Beginning work on an altered book that will be filled with collage bits from some of my favorite journal makers and Etsy sellers. This video shows how to alter a book and I'll begin collaging the first few pages. Thanks for watching!

Your voice and the sound of you making art with books just stopped an anxiety attack I was having. Just wanted to say thank you. Got lost in this and then realized the anxiety was gone. Very calming and definitely inspiring.

@gayleagostinelli_ct 4 года назад

Oh that makes my heart feel good, Rachel. Thank you for sharing this story! ❤️

Whenever I alter a book, I tend to obliterate everything - I quite like this gentle way of altering, leaving some of the pages with illustrations intact. You gave me some good ideas, thank you!

@buddymycatbychristyolesen1993 5 лет назад

I sat down in front of the TV to begin an altered book, turned on your channel for company, and there you were Beginning an Altered Book! I'm starting my second altered book, but it's my first vintage altered book.

Nope, it was on camera. lol I love watching you problem solve and how you explain to us why you decided to do what you did. Thank you, Gayle.

Inking makes ALL the difference! Thanks for sharing.

@paulad2527 5 лет назад

Gail, watching you work is my favorite guilty pleasure. I’ve learned so much! Thank you fri sharing your skills with us!

@belindaosgood 5 лет назад

Another project that you make me want to do. As regards to inking - embrace your style, it's part of why I (and I'm sure, others) love watching you. If you're enjoying it, we are enjoying it. ;)

@swenstrand 5 лет назад

Gayle I think you need to decorate however you want. You absolutely love the distressed look, so do it! Everyone I watch has a different style and each brings inspiration and new techniques along with them. I do not expect them to do the same thing and indeed I do not want them to. Stay true to what you love, and continue to love what you create. We do!

@Lorikneisler 5 лет назад

I like to watch people collage too! thanks for taking us along on your journey!!!

@donnagasser158 5 лет назад

It's amazing that you do what you do. I enjoyed watching you very much. I've never watched anyone change a book like this before. I feel I'm learning so much.

Hi Gayle 🖐🏻🖐🏻 I know this video is old one but I’m laughing so hard when you are counting these book pages and said “ my brain is hurting “ because I was counting pages with you and my brain was hurting too !,, oh you makes my day better/ great everyday!, keep up your good work!! 😂😂😂❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@LilCraftyNook 4 года назад

I love how you saved the illustration pages! I plan on altering a giant flower book (with lots of photo pages) for my wedding (guest book/photo album) and that’s what I hope to do!! Ha! I find I end up doing that-excusing myself to look for stuff!!😊 You’re too fun!!❤️

@waboosje 5 лет назад

Hi Gayle, I never see any1 do this type of altering a book and I love what I saw so far. It's fun to hear your beautiful laugh.

@loriscraftcabin 5 лет назад

Hi Gayle. Another wonderful project. I sometimes feel like I am watching Romper Room waiting for my name to be called out for the hi and hugs ☺️❤️

@andreajohnsMyPotteryBliss 5 лет назад

As a kid I watched Romper Room every single day. I loved Miss Florence. I waited, with bated breath, to hear my name called out at the end of the program. She said all my siblings names on various days but never my name. I couldn’t figure out how she saw my siblings, who were at school, but couldn’t see me right in front of the TV. Then on the day Miss Florence finally said my name I was over the moon happy. My faithful viewership finally paid off. The first 15 years of my life I only met 1 other “Andrea”. It was not a wildly popular name. When I graduated from college, in just one of my college classes, there were 5 “Andreas”. It’s nice to know I’m not the only Andrea in the world anymore. 🥳💁🏻‍♀️👏🏽

@debrasproule7422 5 лет назад

Beautiful work Gayle. I’m gonna be on the hunt for the perfect book to alter now too. Looking forward to seeing it all done, thanks again for the inspiration.

@avahall2575 5 лет назад

@Canadian693 5 лет назад

Thanks for another video and start of another project. I went to our local library and they gave me a dozen hardcover books in Japanese that they did not need. One of the books, the pages are very old and when I folded a page, it almost ripped in half, so I will be treasuring this book, but I will use pages from the other books, in some of my junk journals. Thanks again!

@clarataveira5001 4 года назад

That was a plesure to watch, thank you! ❤️

@MinxysStudioUK 5 лет назад

Good morning Gayle (well, it's morning here in the UK!) I am so happy that you are walking us through altering a book as I have many that I don't want to completely cut up but had no idea on how/where to start on altering them to make them more functional instead of just sitting there doing nothing as I don't have the heart to completely gut them!! Thanks for sharing, much love, Victoria xx

@janicestevens4259 5 лет назад

Great info, since I’ve never seen this done before. Thank you!

@Solo3198- 5 лет назад

Love, love, love! I have to ink almost everything too! No shame there! Missing the ink pad cracked me up. I have done that too!

@dawnbish9822 5 лет назад

What a fun project. I am going to have to clean up my craft area so I can follow along. Thanks!!!!

@erikagreen524 3 года назад

thanks for showing me my 1st altered media book tutorial. I just happened to come across the mixed media artwork on pintrest and just thought maybe i have found my new niche in my art world. anyway thanks for the help your book is coming along beautifully

@amandaharden4063 5 лет назад

hiya Gayle new subbie here... If you will switch to a metal ruler and turn it over so that the corked backing is face up and you lay the flat metal part flat against the paper, you'll have zero issues tearing papers even the tiny strips. thanks so much for the videos. you've inspired me to craft again after many years off.

@gayleagostinelli_ct 5 лет назад

Welcome to my channel, Amanda! I’m so glad you’re here and crafting again!! Hugs to you! ❤️

@jeannieferdinande5805 5 лет назад

Wonderful beginning ❤️

@suebennett8103 5 лет назад

Hi Gayle, Love watching and also love how you use the distressing ink. It just finishes things off. Thanks for sharing.

@marlenejones6266 4 года назад

Time spent here with you is just like going to your besties house to craft together. You make me laugh and you dont act like a professional in that you arent afraid to let loose and say something silly or even once in while kind goofy. I feel like I just spent time with a good friend jokin and having fun. I need this like you cant even imagine Gayle so thank you. Oh and I'm making an altered book so this is very informative on top of havin a blast. Marlene. and I dont mean you arent professional in what you do. It's just you can have fun while working.

@gayleagostinelli_ct 4 года назад

Thank you, Marlene, for your kind, sweet comment! I love spending time with you too!! ❤️

@joyceleathers1720 5 лет назад

Gayle great tips and thank you for the shout out on the other paper shops!

@Jenny-W1910 5 лет назад

"maybe i can limit my self to (inking) edges and focal points" she said.... and the crowd roared with laughter! 😂😆😍 ink away gayle..... we'd be disappointed if you didn't, and it adds just that extra something-with no added bulk! i had to go back and see the "missed stamping" since you were laughing so much-i totally missed it the first time! it is worth the rewind my friend-i needed a good giggle! i haven't done an altered book in ages, that's gonna change after seeing how much fun your having. excited to see the cover/DT project your doing for tracie! tfs pal, hope your having a great time with family as you get ready for the retreat! 💕

@travelingmntngal7963 4 года назад

These first pages turned out lovely and looking forward to seeing how the rest of the book developed. Can't wait to try this on the book I got. Hope you are having a very restful and enjoyable retreat, Gayle. It's been good to watch some of these videos I haven't seen before while you have been gone. God Bless. Sue

@carolynramirez316 5 лет назад

What a great idea. A collage book. Love it as I love to collage. Going to do this. I have a book I just altered too. Thanks for the great inspiration and you had me laughing and pointing things out like “no put it there”. Enjoying this video.

@tanjarains3394 5 лет назад

How fun is this???? I had a basic idea of what an altered book was and no desire whatsoever to make one until I watched this video, and now I’ve been digging through my stash trying to find a book I can alter!!! I can’t wait to see what else you do with yours!!!

@sandraipeterson 5 лет назад
