I really like the dry brush gesso technique. So sorry to hear of the sad violence in Vienna. I am praying you stay safe. It seems as if the whole world has gone crazy. It makes me sad. You are a blessing!
Trange time...I hope you are doing well! I am French and I understand the fear that these shootings, these terrorist attacks provoke. I wholeheartedly stand in solidarity with your city, your country, the families affected by this tragedy, France stands in solidarity and mourns with your country. Take care of yourself and don’t let them win, as the creation, the peoples are multiple, that’s what is beautiful and inspiring. Let us not let them make us believe that difference is a danger, it is a treasure. All my compassion and strength go to you. continue to inspire us with your beautiful creations. MERCI
Thanks you so much for your kind words of solidarity! Both our countries are going through rough times and we will stand together and celebrate diversity and tolerance. Stay safe as well! ❤️
My prayers for you and your countrymen in the events going on there...and on a brighter note, the journal is coming along so nicely! I love the blues!!!!
Barbara when I heard the news of what happened my heart dropped as I instantly thought of you and yours ! Sending big hugs !! Loving this series !!! Beautiful as always !!
Morning Barbara, Hope you are having a good and healthy day. Has Austria also been affected by the lockdown, as strict as others in Europe. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your hubby. Keep yourselves safe and well. I am so enjoying your series on this book and already it is looking awesome. Love watching and hearing you with the process of making a beautiful piece of art. Love and blessings - Diana Fox
I always love watching your videos, Barbara. Your sense of humor gives me a laugh and a smile. Your layouts are beautiful and your videos are as much an art lesson as a journal tutorial. Take care and stay safe.
Just want to let you know how much I enjoy your videos and how much I appreciate your editing and your pleasant voice! I watch some other ladies with similar content as yours, and while they might be doing as beautiful things as you, I never enjoy watching their videos as much as yours. So thank you for your amazing work!
Barbara, I've been binge watching your channel for some time, you inspire me so much. I don't normally leave a comment but I want to send you love and light after reading of the terrible events in Vienna. I sincerely hope you and your family/friends are safe. Thank you for making your videos and helping me in my own creative journey. 💞✨✨💞
Your pages are so adorable, looking forward to seeing more. And I have read some of the other comments and was shocked to read about what is happening. Thankfully you are okay. Sending big hugs sweetie
my goodness thank you, I've never been able to understand collaging arts until i worked with you. i watch then go try and do it to match, then try another page and now my journal looks like me but is more beautiful then me!!! im so excited to get this finally coming together!! its the way you are so very real, calm and focused on the composition that i love most!
I love all the pages and how you co-ordinate so they go together but not matchy matchy! I’m so saddened to hear about the awful attacks in Vienna last night, I hope you and everyone you know are safe? All of Vienna are in my thoughts and I hope they catch these terrorists! big hugs xxx💕
"My tea bags that I coffee dyed," that is something only us (junk) journalers will say & understand 😁🤣😁 i love your work Barbara it is always a pleasure to listen & watch you decorate your pages. 🥰 hugs Maureen
Oh dear Barbara! Watching your video gives me lots of ideas and inspiration.😊❤❤..every page looks magnificent🌸😊l wish that you and your family stay safe and sound❤ Sending hugs🤗❤
Barbara I hope everything is well with you and your family. Your video is a bright spot in this weird world. It is nice to get away from reality for a while and to be busy with paper and more
LOL! "I decided I didn't have a purpose for those 2 marble books, so I didn't buy them....but I did put them high up on a shelf so hopefully no one else does either" That made me cackle! I would have probably done the same thing!
Ich liebe diese Idee und bin total begeistert. 🤩 Ich werde das auch ganz sicher ausprobieren. 😊 Danke dir für diese Inspiration, ich bin einfach total fasziniert 🙏! Bitte pass in diesen Zeiten und nach den neusten Ereignissen auf dich auf und bleib gesund! LG Nicole K.
Wonderful... wonderful...wonderful !!!! I really enjoy you deveiopment of each page....the dialog is very helpful when you make your choices. Your style really appeals to me. Thank you so much.
Very glad to hear you are ok. Thinking of you & Vienna. I am enjoying this series & working on my first altered book. Thank you so much for the inspiration 💕
Hello Barbara, I've found a book I can alter 😊 I'll be putting in pockets next. TYFS all your beautiful ideas 💖 Thinking of you at this time and hoping you and yours are safe 💜
I started watching these videos and I am in love with the process. I started junk journaling about 10 months ago. I added it to my many other things I love to do. Altered books have always fascinated me. So I went to my dollar tree and bought 2 books to alter for christmas gifts. I am so excited! Thank you for taking the time to show us ❤
Heard today about the terrible attack in your home city. Praying you, your family and friends are safe. Loving this altered book. I was working on one but had to stop to work on Christmas presents.
i REALLY ENJOYING FOLLOWING YOU IN THIS JOURNEY i AM A MEMBER FROM tHE dIGITAL cOLLAGE cLUB SO i JUST ALTERED OR MODIFY A LITTLE BIT EA CH PAGE BUT MORE OR LESS i LOVE THE WAY YOU TEACH .tHANKS A LOT
For the past year or so, I have been making various pockets in an altered book to use as a reference of the pockets used. As I was going through them, I realized that my eyes hurt from all the words!!! Your video especially the napkin one was a real eye opener! Now I have an altered book of pockets with samples how to decorate the pockets. My conclusion is that it would of been easier not to glue the pages together but alas glue doesnt always stay glue and some were easy to undo. So thank you for your wonderful ideas!
I’m loving this series, Barbara. I’m going to start back at the beginning and try to create along with you. I have trouble finishing projects (lots and lots of half dones lurking in my craft room) so maybe if I stick with you I’ll actually complete a project!
When I heard what was happening in Vienna, my very first thought was of you. Praying for your safety. It seems that the whole world has gone insane this year. Stay safe and well. 😘😘 As always, I love your pages! But, on your last pocket, I was surprised you didn’t ink over the gesso on the blue floral background to tone it down some. It seems so bright compared to the rest of the page. Just an observation, not a criticism. 😉😘😘
Your pages are so beautiful Barbara 😍 I love how you create balance in your collages. I definitely want to make an altered book journal now! Look forward to seeing your finished journal and how you create a closure. Will you be covering your book?
Thank you Barbara, for the info about the digi club 🥰 I have been a bit confused about all the purchasing etc on other sites...just boughs a printer and I am playing along with you.
The journal is turning out so lovely but more concerned for your well being. I'm so sorry your city and country are going through this horrible thing. Hoping you're well and inside with doors and windows locked.
