Hello my lovely, fellow detailed Illuminator...... I am breathless and speechless with awe!! Wow, Wow, WOW!!! Be still my beating heart. This is spectacular! You are a master at your crafting Maddie, I am blown away by your extraordinary attention to detail. The massive amount of work, time, effort, thought, love, passion, imagination, heart and soul and so much more that went into this is outstandingly remarkable. There is so much to praise you for, but for now, until I write you in Etsy my 'essay' of how glorious your work is, please accept my enthusiastic and awed applause and my massive thanks for this superb DT project. It is so wonderful to have such a talented artist, as your gorgeous self, on my amazing Design Team. Such a huge honor. Huge hugs overflowing with admiration and appreciation. XX PS....mmm... that could be me....lol.... especially as I feel I was born in the wrong century...... Thanks so much for the inspiration, the laughs, kind mentions and for doing me and my kits proud. You are AMAZING!!! XX
😳😍😳😍😳😍 You watched it!!!!!!!! I'm so embarrassed but so very happy you loved my creation!!!!! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be on your team and to work with your lovely kits!!! I love this period so very much!! It beckons to me like no other!!! Thank you for such beautiful commentary and for not minding my silly, sleepy ramblings at certain parts 🤣🤣 I'm still convinced that image is indeed you... Lol. Confess!!!! 😍😍😍😂😂🤩
Oh Maddie! I absolutely love it and it is definitely so much better in real life. It is so clear to see how much time and love has been put into this amazing journal. I feel so so so lucky to be the owner of this gorgeous journal and I can assure you it will be treasured and loved forever. Thank you so much Maddie for everything and for your friendship. You are an absolute gem. Sending love. xxx
Awww, thank you my dear Sue!! I'm happy that you love it!! I watched your video and noticed that there was some damage to the third signature with the magnetic clasp. Not certain if the damage occurred when customs had it with them for so long but I'll be sending you some mail soon with some pieces to fix that magnetic flip. I'll send it soon after I finish with the journal I'm working on. I promise!! 😍😍😍😍
Hi Maddie Love you work. I think this might be the third time I am watching this video. Your attention to detail is inspiring. Thank you for sharing and can't wait to see the next book full of treasures.
You loving my work is a Huge compliment considering the detail work you do!!!!!! I’m in awe of your more recent video and now you have a new subscriber for life!!!! Can’t wait to watch more of your videos!!! 😍🥰😍
Another beautiful journal! Medieval time period is where you shine girl! You absolute nailed it. I also envision others and myself in dated artwork, not to worry 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks so much for sharing! I'm catching up.on all your videos lolol. 💕💕
Aww, thank you so much!!! It was a swap I did with the talented Sue Cook at paperinspirations. Her journal to me is one of my favorites!!! And I’m glad I found you!!! You have a new subbie!! Can’t wait to get home to watch your videos!!!
@@craftylore8417 aww, thank you!! I have seen Sue's book to, absolutely amazing!!! Thank you for subbing, i hope you can find some inspiration as i have found with your channel xo
I adore your giggle and sense of humor. I am working on Jarf's Owl set and your journal is a great inspiration for my journal. So many ideas. Her artwork is so beautiful that it is a little overwhelming trying to show them to their best. I totally agree. That picture is Jarf and she time traveled to now. Lucky us. Thank you for sharing. Love your dragon story. 😂❤️
I adore your laugh! It warms my heart. Your journals a so finely detailed and absolutely magical! I'm in love with your work. So inspiring! I'm obsessed!❤
“This book is ready to explode.” Explode with techniques TNTC. I’d never heard the term “ghost” before, but I see what you mean. Those details are again TNTC (ghosting in the back page waterfall and a Wendy-style flip out, for example). I actually felt like my brain and heart were going to simultaneously explode. Because beautiful things make me emotional, and every single thing was breathtakingly beautiful. I’m going to watch this video again to better see ALL the details. Thank you for making beautiful things and sharing them with us.
Andrea, I didn’t have the slightest inkling that I would be able to call you and Sue some of my very good friends!! You both inspire me and I truly wish you’d start putting your work on UA-cam!! Please, pretty please upload on UA-cam. For our journal swap, I would like it if you could upload on UA-cam. You don’t have to talk if you don’t want to. Though I’d love to hear your voice, but at least a video!!!! 😍😍😍 okay, going coo coo here. 🤣
What an amazing work of art! Came to you from Sue's channel and have now subscribed. Can't wait to see more of your videos. Beautiful work and can't find adequate words to describe it. Wow! I know Sue adores your journal and that she feels very blessed to have received it. I can see why.
Your Renaissance Junk Journal is truly a work of art! I love your creations, and wish I was as imaginative as you are. Thanks so much for the tour of this journal!! Cheers! ~Janet in Canada
Ok... I’m going to say it. I can’t tell if watching your channel inspires me.... or makes me never want to journal again. 😂 You’re so damn good! Just when I think I’ve created something beautiful... I see your masterpieces. Then I’m like damn, mine looks like journal making 101. Seriously, I can only get better w you as my muse!
Awww!! Your words are incredibly sweeter than the dash of honey I put into my Earl Grey!!!! I doubt anything you create would be labeled as elementary!! Seriously!! I think you’re a perfectionist like me and in no way do I ever think my “completed” journals are masterful because I know I could have crafted it better. It’s so about learning to know when to let go. Otherwise, I’ll never complete a project. Like right now. I’m currently working on 2 books and for one of them I’m still not happy with the cover so I’m back at the drawing board, literally. Hopefully mid November I can feature one of the books. If I can ever learn to let go!!! 😔😔😍🥰
Your journal is like a work of art. So beautiful. So many ideas to explore. You are such a talented illuminator. Keeping the art of beautiful medieval journals alive. TFS. So much detail in each page. Your imagination seems endless.
Cheryl, I truly am grateful to your words. Thank you so very much for appreciating and encouraging my craft. It means a lot to me. I subscribed to your channel in hopes that you’ll put up some crafting videos and perhaps we can collaborate on a journal together if you like. Let me know if you’d be interested.
Omg I’m re-watching this and I realized I didn’t even comment the first time! This whole book is a treasure from start to finish. All your details-too many to count-are just perfection! Every page is so well thought out. I’m envious of your talent!! Beautiful work!!
Okay, I've watched this three times now, and I'm utterly speechless. Which, my mother could tell you (if she were alive) has happened maybe three times in my whole life. :-) Fabulous.
This journal is stunning! Brilliant work, my dear. You put your heart and soul into it, and I see how easily you might have added 200 more pages with such an interesting subject. BTW, new subbie here!
Pam TheSoundofChildren'sLaughter thank you Pam!!! You are so correct!! I could have easily added another 200 pages, lol!!! I’m going to go in over to your channel to subscribe to you!!
Stunning! I am in love with Jarfs kits ❤and she is such a wonderful person as well. Fantastic journal!!! You are cracking me up about Jarf lol, but you are probably right!!!😂
Lol!!! I was so sleepy when I did my voice over but I'm still totally convinced that some of those images are indeed Jarf!!! Lol. I entirely agree with you. Jarf is indeed a wonderful, beautiful person!!
Hi there. New subbie here. You've definitely done Jarf and Medieval Mirage proud. You are very talented. If you don't mind me asking, which binding stitch did you use for your signatures? Thanks in advance 🌹
Marlene, please forgive me. So the faux embossing on the front cover: I used antique gold metallic paint (with a very fine tipped brush or a detailed brush) that I painted over Jarf’s filigree pattern on the book cover. I did two coats. Took about 4-5 hours mainly because I didn’t have the proper paint brushes. I do now but not back then when I made this journal for Sue. After the paint dried, I carefully went over the pattern three times with glossy accents which gave the “embossed” effect. Hence the faux illumination (2 coats of metallic paints) and faux emboss (3 applications) of glossy accents. I hope I explained my process that’s understandable. If I have more time, I’ll try to do a “quick” tutorial. I hope this helps and please forgive my tardy reply!! 😇😇🥰🥰😍😍
This book was absolutely fantastic!! Beautifully done my friend! 💕
Thank you so much April! It was one of my favorite journals to create. Jarf's digitals makes it super easy to get carried away, lol!! 😍😂😂
