    Junk journal wellcome! Thank you for this idea. I too look those videos and find them inspiring. I especially like the idea of using things which come to my house and are normally trash. Normally the junk journal community is a little bit too messy and too vintagy for my taste. Your combination with nature journaling is the perfect fit and looks great. I love it. Please do more. For example I have lots and lots of playing card like cards from escape room plays. And I don't like to throw them away. They should be used because they are sturdy and all the same size. But how?

      Thanks for watching! Adding recycled materials into a nature journal seems like a perfect fit. Your playing cards could be perfect for pockets or attaching dried flowers or plant materials to… maybe paint them first with a white gesso for the background. Sounds like a fun time to experiment with them😊 Thanks again!

    I love the details you give on the specimen's you journal and suggest to write about for the viewer. This can certainly be amazing like this example of the sweet gum's tiny seeds and the mature heights of the tree. I am truly an admirer of your art. Thank you!

    My Nature Diaries is my all time favourite YT platform. I have learned a heap and get a lot of enjoyment from watching. It has created a new awareness of what is growing wherever I happen to be. The wild flowers in South Africa are of course different so I have a lot fo learn. Thank you so much ❤

    This is a wonderful idea and so helpful for those of us who love nature, who love chronicling nature but who aren’t great artists (yet)! Adding natural materials adds so much beauty to the page. Thank you!

      So glad you liked it and yes…I am trying to share “no drawing skills required” so more people can nature journal. I love the idea of combining paintings with the mixed media ones. Thanks for watching and commenting 😄!

    Thank You so Much for these videos! Your artwork is AMAZING! I love the shadows that you add to the paintings in your sketchbook! They give such a three D effect! These pockets are so simple, but something that I would never have thought of doing myself! You have been inspiring me to go out and explore my world again! Thank You again.!

      Sounds perfect! I love the idea of being able to see the pressed plants against the light…gives a totally different perspective. Thanks for watching 😊
