This is my favourite style! I think of it as "delight yourself" :) It's so interesting to hear you explore it :)
Yay, thank you! It really is “delight yourself” - I like that! Thanks for watching Jenan!
Kathleen: super! I love this style. It’s one of my favorite ways of doing things. Carol from California
Thank you Carol!
I love the way you took the time to explain what I simply trust my eye with. I don’t think I could have ever articulated it the way you have done.
Dawn, you are such an encourager to me - thank you so much for your steady support.
@@BeAgainBooks My pleasure, Friend!
Hi Kathleen! I wasn’t sure about Eclectic but, I can see that I really enjoy this style too. You explain things so well. I really love how you have put this journal together. Thank you so much. I had eye surgery yesterday so please excuse my typos. I’m looking forward to seeing the next video. Have a blessed day! ❤️🌷🌸💕🌸🩷🤗
Oh gosh Selina! I hope you are recovering quickly now and will see better and better. Thanks so much for watching!
Eclectic style is one of my favorites
I really is a lot of fun! Thanks for coming by Dawn!
One of my favorite styles of journals Kathleen! I wonder why I haven't really made any. Now you are inspiring me to start gathering things for one.🥰🥰
They are fun to make aren’t they! I’m hoping you will do an eclectic journal Nancy - I would love to see it.
I am so happy that you did this video because I have been looking for junk Journal ideas to explain my style.
So happy to help Gail! Thanks for watching!
Eclectic never even crossed my mind as a journal style. Yes I need to get out more! 🤪😂 Looking forward to following you along the process and seeing the end result. 🤩
You remind me that we are often in a fairly narrow experience bubble, haha! I think we all are, so I’m really happy to expand yours, Marie! 🤣 Thank you so much for spending time with me!
Looks like a fun project. Love some of your paper choices.
Oh thanks CP! Thanks for watching.
Yesss eclectic is so my style lol sometimes I am less deliberate in my choosings though. I just like EVERYTHING and that is my problem. Sometimes it goes together and sometimes it doesn’t but I want all the things in my journals. Looking forward to seeing more!!
Thank you Brittany! Go for it!
Wow, great finds Diane. The bottle caps were my favorite. I wish my flea market had low prices. Love your channel.
Thanks for coming by, Sharon - I’m thinking you meant to say hello to Diane Hubert? I just watched her video too and also love her channel! But, I’m also glad you visit me as well!
Thanks for doing these style videos. I am learning a lot from them.
Oh I am so glad to hear it Andrea! Thanks so much!
Thank you so much. I do have a box where I collect items that I like and I had no idea how to incorporate in my journals. You have given me an idea where to start. Thanks again.
That makes me happy Mary! Have fun!
I love this series - I am learning from you - thanks for sharing 😊
Yay! Thanks so much Marie!
You explained your color process so well. It gave me a lot of ideas.
Thanks very much Johanna! I’m glad to hear this.
Hi Kathleen. Kudos to you for taking on defining eclectic style. Kind of like trying to nail Jello to a tree, isn't it? I really like the way you do your mood boards, which are very helpful in visualizing the styles. For me, eclectic includes an element of surprise--combining things that don't seem to go together but look good when it's done. Also, I think contrast is important (I think you mentioned that) in color, texture, and line--a lot of the things that are important in many styles, but maybe exaggerated in eclectic style. Thanks so much for doing this series. I find it so interesting and helpful.
Great insights Linda! I agree completely and yes, it’s a bit difficult to explain, haha. But so much fun. It’s a much more “feeling” style, isn’t it? For me, there is not a clear picture in my head…just playing around until it looks good.
@@BeAgainBooks I love that “playing around until it looks good.” That’s mostly the way I work anyway.
This is going to be such a fun journal 🤩
It is turning out to be so, Davina! Thanks so much for following along!
I have to say all my journals are eclectic. The ones that have a theme are the Golden Books. I enjoyed your explanations.
Thanks for your thoughts Kristi! Eclectic is so fun, right? I’m glad you stopped by!
Thanks so much for explaining what it means "deliberate " in style so interesting,,makes more sense now ,love the color scheme also ,will be watching for next video ,thanks again,Teresa in Mn
My pleasure Teresa! I’m glad you are joining in on this! Thanks for watching.
Love this. As always I learn from you! This is a beautiful journal.
Yay! I’m happy about that Dorothy! Thank you!
Eclectic is one of my favorite styles. Thanks for defining and outlining this style. I know it’s open but with meaning 😊. Love the cover. I had my fingers crossed when you cut away and the paisley was by far my favorite. lol
I’m ready to see where you go next with texture, pattern?? The atlas page is a favorite too. Xxx
Me too Lisa, it really is a lot of fun. More videos coming. Thanks for hanging in with me.
This is me!
Eclectic elegance in home decor, clothing style, and art creations. 🥰
Yes, I think you are Tomi! I’m glad you love what you do!
Love the definition of eclectic… make yourself happy
May as well, haha! Thanks for coming by Nana!
beautifully put together... thanks
Thank you so much!
Love this ❤ really dont understand eclectic so this will help me. Thank you for sharing
I hope it will Sioned! Thanks so much for following along!
I love when you used the phrase 'beautifully random' and then also deliberate - it does confirm that what I believe about my own style - that it is eclectic! But then of course I can do other styles to suit the purpose of the journal 😍 I was secretly hoping you were going to choose the cover material with the pattern that looked like a chicken head?? Not sure what it was was though but looked cool! I look forward to your video on mixing patterns as I have always wondered if there were any 'rules' / guidance around that - thanks Kathleen!
My pleasure Gemma! I am not at all surprised that you like an eclectic style! I wanted to use that piece of linen and yes, it was a chicken! But I wanted to use wet glue and I was afraid it would glop and ooze, haha. Another time!
❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for all the watchtime Karen! You are a peach!
i think Im a mix of mish mash and eclectic.... sometimes random takes over and nothing coordinates or matches. thanks for the clear definition of eclectic! hugs
Well that happens to all of us Bonnie - when the project just kind of takes over, haha! Thanks for coming by!
Hi, Kathleen. I just happened across your channel today and was interested in what you had to say about the eclectic style.
I wasn't sure how to explain it but I think you did an excellent job.
I'll be watching the series for sure.
TFS❤
Thanks very much Teresa! Welcome!
❤
Thank you Regena!
Thank you, Kathleen. This style will be really interesting to watch develop as it’s one that I struggle to define. You have already provided valuable information on the topic! I look forward to seeing what you use to create pockets and tucks and then the journaling pieces. You are relying on colour as a co-ordinating factor. Is that a true statement? 😀💞
You are so welcome Keryn! Thanks for watching this morning. I usually rely on color to unify things - it’s kind of a fall back, I guess 😁 In the absence of a theme of some kind, color is really the easiest way to harmonize everything. But the unique thing about a successful eclectic style is that the very act of putting all kinds of disparate items together makes a kind of whole in subtle ways that I don’t really understand. It seems to be in the eye of the artist. Some people are just really good at it, you know?
Yummy!
Thank you!
Ooh how about embossing and sanding paint chips! You can find the right orange one
Great suggestion, haha! I’ll take it! Thanks for watching.
@@BeAgainBooks your sanding idea totally changed my use of glossy paper
@@dragondazdshadowwings34 Well, I am so glad to hear this! It’s one of my favorite things, for sure. Remember to protect your lungs if you do it much! Ventilate or wear a mask.
I love how you combine everything together to make it look cohesive!! I’m still new to the JJ world and I have one question , how did you attach the large orange envelope as a single page? Thanks for you help!😊
Thank you Sherry! I appreciate that. About the envelope - I carefully opened it up so that it sewed in as an open page into the center of the signature, then glued it shut again - around the binding string. Thanks for watching.
😊
Thank you so much!
I have found i favor this style best. Can you share the sheet you were reading from please? Thank you ❤❤😊😊 This is most helpful 😊
I’m sorry Virginia - I don’t have a great way to share a document that doesn’t have me babysitting the link for years. I will just ask you to take a screenshot if you can and then you will have a reference. Thanks so much for watching!
@@BeAgainBooks Ok will do. Thank you 😊

Thanks very much!

Thanks so much Karen!
