This is such a stunning journal. For all of us who are reformed perfectionists, that would be a perfect series. “Loosing your innate perfectionism through the freedom of Junk journaling.”
Thank you. I will ponder on that one! 🤨
This is exactly why I “made” myself begin collage; to learn to let go of some of the constant demands of perfectionism I place on myself. I began making journals for my art, it’s more economical and I love the recycling/repurposing effects of it. But had no plans to do collage, until junk journaling pushed me into it. I soon realized the struggle of the messiness was so good for my brain. Learning to let go has been so freeing for my mind and has become an outlet. Journaling and collaging have become my safe place to be unorganized in a positive way.
You go, girl! 👍🏻😃
Sometimes it’s just fun to watch how someone puts signatures together. Loved watching your thought process, and your tips on paper tape solved a problem for me!
I appreciate how you can make decisions so freely without a plan. I really enjoy watching you work!
Barbara - I am very fortunate to be taking several art classes for free here in the US. A comment that is always made by the instructors as we begin a project is "wabi sabi". A Japanese philosophy that beauty lies/dwells in imperfection.
Thanks for that! 😊❤️
When I saw the cover you decided to use, I was so excited for you! The Circus Princess is absolutely GORGEOUS! I was just thinking of wanting a copy of it and then you said you were giving it to us as a freebie. I almost fell of my chair with excitement! Thank you, thank you, thank you for your generosity! I can’t wait to see your progress with this journal!
You are so welcome! ☺️
according to Google translate, the Korean means "window" I love that!
Thanks! ❤️
Thank you for the freebie. Looking forward to the next video! ♥️🩶
Thank you for making a scan for us! I love it too. Can't wait to see what you do with this XL Art journal ❤
I love putting papers together for a journal. Watching this makes me want to make a big one.
Go for it! 😃
Barbra, thank you for all I’ve (we) learned from you ❤❤❤
The Circus Princess meets the Junk Journal Princess, how fitting.
Aaaaaw ❤️❤️❤️
@@49dragonflies you are such a sweet and talented lady.📖📖📖📙📙❣❣❣
It’s a bit thrilling to see a big book like this. I’m always eager to see how pages are joined; there are many neat ways to do it. I get ideas. A big book is nice because most or all of the pages are portrait-facing. Then pages don’t have to be folded and viewed sideways. Sideways bugs me (gosh darn perfectionism). I should work on that. Have a nice day, Barbara in Austria. 💜♒️💜
Barbara: I am a lot, lot older than you and a perfectionist. All you can do is manage it so you aren’t afraid of doing other things. You have already demonstrated that over the years. (More so than me.) And kudos to you.
However, being a perfectionist can also be beneficial for you. It has come in handy many more times than not for me. I feel that everything I have created for my clients or myself is the best it can be. That is a great feeling too. Remember that. This journal is already on its way to being a really intriguing one and that music sheet page took my breath away. PERFECT! Carol from California
Thanks so much for your kind feedback, sweet Carol! ❤️
So different. Very enticing size really helps me think out of the box.
Such a beautiful cover. I’m looking forward to the next video. Thanks Barbara.
Thank you for the freebie! I love the image. I can not wait to see how your junk journal turns out.
Hello Barbara, Google lens says the Korean word means "windows".
Love your style and your ideas. Your channel is one of rhe few I never miss!
❤
Aaaaw thank you! I’m honored! Also thanks for the translation. Why didn’t I think to do that? 🤦♀️
This has me inspired. I have had no Mojo for month and am just getting back into it. Just watched Petra's video and loved it. I'm sure going to make one of these. After all I got an untold amount of very large books!!!!
Grand selection of papers for your xl journal. Good luck being “less perfect” with it. I too struggle with that as do so many others. That cover is gorgeous and thanks for the freebie.
The cover art looks like Erte! ❤❤
Oh Barbara, i love your yummi materials ❤ i’m a perfectionist too, i always say “ i have a system in my chaos” 😂😂😂 but i let the process go and have no picture in mind what it should be look. Only the colour and Contrast is important. I’m so looking forward what you are will create in xl❤❤❤❤
Thank you, dear Petra. Your style and your journals inspire me so much! ❤️🥰
This is fabulous! What a gorgeous journal this is going to be. This cover is so beautiful and I’m very thankful you are giving a copy as a freebie. That’s what makes you so special-you’re creative AND kind! Hugs 🤗❤
☺️❤️
Just gorgeous Barbara! Think my favorite piece is the butterfly note card. Just perfect! Ty for the cool freebie! ❤❤❤
You are so welcome ☺️
Big journals are fun. Nicely done! 😘😘
Perfectionist here as well! That’s the reason I love to join challenges like junk journal July 😊, I feel free to create as I want and not having to worry about my page being perfect like when making a journal for someone. I’m in my late sixties and my perfectionism was stressful all my life. So try and let go.
I feel ya! ❤️
So fun Barbara! I am also a perfectionist. Everything I put into my journals has to be just so, and it would be freeing to make a journal where I’m not worrying about it all the time. Oh I’m excited! ❤😊
An oversized journal is on my to-do list as well! Love yours and the inspiration journal you shared.
Beautiful as usual. Such a pleasure to enjoy your inspirational process. Cheers from Montreal! ❤❤❤
I too struggle with perfection but I’m working on liberating myself!
Fun, fun, fun! Looking forward to following along❤
Gorgeous sweetie and really something else ... I'm looking forward to seeing how this will evolve ❤
I just watched a video where someone used paper tape like that with a Gelli plate to make painted vintage looking “washi” tape. It looked amazing. They had white paper tape too.
Oh yes I know that feeling! I also love that feeling when I have successfully completed the project from a video I’ve watched! Can’t wait to see the next part to this video!!! Thanks so much for sharing your thought process. ❤
Love this and all of your hoarded papers. Thank you for the beautiful freebie on Kofi. She's stunning!
Thank you! You are so welcome! ☺️
Such a beautiful cover
Barbara, I love all those papers and that cover! I’m excited to see your next video with this journal! I have some of those bytterfly cards like you have. I’m just waiting to use them. You so inspire me! TFS! ❤
Thank you so much! 😊
I love creating freely. I’m new to journal making 😂
Beautiful! Can’t wait to see your next video!
Thank you for the video. I need to step out of my comfort zone too....I seem to be doing the same type of thing again and again. The way you did the fast forward counting pages is way too cute! Made me smile ❤
☺️❤️
This video is perfect for me right now. I’m trying so hard to get my signatures together. 3 is about all I think will work after doing embellishments and filling it with yummy things. But I’m conflicted. I kind of want to use some stencils and embossed pages. Sewing on the pages edges before I sew in signatures. So then I think I want to do the elastic bands to hold them in place and I can take them out one at a time and put them back when I’m done sewing or painting. I’m just gonna sit back and see how you do everything (Lol!! No pressure)! Anyway I’m excited to see this take shape. It’s bigger than your normal Journal. So that’s fun too! Thanks for sharing!♥️♥️♥️
I totally get your struggles! It’s not like I have figured it out either though 😂😂😂
I did a 15×11 junk journal: vintage music sheets, magazine pics(1935), vellum sayings about children. The whole journal is beautiful old pictures of children. It's grungy. I found a huge box of music sheets at an estate sale quite a while ago. ( I had so much, I even mailed some to Austria..:) Back in the 30s and 40s, they seemed very fond of that orangy red for some reason. 🤔
Oh, I will follow along, I love your paper selection. Edith Holden is in alot of my journals, I might add a washi accent to page, that's all. Your inspiration... is she the one who sends you items and you use only them to create a journal? Those were great videos!!!❤😊 You always rise to the challenge!
Thanks! I’m sure your grungy journal is beautiful! No, this is not her 😊
Hi Barbara, I love the cover! Thank you for sharing on KoFi. Your art journal is going to be so fun. Ty!
Thank you for the freebie.
I like it, a XL Art journal...
Da bin ich auf die Fortsetzung gespannt 😊
Ich auch 😂😂😂
Lovely cover. I love it when you start a new project ❤
Thanks! If I would only finish them all 🙈
Love this! Can’t wait to see the next steps! ❤
oh Lovely love the size and papers what fun 💖
Danke für das wunderschöne Freebie. Freue mich schon auf den nächsten Teil deines Riesen-JJ 🥰
A sweet start!!
You always have such interesting ephemera! What a fun journal! Cant wait to see how it all plays out!
GREAT PROJECT
Oo Oo 🤚 that beautiful vellum paper would be gorgeous in your Tattered Angel torn waxed paper cover journal! 👀
I loved this video! I can’t wait to see what you create in it!❤❤
Beautiful ❤
What a fun journal! Love how the signatures came together ❤️
This is going to be a fun one!
Your process is so helpful to help me focus on using what I have and how to gather signatures. Thank you!
❤the way you do the signatures. It will be a beautiful journal. God bless
Love love your creativity and thought process. Very fun and inspirational project. tfs. 🌸💕🌸
This is so cute, I love this. I haven't had much time to create anything with junk journals recently, but watching this has me thinking about trying to make some nice easy mixed media collages to incorporate into my current journal project when I get back to it. It's very nature themed, and that paper with the leaves all over it got me thinking about using some decopatch papers on top of my collages and hand drawn and painted pictures.
Loving it🤩👌🏻
Oh wie toll
fun!♥♥♥
Yes I have the same sentiments
Love this project Barbara! I can't wait for the next video! As always, thank you! 💗💗
I love your channel. I am a man in America. I have so many books and I want to distill them into journal pages. I want to cut out any quotes, sentences, and pics, that resonates with me from each book. Have you ever done that? Do you have a video about that idea?
Thank you! Thats a great idea! I have a vintage stamp album in which I keep cut out phrases from books, but I don’t have a dedicated video about it, sorry.
Barbara the cover illustration is just beautiful. Thank you for making it a freebee. I can't wait for the next installment.
This is going yo be amazing
Can’t wait to follow along with you and work on this. If indeed the letters are Korean, the word translates to “window”
Looking forward to seeing this project all come together. Love, love, love the Circus Princess - thank you for sharing the image as a freebie ❤️🌟❤️
❤
Oooh, this is going to be a beautiful journal 😍 The cover is amazing. Is it Erte'? The pages too, are just a wonderful array. Can't wait to see what you add to it! 🤎🧡🩷💛
The massive korean character reads as chang and means window apparently
Thank you! 🥰
That tape is a great way to join the pages, would it be available in the UK do you think? Such awesome goodies. Thank you so much!
Try Amazon maybe (paper tape)
Hi Barbara, this journal is going to be beautiful for sure. ❤❤❤ I love the cover, she's absolutely gorgeous.
