    I was just browsing a FB page that I joined and I felt the need to come and leave you a note. I have noticed while viewing these shared pages that so many people are over the top with added bling that they purchase. I am fairly new to junk journaling and am older and on a fixed income so I don't have the budget to purchase all those "extras". I save up so I can get the hole punch or the corner trimmer and find items at thrift shops and around the house. All that said, I cannot express how much I appreciate YOU and what you share because you also do so much upcycling and everything you do is beautiful! Thank you so much for your inspiration and all of the sharing that you do it means so much to me. I try every single one of your new creations and will soon have some of these nifty flowers in my journals. THANK YOU! You win the "Best Instructor" award from me!!

    This tutorial inspired me on two things. First is to cover a piece of Styrofoam with fabric and use that as a helper in my prickly projects. The second is to use leftovers of gift-wrapping paper to create clustered flowers as part of décor for the wrapped packages.

      @@bythegraceofgod993 , thanks for replying with your comment. This reminded me to add a sticky note with brief description of all this to the container where i keep my wrapping paper. Next time i use the container I will see it and will not forget to cut offcuts into strips and make those decor flowers. At the time of the video i intended to do that but of course forgot. So thanks!

    I just watched your faux rice paper tutorial and I think it would look great cut into strips and made into these flowers as well.
    I can see these flowers hung onto tree branches that are hung onto a wall as an art piece. And…these flowers 💐 could be glued onto pin backings and made into brooches. And…glued onto a pendant bail for a necklace. Goodness my brain is on fire, lol.
    Keep doing you 🔥🔥

    Natasha you are brilliant!!! Of all the junk journal videos I've watched, and I've watched quite a few...well more than a few, I've wondered why more journalists have not used real stitching in some of the projects..doing the string w the buttons adds so much more to the flowers...I also think doing a blanket stitch around some ephemera would be lovely...would add so much to a project...I've plans to do that to my personal journal...thank you for all the inspiration...you are truly an inspiration...thank you!!!

    It’s cute. To tell you the truth I learned this technique using fabrics embroidered from my grandma before 1980. She used dried large fish scale for the center with sequins or simply embroidered the large circle. Wish I had a piece of her work. It reminds me her creativity her beautiful embroidery. Thank you for the heads up again.
    These are cute on the projects you shown. Lovely

    A tad frustrating at first 🥵....I've been sitting here practicing for the last 2 hours or so, I've even recruited my husband for assistance ....he gave up long ago 🤣 Patience & practice are paying off, I'm finally starting to get the hang of it. I'm not sure why I'm finding this to be so difficult. I love the style of these flowers, it's nice to have options & something other than rosettes 😁

    How timely. Just getting started and after I glued a button to some tea dyed paper I realized I need a flower. I tried to use a flower from the paper I was using-just centering it and curling the petals. But now I know what to do. Oddly enough, the first one I tried w your instructions on book page paper worked fine. It took two pieces. And now my hands and brain are fighting one another. But you said keep trying!! By the way-a cake decorating class many years ago making “perfect” flowers - the instructor mentioned most things in nature including flowers are not perfect and that is often their beauty. You do a very good job instructing and encouraging. Thank you. On to practicing but I also wanna see the little wonky envelopes. So much to learn and do!! Thanks.

  • @carolpickering7004
    @carolpickering7004 2 роки тому

    These flowers are so great I had to put you on pause and make some. Since you said flimsy is good, I decided to use strips from a mail-order catalogue. Just about as flimsy as you can get! I wanted the "petals" to be jagged so I used my biggest zigzag edged scissors to cut the strips instead of just tearing them as I first tried. The results were super! The colors were varied but coordinated from the ads in the catalogue. The strips were long enough to make a complete tiny flower so I just added a couple of strips from the same ad together to make a bigger flower. I will have to find another storage box for these because I've already made 6 and your video is still playing. This idea ROCKS!!!!!

    So a little story. I decided I wasn’t being far to all the other junk journal channels on here and I went out and made myself watch other videos. I think I mentioned before on a comment I have serious issues with listening to people. I can’t even buy certain audio books. It’s some sort of sensory issue or something 😂😂. Ok but I did force myself to watch other videos and I ALWAYS get to a certain part and I’m like “na…let’s just go back on over to treasure books”! I do have one other lady but I have to switch back and forth because I love her ideas but your style, if that makes sense. I love how much you put into your journals to make them stand out and the level of detail on everything. So after all my ramblings here I just wanna say thank you and you are truly amazing at teaching and creating!
