I kind of wish no one had pointed out the harmonica/accordion word mix up... I could tell you were happy and proud to have learned a new word (and how to pronounce it so beautifully) in a 2nd language that I would have hated to be the one to burst your enthusiasm bubble! Your pronouncination is perfect BTW! Learning a new language as an adult is not easy and learning English is one of the harder languages to learn, so I admire how well you have done! Oh, and the book is really cool too!
Oh Fairy I was thinkin the same thing... I ADORED the word harmonica and it made PERFECT sense to me... it is actually a very correct word and description of that GORGEOUS book. :-) When I speak spanish (poorly I might add) I do worry about how silly I sound but then I fall back on the fact that it isnt my first language. Also, I am by trade an American Sign Language Interpreter for the Deaf and although I am fluent, the Deaf Community still says they can easily spot a non-native signer. Same with most other languages any of us attempt. The bottom line is, did communication happen? Cool! Did anybody die? Sweet! Was there a few chuckles at my way of speaking or signing? Of course! But they always spot a good heart, a genuine attempt to connect and nothing else matters. I can not say just how endearing Marta is, her sweet phrases and pure joy she shares so openly with us. I feel as if she is talking directly to me and I feel so blessed she shares so much. We lucky folks, huh!? :-) @maremismallart, #maremismallart
I like how you show us both when it goes smoothly and when it doesn't go so smoothly and tell us what was hard for you - it is incredibly inspiring and energizing!!
GENIUS TECHNIQUE! it looks super easy, and you demonstrated it very well. i like that this binding makes each page double sided, and how each page is still complete, without any holes or anything. i might consider binding some of my old loose leaf sketches like this! (btw that accordion fold is ALSO GENIUS. so quick!! the way id normally do a fold like that would take literally forever, i will now be using this method for the rest of my life lol!!)
I simply love watching your video and I resonate with your comments about “it does not have to be perfect”. It is a great reminder to just enjoy the journey. You’ve explored a method which you think would work, not as easy as you thought initially but when you finally got it, I felt your joy! Thank you 👏🏽
Awesome idea! And don’t worry about you videos being long, personally I like them. You give a lot of useful advise and now I’m dying to buy some supplies to start my own art journal.
This video is completely charming. I love the way you get so excited by your results! The journal turned out perfect and I plan to use this idea in the future.
Such a good tutorial..... You make me want to run into my craft room and start creating....if I could only tear myself away from watching you! Thank you for the harmonica book. It's my new favourite thing to try X
Love your creativity! I have watched quite a few of your videos and love the way u teach but more enjoy your art.. Its very flowy and casual and the end results are amazing.. Thank u 😊
12 points Harmonica... 12 points flap....Marta you're the winner... I love the Harmonica binding so much..thanks for your idea and video... have a nice weekend sweetie...
That´s it! English is my second language too and I decided to call it Harmonica fold from now and on : ) Thank you Martha, I love this bookbinding style that´s so much easier than others. I´ll give it a try
I loved this so much! I feel like your calm attitude to working with your art makes everything so lovely. Also this idea is so freaking creative, it's very impressive! Much love 💞
wow Marta this is great, I love the fact you it's easy and simple. when it gets complicated I tend to leave it, so thanks for making my life so much easier 😊
You might think ur little difficulty to grasp the english language sometimes is a turn off but truly it always bring a smile to my face & makes ur videos more memorable than others :) Harmonica made this video not only the very instructive & entertaining but also unforgettable!
I am from this day forward going to call this fold a Harmonica fold.. I love the word and I think it is perfect.. Thank you my dear for your awesome binding method.. Hugs to you..
I am so excited about the binding! I probably won't sleep. I've got to get some painting done! In your honor, my book will forever be called harmonica book. You are such a love, your art shows your love and so does your beautiful personality! I did the envelope lesson, I loved it, just have to bind. Thanks for bringing this excitement to my life! Love and hugs!
Amazing I love all of the art pages and your right you could attach it with all kinds of various binding methods so this is great to see another way of doing things.
I loved this and now I know what to do with my pages of mixed media art!!! I have to check out your envelope video too!!! Thanks so much for doing this for us - I love, love, love it!!! Big Hugs and blessings to you always!!!
Maremi, you always inspire me. I have been looking for a simple effective binding system for my photo journals and once again you have shown me the way. Much happiness and success to you in 2019.
I did really and truly love the tutorial on making the Harmonica folder. I often wondered as a non mixed media creator , what would you do with the pieces when they are finished and how to store them , but i loved loved loved the folder you made to show off your pieces. I think mixed media is so liberating or free where you can use anything and create something wonderful !! So thank you xx
Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial! I nearly gave up in despair as other tutorials require sewing but your idea saved the day! You are my art hero!! 💖
I love watching all of your videos. You are such an encourager and you inspire me so much. I am amazed at how good your English is. Thank you for sharing your talent.
So clever, especially at the end how it's attached and yet not fully, making it very accessible. And by the way, accordions and harmonicas sound great together - they make creative music...So no problem 😆
I just love everything about your videos. You are absolutely brilliant. Your charming speech and your wonderful comments are so refreshing. You should be so very proud of yourself for speaking English as a second language and doing it so very well. The little mistakes you make, add to the pleasure I get out of spending time watching you. I love, love, love it and you
this is just what i needed for my scrapbook lose pages binding...i was struggling with it..as scrapbook has so many elements...and traditional binding was not serving the purpose...everypage has its individuality yet they are together...thanks a lot ma'am for such cost effective ideas. love them
You are reading my mind:) I am starting to have few loose pages and was thinking aboout looking for tutorial:) So thanks Marta, when I get enough pages, I'll try to do accordion book:) Did I say thank you,:) I have to say also that what I love about you apart your talent is the fact that you encourage people so much/ I feel like not too much lately and when I listen to you I feel better, if only for a while:) I risk to show my "art" to others because of you, so for that I will be always grateful!
Thank you so much ! ❤❤❤ I would love to invite you to see my newest video: th-cam.com/video/sbcg_QgS8Pg/w-d-xo.html art journaling is back! Have a lovely day! ❤❤❤
I just watched this video, and think it is delightful, both in your presentation and the content. Love all your pages. I am seriously considering making something like this, now that I have seen how you did it. Love your style, very friendly and helpful.
Hi there,a new, wonderful way to bind my pages together, thank you, Marta. I love this method because with my glue gun, a cereal box, and some paper, I'm basically good to go. Watching the glitches (cheap tape, difficult book cover), you have cleared the way for others who can learn about the tough issues and hopefully bypass them (I think I'll gesso and paint my cover instead-lol). Wonderful outcome and fun seeing your "break a page" series. Jane
Oh, Marta! You're so adorable. I've been watching your more recent tutorials and then I stumbled across this little gem. I adore your spirit for learning, your artistic eye, your lovely voice and accent in speaking English. To me, it is very soothing. You are absolutely precious. I love your audience, too. They are all so sweet and supportive. I think from now on, I too shall call accordians harmonicas!
You are so sweet and you really got me interested in this type of art. I have already made 2 of my family members something and graduation card and I am not starting on a journal. thank you for the inspiration. And btw you said the right word it is a harmonica fold. I watch your video's constantly keep making more!!
I always always Love watching your videos it always brightens my day. You are one very talented lady and stop giving yourself a hard time you are one of the most honest people on you tube what is does is shows us you are one of us....lol THANKYOU😍💚😎💜
So beautiful will have to defiantly try this next time I make a journal also cant wait to save pennies to buy your stickers and stencils.. Your work is amazing and your videos are so calming xxx
It is definitely better to see the whole process. I'm going to make a HARMONICA book myself ....love you Marta because you so REAL and I really love that about you.
You “harmonized” your beautiful art, so in this case, harmonica was a great word. Sometimes “mistakes” can help us see things in a different way. Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas and resolution to challenges.
I tune you on my tv . I can see so much more detail. Love your work and soothing voice ! You are my inspiration and I only started this new craft because of you ! You make me feel I can make NO mistakes ! I had fear to try this until you came along !! Thank you for allowing God to use your loving heart and spirit to reach out to others !!!
This is perfect. I’ve been wondering how I could put my scrawler box papers together. This is perfect. Thank you so very much Marta. Wonderful as always. CherieK 🦋🌈
I have watched this over and over, because it caught my interest. I was afraid to try it, though, because once you commit your pages to that tape, that is it. I belong to Art Journal Prompts-hosted by Nina Ribena. Each of my pages are single 6x7 pages that I have been putting three holes in and holding them together with three metal rings, (I dislike the metal rings) and decided to put my weeks together using your accordion method. I used 4.5x11" strips of scrapbook paper folded into half and then half again. How scary the process was, but it turned out well. I still will have to add weeks 22-26 when they are done, but I am not afraid now. I will do the final bind when the 26th week is done. That will make 26 weeks out of 52 and then I will do the same with the remaining 26 weeks in book 2. Thank you so much for demonstrating this method and repeating the mantra "Don't be afraid, be brave."
This is awesome idea and simple. Love it. Now I can put together my bigger tags. Must give it a go. Thank you for sharing and daring to try something new. 😀👍💕💕💕
This is so clever! Your voice is so lovely! (And I shall always think of it as harmonica in the future! A much more "harmonic" word than accordion.) Your videos have brightened my winter! Congratulations on the new little member of your family and much happiness!
Thanks for this. It will be great for me to use when I do my memory books where I have lots of things I have kept from special events each year - so lots of odd/single pages to bind.
I kind of wish no one had pointed out the harmonica/accordion word mix up...

all I can say is THANK YOU xoxoox for always being there ! xx
Thank you oxoxoxox :)
well said! we all knew what she meant!
but it is these small goofs that are soooo endearing to us!!!!!
I like how you show us both when it goes smoothly and when it doesn't go so smoothly and tell us what was hard for you - it is incredibly inspiring and energizing!!
Judith Montel thanks a bunch ♡
@@MaremiSmallArt do you have a video on the other envelope book you made?
@@windywednesday4166 I also want to watch it if she has.
You are brilliant! I’ve added this method to my saved videos!!❤️
Oh my gosh! There are so many stunningly beautiful pages in that book. I totally love the "creativity is good for the soul" one.
GENIUS TECHNIQUE! it looks super easy, and you demonstrated it very well. i like that this binding makes each page double sided, and how each page is still complete, without any holes or anything. i might consider binding some of my old loose leaf sketches like this!

You make me happy. Your abandon and joy is inspiring. Thank you for sharing with us.
I love your outlook on art! You just try things as you go, I feel like that's how art should be! You're so happy and upbeat and easy to listen to!
Awesome idea! And don’t worry about you videos being long, personally I like them. You give a lot of useful advise and now I’m dying to buy some supplies to start my own art journal.

What a fantastic idea, and it doesn't matter how thick the pages are. Love, love, love it.
You make me smile, I love the way you describe what you are doing. I also love the end result. x
I love the way your book turned out. Very cute Marta.
Thanks, Marta! Finally, a simple book to make. I have seen so many that are far too difficult to do. This is great!
Wow!! Great idea! So creativity done! Love your videos!

Thank you so much ! ❤❤❤

Kim Sumrack let me check... I was Google it before but maybe got it wrong lol
yes you are right lol
well :) that what happens when english is not your first language :)
oh and thanks for letting me the 'silly goose' know :)
That was sooooo cute! Especially since you even went to google to get the right pronunciation lol.
You are not a silly goose you were right with the Harmonica fold....you are so sweet ♥
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for, thank you for the idea and your English is perfect.
YOU ROCK MARTA GIRL, THANK YOU FOR SHARING.💖 CONGRATULATIONS

THANKYOU😍💚😎💜
I am so enjoying all of your videos! Thank you so much for making them 😊.
Could also mean concertina!
I love it, what a great way to keep all those single pages together 😀
You are brilliant Marta, so glad I found you!
I have learned so much from your videos ,thank-you.
So beautiful will have to defiantly try this next time I make a journal also cant wait to save pennies to buy your stickers and stencils.. Your work is amazing and your videos are so calming xxx
love your accordion art book....looks great!!
Such a wonderful idea! I wanted to know how to bind single sheets! Thanks you Marta x
Love this too. This is the best idea for displaying my art. It’s interactive which I love.
This is gorgeous. Now I know how to bind single sheet Gelli prints. The best single sheet binding I have seen.
It is definitely better to see the whole process. I'm going to make a HARMONICA book myself ....love you Marta because you so REAL and I really love that about you.
I will never call an accordian fold an accordian fold ever again......from now on it's "harmonica" for me. That was adorable. I love your videos!
fabulous! once again you inspire me 💖
You “harmonized” your beautiful art, so in this case, harmonica was a great word. Sometimes “mistakes” can help us see things in a different way. Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas and resolution to challenges.
I love this video! It was so clear and was so helpful to me. I have a project due in a few days and now I know what to do! Thank you!
I love this idea. you made it so easy to do.
I tune you on my tv . I can see so much more detail. Love your work and soothing voice ! You are my inspiration and I only started this new craft because of you ! You make me feel I can make NO mistakes ! I had fear to try this until you came along !! Thank you for allowing God to use your loving heart and spirit to reach out to others !!!
This is perfect. I’ve been wondering how I could put my scrawler box papers together. This is perfect. Thank you so very much Marta. Wonderful as always. CherieK 🦋🌈
I have watched this over and over, because it caught my interest. I was afraid to try it, though, because once you commit your pages to that tape, that is it. I belong to Art Journal Prompts-hosted by Nina Ribena. Each of my pages are single 6x7 pages that I have been putting three holes in and holding them together with three metal rings, (I dislike the metal rings) and decided to put my weeks together using your accordion method. I used 4.5x11" strips of scrapbook paper folded into half and then half again. How scary the process was, but it turned out well. I still will have to add weeks 22-26 when they are done, but I am not afraid now. I will do the final bind when the 26th week is done. That will make 26 weeks out of 52 and then I will do the same with the remaining 26 weeks in book 2.

Absolutely a joy to watch and listen to you
You are adorable! I will call it a harmonica fold from now on! Love it!
I love this idea. It’s really lovely❣️
OMG your journal pages are beautiful!!!!!
This is awesome idea and simple. Love it. Now I can put together my bigger tags. Must give it a go. Thank you for sharing and daring to try something new. 😀👍💕💕💕
What a fantastic idea! This is exactly what I’m looking for! Thank you!
This is so clever! Your voice is so lovely! (And I shall always think of it as harmonica in the future! A much more "harmonic" word than accordion.) Your videos have brightened my winter! Congratulations on the new little member of your family and much happiness!
Thanks for this. It will be great for me to use when I do my memory books where I have lots of things I have kept from special events each year - so lots of odd/single pages to bind.
You do a very nice job explaining all of your steps I enjoyed watching the entire video.
