    You know what it’s like to watch your tutorials? It’s like we’re all sitting at the same table WITH you. Also, I like that you share your thought process out loud, even when you make a mistake or change your mind about something. You don’t edit it out. ❤️❤️❤️ You’re so genuine.

    I love the addition of the little paint brush. It’s amazing how dimensional components in art project can affect the overall design. Beautiful ❤

    This old book cover is perfect for a Journal. It’s just beautiful. I’m glad you didn’t cover it up. Also, I thought using the paint brush was genius. It looked so good. But when you added the wire, that just helped it jump off the page. This was so fun to watch. Thank you!♥️♥️♥️

    I love using "found objects" on my artwork. The brush is so cool. Your little stories around your photos are so funny. Artist sisters is such a great scenario.

    Hello Barbara, wow that's amazing, thank you so much for sharing it with us. I really love grungy journals, and this is beautiful. You are so clever. I love it when you say things in German, it's a lovely language. I'm from the UK. Take care, and have a wonderful week ahead. I've been dying paper today, with avacado skins. It amazes me that pages turn out a gorgeous shade of pink. Take care xx❤❤❤😊😊

    Ooh I love making grungy books. The old German text is gorgeous 😍. I bet they'd never have dreamed they'd be immortalised like this! Yes it does print darker. I do overplan and then change as I go 🙈. Oh, the glove is on lol. Cool idea with the re-inker! Lol messy is inevitable🙊. It's a really cool way to use the brush, something else to not throw away😄. Yes, the gold is definitely your trademark. Love this cover 😍😍😍. Tfs and have a great day 💖💖💖

    I absolutely love this cover. Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new. I have something that might be new for you too. Art Glitter Glue will hold almost anything. If I was making this cover, I would have glued the paintbrush on with Art Glitter Glue and it wouldn’t be going anywhere, ever. Also, instead of using the Brad as an actual Brad, I cut off the metal wings with the little wire cutter you use. Then I glue the Brad head to the label holder with Art Glitter Glue and also glue the label holder to the paper with the glue too. This way there isn’t any need to poke holes. I promise this glue will hold metal forever. Even bigger pieces of metal than this. I’ve been using this glue for years and I haven’t had a piece of metal, wood, plastic etc. come off.

    Hi Barbara, It's me again, from Missouri in the USA. I have to thank you for these videos. I did not think I was fond of the grunge look, but as I keep watching you work in it, it is growing on me. I guess, I do not really understand the context or purpose of Grunge. Subsequently, I will be doing further research into this genre. So, that's why I am thanking as you've tweaked my curiosity and thus my learning. Take care and be safe.
