Thank you, this is a lovely video, its great to see someone journaling in their journal, I love the colours and the way you build the layers, beautiful, reminds me of the rugged walks we have here in Scotland x
What a lovely surprise at the end of your video, about your trip to Vancouver Island. I live on the island and it is beautiful, and I’m so happy you enjoyed your visit! Love your videos! Always get good inspiration and ideas. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Terrie! I can’t believe you live on those beautiful islands! Wow! Enjoy! 😃❤️
I always have an issue with collage, and this makes it look so easy! Thank you for taking the time to explain your thought process, it makes so much sense. I learned new tips too - the wet brush on the napkin technique as well as how to remove the two layers of the napkin!! Thank you :) I also love how you used the phrase from a book and used it as a cue for journaling. Thank you for mentioning my video. You are amazing, always crediting everyone. What a gem you are. Thank you. Oh, and no matter how much collaging I do, it will never look as stunning as what you did in this video!! Huge thumbs up!!
Treasure Books Aaaw, thank you so much Natasa! Your kind words mean a lot to me! Of course you can make a collage at least as good as mine! ❤️😊. I love using the book phrases since I saw your great video on them and I think I have referenced it in most of my recent videos 😂. Have a fabulous weekend 😘
Thank you for the Tip in wetting the Tissue instead of cutting. Very nice Spread.
I think collage is my favorite technique. I just love this spread and your journal entry so much. these snack bites are awesome, Barbara!
Hi Barbara! I love your page, it looks like it's meant to be, it all fits together so well! I live in Canada! I would think Austria must be so beautiful! TFS Hugs!
Thanks Marge! Austria is beautiful and so is Canada! 😊
Absolutely fantastic. I love your videos.
I never get tired of watching you do this type of collage.
Cheryl Miller Thank you Cheryl! ❤️
Absolutely lobving this collage page tfs , please do more xx
Carol Young Thank you, will do! ❤️
You are awesome!! Love your ideas!!
Very beautiful. Thank you for this video.
Sometimes creating a collage page is daunting to us beginners, but you make it look so easy and beautiful. Thank you!
Ari G Thanks Ari, I hope you give it a try! ❤️
Your pages turned out so pretty! Fun watching! TFS! 😊❤️
What a beautiful layout! You gave me some great ideas. Love the background!
I’m playing catch up with your videos. These pages are really lovely. What a fantastic canoeing experience.
Totally loved this page! ❤
Oooh, love that napkin-ripping trick! Also chuckled at "I cut this part out because it's boring to watch." Great video!
Really lovely collage! Thanks for the inspiration!
I love your collage and I really love how you find wonderful personal experiences to journal about from the book phrases. Everything about this page is just perfect!
RobinfromCA Aw, you are most kind, dear Robin, thank you so much! ❤️
Barbara, I used to go to school in Victoria , it was paradise. Thank you for bringing back this memory through your pages...greetings from Jakarta
Leila Chudori Hi Leila, wow, that really must have been paradise! I’m happy I was able to remind you of that time! Greetings to Jakarta! ❤️
Wow, Barbara! That was fabulous! I absolutely LOVE your page!!! 😍😍 Instead of making my first collage straight in my journal I’m going to practice a few times on random paper until I feel comfortable with it. I bought gesso a few weeks ago and I’ve been nervous to try it. But there is no time like NOW! (Well, not right this second....it’s bedtime! 🤪)
Marcia Porcelli Thanks Marcia. Yes, please give it a go and gesso is so fun to experiment with! Let me know how it goes! 😘❤️
Absolutely beautiful. I love your collage spreads, thanks so much for sharing.
Fit Kitty Thanks so much! ❤️
It's beautiful. So inspiring. I'm so glad I found you.
phennec thank you!! You should give it a try!
That was awesome Barbara!! It was so helpful with the order of layering and color! I did love seeing this mixed media video and hope to see more!
Nancy Smith Thank you Nancy! I promise to do more! ❤️
How wonderful. You make it look so easy and doable. Thank you for breaking down the art of collage. Loved the use of gesso to put the page together. Thanks!
Dawn Bish Thank you Dawn! I know what you mean 😊❤️
Wow Barb is all I can say!! This is absolutely gorgeous and inspiring for beginners like myself...
Thank you for sharing your awesome work and beautiful memories with us!
Lots of love from Kentucky❤
🌼This journal spread is perfection!🌼
Kelly Graham Lloyd Aaaaw, Thank you! You should try one of these!
What a wonderful spread!!! I love the fact that you make things look easy and you explain all the steps. Thanks. Bye the way amazing napkin!!!! 😊
mirella Nor Thank you Mirella! I’m so happy this was helpful! ❤️
I’m very happy to find out that I’m not the only one that doesn’t like odd shapes of paper for collaging. I guess I just like my shapes to be more uniform...they don’t have to be the same size shape, but I don’t want any wild edges. I really appreciate you taking the time to do this video...I’ve been struggling with ideas for decorating pages without resorting to tucks, flips or pockets.
Fabulous mixed media spread!
Lovely work really enjoyed watching this video. Tfs.❤️❤️❤️
Amazing video, Barbara, so informative! You've created a beautiful spread. Love your mixed media videos!
tynkiella Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! ❤️

peggydid Thank you Peggy, I hope you create your own version ❤️
I have a "spread" still in my July Junk Journal, and think I will do just that! I am making a recipe junk journal for a wedding gift. I'd like to see something food/recipe themed one time, if you're up to it!
I love all your videos! Hugs!
Beautiful pages!
Barbara, I loved your video. Hugs from Canada 🇨🇦 🥰 🤗 🥰
Thankyou, this was very helpful! I like things even and have struggled trying to use irregular shapes in collage. I also have some pretty napkins waiting to find their way onto pages for the first time. Love the colours and botanicals you chose :)
susankayej88 Thank you Susan. I hope you give this a try! ❤️
So excited when I realized that it was “video day”!!! Thanks for sharing your process and the lovely spread you created. I love collage and napkins and cut-outs! Heading to my craft room to have a go! 😊
Grenae Thompson Aw, thank you Grenae! 😘. I hope you had fun creating your collage as well! ❤️
49dragonflies You’re very welcome, Barbara! Yes, lots of fun, thanks!
Beautiful 💟
Hello Barbara, I love ❤️ love this page , beautiful.
Fern Anton Thank you Fern! ❤️
You’re the gesso queen!!! It’s a mystery to me, the art of gesso!
Hahah that’s a new one! 😂❤️
What a beautiful collage! I am utterly inspired... off to my art room. Thanks.
Sunnyside Journals Thank you! I hope you enjoyed making your own! ❤️
Those vintage flowers are amazing😍
I hope I'll find something similar
rita miller Thanks, fingers crossed that you do! ❤️
Beautiful, thank you
That’s so helpful, thank you 😊
Wow! This is so beautiful! I am looking forward to coming up with my own version in my FIRST junk journal. (I just made my first junk journal and I'm ready to use the gesso and napkins that just arrived; I already had all kinds of other ephemera. :) ) Thanks for the inspiration!
Becca Carrillo Thank you Becca! I’m so happy my videos are helpful! Enjoy creating your collage and other pages! ❤️
Love this,
Ms. Barbara, thank you for sharing your collaging/mixed media process today. Definitely a "dark hole" for me. Love that many digital artists are doing the collaging for us.! I'll keep at it though. TFS
Michelle Brown Thank you Michelle! Definitely keep at it!!!! 😊❤️
Thank you so much for the shoutout, I am incredibly flattered!! You have done such a wonderful job with this mixed media collage, particularly as yellow and green are my favourite colours. This is so beautiful xx
Crafty Coco Thank you Corrie! You know how much I adore your collages 😊
@@49dragonflies You are so incredibly kind!! 🥰
beautiful
I wished I’d have known about you 3 years ago!! I would love to have met you when you were here on Vancouver Island. I live about 45 minutes away from Victoria, BC.
That would have been fabulous! 🤗
😮 wow I will try to make some...have tried it but you gave me a lot inspiration and confidence in that I could make som. It doesn’t look so difficult. I miss some things on my wall in my new craft corner. But because my craft corner is in my bedroom I doesn’t want a lot of color but I will try to make some mixed media on some frames I have from Tiger. Thanks for all your beautiful sharing. Love from Denmark 🇩🇰
Korsgaard Journals Thank you! You certainly can do this too! Enjoy and greetings to Denmark! ❤️
Thank you so much for helping me to over come one of my fears when it comes to journaling. I'm struggling with so much with this journal. 😩
Donna Hunter I’m sorry you are struggling! It’s supposed to be fun 😊. Would you like to book a free 15 min Skype session with me? Maybe we can figure out why you are struggling.
Pretty
So beautiful sweetie 😍😍 I'm not using gesso on my collages, big mistake 😂 so I'll try this... with one of your amazing napkin 😜 love 😘❤
Béa R Thanks sweetie! Good luck and enjoy! 😘😘😘
This is definitely my style. Loves this page you made!! New subbie here also. Tfs.
TheVictorianEdge Thank you! I hope you find lots of inspiration here! ❤️
Love!@
Love this video with such a great project & also nice not to have all that happy mail sharing💕
Not understanding why you put so many things on the pages and then cover them all up. Is it done to make the pages thick? Love your colors and vintage looks. The best part was your memory of your summer day on the island, loved that! I hope you ad special memories all through your journals. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Lynda! I do the layering first to get some interest on the page and to get more texture. Usually the page gets a life of its own and you never know how it’s going to turn out 😃.
Ooooo lovely collage spread ❤️❤️❤️ I'm enjoying my collaging right now. 😁😁 I will check out who you mentioned as I'm not sure I've seen her work... I've been finding lots of inspiration on IG recently.. All good fun 🌹❤️😁🌼
Chattylaine Creates Thanks Elaine! I hope to see some of your collaging too! 😘
@@49dragonflies yes I hope so, I'm struggling getting the filming done as I'm trying to do it in the daytime and preferable outside but it keeps raining now.... Grrrr!! Silly weather!
Chattylaine Creates I hope it stops soon so you can film again! 😘
@@49dragonflies I got some done today then it started raining again so I had to stop... I'm just editing now! 😁😁😒☔🌼
This very pretty, I love ❤️it! I barely caught a glimpse of the door for cover! It’s fabulous! I was not able to watch the whole video, hoping to see it in the video.
Do you have a video about this door on your cover of your journal? I have left over balsa wood from a project, I figured that would work better.
Can you lead me the way to the video of the door, if you have one? Thanks for sharing.✌️😊
Thank you Amy! This beautiful door journal was made by Alison in the US. I have her IG name in the description box if the video.
Love making collages with napkins too and always have a hard time getting the back layer off.
Was that a piece of tape that you stuck on it to help remove it? Thanks
Wow Barbara , you do beautiful pages . I am real new to junk journaling , so I am really enjoying your videos . One thing I want to know is where do you get all your pages etc ? Any help you could give me would be a blessing
Thanks! A lot of the pages are from books I find in charity shops ☺️
😍
I just know you meant to put Vancouver Island which is where the city of Victoria is located. I love your videos by the way and I live on the north end of Vancouver Island.
Pat Redekopp Thanks Pat, haha, yes I did! What a wonderful place you live it! ❤️
Hi Barbara, is there a reason why you use glue stick for the napkins and not mod podge or something like that?
margreth blok Hi Margreth, glue stick is so much easier and less messy 😊. I will however be using mod podge in one of my next videos 😊
The cover of that journal is amazing! I have been trying to create a door journal. Do you have a video?
The journal is amazing. I bought it, so I don’t have a video, sorry.
Really like this, especially that napkin you used. Can I ask where you got it from? Thanks and keep up the good work!
lisa roeder Thanks Lisa, happy you enjoyed it. Im afraid I bought it at a local shop in Austria, so sorry.
what a pretty page Barbara - during your video you kept saying - I will leave the link below - but for some reason your description box with all the info is not showing : (
Hi Janet, I just checked and I see it fine. If you are on a computer you need to click on “show more” under the video. If you are on a phone. There is a small arrow to click under video that will open the description box.
It’s actually Vancouver Island. Victoria is the capital city of British Columbia. 🇨🇦
Thank you! This is great! Question - what do you use for glue?
Thanks! It depends what I’m glueing, for paper on paper I usually use tacky glue, for thicker pieces 3 in 1 Beacon glue mostly.
@@49dragonflies Thank you!! That's really helpful.
Love your shows I very new. I don’t have a computer 2 many trees around my house.what about putting little cards in pockets. Where do u get them .thank u
Thanks Wanda! I just rewatched this video because I couldn’t remember what I did 2 years ago 😂. So fun to see how my style has changed 😃. Anyway, I’m not sure which cards you mean, sorry! ❤️
I’m a new subscriber and love your channel! I’m inspired to begin a junk journal. I have to ask, “Why is your name 49 Dragonflies?”
I am curious too about the origin of the name 49 dragonflies, it's pretty
Teresa Story Hi Teresa and welcome to my channel! I hope you will find lots of inspiration here! The name 49dragonflies just came to me, later I checked what dragonflies symbolize and they stand for new beginnings and for finding your true self so it was perfect! 49 is my age and I picked that number again without realizing that that’s why I picked it. I also like the sound of that name 😊
Sabrina and Benji Hi Sabrina, Teresa Story The name 49dragonflies just came to me, later I checked what dragonflies symbolize and they stand for new beginnings and for finding your true self so it was perfect! 49 is my age and I picked that number again without realizing that that’s why I picked it. I also like the sound of that name 😊
I was wondering if you make your own junk journals and, if you do, do you sell them as well? I would love to start a junk journal but am a bit intimidated to make my own journal. If you don't sell them yourself do you know others who sell them and for a reasonable price? Love watching your videos. Hugs, Tracy
Tracy Olson Hi Tracy! I do make my own and have a few videos you can watch showing how I make mine. Currently I’m not selling any, sorry. I work in a second journal in some of my recent videos which is made by Alison. She is in the US and sells them. I adore her journals. You can find her on Instagram under @alisonnoeljournals and you could message her her there directly. I think her journals go for $35.
How did you get so good at collaging? Does it just come naturally to you? Are you still Skyping viewers to give them advice? I’d love to receive some from you!!!
Hi Jan, I believe it’s passion and practice. Anyone can do it! I’m not officially offering those sessions at the moment, but feel free to email me at 49dragonflies@gmail.com and we can figure something out.
I still believe that people have different gifts that come naturally to them. And everyone’s gifts are different. I’m sure you have put in a lot of hard work and practice but it may come more naturally to you than me? Just my thoughts.
If I don’t have gesso, you said use watered down acrylic paint?? Loooove your work by the way!
Thank you! Yes, just a little bit of water.
Thank you so much!!! ❤️
This is beautiful. I can’t see the link to the Etsy shop where you got the tape with the grid pattern. Could you tell me the name please...thank you.
Indigo Sky Thanks, sorry, I forgot to add the link, but it’s there now.
49dragonflies thank you 😊
can i use primer instead of gesso?
I’m sure that would work as well.
