Oh, that binding looks so much harder than sewing! I love the look of the braying on the banana paper and the contrast of the grunge with the delicate flowers. Digital Collage Club is so much fun!

Very cute little book compilation - I especially love the purple packaging paper. I really love this style of grungy/shabby junk/art journal and I think the wonky irregularities add to the overall look. This binding style I’ve used before to bind some of my old greeting cards, that I’ve collected over the years, together into a book (better than having them stored away in boxes in cupboards etc where I never look).

@user-dx2vo6zm3i 3 ай бұрын

Thank you Barbara, very inspiring, I like it! What about the challenge of "Not one drop of glue?" Whithout a machine...

@49dragonflies 3 ай бұрын

😅

@allisonjames2923 3 ай бұрын

😳 That is definitely a challenge! Hmmmm 🤔 This technique could actually be done without glue if you use wire or cardstock or chipboard die cuts or even sticks in the “mountain peak” to lock the pages in place. You’d have to start with a super long piece of cardstock to get the front & back covers & cut the excess out to create the hinge though. And measure carefully to ensure you got enough cardstock to create some folds. Unless you just used the one fold & just had one big signature 🤔🤔🤔 Now you’ve got me thinking 😁

@RedArrowTinker 3 ай бұрын

I think this little journal is wonderful! Adding the gesso really helped the cohesiveness of the pages. I like the wiggliness of it too. The corrugated cardboard covers are just perfect. In a way, it reminds me of the magical creatures book from Harry Potter that snapped at the children when they opened it.

@49dragonflies 3 ай бұрын

Thanks so much! Haha that’s a funny picture in my head now with the snapping journal! 😃❤️

@bobbiwest6625 3 ай бұрын

I too love your colors in your journal. I went ahead and fixed a five signature trial journal. I did have to add more to my cut and folded strips. But it turned out ok. I added bands to the strips so my pages could be removed, or added to. Decided to only use it for coffee stained papers, or inked, or a few postage stamp papers. All to be used as originals, and copies made to use. Was a quicker project than expected, loads fun. Take care, be safe. Happy crafting everyone.

I love how your banana pages changed colors from purple to dark blue with the addition of your brayered paint. I love that color. I was so nervous during the binding part. It was so confusing for me. So when you finished it, I was amazed as usual. Barbara did it again. The papers are beautiful too. I love having access to the Digital Design Club printables. Just so beautiful. ♥️♥️♥️

I recently did a larger Alice in wonderland tunnel book and did an accordion spine. Which I was wishing the entire time I was trying to put this rather tall and wide tunnel book together, that I had two more hands. Thinking I would never do this again. But when done I really lov d the look of it and would do it again. I think same goes for this binding. I think I will have to give this a try.

Oh that's one of my most used kits, I love it 😍. Lol neutralise🙈. I love how gesso strengthens more fragile paper too. Oh great way to use the coasters! The cover is so CUTE 😍. Oh interesting! I've never seen this version of accordion style, I like that it opens page by page not all out. I have patience (being a lover of coptic 🙊) and enjoy trying new binding techniques. I love that you can add pages onto them too! Absolutely gorgeous 😍, I'll definitely have a go. Tfs and have a great day 💖💖💖

Hi angel 😇😘. I've never seen this method of binding before - it's pretty cool - different for sure! Last weekend and this weekend Natasa at Treasure Books is teaching us the Coptic method - I've done my homework and am ready for class tomorrow. Your vid reminds me how some gesso pushes stuff into the background but keeps it visible at the same time, and I love that, I just forget to do it! I use a lot of black gesso in my assemblage stuff but rarely reach for the white 🤷. I need to work on that, maybe even if I hafta put a note on one of the journals I'm currently working on... 🤔 Yeah! ... good idea! 💡 Thanks for the nudge!! 😉😁 Love you, sweetie, and I'll see you soon, MomK 🤗❤️🌵❤️🤗

Wow. I did not see this coming together. I think it's great and I will try it. I have made books before where you create an accordian the same height as the pages and then stitch the signatures into the valleys. The advantage is that all the accordian folds don't have to be the same size so you can create pockets from the folds or leave them narrow and decorate them. ❤

Oh my goodness!! That was fun! And majorly messy. 😂 Trying to keep the gesso off my laptop whilst I crafted along with you was a mega mission!! lol. However, I am super happy with the result. I only made 3 signatures with 4 sheets each, and it was a GREAT way to use up packaging paper that I had already stamped, splattered, and generally distressed. I agree, it's a bit fiddly when you're doing it for the first time, but most things are. And, at the end of the day, constructing a grungy wee journal in a few of hours is amazing for those of us who are 'time short'. Yay!! We made it!. 😊🧡💚🤎

I have done something similar. I use a card as long as my journal or mini album - just one strip. You can concertina it but I prefer a gap between the mountains - so say 1cm up, 1cm down, 5mm valley, then 1cm up and 1cm down, 5cm gap, etc. Then I glue my pages on the individual "mountains". It's beautifully sturdy but I wouldn't use it for a journal with a lot of pages. It could become very thick. Maybe just a mini scrapbook album. Love your creativity❤
