- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ก.ค. 2018
- This Inspired By series is inspired by Nick Bantock of Griffin and Sabine fame. He is a celebrated collage artist, illustrator and author, and his books are like walking into a mysterious wonderland of secrets and hand written mail. This series of videos (3 in total) explore his style over mail art in the form of postcards (part 1: • Inspired By Nick Banto... , Faux postage and seals (part 2 - • Inspired by Nick Banto... ) and putting all the elements together to create a book within a book (part3: • Inspired by Nick Banto... ). I hope you enjoy this look into the world of collage and mail art combined.

It’s a good idea to photocopy precious papers to collage and keep the originals. Then you can get multiple uses from each one
Love this! You know, you can scan those old papers and print them out on anything, including tissue, tracing paper, and coffee/tea stained papers, leaving your original. I hate to cut mine up, too!
Love these. ❤
I came back to watch this video after one you posted today 14 Nov 2023
Your video came up in my feed and so did an interview with Nick. Love watching what you’ve done. Looking forward to the interview.
Im currently making an art journal with Griffin and sabine. I ordered tgree more, tgey are fabulous!
I love this - beautiful! I am so happy to have learned about this wonderful artist! Thank you! ❤
Thank you for introducing me to Nick Bantock! I can't wait to explore him more.
You're very welcome - his artwork is amazing - you can just get lost in it!
Fabulous project with great historical background. Being from the UK, I have heard of Nick Bantock but wasn't fully aware of all you told us 😊
Niamh, that’s really fabulous and I really really love 💖 all of those postcards you made in this video. You’ve introduced me to a new artist so I’m going to look him up. Thank you so much xxx Mags
Fabulous! I love Nick Bantock, and love your take on surrealism. I've got The Gryphon, and frequently drool over it lol.
Thank you so much. I was super excited to see that he has released two more books I was unaware of - so can't wait to get my hands on those soon :)
I’m in love. I’ll definitely be checking out the Nick Bantock books. ♥️
Very interesting ! Really enjoyed learning about this artist and seeing what you created. I've got several things in my stash that I can't bring myself to use yet. What you said about having it in a book instead of tucked away in a box, really hit home. 👍🏻
Thank you so much. His work is so visually stimulating. I'm glad I'm not the only one who tucks things away!! All three videos are now uploaded - so you can see how the final project came together :)
They turned out lovely, your Bantock inspired postcards!
Wonderful!! I sent my first proper mail art envelope yesterday and now I am binge watching mail art videos, this is a favourite so far!
How exciting - thank you so much:) Glad you enjoyed it!
I love these! So much fun.
I have the Nick Bantock book Griffen and Sabine and the collage work intrigues me. And wow Niamh you have really captured the same look as Nick Bantocks work. What an homage. This is the video that introduced me to your work and I am blown away and a new subscriber. Thank you for sharing your talent.I am off to watch more of you work.
Yay - welcome to the channel - I am alway glad to meet more Griffin and Sabine fans - it is just such an amazing series of books!
Awesome. I love Nick Bantock. The art stamps you made are inspiring.
Paper Tams thank you so much. Yes- nick is amazing and so very talented!!!
Wow loving this
Great work - thanks for the inspiration 😊
I had no clue these books were 25 years old. I need to go pull mine out & look at them again.
I learn so much from you Niamh- thank you! This is right up my alley too...XOXO
Thank you so much for your kind words - I'm glad these videos are useful for you x
Too cool... Thank you for sharing the process!

I really enjoyed this video. I am a fan of Nick Bantock as well and will watch your other vids in this series. tfs
Thank you - he is an inspirational artist. I hope you enjoy the other videos too.
Interesting!!!!! I enjoyed your process. Very clear and understandable. You've inspired me in several ways. I have a love for doing mail art. Watching this video really have my mind going!!!! Keeping in my "there's nothing new under the sun!" I'm going to look into the artist that you recommended. Thanks for the art history! He seem very interesting. Your postcards trued out sweet. Thanks for sharing and the huge punch of inspriation.......
I hope you found Nick's books and get as inspired as me from them :) I can always find something hidden in his books that speak to me.
I loved this. The sad part is I have no one to send post cards to. Alas!
🙂
Thanks for this great video Niamh. I really like Nick Bantocks work and you really captured the style beautifully. Is there any marking on your fish stamp indicating who manufactured it. It looks rather large and I'm having a difficult time finding one any larger than about 2-3 inches. Thanks for the video share and happy creating
Sharon Montalbano thank you. The fish stamp is from 100%proof stamps. They still exist, but this stamp may not as it is over 20yrs old so is probably discontinued
@@NiamhBaly Thank you for the information. I checked it out and was able to score one. Greatly appreciated. Have a great day 😊
So glad you found it!
Wow. Just ... Wow. Beautiful. Very “Bantockian”!
Where did you get your piercing awl (the pointy thing used to make stamp perforations)? What size tip do you use?
CRMCSYS thank you- I just used an sewing Unpicker to make the piercings - you could use a sewing needle as well, no idea what size sorry
Niamh Baly I ordered the Crafter's Companion 18950 Ultra Pro Seam Ripper from Amazon.com because of its curvy point, watched this video for the umpteenth time - I love your creativity - and finally noticed you were holding a regular seam ripper/unpicker. Thank you for tolerating my question. During previous viewings I must have been blinking at the critical second. You’ve inspired me to attempt collage. I look forward to making postage stamps. Delivery is scheduled this week.
I never heard the expression “fussy cutting” until TH-cam. I am a potential fussy cutter. I also ordered a pair of EK Success EKCB01 Cutter Bee Precision Scissors: A reviewer said she is able to cut out “little bird feet.” Most reviewers warn the scissors are extremely sharp so, while I look forward to cutting out little bird feet, I’m a bit terrified. Wish me luck.
Hi - been trying to find this comment in my feed and its taken this long to track it down!!! Hope you went okay with your scissors. i had a pair of those and they are great. Just got the new tim holtz small haberdashery ones which I am using for paper and they are amazing!!! With the unpicked - I find one I have perforated it, I use a knife or scissors to cut out the stamps. If its not a 'proper' perforated edge, it will tear your work much more easily. Hope your mail art is going well x
Do you find that YooHoo glue sticks well and for a long time?
Cathy xox thanks. I did this a year ago and the glue is still holding up. If you glue to the edges and are only gluing papers together it’s pretty good. Plus you get less wrinkling in magazine collage papers than with wet glues
@@NiamhBaly thank you
I can’t find the name of that company that you talk about with the stamp collection can you give me more information about it thank you
Maurice Powers it doesn’t exist anymore but there is an American one called 100 proof press that does lots of mail art type stamps and also sells perforated paper for faux stamp making. Hope that helps
Right my darling....how is it possible NOT to get paint where it is not supposed to go....😖...wanted to do some as presents....😭😭😭🤷♀️
It’s a learning curve. If it’s acrylic paint you wan wipe off with a wet wipe while still damp. If it’s dry collage over it x
🤗thanks 😊
