I do NOT understand why some people feel compelled to give negative comments, like you should do exactly what they want. They don't need to watch your channel. You're giving us inspiration and ideas. Then we do what we want. I think this is an amazing idea. You always come up with something new and different. Then I see other Crafters on KZfaq doing your ideas. Thank you for sharing your ideas.😊

You’re creativity and ability to share your talent with others is one of the reasons you have such a following! Those who don’t like your style need only swipe by instead of leaving rude comments. Keep doing you. It is obvious a lot of us agree! ❤

Please never apologize for using what you love in your projects! Even when you do things I wouldn't have necessarily done myself, I think that's the genius of your channel because it gives me ideas I never would have thought of! I love your book ❤

Fun & whimsy. I love that you show us how to take boo-boos in stride. A flower, a butterfly & a bit of washi tape can fix anything, even attitudes we hope. Bring on the bling please. Thanks so much ❤

I love this idea, and feel confident that no insect feelings were hurt in the making of this video. 😏🦋

I love it....I love brown distress ink and butterflies too!! :)) I hate to see negative Nancys posting on channels. All of you artists are so great and step out on a limb to share your processes, something I have no courage to do. Bravo to you for sharing your beautiful work with everyone. Keep on keeping on....the majority of us love watching.

The amount of subscribers you have is simply a testament to how much people like your work and YOU personally. You are incredibly easy to follow because you break everything down to its simplest form which helps even the newest crafter feel confident that they too can recreate your magic. Unfortunately some people are so caught up in their own entitlement that they tend to forget others are entitled too, which is why I love the phrase “You do YOU” in the crafting world. There are so many different varieties of styles on You tube and that’s why I love subscribing to many channels to glean something from different ones. As people mature perhaps they will realize this too. Of course if you go to the haters channel that has left you negatively opinionated comments, you’ll find that they have produced absolutely zero content. I’ve been learning from crafting channels on KZfaq since 2016 and I got to the point that I don’t even bother looking at the haters channel anymore because it was the same thing every time. Not ONE of them had ever uploaded a video of them even attempting to do what you (or anyone else) do. So I wouldn’t be bothered by their opinion of your work. Please continue to do YOU in YOUR style as YOU see fit. That’s why I have my notification Bell set for your channel, because I personally happen to love your style & feel there is always enough variety in it that I still find it interesting and can learn from you. When I want to look at brightly colored projects, I tend to search for whatever it is in the search bar and choose videos from there. Even though I relate most of your works with a more vintage vibe/style to them, it doesn’t make the overall work itself any less unique. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that if dragonflies is your preference over butterflies, then you plug that in in your own work instead of using a butterfly; Or ladybugs, or a beetle, or a spider or even a roach! You do YOU! 🤷🏻‍♀️😎

Super fun, and thank you for sharing your creativity. Loved your “cheeky” ending to the video…..Adding the bugs was hilarious! Keep up with your butterflies and keep doing you!

Natasha this is sooo creative! I can hardly wait to make a tunnel book. I absolutely LOVE that you give us a written list of steps. Love your channel!

Thank you for the ending with the under-represented bugs, because I have been staying up nights worrying about all those bugs who don’t get equal time in junk journaling. Long live cockroaches and millipedes.

Tunnel books seem so much easier than I thought they would be. Thank you. Please don’t let one person’s comment impact your delightful work. “You do you”. Love the sarcasm at today’s finale. Well done. 👏👏👏😎

Butterflies in the craft room are like handbags 👜. There’s no such thing as too many!! 😉 "You do you", Natasa. These are your ideas and your projects that you are taking the time to share with us. And for this, l am deeply grateful. Have a beautiful day, Barbara 🇦🇺

This is such a fun, interesting project! As for those who feel compelled to complain about one thing or another...when they take the time and energy to create and post videos, they can represent colors and insects of their choice. I am completely happy with you doing your own thing. You do it so well! Always well planned, great clear instructions, with your fun personality shining through. Thank you!

Thank you SO much for sharing these with us!! And I will add that I often hear other creators on KZfaq giving you credit for being the starting point for what they’re making. Thank you for sharing your talents and time with us❣️

Natasha, I’m always amazed by people who who choose the tiniest detail to carp about. Your work is amazing and you explain everything in a way that is understandable. Keep your chin up, and do what makes you happy.-- By the way your presentation with the “ neglected insects” was hilarious. Thank you for bringing some laughter into my life.

I have always thought tunnel books were to hard to tackle…NOW I want to make several! Thank you! God bless you abundantly in 2024! 🙏❤️🦊

😂😂😂😂 the bug comment at the end cracked me up!!!! Good for you!!

I always appreciate your videos and ideas because you do so much with basic supplies. It makes me feel like I can make beautiful things with the supplies I have. One thing I am discovering is my own style, I don't know why anyone would want you to change how you do things. You are wonderful as you are ❤

You do great projects and never cease to amaze me. Do not pay attention to the bitter negative, and jealous people.

Miss Natasha, this is amazing. I love it. You always show your creativity in all the projects that you design, love it. As for the subscribers that said you always use butterflies and brown ink, they should do what they want on their own projects. You do you, and that to me is fantastic. I love the outcome on all your projects. Thank you for sharing and God Bless. 🥰💖💖💯💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍🐇🐣🐤🐥🐰🐞🌹🦂🌵

Natasha, I absolutely adore this wonky and wonderful tunnel book tutorial. I love color and wonkiness so absolutely love those ones. But thank you for showing how easy it is to make one. I’m so inspired and happy to have a new project! A comment I saw once a upon a time, applies here, “You made my heart, plum full of happiness!” Thank you.

Thank you for inspiring us! And having such clear instructions. I use brown or black because those are natural shadow colors! I wish I found more dragonflies, they're not as popular. So I draw my own & watercolor them.

It's really disappointing to hear that people can't understand that there are different perspectives and respect individual creativity. I love your videos and all the ideas you share with us. Your expression is wonderful! Thank you for all you do!

You are AWESOME! I have learned SO MUCH from you! Thank you for EVERYTHING that you do! People who can’t or won’t do, usually criticize those who can! We LOVE you just the way you are!

Natasha, I wish people will simply enjoy the tutorials you are sharing as they are beautiful. Why judge and criticize the taste of others. You are amazing. Thank you for all your inspiration

I love butterflies, and I love the brown inked edges, and your projects for junk journals blows pretty much everybody else's away, in my opinion! There are some other great artists out there, but your videos and the way you present your information totally hooked me! Keep doing you, Natasha! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Love your attitude towards ridiculous comments lol. You have made my day. Tunnel book on my list of art to do. Thanks for sharing.

Your Ideas are so helpful. Please don't stop giving them. The majority of your subscribers love them. ❤️

Brown edges add a richness and definition! Everyone can select their own choices. Love your videos! You are organized, clear, and show each step in detail. Best detail has to be the list to show each step. Many thanks for sharing your creativity. I always am inspired to try your projects!

Good for you!! You love butterflies, use butterflies!!!❤ You love brown, use brown!!! You are so gifted, everyone enjoys your talent, don’t listen to grumpy pants. She can go watch other u-tube people and grip at them!!! Your so gifted, such a joy to watch, good for you to let them know that you love butterflies, brown! Not sure why they feel like they need to say things? If it bothers them, turn the station👍❤️ I personally think we’re blessed that your willing to share your talent with us!!! 👍❤️

Your tunnel books are so creative! This is a great project that I would never have tried without your video. Your explanations and demonstration were excellent. Your sense of humor with the helpful hints you received was also very entertaining. And, hey, for one, brief, shining moment the under represented insects of the world got some glory! And a man fish! You don’t get to see those too often, haha! I know it must get annoying to have people focus on such small details and not recognize all the work that goes into making your videos. But the rest of us appreciate it! Very much!!

your brown Inked pages that are full of butterflies are FABULOUS!

Your final scene with all the other insects made me laugh out loud! Please don’t let the “Karens” of the world spoil your fun. There are plenty of us that don’t feel the need to critics your amazing work. I have always looked at tunnel books as something to complicated for me to try. Well you have completely changed my mind on that. The ease with which you completed this one is going to make me try my hand at it. Thanks for sharing! 🌹🌺🌸🌼

You are an incredible talent! As well as a phenomenal, inspiring teacher! You're a generous, fun person to share with us and with such detail. You ALWAYS give alternatives "if we don't have what you're using". Usually multiple ideas. And since I've been watching you for years, you always say, "it's totally up to you". You spread joy, and I seriously don't understand any comment that's not complimentary. Thank you!!!!

I love tunnel books! When I made them I made them a little different, they were only open in the middle, on both sides there were accordion folded paper and sceneries were glued on every second accordion fold, so when it was flat you could see the mishmash of the sceneries, but when you drew out the accordion folds the sceneries made a bigger scenery, like on the theatre stage. You could glue a door at the front so it would be like a mystery opening the doors and folding out the accordion folds at the sides! With different lightings it would be like a theatre stage scenery, and since it is an idea from victorian times I think they used it as theatre mementos too. You could also change sceneries out and make up your own stories with it.

Natasha, you use whatever you like, it’s your very own imagination that matters, your artistic licence allows you that. I’m with you regarding the inking, brown looks best! When paper ages it doesn’t turn blue or purple! Love your videos ♥️♥️♥️

💙💚🖤 Such an amazing idea! People are sooooo rude!!! If they don't like your tutorials, then why are they watching?!?!😡🤬

That's what I thought a first when I saw all your examples, wow how complex. But as usual you are so experienced at breaking down the process into manageable steps that it becomes quite do-able for anyone. As an art teacher of 32 years I give you an A+ 😊 Keep up the great work.

I love the way you met with the negative criticism. A prof of integrity and lovely character to answer with humor and not to hate back. ❤

The very first altered book I saw over 20 years ago (maybe longer) was a tunnel book done with a child's board book. Thanks for this!

Beautiful work, Natasha! My favourite part is the brown ink and butterfly 😝find it very difficult to understand why insects need representation in one's artwork. It's like telling a portritist that they're underrepresenting bodies.

Just wow. I have never seen this before. Awesome. Aussie here, too. You butterfly to your heart's content and brown those edges everywhere. Now my head hurts from all the ideas you have given me. ❤😂🎉.

Appreciate your ideas and creativity. Everyone can do their own thing. There is no such thing as wrong when it comes to creating a journal.

"YES!" to the pettiness 😉. Keep on doing you, Natasha. You're brilliant. 🦋

I love your sense of humour!😂 And your creativity of course!

lol I love how you deal with people who insist on having things their way! I wish people would just enjoy watching FREE tutorials! Anyway, I love these tunnel books! I have never made one before. But I will give it a shot. Thank you so much for using butterflies. LOL I much prefer them to the insects at the end of the video. But seriously thank you so much for sharing your tutorial. You do beautiful work And I love it. Hugs.Xx Robin.

Happy Easter Natasha! Thank you so much for sharing all your wonderful ideas! Trolls are everywhere it seems. Most of us respect your choices because they turn out beautifully. I believe most of us feel fortunate to be able to learn from you!

These are so pretty, they look complicated, but when you break it down it seems actually really simple. I got all kinds of ideas. I've been toying with aquatic themes a lot lately. And I could see a tunnel book showing going deeper under water, with creatures seen at darker depths. Or. Maybe a forest, wandering into a forest, or UP in the forest, ground level and climb up to the canopy like a rainforest or even a treehouse!! Maybe a drive to a vacation spot, like from Kansas to the beach showing terrain change . Or from a big city out to a rural countryside. Even a trip into outer space 🚀. You could even have a trip into the human body or into a beehive. That little window really draws you in and you want to turn the page

In the words of the great Tim Holtz-"you do you". I love butterflies too and have tons of dies and stamps of butterflies. I have a collection of infinity dies in different shapes and it will be easy to make tunnel books with them because they go from the largest one to the smallest one. Thanks for the great ideas!

I’ve always wanted to make one of these. Way simpler than I thought and you did a wonderful job explaining the process!

You had me applauding at the end with representing other insects and oddities. Well played. 😂😂. This was another magical crafting session with you. Many thanks!

When comments about another’s efforts cross the line from ‘instructive critique’ to merely critical it is really exposing the unhappiness and self-loathing of the person delivering the insult. Pity them and don’t give them a response. Don’t let their negativity distract you from watching creativity unfold. I did love your cynical sarcasm at the end of the video.

Never apologize for your artwork. It is your work. They can use purple and roaches and moths. Thanks so much for this excellent tutorial.

Natasha, you are a real artist !!!! Whenever I need an inspiration, I am looking for your channel and feel refreshed later on. Thank you so much my now "down-under-girl"! Many hugs from Berlin!

Love the humor people are so up tight just have fun and smile and be kind.

Every single video you mention you are showing how to complete a certain idea and you also say for us to make it our own from there. You using butterflies and brown is FINE. You use what you gravitate to and others can use what they want. Those comments to you are nonsense, and KEEP DOING YOU !! I learned so much from your tunnel book and can't wait to go make another one as i was making my first one while following your steps. 🧡🧡🧡

L0vE this idea! ❤🎉 I can't wait to try it out. ("Underrepresenting other insects" hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha! That cracks me up!) 😂😂

Thank you, this is such a cool concept! And I also want to say that I hope you don't stop doing what *you* like. It's nice to get other options placed out (I'm the kind of person that are very creative, but sometimes the "first step" eludes me), but you should do what makes you happy =) (the specific thing that sparked in my brain was when you were talking about the brown inking of edges and suddenly I realised that while brown/black is probably the one that is most natural to how paper ages ... I think I might explore with blues, greens and turquoises too, because that's how copper ages)

I enjoy watching these videos before going to sleep. Then I have nice things to think about and it is easier to fall asleep!

I'm loving this project! I also agree with so many viewers, you give us license and encourage us to create in a way that pleases us; therefore, you too create what moves you. Keep up the great work and know that so many of us find your videos inspiring and oh so creative!

Life is short. Enjoy your butterflies! This is a lovely project. Thanks for sharing.

Butterflies are wonderful. They should be everywhere, and when I try this they will be. Love this project. Thank you.

Thank you!! These are so cute and so simple!! Love them and your attitude and your humor!!!

😆 You do you boo! ☺♥ Your only concern needs to be what makes your creative heart happy! ♥

Echoing similar sentiments concerning your generosity! I’m happy to watch all of the ads-all the way through to the end-to support you; I turn down the volume and read the comments as I trust your followers’ creativity and good smarts. You’re not only innovative, you’re organized and share your instructions and allow for additional options. This is one of the very best tunnel book videos I’ve seen in years. Thank you so much for your unrivaled CLASS, elegance and moxie. ❤️

People always have something negative to say! I’m glad you put them straight. You do you!! Love your reply to those negative comments!!

You go Girl It's your art so do what makes you happy.... That is why we craft, to make ourselves happy.

Love this video as well as all of ur videos. I love your creativity. You are making things your way, you are only giving examples of things that could be made. Not everything is everyone’s style. Those negative Nancy’s either need to come up with their own creativity or use yours as a guidance to their nasty loving insects. They probably enjoy housing bedbugs, cockroaches, flies, gnats and stink bugs! But to each their own. You made me giggle when you added the insects to be a wise butt. Please don’t forget you can always block those who have negative things to say about your amazing creativity. I can’t wait to see what you come up with next!!

How awesome is this. I just think about including my drawings and creating unique books with my fairy tales and short stories, exclusive little treasures just for my own joy or as some gifts plus - as you suggested - theme books, little theatre plays and so on. Your creativity and well explained videos are just such a joy and inspiration. Thank you so much! You gave me the absolute joy of a bunch of new hobbies and crafts and how pleasant is that! By the way, never mind those kind of negative comments. Those people are unhappy, manipulative souls. Instead of seeing your generous videos as an enrichment and gift, and your creativity, art and awesome way to teach, they try to give you an itch of negativity. Never mind. Be sure, most people who follow you are inspired and greatful for your various contents.

And the fish with the human head said it all! hee hee hee. Great job on the tunnel books and thanks for your awesome instructions.

you are truly an amazing artist! You know what i love about your videos? you just don't show the end result you actually show how it is done in details.Your always giving tips and I love that!

I love how creative you are and the ideas you come up with are some I would never dream up - I appreciate you and your free videos! I find it interesting that instead of just watching someone else, people feel compelled to complain. I love butterflies and brown edges too. ❤ Keep doing you!

Ok, you really made me laugh at the end! These ideas are great. And frankly, while I don't necessarily love bugs for the most part, if that person wants to avoid butterflies in her project-go ahead! Don't complain about other people who do love using them! I really enjoy your creativity and doing things that you then share with us. Thank you!

Brown, being a neutral, goes with everything! Duh! Ima lovin your tunnel books!! And I sooo appreciate that you make so many examples to illustrate the variety one can achieve! I always look forward to seeing what you come up with next! No pressure… Till next time! 🦋🦋🐝🐞🦋🦋🦋

🦋💖🦋💖🦋 Thank you for so generously sharing your time and talent to make these tutorials! I'm always inspired by your tips and techniques! I was actually wondering if you would please incorporate 🦋 MORE BUTTERFLIES 🦋 into your videos... that is, only if you want to since it's YOUR art!!! 🦋😘🦋😂🦋

I think it was Thumper who said, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." Your books are interesting, innovative, and sweet. I have really enjoyed this video. It has set my creative juices flowing --- which is one reason you do these videos.

You do you!! We are blessed that you share your talent and ideas. You are joyful and so fun to watch. Thank you!!

Natasha, I'm glad that you do YOU! I live your creativity. You bring us ideas then we can create it the way that suits our individual liking. I personally only use brown or black ink. I love how it looks. I don't understand why some people complain. You do a great job and you keep it real! Continue the great job you're doing Natasha, so many of us love you 😘!

You do your thing Sweetie, negative people are just sad people. You are wonderful and this is such a fun project.🦋

What is life without the beauty of a butterfly or two or many 🦋🦋🦋

Thanks for this great video. I can't believe people take the time to criticize. For me, I also use what I have. I dont' have distress inks, so I used some old eye shadow to ink the edges. And yes, I used brown!

Natasha you’ve done it again! Another awesome idea! Don’t worry yourself with the negativity of others. It’s only a reflection of themselves. Some people aren’t happy unless they’re unhappy. You keep doing you. It’s obvious you are loved by many. 😊 Have a wonderful week. 😊

Love this! The ending was icing on a cake! I cracked up!!!🤣

I agree with you…do what makes you happy 😊that’s why we all have different artistic styles 🎨

Thank you! You and the butterflies demystified the process. Love your projects and ready happy they aren't crawling with bugs😉😉

INSPIRATION !! that is what you convey through your videos. Do not apologize for what you love doing. One cannot please everyone. 🤷🏽. But like previous comments : Thank you for your time in making these videos ❤❤👍👍

I agree, why people comment to criticize as to why you use brown or butterflies etc. You are teaching the technique and you always encourage others to do.their own thing. I do love that you address those comments in a kind way!! So glad I found you. I'm enjoying new ideas and all the inspirations!❤❤❤

Natasha, you're such a creative person. This is a great idea. ❤

You do you. Life is much too short to try to please everyone, so only please yourself.

You’re my favorite crafter! Thank you for sharing your ideas! You are truly gifted. Ignore any negativity.

I LOVE your humor! Love this idea too, I think kids would love a tunnel birthday card :)

I love these so much, Natasha! You had me cracking up over the "under-represented" insects! I love your tutorials and your amazing creativity!

Thank you for yet another inspiring video. So many possibilities for personalizing - with butterflies or other creepy-crawlies of your choice. Personally, I love butterflies, as they remind me that, although changes in life can be scary, they can end up being beautiful and free!

Thanks for showing how to do it. I always thought they were so tough. People want to complain too much! Don't listen to them!!

I love your idea of tunnel books, at first it did look quite tricky, but you explained it beautifully. TYFS! IDK why people think they can tell you what to put on YOUR channel. If they don't like it, then don't look. You're not forcing them to watch! Take care, see you soon. I do love your channel and your ideas 🤗

Love the ending 😂. Way to represent 😆😁😝😉. I’m not sure I will ever understand people. If they don’t like your content don’t watch it. I happen to think it’s fabulous ❤

Ohhhh Natasha … I just adore you!! 😂 those bugs, fish and such at the end just made me smile 😂. I mean LOL! I love butterflies and brown too. I have never heard you tell your subscribers that they “have” to use the exact same elements that you use. You have always encouraged us to use what we like or what we have in our craft rooms/areas. 🤦🏻‍♀️ for someone to say that was well… ridiculous in my eyes. I would like to be snarky about all the other bug stickers, book images and printables out there that feel slighted by you but I can’t because They don’t exist and as far as the living creatures? I can only assume they really don’t care because they are not fans of junk journals or books … the butterflies told them all the attention they were getting was a total nuisance so they, the other bugs, really haven’t paid you any attention. 🦋🤣😂🤣🦋 Orange you glad?

So LOVE your creative videos. How anyone could criticize you in any way is astonishing to me. I've never once in all your videos, thought of ever questioning anything you make, to me you are so perfect.💕 I'm with you, I love butterflies💘 And I ink everything, in brown, and occasionally black! Hate the colors! And believe me I've tried them ugh!!!! I still to this day, think of your story you told so long ago❤ You are brave and strong, to leave your home with nothing, as such a young child, is so heart breaking to me💖 I will ALWAYS think of you as a beautiful soul💗

Never mind them, You just keep coming up with great ideas and instructions.

I literally gasped when I saw all your books, they are incredible and utterly brilliant! Really must do one of these, so unusual! Thank you so much for yet another awesome idea ❤🏆
