Betty Calkins created this dark beauty featuring some of my favorite fairytale illustrators- these are not your Disney-esque type of stories. But the illustrations are just beautiful. And, this book has much more than just pretty pictures to look at...
Betty’s style is truly unique, with much whimsy and creativity that’s truly inspiring. She DOES NOT have a KZfaq channel. You may find her crafting videos and flip-throughs on her daughter’s (Kelly Snow) Facebook group: Junk Journal Junkies ETC. Please note, you must become a member of their growing group. Once a member, just venture over to the “members' section” tab and click on Betty Calkins’s profile et voilà, you’ll find her videos. Here’s the link: / members
I didn’t do any speaking in this video. Mostly nature noises along with the crinkled sounds of Betty’s earthy/grungy papers. I just love touching these pages. I can’t wait for you all to see this fabulous piece of art!! 😍
Thank you so very much, Betty, for this book!!
This video (and all other videos that I publish on KZfaq) is intended for ADULTS only.

This is one of the best artistic journals I have seen in a very long time. Betty created a book of art. Fine attention was given to all the details. This book is not something that was slam full of ugly papers. Each page is put well together, and attention was given to lovely harmony throughout the book. This book took a very long time to create. I would love to see more of her work. Bravo Betty well done!!!!

@@craftylore8417 they are indeed. They have a habit of turning up when you least expect them! There is one in St Peters Church in Phibsborough, Dublin that many people (including the congregation) were unaware of) and where I live now in Drogheda there is another in an Augustinian Church. However the best one,p for me is the one in the Hugh Lane gallery in Dublin - the Eve of St Agnes. It’s not that big, about three and a half feet by four feet but it is exquisite. The detail and the color are stunning. If you ever get to Dublin it would be worth while taking an hour or so to see it. 🙂👍🏻❤️

It truly is, Cynthia!! Betty Calkins makes some of the most beautiful, grunge journals I’ve see in a while. She’s truly a league of her own. I put her link in the description box should you like to look at some of her work. But you need a Facebook page to access the group that she’s in. Info is in the description should you be interested. She does her own journals and custom orders. And she works with you on the price and she allows you to make payments to. Her art, to me, is definitely worth it. 😍😍❤️🥰

I'm blown away! What a fantastic gem. Is this talented Betty Calkins a friend of yours? I'm Swedish so I immediately recognized John Bauer's illustrations. I also love the one of 'TUVSTARR' sitting with her long hair by the water. It's from 1913. Husband & I have a cottage in the same province (Småland) that Bauer was from, out in the forest near a lake. Really love your creations too, Madeline! I discovered your fabulous channel about a week ago, from Martyna who has Teal & Tattered. By the way, we sort of have a 'real Tuvstarr' in the north of Sweden. Her name is JONNA JINTON, and she's a vlogger, and creates all sorts of things. When she was 20 yrs she moved from the big city Gothenburg, up to a village with 11 people(!) in the very north. She wanted to be near nature to be her true self. She lives right by a forest. Her vlogs are breathtaking. All the best to you, Madeline! Kind regards from Ditte in the south of Sweden

Gurk Meja Ditte!!! You gave me goosebumps when I read your comment!!! Not many people in the states know of John Bauer or some of the other illustrators featured in this book. Most of the junk journaling community only know of Arthur Rackham. I love Tuvstarr and her moose Hop. No wonder Bauer was inspired to create such beautiful images. It must be beautiful where you live at!!! I happened on Betty by per luck crafting while one of Kelly Snow’s videos was on. She was showing a flip through of her mom’s (aka Betty Calkins) woodland themed journal that had random but multiple hidden pockets with money inside!!! Betty is the reason I created a Facebook because she only features her videos of her journals on Kelly’s junk journal junkies FB page. You should join the group and see Betty’s work there. It’s phenomenal. Thank you for making my day today!! On my way to work but wishing I could be home crafting instead 😪🤣

@@craftylore8417 Thank you very much for your lovely answer! We don't live in Småland, we only have a cottage there. We live in a small community in the very south of Sweden by the sea. When I go for a walk by the water I can see the bridge from Malmö to Copenhagen (Denmark) in the distance! Is the group you mentioned actually called Kelly's JJ junkies? I think you would probably really like Jonna Jinton's vlogs if you love the forest! I'll turn 60 this year, but haven't worked since 2016 due to Ehlers'Danlos syndrome. THANK goodness for crafting, can make me forget both pain and fatigue. Hope you're having a fine day - even though you have to work. Let's hope it passes by quickly! :) /Ditte

Gurk Meja My dearest Ditte!!! I’ve only cared for two patients who came for dislocations secondary to EDS and so I know from them that it can be very painful and tiring and that there’s different types of EDS. I’m so very happy that you’re taking care of yourself and that you’ve found something you love doing. No matter the hobby or art, so long as you love doing it, it can be very therapeutic. What type of crafting do you do? Do you have a Instagram or another site where you share your work? I would love to see it if you don’t mind sharing. But I also understand if you prefer your art to be for your eyes only. I don’t share everything I do because it can be very personal. Yes, if you go to FB and type in the search box: Junk Journal Junkies facebook.com/groups/253921581754963/?ref=share I hope my link I just copied and pasted works. Then click on the MEMBERS tab, and you should see Betty’s name as she’s one of the 2 “ADMINISTRATORS and MODERATORS.” You’ll have to join the group though to access her videos. She only uploads on her daughters site. And yes, I know of Jonna Jinton!!! You’re right, she’s the perfect Tuvstarr!!! I adore her videos and her photography is just beautiful!! I hope you have a relaxing rest of the week crafting away by the sea!! You must get so much inspiration on your walks by the ocean. Beautiful indeed!!!

@@craftylore8417 Think I'm the only person in the world that doesn't have Instagram!! I used to have a blog, 'Fru Gurkmeja' (which is Swedish for Mrs Turmeric!), but I'm not active there any longer. Very unusual that anybody knows about EDS! I have an aunt who's seven yrs older than me, she's a nurse in Vermont. I do a bit of junk journaling (have only made 2!), but lately I've felt a bit overwhelmed with it all, so at the moment I do napkin decoupage or art journal spreads in my TN. Have a fantastic weekend! Hugs from Ditte in a too hot Sweden
