (check the direction they need to face first!) and print another 16 pages (on the back). That should do the trick!
I hope that answers your question and that you come right, Alison! 💗💗😊📕📖
🤩🤩 Vielen Dank😘
Es ist eine große Freude 😘💗
This was so exciting to watch and I can't wait to have a go. Is the clear aerosol lacquer gloss or matt please as I need to buy some (and is it specific to craft making as car painting come up when I search online.) Thanks so much for creating this and I'm so looking forward to part 2.
Hi Sandra, thanks so much! The clear lacquer I used is gloss, I should have mentioned, sorry. Mine is a general lacquer, (not specific to craft making) but I suppose if you have the choice, craft lacquer would be the safe bet for you. I hope this helps!
Thank you very much 😄
You're so welcome, Iseult 😊
Wow I can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers, this video was great!
Thank you so much Saima! Although my journey has only newly started, I dream nonetheless!
