I am so happy this video popped into my feed. I adore wrens and was so blessed to have them nest on my deck this summer under my bar table. I had placed pillows and soft dog toys under the table to keep them from getting wet in a storm and next thing i knew, the little wrens were bringing leaves and twigs to build their nest. the little male was singing so proudly to bring his mate to this little haven he had created for her and he continued to sing as he guarded his little family. They fledged 3 little wrens who are still hopping around in the bushes by the deck until they are ready to fly away completely. Everything in nature has such a magical way of making the world seem like a better place. I love your little secret garden and your page is very inspiring. I have been meaning to capture my experience similarly. Thank you for sharing your talent and special little wren story. 💕
What a lovely story - thanks so much for sharing! Our wrens had three little fledglings this year too - it must be a good year for them :-) I'm so pleased you enjoyed the video and I'm glad it's inspired you 💜
This was so lovely to watch. You are a true artist. 👌👍🥰. Love you garden round your studio and the little ducks. So good for the soul.❤. Thanks for your tutorial.
Thank you again! Sorry I am such a jabber mouth but when you have the mind of a child you tend to talk and ask a lot of questions! First, Thank you for sharing a way to use the inktense pencils…really makes a difference! Next, I will look to find the completed book but I was wondering about your plan for the page opposite the little wren. Thank you again!!💕
so pleased you're enjoying seeing the creation of the book unfold! I left that page opposite the wren unadulterated as I enjoy seeing the original book peeking out from my work too :-)
I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel. Absolutely beautiful. I love your techniques as I can't do to save my life. Thank you for sharing. 💞 Love and light to you 💞
I used your idea of cutting the edge if the page on a tribute to my older brother who just died. I used a sparrow inspired by the song “His Eye is on the Sparrow” for my starting point. Thank you for sharing your ART. I hope you don’t mind a newbie “scraplifted” your technique as you were also my inspiration.
Alayne what a beautiful tribute to your brother 💜🪶 I feel priviledged that you took inspiration from one of my video's for such a special page. My purpose in sharing my art journalling is to inspire others so it's always wonderful to hear how the ripples I send out in to the world spread :-)
Hooray I am so happy. I went back and looked at your videos and there it was. I am so excited to be following you. Love & blessings from a new subscriber
Love your journaling page also. I did that style for Junk Journal January where we were supposed to have words. It was a first for me and I really enjoy doing it and I think it looks great. Boy am I happy to have found you
I just discovered your channel and I’m loving it. Your projects are amazing and your narration is enjoyable. Can’t wait to try some of your ideas myself.
Was looking for something different, and there you were!! I dabble in Mixedmediaart a little myself with junk journals and themed books and now I have been inspired by your creative work. The new subbie here and looking forward to seeing more of your creative style.
I JUST ADORE YOUR BACKYARD, ITS SO MAGICAL, ALSO LOVE YOUR CREATIONS WHICH JUST POP RIGHT OFF THE PAGE, ALL YOUR IDEAS ARE AMAZING, GIVES ME SO MUCH INSPIRATION TO LIVEN UP MY JOURNALS.
Your video just popped up in my recommendations and I am so happy it did ! So much inspiration in just this video. I can't wait to see more ! Beautiful pages ! New Subscriber here !❤
It’s beautiful, and your video is excellent. There are many elements I adore. We have wrens here. They are loud and opinionated. If one is ticked off, she lets everyone know. Chitter, chitter, tsk,tsk,tsk. Where are you? I couldn’t see a location in your “about” section. I want to share with you the gist of a NOVA television program about the Big Bang. Astronomers have seen the birth of it. Lights we see in the night sky have travelled to get here. Stars we see may no longer be sending light. Anyway, super dense matter exploded outward to create everything in our universe. And, everything that ever was will always be. The smallest bits of your wren came from that bang and will always be of the universe. It’s science! It’s nature! It’s my religion. It gives me great peace. 👵🏻💥
Hi Caroline! I don’t know that I have seen many of your videos but I have found you now!! I just love little birds and certainly music is a perfect backdrop! I loved seeing your garden! Beautiful! I’m hoping to go on holiday and I received a travel watercolor set for Christmas in anticipation of our trip. I probably won’t be able to take ink pads but maybe I’ll prepare some book pages ahead of time with some gesso. Do you think that watercolor would be okay to use on top of the gessoed book page? I am so fortunate to have something so fun to look forward to! Thank you for the delightful video!!🥰
thank you and welcome to my channel! Mixed media really is all about trying things to see how they work! Maybe tear a page out of your book and experiment with the gesso and watercolour and see what happens? The gesso will act as a resist so the water colour won't sink in to the page but how it moves around the page will depend on your water colours so have fun playing an experimenting and be open to what happens 🙂
Did you also do a page that had a red-headed woodpecker and pretty birch tree beside it? I saw it somewhere and I can't seem to find who did it so I can give them credit for it because I used the method but used an owl for my algenol and painted a tree beside him. I hope it was you so I don't lose track of that person who did that and by the way I love your wren. When I was a girl at home my bedroom window was on the same side as the garage and we had a run house there I was woke up each morning with a beautiful little bird
thank you 💜 Every paper and every fine liner is going to be different, so I just experiment, especially using old books, the paper is so different from book to book. Have fun experimenting! 🙂
I'm loving all of your altered book art and seeing your lovely garden. Could you tell me what kind of mini craft knife you use to cut those fine details. Many thanks
Thanks Alison! I'll try and find the packaging for you. I actually bought it from a model shop rather than an art shop but it works perfectly for the fine details :-)
Thanks so much for subscribing thescaledraven, wonderful to have you here! You'll find video's for all the pages in this altered book that I've done so far on the channel. I have the video for the next page waiting in the editing suite and then only one more page to do to finish this altered book!
Just found you, it was the wren that drew me in. As yyou can see my username is jennywren. Fabulous finished pages and inspirational ideas. Thank you. JENNY(NZ) 🐦🦋
Extraordinary. Truly, your work is in a class by itself. I have seen nothing like it. Amazing!
Thank you 💜
Love this. Love how you tied the two pages together in color and theme.
You are very creative.
Thank you Laurie 💜

Beautiful garden and project. The volume is very low.
So beautiful, thank you for sharing ! What's the name of the glue you use please ? Best regards from France.
Thank you Eva 💜 I use Liquitex Matte Medium gel and then later in the video HiTack glue (for sticking the wren down) 🙂
