Yes! I definitely would love a video on your technique for the spine/board cover. Also, Natalia's illustrations are wonderful! Are you able to put them into a digital kit?

I’m sure you’ve thought of this but in case you haven’t, you should scan your friend’s drawings into your computer so that you can use copies in your journals and cherish the originals. Love the Jane Austin book and kit! Sorry you and your husband had such a tough week, here’s to better days ahead! Thanks for all you share! ☮️💜

Thanks Nik! Learn so much from your videos. Think we all have those times when it seems that everything pops up all at the same time. It drives me crazy! Love your laidback style, especially after watching other KZfaqrs. I’ve been speeding some up and sometimes muting them to get through! Boy do I really appreciate you jumping right into the subject, not doing “shoutouts”, having annoying music, spotlighting trendy nails, blah blah blah… sorry had to vent🙈 my ADD is rearing it’s ugly head! And you do you…your way when you can. Love ya Nik! Keep up the good work. Thanks!❤😂🤣

I love the new kit and the journal you made with it. And this video came just in time to provide me with inspiration for a present for a friend's birthday. She is a big Jane Austen fan. And she loves dragons. So I made her a Jane Austen meets Dragons junk journal. Natalia's illustrations are stunning. 💕💕

We all have THOSE weeks 😁 Dickens is the same way... I’ve read the first chapter of the Christmas Carol at least 5 times over the years😂 I even tried starting in the middle of the book. 😏 They were written back when reading around a fire was all they had for relaxation and entertainment and they needed those few books they had to last a good long time 🔥 IMO Thanks again, Nik 💝

Funny, I can read Dickens all day but the flowery on and on love stories like Jane Austen put me to sleep. There's something for everyone. Try a different Dickens like Oliver Twist.

This concept is useful. It's festival season, oh wait, it's concert season, and of course it's always birding season. So many ideas for themed books and never enough time. And now I've looked into the rabbit hole and you nudged me over the edge into watching or rewatch four more of your videos.They are way more entertaining and informational than anything on TV.

I have been thinking about a Jane Austin journal for a while. Thanks. Can totally relate to all the appointments as I also have that and my hubby was just diagnosed with Prostate Cancer ( the doctor thinks he can get it all through surgery as it’s all located in his prostate) . So a waiting game for the date. Fun times. Take care.

Okay, then. I did read Emma in May. Emma consists mainly of upper crusty people visiting each other and then gossiping about people not in the room. I also read the Scarlet Letter as delayed penance for reading only the Cliffs Notes for HS English Literature. That book is crazy [crazy] for contemporary kids. There are way too many issues and undercurrents for young readers to digest. I hardly knew how sex worked back in the sixties. Well, thanks for all the helpful hints. That’s why I still watch after all these years.🤪

Hi Nik, I did not have this problembjet but as I do use wet glue sometimes it can easily happen so i'm very happy that you showed us how to solve this issue. 😊 Love the cover and the eco-dyed fabric. My own eco-dyed farns don't cone out as clear/sharp as yours so I'm wondering how you do that. Byebye, keep up the good work and thank you so much. ❤

I have a desk jet printer, so I couldn't do that without ruining the ink...haven't tried it to be honest. I always make sure my covers are straightened out before I bind them and use double-sided tape never glue. So far so good lol. If I had a laser printer perhaps I wouldn't be so nervous about doing it after I bounded it.Thanks for the cool video! 💕

Sadly, this won't solve the issue. If there is warp in the boards, it will just happen once you remove the weight. =/ Great question, thanks for asking!
