Personally, if someone asks “what’s the point” they are probably not the kind of person that would “get it” even if you explained it to them. When I was a kid, I was horse crazy (still am) and someone gave me some horse magazines. I went through them and cut out all the horses that appealed to me and put them in a composition notebook. I’m going to be 67 on the 27th and I still REALLY enjoy cutting out images that appeal to me, that have some relationship to each other and words added that reveal what I feel about the images. It doesn’t matter if no one else gets it…I do, I love doing it and that’s all that matters.
When I went to Italy in October, walked into a very expensive art museum and what did I see? Amazing collage art! So don’t ever let anyone tell you collage, art is a waste of time. Have fun and create 😊
Hi Nicole! I just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful idea you gave me! I am a Scoutmaster for a girls troop in Scouting America (formerly known as the Boy Scouts of America), and we have a christmas party coming up at the end of the month, where we stay all night, eat foods that are bad for us, play music, make crafts and do whatever the girls feel like doing! The girls always have a secret santa where they exchange gifts with each other, and then the adult leaders bring a gift for each of the scouts. I have been struggling with what I wanted to do for them this year. Everyone always seems to give them things that are scouting related, which is fine. But I wanted to do something different this year. These girls don't just go to school everyday. Some are commited to marching band, symphonic band and jazz band. One is on the boys football team, one is a cheerleader, and one is in FFA (future farmers of america) as well as a couple of other youth organizations. And they are commited to earning their Eagle Rank in Scouting! They are all very sweet and work very hard! This year my idea might end up seeming silly to them at first, but I want to give them some encouragement to take a moment to destress and take some time to themselves and show that they can maybe do that by creating their own fantasy world through a glue book! So the idea I have, that you gave me, is getting each of them a composition book, a teen magazine and maybe a foodie or garden magazine, some glue and fussy cut scissors, and maybe even some colored get pens! Everything they need to get them started! What do you think? Sorry this is so long, I get to talking about my girls and I can't shut up! Much thanks to you! I love your videos and I love your personality and the energy you put into everything you do here!🤗💖💖💖
Yes, glue books/collages are visual journals. I have made my planners glue books/collages with my plans, thoughts, reflections, etc. it’s just great to go back and look at how far you have changed and your skills have developed. I don’t cut out images out ahead of time because I enjoy going through books, magazines, etc. and browsing. Your UA-cam channel and Facebook page are wonderful places to be. Thank you.❤️❤️❤️
There's a saying, "art for art's sake". It means you don't have to have a reason to do it. But I also suffer from Anxiety Disorder and Depression, and I enjoy keeping my hands and mind occupied. It's just another form of therapy. So I think it's great for me and I really don't care what anyone body else thinks.
I agree Nicole; but I find that as a newer paper crafter, but long time seamstress; it is a journey into another side of my Craft. I find that as I paper craft i get better and better; especially from watching your videos. Its a form of, accomplisment; much like when i finish a garment!! Keep doing what you are doing!!🎉🎉
I love your Random glue books. I get happy when I see one of them show up! :) Speaking of happy....when you cracked yourself up (no pun intended) I got the giggles so much I had tears. Your laugh is fantastic.
I really need this!! I have anxiety issues and seasonal affective disorder so when I want to craft I don't want to stress over it. In the last year I've bought a LOT of craft supplies but I always feel I don't have a good enough reason to use them. I hope this will help me to get going without having some major plan. I just got my twinchie book from Amazon. Thanks for all the inspo !
I agree with the way you organize Nicole. I had an elaborate sorting and organizing by category and quickly realized it canceled my creativity. Sooooo, I pulled everything out and now do it the way you do. I have an additional basket for stickers. I've always sorted by category, but size, square, and fussy works way better for me now. I've only been doing this craft for a year, and I find that just letting it slowly evolve, both the craft and the sorting works best for me.
Hi Nicole...first time commenting here. Never gave glue booking much thought as I do mixed media and such..but another UA-camr mentioned you and I gave your video a try....several months ago😁Been watching ever since. So now what do I do? Fussy cut while watching tv...stopping by the library for old issues and buying the 2" grid notebook! Love watching your videos...your composition is absolutely amazing and I've learned so much from you. So THANK YOU!❤ As for those who ask 'what's the point?' I have to agree with another viewer ...they'll never get it😆 But we all do!
@@katel3709 awww this made my day!!!! Thank you so much for telling me this!!! Glue Books are so much fun, I just love them so much!! I actually had a snarky remark about people who say to me “what is the point” but I decided to cut that part out and play nice lol!!!
You're reading my mind Nicole lol. I've been saving my images by category and it's just not working. You're right, I have to think of what I want to put down and then go find it. Much easier your way. Thanks so much!!
Hahhahahahhahahhahaa! I'm such a goober! Jackson walked in while I was editing and said "Is it weird that you're just by yourself laughing hysterically and cracking jokes?" I told him that at this point i'm just used to it hahahhahaa!
🍎🔎😂 I laugh every time that page pops up! I have yet to finish a glue book because you keep coming up with great ideas...and I wanna do them all. 😊❤ Love the statue page and the lady dreaming of cake. TFS❤
Thank you Michelle!! The statue page made me so happy! I've had all those elements in my stash for some time, so it felt good to put them all together!🐸
Great answer regarding why you glue book and what to do with them, Nicole. I can't imagine throwing them away😢😢😢😢 Thanks for the entertainment today😊😊😊
So enjoyed your video today, your answers to questions were very helpful and your sense of humour always makes me laugh 😂. I love gluebooking as like you it relaxes and calms my mind especially if I’m feeling anxious or stressed and I think my gluebooks are definitely visual journals as sometimes what images I use are a reflection of what I’m feeling or hoping for. And another great thing your videos are always a stress reliever too Nicole so always a huge thank you
Lol that butt thing really did crack me up . I love glue booking ,always have several on the go at the same time ,i do them for me and my mental health and often i am gluing in the middle of the night when sleep is just not happening . I always keep all my books and love to go back over them ,i love to see how my styles have changed over time .I love harvesting and fussy cutting and when i put a page together i often find myself making up a story .Another great video nicole
Thank you so much Rita!! Glue Books are just amazing aren't they? They are fun, relaxing, a great way to express yourself...and I love that people of all ages, & all levels of artist ability can do it. Everyone can be included!
Hey Nicole, I’m an Aussie and I would love for you to put the sunnies on the koala…… so cute!! Love your work and following you. Cheers from Sydney, Australia 🤗🇦🇺❤️
You cracked me up. I like to keep my glue books and junk journals. When I look at them a few years later I can see that my style had change. Picking up new ideas from other people. And that's the fun of it.
I agree Daniele! It's really fun to look back at your past work. Sometimes I forget about some of the art I have done until I see it, and it's so cool!
We recently stayed at a swanky hotel in Chicago. I remarked how much I like the style when we were in the lobby. My 12 year old daughter said she hated it because it looked like my gluebook. Love your style!
Isn't it fascinating how our brains start seeing glue book composition and images in things we see out and about?! I love that!! 12 yr olds are hard to impress aren't they?
I saw a “what’s the point?” Comment on one of your recent videos and I was thiiiiiis 🤏🏻 close to leaving a snarky reply to it lol but I held myself back. I really can’t stand the “what’s the point” mentality, as if something isn’t valid unless it has more of a point than just - it’s fun, enjoyable, and I like it! People think things aren’t worth doing unless they’re making you money or something. If you do something for enjoyment and only enjoyment, people think it’s pointless and non essential. It’s a sad way to go about life. Life is meant to be enjoyed! Anyway, I just had to rant about that lol. Great video as always Nicole! 💖
I have been watching your videos for a long time. I love you and your videos so much. I have been collecting magazines and harvested them. I have so many now and I am going to create "starter" gluebook kits and put on Etsy for those who want to start but don't know how or don't have the magazine resources. If it would be OK, I would like to send one to you.
Thank you for watching my videos for so long Kellie!! I appreciate you! I think your idea of a starter glue book kit is fantastic!! I love that! I would love to receive one and share your Etsy shop with everyone! Thank you so much for offering, you are so kind!
Hey Nicole….great pages and answers today. For the page where the girl isn’t all the way to the bottom, put some washi tape, or a paint marker and color the line….just a thought. I think it would be fun with a finished book to make a list of random items throughout the book, then people can look for those items. By the way, your favorite page today is also my fave…..I laughed right along with you….I had to cut her butt off cause it had a crack in it!
@@marshakopeika9671 hahahhaha YES!!! Jackson just asked me this afternoon if it’s weird that I sit in my craft room and talk to myself and laugh at my own jokes! I said that it was weird at first but now I’m used to it, and as for the laughing at my own jokes….come on now! Sometimes I’m just too funny and I crack myself up! 🤣
