Hi Karen! I very much enjoyed your video!! You’re easy to listen to, and very informative! I loved everything about the video! Thank you for showing us how you dyed the papers, selected papers and textiles for your journal, and how to do the watercolor wash!! Keep giving us all the nitty gritty details-even how you decide the order of your pages!! I for one, really appreciate every single one of them you shared!! Keep up the great work!!
Hi Priscilla! Wow… I can’t thank you enough for your feedback and comments it means so much… Thank you! I’m so glad you are liking all of the “nitty-gritty“ I always wonder if I should or if it’s boring to people. I love meeting people with similar interests and lighting each other up!! Have a lovely day and talk soon xoox.
I just happened upon your channel and very pleased that I did. I enjoyed watching the video and will continue to return to learn more about your craft. Thank you for sharing.
Best wishes on this venture! I will be watching.
Much appreciated! I'm so glad you are here :))) xoox
Hi Karen! 🧚♀✨💕 Thoroughly enjoyed seeing part 1 of this process video and how you dyed those lovely pages to use in your new journal. Looking forward to Part 2 and heading over now! Also - gorgeous illustrations in that Audubon book wow! 😍
Hi Amy!!! Aww Thank you !! It is so relaxing and such a wonderful outlet, creatively. xoooox I must see what magic you are working on...
Very lovely I will be watching your channel. Thank you
You are welcome and thank you so much 😊
Hi glad I found you, I like your relaxed pace and the way you go about crafting! Nice to see how easy it is to dye the pages, and the effects of the salt. Hope you manage to grow the channel and share more of what you love ❤
I am so glad I found you, as well! Thank you so much for your heartfelt words...hope to talk again soon. ;))
I just found your Channel. I will be back very soon to watch previous videos. Merci 😊
Bonjour thank you so much!
I love your video and great tips for dying paper. I do the coffee, tea and avocado dying and have been looking for a way to do blue paper. I tried food colouring but it never works out too well so will definitely try ink and also the salt idea is super so will do this too. Like you I am hoping to make a career out of making journals, ephemera etc and doing you tube videos. I need to make some more videos and do them more regularly. Look forward to seeing more of your videos.
Hello there and thank you so much! I must visit your channel… Birds of a feather we probably are. Yes, I’ve died papers with many of those inks. I was going to make a video on dying papers with ink. Looking forward to checking out your work!😊
Aw thank you so much, Id really appreciate any feedback as I really lack confidence in doing TH-cam videos lol x@@BlackSwanJournals
Howdy, Karen! Thank you for taking us along with you as you start a new journaling journey. So interesting to see how you got different textures with using the ink as a paper dye. Love how you incorporated some pages of the nature books into the journal. Looking forward to seeing you add some decorations. Be Blessed. Bubbles...ooo🫧🫧🫧
Hey possum Patty! Thank you so much for visiting my channel and supporting me with your lovely comments. I love learning from all of us. It’s such a wonderful community and I’m so pleased to meet you! 🫶🤗
I love the colors and different textures you use. I’ve kept a Journal for years, but never have been attracted to a junk journal. They are lovely, but I just could not think what to do with one. You have inspired me to try making a self-care one.
This means the world to me...thank you for taking a moment to comment and I hope you enjoy every step of your journey...xoox
Great job!
Thank you so much!
Very interested in the dye colours I keep meaning to do dye but end up just brushing with coffee. I think when the weather is warmer I’m going to try some. Thank you for sharing your skills taking apart the books it can be a challenge. Popping over to part 2 now ❤🧚♂️❤️
Hi Julia... thank you so much, try dying in your favorite color!! It will delight you ! xoox
