You have the best tutorials of anybody on TH-cam I love how you do the project and then add the audio later it’s very professional it’s easy to understand and by the way you’re very very talented I really enjoy every video I’ve seen so far
Great tutorial, I got a lot of ideas from you for my first book! I also wanted to see how you would attach the pages inside to the cover. Do you have a tutorial on that please? 🌺
A really useful tutorial Marina. Once I had applied the black paint and it didn't turn out as envisaged, I would have abandoned it but the difference was amazing after adding the purple and Inca gold. It has inspired me to resurrect some of my 1/2 finished but abandoned projects. Thanks so much.
Oh, that makes me so happy Gill! Thank you! Sometimes I let things go for a little while but I always come back to them too! I wanted to see if I could make It into something good, and it turned out great!
Awesome journal idea! The black you used for the cover worked really well for enhancing the lovely violet color. Had you not used black, the violet wouldn't have looked so good. Excellent tutorial!
I love this! I find tissue paper really difficult to use though. Ours tends to hold air pockets and is hard to control so i use paper towel wet with watered down pva glue etc then finish the top layer with tissue. Works better for me.
And omg I love it I can’t wait til I make mine I’m actually thinking about going to get the supplies to make it today but I don’t know how to add pages to stay.
You are an excellent teacher and I really enjoy your videos as well! A question, if one was to put two layers of cereal box cardboard together, would you recommend using glue or two sided tape?
I really enjoyed this Marina, thank you so much...definitely going to watch your hidden signature tutorial next! Do you print out most of your lil inserts, etc. on card stock...or buy pre-made packs? Both perhaps lol...sorry just really want to learn how to do this. Must be super expensive to start out getting so many wonderful adornments & supplies!? Hope you have a great night....errr day lol. Gah, guess I should go to bed! ♥
You're so welcome! Thank you too! I printed my inserts for this one on copper parchment! That way I don't need to dye it and it always looks great in a book of shadows. I started crafting out of a shoe box. It took me a while to learn what was important and what could wait. I learned of places wit great bargains and places I could go to buy to recycle things. Butterbeescraps.com has great metals for a good price. Wish.com sells many cheap but good quality craft supplies, Yard sales are great to find old jewelry and books! Goodwill has a lot of cheap books you can repurpose, alter, or gut to make into journals. Those are just some tips so you can save some money and time. I hope they help!
Thank you so so much for taking of your time to give me all of these tips....they are absolutely helpful! Sending hugs, and many prayers for grandma~ Christina ❤
great tutorial. Even though I have been making JJ's for years, I still love to watch really good tutorial videos. I always learn something new. I am going to make a modified Book of shadows and by that I mean the content will be more goth related. I have never made one before. Molding the tissue paper and sewing thru it is brilliant. Also FYI DecoArt has a product called "Metallic Luster" Exactly like InkaGold only cheaper. Excellent product. Question, where is the best place to buy the closure you used? Also another FYI lol to cover the holes on the metal use small flat-back black pearls.
If you mean to add paper in general then yes. I would recommend making a signature. If you are wanting to add onto the journal then sewing or gluing would work as well.
Thank you for sharing !! This is Stunning
Fantastic information and I thank you for sharing! Pray tell…what is the music?

What is to keep the alcohol ink from rubbing off the metal?
Sorry for all the post but what are you doing to the edges of the black paper , pls
How do you add your paper bonding to the cover?
Hola! Como se ponen las hojas ?
How do I add the paper to work on would you sew it In ?
If you mean to add paper in general then yes. I would recommend making a signature. If you are wanting to add onto the journal then sewing or gluing would work as well.
What kind of paper is your work surface
What is that kind of lock called
This is very pretty. It must have taken a lot of time to make the book and edit the video.
Why aren't you showing us how you get your paper in the book?
I've been colours faint you're using on this video to make this
Is book board chipboard ok, or official book board.
Good question, Cindy! Chipboard will work just as well!
mass produce these works of art and you become a millionaire..For sure.
