These are simply *stunning*. I also color the edges and creases of my papers only I use an alcohol marker close in color to the object I'm making. Thank you SO much for the tutorial and especially the free printables. I've been looking for these for a long time.

Ive just discovered your channel - it is indeed a wonderland - an inspiring and 'illuminating' place to watch a master miniaturist at work. Thank you so much for such comprehensive tutorials. You are clear, precise and your attention to detail is amazing. I make dioramas and your passion for making miniatures has given me so many more ideas or solved problematic conundrums I've encountered when making miniature books! -thank you so much. I will be eagerly awaiting more from your superb channel. An aside; I have a tortoiseshell cat (Ethel) who sits with me in my studio, your brush thief gives my balsa strip nibbler a jolly good run for her money!!! They're such adorable companions and comical too!

As for cats... yours sounds fabulous!! 😁😁🐈⬛️😻 Their job is purely to annoy us at critical times, and to feel that they are always and forever the centre stage of our lives! If they could, they would sit on our heads while we work! 😁😘💗 Love and warmth, Irene xx

Thank you so much for this video, instructions and free gift. I live so far away from the countries or cities where you can find these supplies (farm in the south of Chile) I appreciate deeply your generosity. I am just so sorry I did not discovered this before. The way you work with them.. so gentle and professional, knowing each detail counts... my respect and admiration. Thanks again!

What a beautiful soul you are 💗... thank you Elisa for taking the time to express how you feel. I truly understand your feelings... when I discovered miniatures I too was mesmerized and captivated ❤️. I thought, "There must be a way to show others how to make them too"!! Yes... detail is everything in this game 📖📕. I'm very grateful that you find my DIY videos helpful... I really believe it helps to show people how to help themselves 😊. As for the supplies... I too am isolated from easy access. Unfortunately the South African postal system here has collapsed, so I resort to courier delivery only. Some supplies are obtainable here, but thankfully I can make use of Amazon!👏🏽 I know you will have a lot of happiness and fun creating these little books... you will get lost in the creative process! 🥰📕📗📘 Love, Irene xxx

I love the most that you don't have a bunch of banal chatter like so many KZfaq crafters that ruins those videos for me.

I was watching another video from another channel, the mobile phone slipped in my hands, and this video started instead. Wow, how lucky am I! Great video! Edit: Oh, the irony. I just realised that since I haven't got a printer, I'll have to go to the library and use theirs...😂

Hello Karin!! What a wonderful comment to receive... I had such a giggle! 💗😊😊 I'm so glad your phone/finger slipped, otherwise we wouldn't have met! Thank you for the kind comments 🌸 I'm so happy you're eager to create the little books, even though you don't have a printer!! 😊 Yeah, my own printer is pretty useless for good printing, so I take all my work to a specialist print shop... that gives me much better results! I really hope you come right, and that you have lots of fun! Love, Irene xxx 💗

I have just found you, and your books are absolutely marvellous. I don't know how to print them out though. I'm new to crafting. 🙂
@ladyminiac 2 жыл бұрын
Welcome Alison! 🥰 I'm so glad you like them 💗💗 I don't know if I understand you correctly though... do you mean you can't download them, or can't print them? Firstly, download / save the files onto your computer desktop or folder. I try to explain as much as possible about the printing on the first video (Part1). The trickiest part is to print the back-to-back pages as accurately as possible. My own home printer is not great, so I save the printables on a USB stick and take it to a specialist printing shop. Their printing is so much better than mine, and they have a printer that can print on the front and back of a single sheet. If your home printer quality is fine, print 16 pages (one-sided), then turn them over inside the printer tray (check the direction they need to face first!) and print another 16 pages (on the back). That should do the trick! I hope that answers your question and that you come right, Alison! 💗💗😊📕📖

@ladyminiac 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Sandra, thanks so much! The clear lacquer I used is gloss, I should have mentioned, sorry. Mine is a general lacquer, (not specific to craft making) but I suppose if you have the choice, craft lacquer would be the safe bet for you. I hope this helps!

Hello Janet! Firstly, thank you so much for your very kind words and for your support! Thank you so much for telling me about the SA miniaturist page... I had no idea there was one of those! 😳. Supplies and printables links are in all 3 of the video descriptions, as well as on my website blog... (I see you've found them) 😊🙂 As for the plastic half rounds... in South Africa you can get them at Esswex Hobbies in Randburg esswex.co.za/ Although the half rounds aren't appearing on their website, that's where I got mine. You can call them to check, and they do deliver. Otherwise, you can perhaps order the half-rounds from either of the 2 overseas links on my video description. Enjoy making your little mini books xxx 💗

All 3 links are there together, the third one is the link to my website shop. I've just gone in and checked, it is definitely active. What happens when you click this link (below)? ladyminiac.com/product/medieval-mini-book-pages/ It should take you directly to my website shop. I am so sorry that you're having trouble, it shouldn't be this difficult for you😓😢 If for some reason you still can't connect, you are welcome to go to my website www.ladyminiac.com and then go to the Shop page, where you'll find the Mini Manuscript Pages. I truly appreciate that you're taking so much trouble. PLEASE let me know if you come right? Irene xxx
