  • Really stunning. I have not tried art journaling but your videos are so inspiring makes me want to try. Ubuntu we are safe in our little town of Hoedspruit I’m sure you must be shocked to see what went on in South Africa over the last few days. Our old home town was Amanzimtoti which was hit hard. They are still battling to get supplies. So sad 😞

  • Great tutorial. I just found some old books and didn't have a clue how to transform them into a journal. I want to share a fantastic glue I've found for thin papers, or any paper, really. - Elmers No-Wrinkle dual tip glue pen.The thin and wide tips work well for a variety of projects, and it's 'washable', so I can remove what sneaks out past the edges. Depending on the circumstance, I use a brayer, instead of a bone folder, to smooth out whatever I've glued. It's gentle enough for delicate paper. Thank you so much for your vlogs. I just found your channel and am binge watching 😳
