First, let me say: this is extraordinary. World class. Second, I got hung up researching the image at 53:33 of Dustmaker, the Ponca Indian. You happened upon an image from a large collection that has been lauded by modern historians and anthropologists and the first of its kind. Here's some background: (From Wikipedia)Frank Albert Rinehart (1861-1928) was an American artist famous for his photography capturing Native American personalities and scenes, especially portrait settings of leaders and members of the delegations who attended the 1898 Indian Congress in Omaha. ... In 1898, and in occasion of the Indian Congress held in conjunction with the Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition, Rinehart was commissioned to photograph the event and the Native American personalities who attended it.[1] Together with his assistant Adolph Muhr (who would later be employed by the famous photographer Edward S. Curtis), they produced what is now considered "one of the best photographic documentations of Indian leaders at the turn of the century".[2] Tom Southall, former photograph curator at the University of Kansas' Spencer Art Museum, said of the Rinehart collection: The dramatic beauty of these portraits is especially impressive as a departure from earlier, less sensitive photographs of Native Americans. Instead of being detached, ethnographic records, the Rinehart photographs are portraits of individuals with an emphasis on strength of expression. While Rinehart and Muhr were not the first photographers to portray Indian subjects with such dignity, this large body of work which was widely seen and distributed may have had an important influence in changing subsequent portrayals of Native Americans.[2] To see a complete collection, check this out on flickr www.flickr.com/photos/boston_public_library/sets/72157622672603941/
Tanya Juli tanya that is absolutely fascinating, thankyou SO much! Well that western style studio portrait makes a lot more sense now, and yes, he has really captured his beauty and individuality. I appreciate that so much thankyou! The collection is now on my list of research for my next session, thankyou :)

The Old Bohemian Gypsy aww, we are all different arent we, i draw so much inspiration too from others, i love that we have this platform to share with eachother. Thankyou for such a sweet message x
This is wonderful! So much creativity, and so many surprises. Thank you for sharing. I did go to your website and downloaded some of your free offers. They are lovely, and much appreciated. Xx

Holy cow! I’m relatively new to this craft, and have made only half a dozen journals. I’ve learned so much from various maker’s tutorials and have made coffee, tea, onion skin, and avocado dyed papers. I have purchased more ephemera, inks, oxides, stamps, dies, paper, backgrounds, etc., and find myself overwhelmed with where to go and what to do with it all. I have tons of beads and jewelry making materials as that was my first love just before and after retirement when I found my fingers could no longer manage working with the tiny beads for jewelry and bead embroidery. So I found myself being drawn into the junk journaling craft and I just love it. However, as I said I struggle with making my journals cohesive and interesting. What you have done here is mind blowing and absolutely gorgeous. I’m sure, since this video is now 6-7 years old, that your journal sold in milliseconds. I have no way of knowing what you charged for it, the materials alone would add up to a significant sum plus the hours-days-weeks-months of hard work planning and assembly, but I hope it was a very substantial amount. I know what I would have been willing to pay! Congratulations on the most spectacular project I’ve seen yet after having watched hundreds of videos on this craft. Best wishes.
Hey there, such kind words thankyou! Well, I don't enjoy asking for large sum of money but for this to be sustainable, yes I do have to charge a lot. Projects like this equate to months of work so the price has to reflect. It was one of my bigger projects. I appreciate your comments, thankyou and wish you a happy crafting journey too x
oh wow...love it so much! Enjoyed listening to your stories and hearing you explain your thought process...all of it! thank you so much for sharing...your journal is fantastic! :)
Amazing as always. I love your chats, it is like a book club and show N tell all in one. Honestly I now want to read some of the books you mentioned. Please don’t change your style. Thanks for sharing ❤️
An absolute banquet! A feast for hungry eyes, and yes it got more curiouser and curiouser, I loved every second of your masterpiece , how on earth are you going to follow this one ? .... but my guess is you will and we wait xx
I'm watching this again over a year later and enjoying it just as much as the first time. I wish there was some way to "like" more than once and make it count. I always love listening to you Jibid, we just have so much in common.
Fabulous! You are a great artist! It is so much fun to see your work and this is so imaginative and special.....and the music box! So fun! Love the story too... :)
Saint tomatoes! This is incredible! You combined so many themes together and they look simply stunning! It is really difficult to find proper words to describe this journal. Just WOW!
Oh my word Jibid it is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful and i love the steampunk era esp as it is all around us still. Wounderful huni thank you for sharing xxx
My GOODNESS Jibid!!! I am in AWE! I am BREATHLESS!! This is an amazing magical work of art!!! It reminds me of an interactive book that I had of wizards when I was little, your artwork memorized me and it brought me back to the feeling of curiosity and magic!!! A round of applause to you my sweet friend as you have shown us a beautiful journal filled with so much inspiration and magic! 💛
Spectacular! Seriously this is a work of art and when I saw it played music - I’m like literally the equivalent of Jibid dropping the mic! Fantastic 💜💜💜
gipsyrose paperie ih my goodness can you imagine someone doing that on a journal video?! Would be so hilarious, (but not in a good way) lol you made me laugh hunny, thankyou for that and for your kind words x
Facinating! It's like a novel with it's twist and turns, characters, and a climactic ending! I grabbed my popcorn and put you on the big screen. I loved your stories as you navigated us through the book. Sheer genius, Jibid.
I am so enthralled by your beautiful rendition of 'Steampunk'... whilst most portray the theme as a tongue-in-cheek look at the era of invention... you have given it a wonderfully erudite meaning in creating this wonderful 'compendium'!
It is hard to wrap my head around all this goodness!! You are so gifted and the most wonderful thing is that you are so willing to share your talents..❤️💕 I love ❤️ to hear all the stories of how you found your pieces..Looking forward as always to the next treasure!! 🤩
I am always, always just amazed by your work - but when you opened that back portion, my jaw just dropped! The trinket box, the second book... I just LOVE it! A true work of art!
Oh my goodness!! There are simply no words to describe this. It is beyond exceptional! Your creativity is amazing and your skill at putting together a book is second to none. Incredible.
I must honestly say, I do not usually watch long youtube video, but I thoroughly enjoyed this and watched the entire video. I loved listening to you and your thoughts. The journal is wonderful, each page was intriguing and enjoyable. Thank you so much for creating this and letting us see. The person who addied this journal to their life will enjoy it forever. Your talent and creativity is exceptional!
Absolutely amazing, I love all the little surprises along the way! Your journals are adventures in themselves. You are also so encouraging to those of us who are trying our own hand at this process. I bet I dream about this one tonight! My mind is spinning. Thank you, thank you!
I truly appreciate this video because I find your commentary adds to the flip-through experience of this master of an artwork that is way beyond crafting. If I had this journal, I would put it next to a player with this video because it just belongs together.
That was a real treat to watch and yes, I saw the entire thing. So much work into it. This video is a more than a year old so It has sold and been enjoyed by it's new owner for quite some time. Amazing work you are doing. Outstanding. Thank you for sharing.
Every time I see one of your journals I think it is the best ever; so it is with this one! This is heirloom quality and I can imagine it being in a glass case in a museum one day, perhaps after we are all long gone. Superb! By the way, I love your ramblings. Thanks for sharing!
Unbelievable Jibid, you had me with the 'black pearl'! ( my favorite earthly treasures). Such an amazing artist you are, I'll make it back to the Lake District and look you up, knock on your door, and be your bff 🖌👍💌
I just discovered your videos and I am enjoying everyone. The level of your creativity is awesome. I'm looking forward to seeing what you have in store in the future. Thanks for sharing.
First, let me say: this is extraordinary. World class.

Holy cow! I’m relatively new to this craft, and have made only half a dozen journals. I’ve learned so much from various maker’s tutorials and have made coffee, tea, onion skin, and avocado dyed papers.

thankyou sweetie :)
I truly appreciate this video because I find your commentary adds to the flip-through experience of this master of an artwork that is way beyond crafting. If I had this journal, I would put it next to a player with this video because it just belongs together.
Fabulous Journal, I can't find the right words to say to you on this beautiful work of art. ! ! tfs

That was a real treat to watch and yes, I saw the entire thing. So much work into it. This video is a more than a year old so It has sold and been enjoyed by it's new owner for quite some time. Amazing work you are doing. Outstanding. Thank you for sharing.
I enjoy very much listening to what you have to say besides showing your inventive work and art. Many thanks, Canada

Breathtaking! It is an amazing work of art & imagination! I was mesmerized by every page and story! Thanks you!
Thanks to you too!
Every time I see one of your journals I think it is the best ever; so it is with this one! This is heirloom quality and I can imagine it being in a glass case in a museum one day, perhaps after we are all long gone. Superb! By the way, I love your ramblings. Thanks for sharing!
Thats very sweet of you, thankyou diane
