Working again on more ephemera, this time playing with Edith Holden pages. Thanks for watching! Contact me here: Etsy: www.etsy.com/s... Facebook/Messenger: Gayle Greenfield-Agostinelli Email: gayle.agostinelli@gmail.com
The papers really inspire me to make another journal... maybe a vintage one. That will be number 15.... not that the stash is going down much. 😲❣️🌿 Joie
Love your videos, spent the whole day binge watching them. I especially like the craft with me videos (not that I can take my eyes off the screen to craft with you). Looking forward to watching more and so glad there are so many towatch.
I have several vintage Edith Holden books, but dont think i could use them in my journaling. Even if they were falling apart I'd have to use scanned copies. Her art is beautiful. So is yours. Oh...did you know Edith Holden drown in the Thames when she slipped gathering while gathering chestnut tree buds.
And she was only 49 years of age when she drown. So sad. So much more beauty was in that fabulous mind of her dont you think? But we did get what we have here and I'm ordering another of her books or maybe 2. I adore her works
Marlene Jones I just bought her 2 books. I need a duplicate of both of them. I don’t want to loose any of her artwork and don’t want to photocopy any of it.
Great ideas, love watching you craft, I can’t craft with you I might miss a stitch. For some reason I can’t do housework while holding my iPad, isn’t that just so sad. ❤️
Comment #4 .... I suggest putting a popsicle stick or something like that at the end of the wide washi after each use. Then it would never get stuck back down to the roll. I do this with a large paper clip on my packing tape. It’s easy to remove when I need to use it. Hope that helps!
I like to spread a little cream colored paint thinly on a paper plate, use bubble wrap as a stamp, and dab paint on the serendipity paper before I cut it into tags. It knocks back some of the bolder patterns in the paper. Oh, wait- I use a script stamp and permanent ink to randomly stamp first. I did the same thing with my Frayed Burlap ink pad. Argh!
Gayle, found you recently. Love it. I'm a watercolor artist and a journal maker. I have that same Edith Holden book, but not brave enough to use it. Went to Hobby Lobby today, all your fault. LOL
Gayle, I really do love listening to and watching you. I was ironing about 50 strips of muslin fabric I tea dyed yesterday so I can stamp on them. It took me both your videos and a few others to get through ironing them all! I love seeing all the ideas and combos you come up with too. Thanks once again for sharing your humor and knowledge and imagination. Thanks for keeping me company too!
Hi Gayle, i don't think i could ever craft along with you because i don't want to miss a thing your doing! i might be the only one out here, but i never heard of Edith Holden before 😲 i will google her after watching this. i love your paper trimmer, it looks like it glides really well, i have a Fiskar one but might need to invest in one like you have. you really have a gift in being able to make us feel like we're right there with you, i enjoy hearing about your day as you create, going to costco, what you like from there, etc. just like friends chatting. maybe you will have a little Hobby Lobby haul to share 😉 i agree with whoever suggested you sell packets of your bits and pieces in your etsy shop! "Gayle's Goody Packs!!" i love how everything turned out, thanks so much for all the inspiration 💕
Hi Jenny1. No it’s not the Izze drink. It’s Sparkling ICE flavored water. It’s in a tall plastic bottle. I don’t like the plastic bottle aspect, but I love the water! Hugs my friend! ❤️
Love all the old books and illustrations... why can’t we scan and print old book pages and save the originals? Just courteous. I have some very old, but fragile cook books that I’d love to use but a copy would be so much more durable in a journal.
Gayle, my independent art store had to send back a shipment of Uhu stic because people kept on bringing the product back because it wouldn't stick....it may be the matte medium...but I just wanted to let you know. Love your craft with me and maybe, if you are going to sew a lot to put your camera on the side; that was a nice view. Take care.
Very beautiful Gayle, this one thing I need to do also, I have several collaged sheets and just have not got around to cutting them in to tags. I need to move that up on my list because its something I really want to finish. Thank you Gayle! : )
Now I'm going nuts. I know this is a year old but you have tripped my trigger. Lol I have leaves on my Brother machine and I have 2 types. So now I'm going to let loose. But I'm still waiting on my Edith book. Its the edwardian lady book. I'm upset as it was shipped 8 days ago. How long doest it take to get to Wi from DE? My word. You have made my day with the sewing on her lovely pages. Rock on dear lady. Oh and the leaves on that page is stunning. Just wonderful Gayle. Oh my i loved the Birdbox, it's a thriller. Im so,sorry this is long but today I learned so much about making my own ephemera. I did the collage board like you did. I'm so very pleased. You and Pam from Paper Outpost and Nik have taught me much. But you are way more in depth. Thank you thank you Gayle I would not have anything to,put in a journal if not for,your teachings.
Loved this video, ouch with that washi tape you need muscles on muscles trying to pull some paper off that roll. Love the Edith pages, great way to make pockets. I must see if I can get my hands on a copy. enjoy your Saturday afternoon. No idea of the time difference between us. Take care xxxxx
I'm more than two years late watching this video. You have so many lovely projects that I have yet to watch. I love all of the pages and how you cut and emblsheledd them. Love all.of your videodthat I've seen you make. Keep them coming and maybe one day I'll catch up and see them all. Lol !! I love your videos and they never bore me even if I dont craft along with you. I'd rather watch and save my faviorites to watch again as I craft with you !!
I have this same sewing machine. This video is a year old hopefully it’s still holding up, as I just started sewing with mine a month ago. I’ve had it for over a year but, it just sat in the box because I’ve never used a sewing machine before and I was super nervous. Your reverse stitching looks like it goes a lot smoother than mine. I do love all the stitches, especially for journals.
Your poor finger! I have one finger joint that seizes up sometimes. I was thinking about getting one of those deckle edged rulers to tear paper against to save that joint some work.
You're so inspiring..I just love watching you craft and you're so much fun to hang out with. I'm learning from you all the time. I love that leaf stitch. And I never mind when you use the sewing machine in your videos. I have a sewing machine now because of your work and all the ways you've shown me to use it.🤗🤗💜💜
Each time I watch your tutorial I discover even more of your great ideas. Today I am going to attempt to craft along with you as you suggest. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and tips
If you colored them in, I think your leaf stitches could pass for Christmas lights. I am surprised no one has come out with a line of washi with the edges already torn. What a time saver.
I finally decided to get online and buy a Edith Holden book. I got it and someone had cut ALL the birds out of every page that a bird was on. I knew it was used but the post said all pages in tact. Disappointed but I will still use it. Just the writing is neat so that’s good but man was I disappointed. I’m gonna buy another hopefully it will have birds too this time...
Gayle I just did some of the collage pages after watching you. I couldn't remember exactly how you did it so I tore around each scrap I used and then glued it on. It made for very soft edges. I then cut it into tags and even did a Tim Holts tag pocket. Thanks for the inspiration! XXAmy
Hi. Seeing Smith's name caught my attention. I'm Sandi Holden. I love Edith's art Work! Marvelous watercolours. I have all of her books and I could never take her books apart!
I have found an old book very reminiscent of the Edith Holden book. How do I know if I can scan it to sell or re-use the pages? It is beautiful and if I cannot scan it, I hate to cut it up.
I enjoyed this so much-learning all the way to use parts and pieces and thinking of more ways to use the bits and bobs that are left over!! My husband retires from the government at the end of this year, and we’re leaving Pennsylvania and moving west. We never had kids so don’t have to take that into consideration 😉my mother is still living and is my only living relative except for a cousin that lives where my mother does in Arkansas. My hubby hates anywhere there’s humidity-he’s from northern Idaho, and he wants to go back west for retirement. He only has one living relative-a brother-and wants to go closer to him. He left that area (he went to college in Cheney, WA at Eastern Washington University) in 1988 when he went to work for the Army as a civilian. We’ve spent months looking on real estate sites at homes in NM, AZ, UT, NV, ID, MT, WY, Western Nebraska, Eastern WA and Eastern OR. We hope to put our house on the market at the beginning of Summer, so my next home has to have a really great craft room with a lot of room for scraps!! Sorry to run your ear off! 😘
Fun fun, saved this for future reference lol yes!! We watched the movie and it was freaky but good!! Then last night we watched A Quiet Place, gee what's with these sensory bound movies...it was freaky too!! Not my usual kind but it had me on my toes 😱 Gayle, if we want to share a picture of our journal to you, where is the most appropriate place??
I so enjoy your video's. It's always like crafting with an old friend. Love everything you do. The Edith Holden book is the most beautiful book Of her's I've ever seen. What is the name of it?
Hi Gayle thanks for another amazing and inspiring creative session, who doesn't love Edith Holden Your paper and scrap selection are so amazing, I love the way you can just lay your hand on pieces that work so beautifully together, I don't have too many to choose from, but enjoy seeing the ideas you share I have also watched Bird Box, love Sandra Bullock in anything! It's an interesting story, very well done and she is great in the part as are the children. Can you share where you bought the wide roles of wash tape?
Love all your ideas, I even got my sewing machine out to try seeing paper.. is there a certain pressure foot you use or width of ur stitches ? And do u use black or brown thread ? Thank you for shearing.. I’m saving all you tutorials ..
Mona Kempton I don’t use a special needle and just the normal settings on the stitch length. And I try to use thread that shows up well on what I’m making...so often times brown is a good color! ❤️
Hi Gayle, catching up on your videos again! It is 10:10 pm here in Upstate New York and I'm playing with my scraps along with you. Loving this "Re-Imagined Scraps" series. Hope to see more.....Cyndi M.
Hi Gayle 💖 You are amazing❣❣❣🙏👍 Great and beautiful ideas👍❣ I watch your every video,bat I don't always comment. Love and Peace from Germany my girlfriend 💖💋🕊🕊🐇🐰👍👍
Thank you Gayle, if I lose my mojo I just sit and spend some time with you and wow I am energised again. Despite the 43 c degrees heat here in Australia I’m back on track. Using up my scraps is so liberating. 😘🎉🎉🎉
Haven’t used much Washi tape but tearing it gives it different look on the tag or envelope...thanks for adding to my techniques I can use for a more finished look...love Edith Holden she gave us so much...I have done some botanical art and love her pages...she took time to enjoy what was around her...I first saw her book in a nature sketching workshop❤️🌻🐇
Always such fun ideas!! You are simply amazing, my friend. It was so nice to be able to come spend some time with you. Thank you for all the inspiration, sending you biiiiig hugs! Muah! Xoxo..
Wow, SO much fun at one time! Fabulous video, Gayle! You really create such beauty with those Eden Holden pages!! Loved the collage pages/tags. Loved the January EH page for the Winter's Tale signature center! Looking forward to watching you create that journal. The only thing better than watching you design that journal is if I win it, first!🙏☺ One has not seen a true artist at work until one watches the craft artist tear the edges of washi tape to get "the look!" Lol!! 😘 Love watching your work! What a gift you give to the crafting community! As always, TFS!!! ❤
I so enjoy watching your videos. And I also love the sparkling Ice water - if I have it in the house that's the first thing my grandkids grab to drink!
Journals do take a lot of time....but it’s total enjoyment time! I know you think so, too. I watch every video, but I don’t always comment (I don’t know how you make the time to respond to us all!) and today I’ve chatted three times!
I love Edith Holden and how you used her book today. I bought one and fell so in love with the book that I could not bear to tear it apart. So of course I purchased another! Alas, it has fallen to the same fate as the first. Lol. But you have inspired me to cut in with gusto! As always love your craft with me videos and can’t wait to see what you do with the lucky giveaway winner. Thanks for your generosity!
Thanks, Gayle, for the inspiration and company while crafting. I only got 3 tags and 2 pockets done and no sewing, but that's something, I guess. Always fun spending time with you! TFS!
Your ideas for using scraps is so amazing I never thought to use scraps the way you show us just loving it and it giving me so many more ideas thank you
I love LOVE(!) what you’re doing here Gayle!! Throwing the Edith Holden writing on the franken papers is beautiful! If you do put acetone in your Fabri-Tac, can you show how you do it? Maybe share what you’ve learned from doing it? Thank you for sharing your awesome ideas. 😁💜📚
Gayle what is the paper trimmer your using? I have a smaller one but it’s always tearing the paper. I have a guillotine which is good but you know...lol..this is the second time watching this as the first time I missed to much because I was crafting at the same time..I love Edith holdens books but mine r in good nick and can’t bring myself to cutting them up..love watching your work it’s so inspiring..
diane sample My cutter is an old Fiskars. I’m not sure if they even make the model anymore. It has the round blade like a rotary cutter. I got it years ago at Joanns. ❤️
