Thank your gifted soul for sharing this! I will likely enjoy the whole process, including the frustrations of learning something new.

I’ve been offline for a bit, so how delightful to open RU-vid and find your chirpy presence first up. Wonderful idea (I’m probably too techno challenged to ever do it but loved seeing the vid). Stay safe😊

That is why your courses are always so good as you put SO much work into them!! I really would like to see/hear about the vignette as well as I'm one of those people that loves vignettes.

Hey Nik I also made some miniature books! I prefer the stable covers and use nail polish to draw the outerior!

@Aegopodium 4 года назад

I simply cut paper to the width of the signature and put 4 pages on one page. I have 2 pages on my monitor, side by side. So it's really easy to insert the gfx. My books are only 1" wide though. In this size you will need a laser printer to be able to read the text. The endpapers are OK on a inkjet printer.

Bought the class before even watching this....you're so generous, knowledgeable and secure in your sharing, creative and detail oriented. I so admire you!!! So what's with the boo-boo on your finger?! :D

@NiktheBooksmith 4 года назад

Hi Marilyn! Thank you so much, I appreciate your sweet comment 😊 ohhh the boo-boo...for the past 6 months or so, my fingertips will split because my hands get so dry. It's never happened before. I think I'm shriveling up. :/

@elizabethespada6319 3 года назад

Love the mini books and will be taking your class soon. What kind of paper do you recommend for the pages? Thank you

@smchalk3535 4 года назад

@staceyhaleysmit3451 4 года назад

Love your mini books...I see in your favorites lists on amazon you have two different printers listed. Do you have either one still, and if so which one do you prefer the most?

Hello! great job, I love it! Do you use a specific program to down scale the pdf file?

@CraftyLadyCraftyLady 4 года назад

I love the books

@saima3308 3 года назад

How do you print the page so small? I’ve tried a bunch of different ways but they always turn out blurry.

@Vikiwastestime 4 года назад

Imposition-----arrrrrrrrrggggghhhhh. Even with normal sized pages and software, it is a nightmare!! Thank you so much for this...been waiting with bated breathe!

@NiktheBooksmith 4 года назад

A nightmare, indeed! 😭

@wonderwonder30 4 года назад

I have been impatiently waiting for this! I’m so excited to start! Edit: could you use watercolor paper or would that be too think of a paper?

@NiktheBooksmith 4 года назад

I thought watercolor paper was hefty, like 140# -ish? 🤔 I like to keep the mini book pages around 20-24# like standard copy paper thickness.

@wonderwonder30 4 года назад

Nik the Booksmith I kinda jumped the gun, got super excited and asked the question before watching the video hehe. Thanks for answering my question!

@lindaknox7725 4 года назад

Just love these mini books. Definitely joining at least one class. BTW, are you going to do a tutorial for the mini globe in the future? I have my ping pong balls waiting for it.

@NiktheBooksmith 4 года назад

hi Linda! yes, yes...I've got to make sure the gores are print ready and I have been testing out different papers to print on. =)

@francinegobeil2429 4 года назад

Spendide! Thank you

@bebs0647 4 года назад

I just love them...are they the same size and font with your mini book kids book currently in your etsy? Also, do you plan to add more readable books like the Alice in Wonderland? Thank you for this video.

@kf9058 Год назад

So does this teach you how to design your own mini book? I have a few ideas I want to do for memorizing scripture / printing old sermons. How can I learn how to design my own?

@LedgerAndLace 4 года назад

Cabin, check. No internet, check. (Apart from stoopid smart phone). LOVE that vignette!!! Also, just figured out how to do RU-vid comments on my phone. Ha!

@kathrynlidstone8771 2 года назад

Very interested in taking the class! Would I be able to figure out how to make books in 1:12 scale after this class, or is this very specific to this size?

@NiktheBooksmith 2 года назад

Hi Kathryn! This class teaches a specific size. I suppose someone who has decent math skills could size down the instructions to 1 :12 scale but I'd think there would probably be other tweaking needed along the way.

@AbiNomac 4 года назад

Wow I love the books. Hey Nik, what do you say about selling us the digitals to make the mini globe? I have to have ‘em. Please.

@NiktheBooksmith 4 года назад

Howgy! I need to make sure the sizing is on-point. And I'm testing out different papers to print on. But yes, it's coming!

@AbiNomac 4 года назад

@jaderockwell2156 Год назад

How many hours go into creating one book?

@craft-o-matic2377 4 года назад

@Nik the Booksmith What about the challenge to make a shelving unit? OMG, I hope it's still happening! I have been slaving away over a hot craft desk, and I have gone way overboard. Still working on the extra decor items.

@NiktheBooksmith 4 года назад

Yep, you keep rocking it! We will reconvene on that soon ;)

@craft-o-matic2377 4 года назад

@@NiktheBooksmith Yes! Thank you! When you all see what I have made, you will probably be thinking, "This is a shelving unit?". Then, with the addition of the other stuff, you will know I have spent waaaay to much time with the squirrels!

@vectorponder 6 месяцев назад

Did you just have to use a copy of those two books to make your own typeset?

@ellabella2603 4 года назад

Wow, the class is very reasonably priced for all the work you put into it. My giant book keeps get pushed off to the side. Even though I almost have all the signature sewn together, and the base cover is done. Maybe miniatures are the answer.
