When I was a kid I was obsessed with this book. 5 years later, I found it again! beautiful book!

Absolutely one of the most beautiful junk journals I have ever seen

I have special ties to the ocean and the mermaid journal went straight to my heart. You remind me of a precious aunt. She loved nature,the arts and every thing beautiful. She lived in a woodland area she named Forgotten Forest in a log cabin built by her husband and his brothers, and filled with lovely antiques and rugs left to her by her parents. Sounds strange, but they complimented each other, the ornate against the simple. She was well read and wrote a newspaper column free lance. She greatly influenced me. It is so special to be reminded of her when watching you and your talents on youtube. Thank you.

I can't even wrap my mind around the level of pre-planning this book requires.....to achieve the perfection of how each pages' wave compliments the one before and after. (apparently I can't even wrap my mind around how to describe it either) =) It is truly a work of art in every sense of the word. From the multiple techniques and materials, to the perfect placement of images behind translucent pages. Fabric arts, colour choices, dyeing and blending.....I'm overwhelmed by your skills. It's amazing. Absolutely THE most gorgeous journal I have ever seen. (I had to hit replay immediately after the first viewing. So much detail to take in....I'm in awe.)

It's like swimming under water! The pages a stunning!!!!! I'm going to have to watch it again!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!

I can't believe how many times I have revisited this particular video. From the first time I saw it, it remains one of my absolute most favourite works of art. It's just so stunning...and I'm quite certain I will visit again.

This has to be the most beautiful journal I’ve ever seen!!! The mermaid that lost it has to be heartbroken.

I've never seen such a beautiful journal until now...it's art~

If a mermaid had a journal...I love the way you have of looking at things. This really appealed to me because of the beautiful colors and papers you created. The washed-up mermaid really tickled me too.

I spent my youth in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Trip's to the beach was a treat for me. We didn't live by the ocean, but I could see it off in the distance. This book reminds me of that special time.

I have never ever seen anything this beautiful. So balanced, so peaceful so sea-ful. Truly

I love the uneven torn edges and the colors are just gorgeous! Beautiful journal.

I cannot believe I never left a comment about so beautiful a journal. A pleasure to watch again, thankyou for sharing.

Wow, wow, an absolutely stunning journal. So far my very favorite I have seen. Just amazing. Love the colors . Well put together and thought out. Everything matched. Love the pictures and charms Perfect.

As always, I would not be able to start writing in this book . It is so beautiful. Lucky lady who gets it .

What a beautiful tactile journal! I love all the colors, textures and bits and bobs. It is feast for the eyes.😍

This is the most stunningly gorgeous journal, so beautiful!

this journal is without exaggeration The Most Beautiful I have seen!!!!! Everything about it is top drawer. The recipient is one lucky customer. Peace to you and I'm glad you are just going through 'growing pains' and Not preparing to leave us yet. Peace to you. And...thank you for all your inspiration. ~~Sass

This is one of the most beautiful journals that I have seen.

Absolutely beautiful! I love the colored pages and touch of Silver on them. The way they look like waves is very cool too! Love the cover with the colorful fibers. TFS your amazing talent with us.

This is the most beautiful journal I've ever seen!!!

Absolutely love this Ocean journal! All of my favorite colors and so thoughtful on the embellishments and the common theme!

Jibid you are very gifted in every craft you turn your hand to. You have a rare quality of not only imagining how you want a theme to look but actuality making those dreams a reality. You have created a palette of blues any Impressionist painter would have been proud of and the ebb and flow of your silver tipped page edges, look every bit like white horses glinting in the sunlight. You take us down beneath the sea into a world of sea horses, shells scattered like broken necklaces along the sea bed and faint echoes of mermaids sighing as they wait for eternity for their one true love, ever watchful, of course for the fearsome giant prawn :-) Once again, my favourite poem makes an appearance, how can it not, its colours and dreamlike images are perfect for this theme. Your mind must be full of ideas just waiting to be explored, developed and produced. I'm not at all surprised that you want to spend your time on that. I am so excited about your upcoming tutorial. I have long wondered how you do your paper inking. I am so inexperienced in anything like that. I have a suspicion you will be much better at doing tutorials than you give yourself credit for :-) You have a lovely voice and a comfortable relaxed manner and if the odd thing doesn't go exactly as planned, as far as I'm concerned that in itself is a useful part of the learning process. Bye for now and thank you :-)

My God ..... You have the most beautiful journals .... and I've seen a lot of journals here on YT. But your journals are among the best.

Holy smokes! JUST AMAZING! Soooooooooooooo gorgeous in every way! Love it!

I have just about run out of superlatives to describe your amazing journals. This is stunningly beautiful! So artistic with the colours, design, inking, sewing, charms, quotes and so very much more. Without doubt, there is only one Jibid! Wow!

Holy Mackerel Batman!!! Never saw a prettier journal. Maybe none even close. You put so much thought into the detail and theme. I thought I WAS a mermaid, for a moment!!! Totally STUNNING! WOW! Your talent & creativity is amazing. I hope you are VERY PROUD of this journal. I'm proud FOR YOU! Whoever it's for, will be knocked off their feet. You are just too clever. And unique,....for sure! I'd love to see a video of when the client saw it for 1st time. Whatever did she SAY???!!! It kinda makes me dizzy with unbelief to watch this video. No joke. I can't imagine HOW long it took you, just to tear/cut all the paper into "waves"! You GO girl. You're amazing!!! I don't think I could give it away. I KNOW I couldn't. And the video is so calming & relaxing. A nervous Nelly like me, really appreciates that! I think I will be watching this video many times! Just YAY! 👏 👏 👏 Austin, TX USA

heheh I saw a comic once, on tumblr, about the prawns being the cockroaches of the sea. The mermaid was always scared of them in the comic, so maybe that's why xD

This has absolutely got to be one of, if not my very favorite journal!!!! It is stunning! (It doesn’t hurt that I am a lover of all things of the sea, and turquoise, aquas and ocean colors are my favorite!). But, your dying and inking techniques are so beautiful, as well as design, and stitching, page edges, and creativity. I’m in love!

So much I could say ! So I settle for beautiful, enchanting, and one very lucky lady to get this journal !

Oh Jibid. Speechless. What everyone else said 🐳🐬🐟🐠🐡🦈🐙🐚🦀🦐🦑 tfs xx

Your journals just blow my mind with their beauty and cleverness. The woodland journal is exquisite and I am doing some eco dying and printing to gather papers for a bird journal. I just adore your work!!!

Absolutely stunning! Great inspiration!

Jibid.. what a beautiful journey I just went on with you and this STUNNING journal ! I do understand you wanting to work out your ideas on YOUR Own terms... we love you and I do hope you will re visit this theme.. I think this is a favorite for me... again .. just STUNNING!!

This is one of the most unique and amazing mermaid junk journals I've ever seen! I believe that imitation is the best form of flattery....This has inspired me to attempt your brilliant ideas for a mermaid junk journal, but there's no way I'll even come close!

WOW!!! I want to be a mermaid spirit and dive into this book and live. 🐟

I can't think of an adjective that would properly describe the brilliance and gorgeousness of this journal, Jibid. I simply can't. Thank you for sharing this and I absolutely can't wait for your tutorial video.

this was a delight to look through. thank you.

I am absolutely taken with the beauty of this Journal. We are on this Journal Journey with you Dear Jibid, and I'm mostly sure I speak for all of us when I say we can't wait to see what wonderful surprises are just around the corner. 💜💚💙

once again the most beautiful journal, the owner will be so happy I am sure. Thank you for sharing with us.

This is museum quality work with the inking, images, eco dying, trims, stamping and overall quality. The recipient of this is truly blessed to receive such a treasure from your heart. I've never seen work like this before. You truly a maestro of junk journaling. Brava!!! I'd weep from the soul, in happiness if I ever received anything like this......

This is a masterpiece! The most beautiful journal I’ve ever seen!

Wonderful journal, especially the cover with all the gorgeous fibers!

What a beautiful journal. It is just magical. The inked pages and the way you tore the edges to look like waves makes feel as if I could almost reach out and touch water. You are such a talented person and we are all so lucky to experience your art. When you said you were going to make an announcement, I was so afraid you were going to tell us you had decided not to share your wonderful journals on KZfaq any longer. What a relief when you said you were just making some changes. Thank you so much for continuing to share your stunning work.

This book is stunning! When you fanned it out to the side, revealing all the lovely edges against each other I lunged forward to pause the video so I could take it all in! It's fantastic! Love your work; so inspired! Thanks tons for sharing!

Simply a tidal wave of beauty. Overwhelmed with your ability to put a story together with color.

What a perfectly gorgeous journal!!! Just breath-taking! And I adore the concept -- that if a Mermaid had a journal, this is what she would want it to be. I could not agree more! Your sensitivity & artistic rendering are simply exquisite!

It's very "ocean-ey". I love that. If I wasn't a human I'd be a mermaid, writing in that journal.

Really beautiful. Love the torn edges and overall theme.

This is so beautiful! I fell in love with all the tiny details and the ocean edge. It's a piece of art.

This is incredibly beautiful. It speaks to my mermaid soul. 💜

I have no words that could give justice to this amazing work of Art! Absolutely incredible!! I shall have to look at your other videos now. ...Perhaps tomorrow as it’s the small wee hours. Thank you for sharing your beautiful talent. Amazing! 💕

Love everything about this journal! Especially the coloring of the pages and the way you tore them to look like waves!

There are no words to describe how ethereal this journal is. ALL your work is above and beyond the realm of ordinary thinking and creativity. It’s one thing to be a prolific artist, and entirely another to be creatively inventive at the same time. You are certainly some talent to aspire to! I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for that tutorial! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!

This has to be one of the most stunning albums I've ever seen. I adore anything with a sea theme and this encompasses everything. I particularly love the wave edges of the pages, the beautiful inking and the different textures and stitching. Also, what a lovely piece of fabric you have used to put the book on while displaying it. The whole thing is a work of art. New subscriber!

totally absolutely wonderfully breathtaking !!!!!

Gorgeous! Beautiful! Awesome work of art!❤💕

LOVE this journal....love everything mermaid and sea related... Love all the techniques you've used. TFS

WOW 😮 amazing torn edges and ink dying is awesomeness

Superb design. I’m so happy you shared this beautiful hand crafted journal. So much imagination. Love it.

Your journals are beautiful works of art. I love the calming effect of looking through the beautiful dyed papers and the way you can make each page flow into the next (no sea pun intended, lol). Thanks so much for sharing your creations here. I love your videos. It is like sitting with a friend and drinking our tea or coffee as you show me what you have been doing lately. Hope you have a great day, Jibid.

The layers of the papers are beautiful , ohhhhh the colors are so lovely . Love Rini 😍

Gorgeous journal, the colors are so cotton candy yummy. Loved the old pictures of the fish and mermaids. I understand completely your need for slowing down the customs orders and work on ideas in your head. Much love, tfs

Thank you - a great inspiration! I think I will try something to make something similar for my granddaughter. Thank you for sharing. The owner of this book is very fortunate to have your wonderful artful skills!

Hello Jibid! I have finally been able to watch this vid and it is beyond special to see and hear you talk about the most beautiful journal I will probably ever own. I have been through every stunning page many times and each time discover more gorgeous and touching detail. I am truly honored to be the custodian of this work of art and will treasure it always. Thank you for making my mermaid dreams come true.

New subbie here for about two or three weeks and I knew instantly that I was viewing special artistry. Love everything I have seen. All works of Nature, Botanicals,Mountains and Forests and the Sea as well as literature and quotes and sewing appeal to me greatly and I like to incorporate some of those influences in my personal crafts but you truly have a gift for that. My words cannot do justice to this particular piece. Thank you for such beauty. Am so pleased to have found your channel. (I rarely post comments. Here I was obviously moved to write a bit, LOL)

Hi Jibid, If I ever was talented and creative enough to make a book like this, it wouldn't leave my house! It would forever live on my coffee table for others to flip through and enjoy. Maybe, someday, when I get my studio sorted out and everything in a place where I can readily find it, I'll make my own version of this. I'll need to watch more videos before I ask you any questions.
