I made your twig spine book and sent blank pages to my brother to sketch leaves on the pages and he sent back to me and I
finished it and he sent me a pen nib too for the front.I thought I should make him one of these books to keep and he can sketch what ever he wants in it
Thank you so much for both of these videos. Love the grooves in the cardboard to sew in the signatures
Hugs to you
How lovely to work in collaboration with your brother.. if you are on Facebook.. our group would love to see it. 🤗
hey wow! I made my first book!! thanks to you bella!!
Congratulations! 😘
Fun video.. thanks..!!
Thanks for watching!!
Oh! This is precious, Cat. I don't do paper crafting anymore, but I love watching and this is so charming! So many of these techniques could be adapted for fabrics and embroidery, which is more of what I do. So inspiring!
Thank you! What a nice compliment! 😘
I just found you on youtube and I could not be happier. Thank you so much for sharing your gift and talent.
Thanks for watching!!! 😘
Well, how stinkin’ cute is this??? LOVE THIS!!!😍😍😍
Awww thanks, Cheryl!! 😘
Morning, Caterina. the little bee book is cute. I saw the portrait behind you as you were saying your intro. A nurse with a mask. Me sitting at work in my 😷. one nurse to another. a wonderful portrait.
Hi dearheart.. thank you! That is Nurse Gina.. a very dear friend.. I have been painting her for several years.. this one was started during covid.. she, like many of you, including my sis in law were on the front lines.. it is part of 3 pieces soon to be 4.. from my Every Woman series. She represents all women to me.. we are all shining stars ⭐️ you too!! 😘
How much fun and really pretty! 😊
Thanks!!
PRECIOSOS !!!!!!!

Thank you! 😘
Loved the tutorial and particularly love bees and botanicals. Thank you 🐝🐝💕🙏
Thanks for watching!
I love making small books too. It's an easy project you can get done in a day. Just want to add a tip for the first tissue page... I have repurposed used family size tea bags. I dump the tea out after using and let dry. Once dry you can carefully pull apart. The color is a yummy warm vintage hue. You can also use discarded sewing tissue pattern paper too!!
So cute! I’m ordering some papers and gonna give it a try!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Truly love this! Plan on making one for a gift! Thank you!!
Lovely! 😘

Hello new Subbie!
I love little books and these are adorable and there is something about using the cardboard that is cool. I enjoyed your video and put this project in my bucket list. Have a good weekend, take care!
Thanks so much!
Adorable bee journal! I have tons of watch crystals because my husband was a jeweler and watchmaker, so now I have more uses for them. TFS the inspiration!
Thank you for watching!!

Oh how yummy! Love how you folded and tucked the top and bottom of the cover paper under the signatures.
Oh! Thank you, dear friend! 😘♥️
So nice to see the making of a small book treasure this fall morning! Cat and coffee is a great way to start the day. I like the bundle painting method, very cohesive! ❤️😊
Thanks, Lori! So glad you enjoyed it! 😘
Hermoso tu trabajo me encanto❤

L O V E love it! Thanks so much for the videos. Your work is beautiful and so inspiring.
Thanks for watching!!
So very pretty …Will love making one.
Lovely! Glad you like it!
Cat, what lovely little books these all are! I for whatever reason, find myself lately, going smaller and smaller with my art books and art pieces. I really almost wanted to EAT that delicious paint color you added to all the pages, and LOVED your over lapping technique to cover them, pretty brilliant!
I too, love Sarah Fishburn and her "lots of red", art pieces! She is amazing. I first discovered her in an older book called True Colors, by Lynne Perrella, one of my first and ALL TIME fave art books!! Cat, thank you and Don for this wonderful share!! I just loved it!
Hi Lynn! I am so glad you liked the tiny bee books.. and the painted pages.. yes, Sarah is amazing and I am very blessed to call her my friend. 😘
What a divine mini book🧡🐝💛Love the beautiful simplicity, texture and cover.....just everything!💙 On another note, I think I have dampened corrugated cardboard to remove the top layer a little more easily. Thankyou again 💙xx
Yes! That would certainly work! Thanks dearheart 💙💙💙
🤩🐝💐 Thank you very much for sharing 💖🍀🌻
Thank you for watching! 😘

Love ya, Cat 💋
Love ya back! xoxo
Sencillamente maravilloso saludos desde España
Gracias!
You are so inspiering 💜
Thank you!!
Hi I really appreciate your video. I learned so much. Never thought of using Card board as a base for a book and actually use in the grooves to put in the signatures. what glue did you use to glue the crystal with? Thanks
I used Golden Gel Matte Medium.. glad you found inspiration.
@@CaterinaGiglio thanks
Cat, I'm just curious if Yes Paste would be a better adhesive for something like this? You don't often use it and I'm wondering if there's a reason why, or do you just prefer mat gel medium?
I never use it…. I experienced lifting in my work once when I used it and abandoned it for professional adhesives.
How did you attach the tissue paper. I just saw you tuck it in. Did you glue it?
Cat, your work is so beautiful and thought provoking. I love making mixed media myself and now that I am retiring from my 9-5 I get to concentrate on my art full time!!! I am wondering if you can advise regarding infringement law. I do use some magazine images in my collages. I am hoping to supplement my social security with my art. Do you know if mixed media artists are allowed to sell their work if it contains pieces of copyrighted material? Thanks for any light you can shed,
No .. do not use anything copyrighted.. you can get copyright free material and antique pieces.. don’t use someone else’s work…
Thank you!!
Love this little bee book! Wondering what weight/gsm Khadi paper you used for this project? There are a few different choices on Amazon. I am somewhat of a newbie to bookmaking, and often have a hard time deciding what materials are appropriate to a project. Thanks for any wisdom you can share.
Hi Paula, I used Cavalinni paper.. you can get it on Amazon.. the signatures are Khadi papers you could use mix media paper or really any you want..
I love making small books too. It's an easy project you can get done in a day. Just want to add a tip for the first tissue page... I have repurposed used family size tea bags. I dump the tea out after using and let dry. Once dry you can carefully pull apart. The color is a yummy warm vintage hue. You can also use discarded sewing tissue pattern paper too!!
Yes, they all work well, thanks for watching!
