    Miss Natasa you are my absolute favorite journal artist, and for good reason! You should do these unplanned projects more often. So much fun to watch it all unfold, hear about your thought processes but best of all I feel it reminds us all to just let go and create. Thank you so much for sharing your genius with us 🌹

    Natasa, I love the way you can piece things together, not only repurposing but also transforming the old everyday things into something new and beautiful. This grunge style is elevated into something unique and stylish, thanks to your signature touch. Thanks for sharing! 😊

    4:43 Those studs.. I also found this name for them on amazon: ‘Four-Jaw Square Rivets’. 17:02 Those crazy tea bag paper inserts on the cover… how unique and creative! That addition of structure to the lotioned/wrinkled/sponge-painted paper bag in the form of a cardstock rectangle… how clever!! As for the ‘hours’ (hours!) that his journal took to complete… Nothing wrong with that from my perspective… Those hours were hours of fun. Totally repeating this whole experiment with the only difference that I am hand-sewing, not machine sewing (way more enjoyable for me). Thanks a lot for all the inspiration!!

    Oh Natasa, can 't erase the smile from my face. It is so much fun to watch you doing this impossible thing of turning a paperbag that looks like having been pulled out of the dustbin ( and enjoying its time there) into something special and unique and, yes, beautyful, while listening to your comments....I love your humor , your videos, especially the crazy ones, and the next paperbag that comes around my place better takes care to be up on the tree before I get it. Wait, I am sure I have seen one?...?..thank you for this idea, and I hope that you will have more of them. Greetings from the other side of the world! Jutta

    You are a genius manipulator of paper to accomplish the end that you desire ... as someone who has the imagination of a gnat, and rarely takes flights of fancy, but I do LOVE paper and mourn every bit of waste I put into trash (especially if one side of the paper has no writing on it! ... watching and listening to you create, manipulate, and produce objects of fascination just gives me moments of thinking outside of my box! I appreciate also how much precision you present. For me, your videos are quite joyful, with so many possibilities!

    Natasa, you were the first I’ve ever watched and you have helped me so much on my JJ journey that I’ve even started a business. All that aside, I am loving this video. Please do more of the fly by the seat of your pants inspiration. I truly enjoyed this so much and love seeing this side of your creativity. - Tabby

    One day the kids grow up and then they don't want to eat cereals anymore. I'm already sad. I like the Cereal box projects.
