A flip-through of two of my collage art journals. I show you the kinds of vintage ephemera I constantly drawn to use, and some of the themes of the pages I've created.
A few links for items mentioned in this video:
Spiel geld - play money (paper coins). They are out of stock at the moment, but I got them here: www.vintage-ornaments.com/cra...
Some of the pages in the "Valuable Papers" gluebook came from the digital kit "Gentlemen and Scholars" from: www.ephemerasvintagegarden.com/

What fun--I searched a bit for some history on that black folio--did you find anything? I think my favorite part about this video is that gorgeous b-roll of your shelf FULL of completed journals with those beautifully stitched spines. W🤩W --soooooooo awesome 🤗

Oh my.....just seeing all your journals lined up was amazing. I want to come to your house and just sit and look though all those gorgeous pages. You are so talented and creative. Love your videos. :)

Thank you for sharing your books! I absolutely love your creative style. It is thoughtful, classic and restrained. You can see the amount of thought and care you have taken selecting the best ephemera for a page. I love learning from your examples. It is “training’ me to not rush through a project haphazardly placing ephemera wherever there is a spot.

@@TheCrabbyCrafterlol nothing so glamorous! I was a heroin addict for 30 years before I met Jesus. It's a reminder that an ill-spent life leaves nothing of value behind except 'Skeletal Remains'. Now I'm an altered book/junk journal artist, wife, mother, and homeschooling grandma. Big change, lol. I do love all literature including Poe. My fav is the Tell Tale Heart. I use to read a lot of true crime but began to think the clerk at 7-11 looked a little suspicious, lol. Your name also sounds like it might have a story?

I love your spines that look like Corsets! I bet the insides are beautiful too. You make glue books that are brilliant. In my mind, I’d just be glueing down pictures I wanted to keep. But not in any special order. Lol. Your pages make me want to stare at each piece slowly. And study everything. Just amazing. 11:39 was too fast!! Lol

I remember when I was younger our insurance salesman left a similar portfolio for my father to put his new insurance policy in. There were other blank envelopes to add other important papers: house deed, adoption papers, birthday certificate, marriage certificate, etc. FYI

Margarete, that is not a birth certificate: the Mormons all over have to collect their genealogy and family tree, and they have those special papers to put their family lineage on them. I have some that my cousin gave to me (she is a Mormon); the Temple in Salt Lake City has copies of all of the members of their church's genealogy papers.

@jeanbeck3962 2 жыл бұрын

The LDS church has a geneolgy library. That's where they keep history, not in the Temple. People of any religion can go there to research family histories.

May I ask where you found all of that foreign currency? I love it!

@MargareteMiller 2 жыл бұрын

There was a vendor in an antique mall in Salt Lake City, that had a big box or currency. He was selling them for $1 a piece, which could be quite pricy, if you get a lot, like I did, but to me it was worth it. I could pick the ones I wanted, and there was quite a huge selection. I was happy with the purchase. You can also buy currency online, on Ebay, for example. I've gotten some there, too.
