Hi there! I found your video in my YT recommendations. Though I want to... for quite a long while... I've never made an art journal for myself. I don't "journal", per se. So, I've never made ANY journal for myself. Just as gifts, & I've sold a few. I work too slowly to make any money, tho.🙄 lol Boy! Do I understand the "doctor's appointments" & how annoyingly disruptive they are to the things we "want" to do.😏 I'm disabled with chronic nerve pain from a work injury. I just turned 61, Dec 9th, &... I'm American.😳 The last year, or more, has been rough, both personally & socially. I worry for my 5 grandchildren. Four which are very young women. The anticipation of what's to come for humanity... especially women... is emotionally exhausting.💔 I can't express to you just how much you've inspired me with this video & your art journal. It's really beautiful & emotive. I love what you've written throughout. The idea of just flowing intuitively is also very appealing to me.💗 Since your art has brought me to tears... I think it would be quite cathartic to create my own place to release all of the emotions, fears, & hopes that have built up in me.🥹 I love your energy, your vibe. So, of course, I've subscribed.😉 And, I very much look forward to seeing what else you do in your art.💖 Thank you for sharing your process & tips. Blessings to you through the holidays and for the new year.💚💚💚 P.S. I had to come back, after I finished the video, just to tell you... I L💖VE the way your mind works!😁 💗💗💗
@@tharp769 wow what a heartfelt comment. THANK YOU ❤️ & you are very welcome here, it’s a safe space, I upload when I can as my husband has been quite sick. You’ll see us on some holidays too, I try to be real here. So much of social media is air-brushed, which I don’t like, it makes the more fragile amongst us feel even more isolated. Yes, your elections were felt around the world and I must admit I cried for a few days and couldn’t sleep with the results. I try not to comment too much about it as people can be vicious and I just don’t need that on my channel, but believe me I hear you, I have a granddaughter myself, what happens in the U.S usually reverberates around the world. Please take care and I’m so glad you found me Merry Christmas 🎄
@ ah right! Thanks for clarifying, Vicki No, I do all the gesso on the cover + inside pages before I finalize the cover with fabric and stitching etc after the gesso is dry (usually a day later) then when I do an art page inside I just flip the cover over and it lays pretty flat actually & stays out the way. I hope this helps? If not, keep asking and I’ll reply ❤️
