Wow, just WOW, your BoS is absolutely beautiful, I LOVE it, your handwritting and drawings are stunning, I have never seen a book so beautiful, I wish I was as artistic as you and could try recreate, I am in awe of your talent :) May I ask what type of paper you used, have you stained it? I really cannot get over how beautiful this is....TFS :)
I used A4 sized paper I got at a bookshop that also sells pens and ink and such. It was 80 gram paper I think. I don't use this book anymore (gave it to my little witchling) and started a bigger book. You can follow that proces on my new channel WrenCalder. Here's a link to my newest video ua-cam.com/video/u_C470mkxRQ/v-deo.html
This is the BEST book of shadows I've ever seen! I love love love the handwriting and the detail! How long do you think that took you? I am going to do the same, find a font I like and practice and use that! Much nicer that way! I love the set up of your book! You should make those books (blank of course) and make an Etsy.com shop and sell them! I love the paper too! Are you thinking about decorating the front?
Nah, it'll be a work in progress till the day I die. Then my daughter will have it. I'm of the oppinion that a BoS is never finished. That's why I have a post-bound one
+Shears of Fate I use something that is called ecoline in Dutch. I don't know what it's called in English, but it is some kind of coloured ink. Also I use a golden sharpie for the gold accents.
Well, I draw the big letters, and write everything in pencil, so I can erase any mistakes. I've just printed stacks of different fonts and pick whichever I want to use and copy them. So no printed texts in there :-D
I am also dutch and I wonder what paper you use. I am using printerpaper but everything leaks through it so I am not working in my book anymore because I want to be able to use both sides off the paper.I love your book and wish I could draw like that.Thank you for posting this video.
+Dyannah I'm using printerpaper as well, but the usual printerpaper is 80 grams and I use 100 grams. This doesn't bleed through. You can get this sort of paper in any hobby shops.
+Liva tesselaar thank you for the information. i am still debating if i want my new book to be bound or postbound, i think i will try both. your book is an inspiration.
+Dyannah Both have their advantages. Right now I use a post bound book. It's as far as I've ever written in a Book of Shadows. I like the fact that I've made it myself and given it my energy. It's still my dream to once own a really large tome, like you sometimes see on UA-cam, but those cost hundreds of pounds. I couldn't find the heavy A3 paper, so in the end I used A4. Maybe some day when this one is full...
You had tried below but never posted it...Can you please tell us the name of the fonts that you use for the titles and for writing? Thank you so much! Your BoS is the most beautiful I have ever seen. Blessed be!
I know the font that Pirate Forever uses is called Jacoba or Renaissance, but this isn't what you use for your titles. I have looked and looked and can't find it. Can you please tell me the name of the font? I love it!
Hi, I have no idea what it's called. I've found it on the internet once and saved it on the computer. I could send it to you if you give me your email address? Or I'm planning on showing my new project (a bigger BoS) in about two weeks and I could show the picture of the font in there?
WOw. You are really skilled at drawing and putting together such a beautiful BOS. "Liked" your video and look fwd to more on your channel.

I started this book in May 2015. It's probably never going to finish 😁

what a beautiful book, I love your art. What do you use to colour with?
+Shears of Fate I use something that is called ecoline in Dutch. I don't know what it's called in English, but it is some kind of coloured ink. Also I use a golden sharpie for the gold accents.
Gold sharpie! Great idea! There's silver too! I'll have to remember that! You are extremely talented!!
Awww thanks
Gorgeous book! I love the lettering! Did you tea stain the pages? great artwork as well!!
yes, I tea-stained the edges of the pages.
Did you handwrite the lettering it's beautiful penmanship!
Well, I draw the big letters, and write everything in pencil, so I can erase any mistakes. I've just printed stacks of different fonts and pick whichever I want to use and copy them. So no printed texts in there :-D
Thank you
i really like the way you write the headings, did you use a specific font or something? i would like to find a similar font.
I found it on the internet ages ago. It was a picture with the entire alphabet. I'll check if I can put it in a comment as soon as I'm on a computer.
oh
I can't include it in a message here on youtube. Sorry. Maybe I could send it through facebook?
it will be awesome! You can find me on facebook as Giorgia Farano (Il fuso della strega).
You are very king, thank you a lot!
Can you sent it to me as well too, please? My name is Syrai Ravenwynd. Thank you!
What coloring book did you get the pictures from for the Celtic artwork?
I've got so many. I could show them in a next video if you like, but that will be on my new channel called WrenCalder.

I draw from examples. It's easy that way. And then I colour them in with ink.
