I feel like the best projects, or art come from instinct. If I think too much about it, it never turns out as good as just throwing things together. Which is funny, because every other part of my like is 100% planned out!
I love to watch ppl glue in real time...love long videos...but i can understand keeping a video to at least an hour when it comes to glueing. I love composition books to play in...glue in. Glue book I have been working on for a while is nothing but scraps. I find that fun. Anyway have a good one!!😍😍😍
I enjoy the hour-ish videos too! Especially if I feel like I 'know' the person, and they share their lives/thoughts with me. Which is what I try to do, but sometimes I am too busy trying to figure out where to put something to think about what to talk about 😂 Thanks for joining me! It's a lotta fun to meet folks and be creative together 💜
Heading to the studio to see what animal heads I can put with clothes/bodies now. I enjoy watching some people glue book (you were definitely enjoyable).
Yes! I Found a golden retriever in my fussy cuts and was all "oh, I need a body for this lil guy!" 😂 I have been watching a LOT of glue book videos and it is enjoyable! I am glad that I was enjoyable as well, because there will be more glue book videos for sure! TFW! 💜
Another thought... I think of my junk journals ( I have 50+ , way too many) anyway, I think of them as mini coffeetable books. I love to go back thru the older ones and sometimes I don"t recognize my own art. Talk about a weird feeling.
I enjoy watching others gluebooking as well as doing it myself..you were fun to watch and I personally don't mind seeing people put glue onto paper also. I prefer real time, I very rarely speed my videos up but I do edit quite a bit as they get really long.. I try to keep them around an hour but like you said, it's my channel and you watch it or you don't it's up to you...and how you watch it! I love it if people are watching and joining me in creating in any way they choose, feels like we're creating together 😊👍🏻💗
Yes! Sometimes I glue for 2 hours and I am all "no one is going to watch this for 2 hours!" 😂 I also talk very slowly when I am creating, so there's that (I am also southern, so I naturally talk slower too!). I love your glue book vids, too! 💜 TFW! 💞
ME TOO!!! I am trying to pace myself and just do one at a time, so I don't get overwhelmed...but it's hard to not want to just start all of my glue book ideas! lol (and art journal ideas, and mixed media ideas, and junk journal ideas and.... 😂 )
@@TheHalfassCrafter I do get bored with just one so I like having more to choose from but it's getting the new ideas going I find overwhelming I suppose... But I must try🤭🤣🤣❤️
If you only do the right page, you can come back to it and cut it out to use in another collage later. Like " oh I remember a piece in my polka dot gluebook that will fit perfectly in my new collage".
Nice! I have heard the gluing two pages together, thing. I wanted to be a rebel and just try not doing that (i am a halfass crafter, you see 🤣). We’ll see how chunky hunky this thing gets 😂 TFW! 💜
@@TheHalfassCrafter 🤣🤣🤣 I glue the pages just to make them stronger. I also tear out pages cause the book gets real bulky. Happy crafting...cheers, Pattie
Yes! I think when I finish this random book I will start theme books. I am starting to see why folks do a theme page. There are just so many possibilities that you need that constraint. This is so much fun! TFW! 💜
Cycle 21:28 I just love to watch you can't wait to see what your doing I'm glad you aren't voice over over I love you just so real have fun. I did a color o ne that was fun thanks for sharing 😂😂❤
I've started a couple of glue books.....and there's a tiny part of me that can't quite wrap my brain around the whole concept... but there's a bigger part that says - it's paper and cutting and glueing and just enjoy it.... so.... I'll be interested to see how this unfolds with you!
It does sort of have a feeling of "This is it?" I was explaining glue books to my friend last night and she said "But my brain wants to do real art, and that feels too easy!" and I was all "oh, I bet that's my brain too!" But I told her to just do it and keep trying it and it gets silly and do it if it makes you giggle! She liked that advice and said she was going to try it. It's the thing I will do when I can't muster can creativity to get out the real supplies and get busy. 🤷♀️ Creativity is weird sometimes 😂 TFW! 💜
I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around “random” but this video is helping! Thank you! I think im making my pages more of a collage. But I like doing it so I guess that’s ok too. But random feels “freeing” and fun too! Love your videos. And i always end up making up a story to go along with my pages too. It just happens lol😂 I need to go back and watch your paper dolls series because i have been wanting to do those for years and just haven’t started. I love the longer chatty videos too because I like to craft along. 😊
OMG i craft along to your vids all the time! I love them! We have very similar styles of glue booking! I forget to comment because i get wrapped up in what I’m doing and another video just plays 😂 But i am so glad to know youre crafting with me too! 💜 TFW!
@@TheHalfassCrafter yes I forget to comment too a lot! I’ve been trying to make more of a point to here lately! I keep saying I’ll come back to it and then I forget! Lol I’m finally getting more comfortable with the gluebook but the color gluebook has given me fits. But I’m determined to get back to it! Look forward to seeing you around! Did I see that you started a Facebook group?
yes! The Halfass Crafter's Club! You can join us! facebook.com/groups/1228903134420682/ (anyone can join! 💕 ) it's a halfass group, so sometimes it's full of content and sometimes we're really quiet 😂 We are just livin' up to the name of the group, is all! LOL
I have a bunch of Crafters companion magazines I look at once and barely open again. I think I might make a few glue books separating cards from gift box ideas. Maybe I can make a flip book... half cards, flip over, half other. Two start pages, no ending... 🤔. Thanks again for the inspiration Laura! 😊
Oh this comment makes my heart happy 😊 I am so glad you found some inspiration! Just glue stuff down! Make other pretty things you can look at later when you forget about them! 💜 TFW!
What fun Laura! I used to glue book a lot with Nicki (relax,cut,glue) she's hilarious, but also a perfectionist. Ain't no body got time for that, but she has a great playlist. I'm so getting the itch to do some more... Keep it coming, but no voice overs....I hate that. Have a lovely day. xo
I do watch Nicole sometimes! I watched her a lot last year, but still never really did a glue book. She is fun and silly! No voice overs! No one likes 'em 😂 I always think I'll do it, but come on, I don't even like 'em! 😝 TFW! 💜
OH how fun!! It really is a relaxing, chill way to be creative! I worked in that glue book all weekend! I can't wait to work in it after work this week! 😂 I hope you try it! TFW! 💜
I dont watch tattered edges, but man you amuse me. Doing this for future me. Oh and I've got gluing to do. My brother says "I can't I have my own unimportant things to do"
😂 I like your brother's style! 😝 I am glad that you are amused by me...I admit I amuse myself when I am editing these videos...it's just hilarious to try and do art when you are lost 🤣
I found Nicole at Relax, Cut, Glue and she is awesome for glue booking. Inspired me to start a colour glue book. Funnily enough I find I enjoy fussy cutting. Who knew? This was great. Thanks. FYI ... I'm one viewer who doesnt really care for the voice overs.
OH yeah! I've been watching Nicole for a year or so! Fussy cutting can become meditative once I start doing it -- key word is START 😆 You are not the only person who doesn't like voice overs! I don't like them either, actually -- and folks are pretty vocal about not liking them, so I guess I will just blather incessantly at y'all while gluebooking in the future 😂 TFW! 💜
I have been subscribed to Tattered Edges for a couple of years now. I am like you when it comes to the movies, but I enjoy her passion, and, of course she does many other things as well. I think your story teller is Doki Doki Forest, but I know I watch others that tell stories too. I like listening to your style of video because I can craft along. I looked up at your concern for the lady avoiding the fire for example. I agree. It looked like she was hoping that pool in the yard would save her life. This format works well for you. If I ever decided to do a UA-cam channel I would have to do a voiceover. The way my mind works I can only do one thing at a time. While I was crafting you would hear nothing. Not great if someone wants to craft along. While I was talking I would be doing nothing. Seems kind of pointless on a video. I'm not sure why others choose to do voiceovers, but I think it takes a certain skill. I hope others will give the same kind of encouragement to those learning that skill as they do to those new to a craft. But of course everyone will have their preferences. I personally have difficulty with the live streams. I've enjoyed a few of your videos now and have decided to subscribe. I do regularly give thumbs up, and occasional short comments. Sorry if the length of this one was a bit much. Nancy
Awwwww 💕 Thank you for your thoughtful comment, Nancy! And you're right! It is Doki Doki Forest! I just found her a week or so ago, but I subbed so fast! 😆 I even started making stories for my pages too! I just love how we can cross-pollinate creativity across all of our UA-cam channels! I am trying to be a bit more mindful of the talking...I mean, I talk to myself while crafting no matter if there is a recording happening or not! My husband thought I was talking to him the other night! 😂 I was just randomly telling myself how we should put some elements on a page 😝 Thank you for subbing and commenting and I appreciate any thumbs up and/or comments! Just knowing you enjoy my videos is all I need! TFW! 💜
I kept telling the screen "oh wait!! That bloom is a head! That one is hair!" Then "the girl can come out of the pool!" Then "the little lady can come out of the pot!" 😅😅😅😅
OMG YES! I used those pieces separately, but the lady comig out of the pool on the surfboard with the volcano in the back would have been FABULOUS! And the lady on the pot! I put her on the glasses, tho! I need you to yell a bit louder next time, ok? 😂 TFW! 💜
@@TheHalfassCrafter thanks. Your video helped me as someone working on perfectionism and also new to gluebooks. I had started one in a sketchbook- been following Nicole at Relax Cut Glue and was inspired by her with the sketchbook. This week I started a composition book and was hating it. I watched your video and tried not thinking and just grabbing things and gluing and I liked what I came up with. Thanks for the inspiration.
Honest to cheesecake I thought a glue book was like the papers that one had used as a back paper when using a glue stick Hahahaha I mean, and then you decorated it….. Don’t mind me…..
HAHAHAHAHA Those are ALSO called glue books! (at least in my art room) now that you mention it, I think I ask "Where is my glue book, while looking for the book to glue ON so I can glue something IN my glue book 😂 Well, this isn't confusing in the least, is it? 🤣 TFW! 💜
YEP! They are the same! Glue Books are usually just gluing magazine pictures down. So it's a collage with ONLY magazine pages. they are pretty flat. As opposed to say mixed media collage. It's all collaging in some way. Just different versions of it. And glue book helps to identify what type of collage will be done. Hope that helps! TFW! 💜
If you don’t like to vote clover you could always speed up the video and play music with no sound. I like watching the process, don-t care about the chitchat.
I asked about that in another video and the unanimous response was “absolutely not. We love your thought process and chit chat!” 😂 I enjoy chit chatting myself, but sometimes i speed up vids too! Depends on my mood i guess. 🤷🏼♀️😁TFW! 💜
Oh I am obsessed with the gluebooks! And now I am thinking about collage differently and the possibilities are endless (and sometimes hilarious!) TFW! 💜
I feel like the best projects, or art come from instinct. If I think too much about it, it never turns out as good as just throwing things together. Which is funny, because every other part of my like is 100% planned out!
Yes! I like the intuitive creating! But sometimes a plan is warranted too! I am a planner everywhere else too! How funny 😂 TFW! 💜
