Oh Nina ... I’ve never been so delighted to weald an iron ! I found some beautiful celestial maps and vintage botanical prints and they look stunning. Supper might be late again tonight ....
Haha I was yelling no no,pick that paper. Lol such beautiful papers and such fun. New subbie from this...love it and omg that was a wonderful experiment. I adore vellum paper and I will be buying that iron and candles...how fun this was. I'm so amazed. I was sittin in my chair screaming.
Thanks so much for your lovely comment Marlene. I love how the vellum looks in projects and its lovely to be able to make my own designs. Happy Creating 💕
I love this diy vellum paper! It seemed like every one you did got better and better. I think my favorite was your collage paper. It comes out so clear, and the vintage look is gorgeous. I can’t wait to see more of these lovely journals! 😘
Good morning nina, did not know you could make paper transparent in such an easy way, I am going to try this today, since it is a grey morning with rain( wich by the way makes my garden sing) Do I like your journals...I do.. like you saud, the simplicity makes them beautiful. What came to my mind was to fill them with poems , so you see, the journals speak to me, thank you for the inspiration you gave me today, have a good week, stay safe and see you next sunday again . Love lena xxx
Hello Lena. I have tried making velum before using baby oil, and it was horribly greasy. Then I saw Eva from Bohemian crafting make it a few elks ago using furniture wax. Unfortunately this method didn’t work for me as my wax has turpentine in it and the smell was too overpowering. I loved how translucent my papers had become when I tried my hand at encaustic earlier on the year and that was what gave me the idea to use beeswax and candles. I just love how these papers turned out. I like the idea of adding poems to the one journal, and I may just do that 💕. Stay safe and have a wonderful week 💕 xxxx
Lovely. Do you ever see a technique you love, but can't imagine using in your own work? But it's always good to know in case you should have a place it becomes the way to go. I do love the effect, however.
This technique is so intriguing! I didn't know you could make your own vellum paper, but now I have to try it. It's so creative when you use your own papers, too. Thanks, Nina. I love your channel.
Nina you have my brain spinning!!! Would you please try batiking on the paper? Basically you would let the wax dry crinkle it up dry it in whatever and then iron off the wax. I bet it would look amazing
You are nailing the Nature Theme this month!! I love these dyed papers but then the wax coating just makes them the best. I also was drawn to your master board copy and how it turned out with the wax. Thanks so much for your great ideas and sharing. I love how you stress using what we have and not just running to the store for every little “new” gadget or technique. -Marsha from Texas
Your journals are more and more beautiful. I have not played with wax to make vellum, but after seeing how beautifully yours came out, I may give it a try. Thanks Nina, have a great week.
The vellum papers turned out beautifully. I’ve tried a couple of different methods in the past, but this is the one that has worked the best for me. Happy creating and have a lovely week 💕 x
Both of these journals are absolutely beautiful and I loved how you used the wax to transform the papers. What a wonderful project. Many thanks as ever.
I had watched this before then couldn't remember where...so found it again. I am delighted all over again and can't wait to try it out. I saw people using baby oil which was also effective but when I tried and put against other papers the oil leached out. I am sure the wax wont do that. I love your style and presentation.
I love this idea so much ! Adore your journals ! I should be sleeping but my mind keeps wanting to go work on my journal. Now I watch this and want to go play ! Lol !! TFS !! Stay safe !!
Lots of great things there! The vellum worked out so good. Nice to see those dutch pages from Elaine pop up. Both of your journals are becoming really awesome.
I have seen so many other "vellum" techniques that were super messy and/or greasy/oily.I really like this and can't wait for tomorrow to try it out! TFS. You do such lovely work, love your art!
I do so much like the colour palette of this journal with the pressed flowers look. The faux vellum technique will be practiced today! Thanks a bunch!✌️🙏🇨🇦👍🐝
Wow! Just wow. What a great way to change the papers and your journals are looking great. Don’t be so hard on yourself about the sewing, I thought it was totally in keeping with the pocket! Have a good week Nina, stay safe 💕💫
I’m so pleased with the results. I tried making vellum a long time ago using baby oil, but the pages were much too greasy and didn’t really dry out properly. I don’t think I will ever be able to sew in a straight line 😂💕
Thank you so much Nina, I really really love 💕 the pure simplicity of those gorgeous and stunning journals, the waxing of those papers is really really helpful and useful too. And the words, I’ve missed that, I’ll have to go into the Facebook group, and save those words. There’s nothing wrong with you sewing 🧵 as far as I’m concerned, and I really do a lot of sewing 🧵. Stay safe and well too xxx Mags always
Thank you so much Maggie. I’m not very good at sewing in a straight line. Alex’s sewing is so straight and beautiful. He makes it look so easy, but that silly phobia of mine is still lurking! I’ve pinned the words in the announcements under the group banner, but if you search Ann Johnson phrase sheet, you will find it that way too. Have a lovely week 💕
That was so fun to watch, I felt like a kid at a magic show!! Thank you so very much, I have to try this technique. The only other video of you that I have seen is the dying one, which taught me a lot. Binging all your other videos is now on my list. So much to learn!!
I loved watching these videos.... I went back and watched the dying video before this one.... so many ideas! After watching this it's no wonder I don't sleep...lol. I am dying to try these techniques no pun intended. I am so thankful that I found you through the BOHO prompts last month. Your projects are fun and I learn so much! Laura m 🦋
Thank you SOOO much! You have opened up a new chapter in my mixed media art knowledge and I can use this technique in my junk journals! A big hug and thank you from me in Tunbridge Wells! X
Gorgeous, gorgeous, GORGEOUS! Genius, genius, genius! Love the homemade vellum technique! Love the masterboard vellum the most!!! Love the journals! Love the tip about gluing the pocket! Love you!😂 TFS. I did. God bless and stay safe.😁🙏
Awww, thank you so much for your kind words Evelyn. Yes, I like the Masterboard paper the best too. Thank you as always for sharing. Have a wonderful week 💕
Oooh this technique worked like a dream, those papers are awesome, I have lots of beeswax, the collage masterboard looked so gorgeous... ❤️❤️👌🏻 And so happy you were able to use some of the Dutch text pages I sent you.... I love what you did with them too and your journals are very special xx ❤️❤️❤️🌷🌷🌷
The decorated paper you tried the waxing on was gorgeous. I loved the look of putting the ‘velum’ treatment paper on top of the original. It almost gave a 3D or shadow effect. I can hardly wait to try with some of my favs. Thank you!!!!🎀
Wonderful Nina as always. I love the lace on the spine. Who knew how easy to make vellum. I'm looking forward to seeing these two journals fill up with the loveliness you always create. I just had a thought, maybe you could put melted wax through a stencil and make a pattern on a page.
Thank you. I did try this with my Autentico white furniture wax, but the pages were not very transparent. The pages also had a very strong smell because of the turpentine in it. I would like to get hold of some pure beeswax polish and try it again though. Happy Creating 💕
OH MY GOODNESS!!! I'm drooling!!! I'm new to journaling and yet to even make a master board, but after seeing yours, has made me want to make some and then turn them to faux vellum. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!❣️❣️❣️🥰🥰🥰
So glad I found your channel! Your work is very special...just gorgeous!!! I am new to junk journaling and I enjoy it so much! I will check out your tutorials to learn and get inspiration! Thank you so much! 🌻🦋
Look wonderful! Here is you nearly finished two books and I’m still doing cover on my tiny one 😂.The mad professor strikes again with the experimenting 😂😘X
Well got to offer some alternatives 😂. I tried it with baby oil a few years ago, but the paper was horribly oily. Also tried Eva’s wax polish method, but mine had turpentine in it and the smell was awful. So pleased with the results 💕 x
Love the waxed effect of the papers Nina .. totally enthralled with that . Your Journals are wonderful . As always your attention to detail and sense of co-ordination is faultless . Off to look for those words ... missed that in group. Thank you . Have a good week. Kay x
Hi Nina,👋.I love how your journals are going on. The waxed paper ....WOW ..... p.s I wrote to you on messenger ,when you ‘ve got a moment.....thank you.
Love your demo of making different papers , very interesting . In the video your papers don't look homemade , seen some like them in shops and they were quite expensive . Great lesson. Thank you Nina
That was fantastic Nina, I have done this before and loved it but as always I forget about it. This is why it's great to show and revisit techniques even it we have been done before as each time it can have a new twist to it or a fresh new look. Thanks so much again.
I have used wax on embellishments but thought of doing an A4 that's now going to be my next project. Thank you. Great videos. I always look forward to them and on a sunday. X
I used beeswax to strengthen my threads for beading. I just ran the thread through the wax. Loved mine. My husband would run his screws in it. Helps in cabnit making. Makes them go through the wood better and lock it in.
Love the paper. The wax process was so interesting. Looking forward to trying a few pieces. Your ideas, suggestions and tips are always helpful to be motivated and creative. Love the journals. They are so unique and exquisite.
The journals are gorgeous. Thank you for this great tutorial, never thought it would be so easy to make paper like vellum, I love the master board and the words sheets you did. They came out amazing.
Great video. Funny, I’d just done this with shaved tea light candle and a heat gun yesterday. I’d been thinking of getting a bag of the encaustic medium so this was very timely. Using the iron from the beginning seems easier than melting the was and brushing it on.
