The wall hanging consisted of “yo yo’s” often used in quilting. It’s a circle of fabric gathered around a smaller circle template. Your version is just as wonderful and creative ❤️

[@bittermelonbindery]

Oh thanks for letting me know!

[@teddybeeandme]

Happy New Year. Wishing you (and Elliot and Lucy too) Happiness and luck in your new apartment and new studio . Make the art that makes you happy not what you think other people want. If you are happy it will show in your work and people will love it. Your books are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your talent through your videos

[@Greenmaninthedesert]

So glad to see you making art again!

[@Kdmud]

Congratulations on your new home and studio. I’m a new subscriber and love your videos and your beautiful books and papers. I hope to see your shop open…no pressure, just appreciation for all the beauty and craftsmanship I see🙏🏽❣️

[@thaysporto9560]

Thank you so much for sharing with us your experiences. It brings me calm and it's sooo satisfying! 😍 Here in Brazil we call the fabric flowers that you wanted to do as "fuxico". It's basically circles of fabric, and you can sew around all over this and pull the tread. When you pull, the circle become smaller and looks like a flower. Then you can attach them... I'm Sorry about my english fluence. I don't practice so much. Love your contents here! Please, keep doing This! You are a sweet and admirable person. Congratulations!

Love your practicality and your studio set up seems very workable. I feel you will do wonderful things in your new studio.

Hello Chanel! So happy to see you doing videos and that you are getting settled and I love the wall hanging you made. ☺ You studio is looking amazing and I love that new guillotine you got, it looks like it will cut through anything. Looking forward to what's next, happy crafting! Take care! 💜

[@rayssamoraes7281]

I loved your new studio! It looks so comfy 💜 I went through the same process last month and I felt so happy when I finished and looked at my studio that I cried happy tears. I hope you’re happy too with your new space!!

[@Em-qw5th]

i really hope this year will be one of your best! so much work goes into these videos , and i know there will definitely be a huge increase in numbers. i look forward to seeing you grow ♡

[@jamiemaru_]

Happy Lunar New Year! I subbed right before your move, your craftsmanship is amazing!! I'm looking forward to following you and your journey this year 💕

[@shirleymurray8509]

Don't stress you do beautiful work. YOU GOT THIS!

[@izzie-digs-in]

Congratulations on your new home. Welcome to Los Angeles. I'm looking forward to following your journey in your new home and continuing on your channel. Your honesty is so refreshing. As someone who understands anxiety well, I find watching your videos to be extremely calming. Thank you for sharing your skill and life with us.

[@Gamarishi]

Heeeey, so good to see you setting up the studio! I hope you have a great time in LA

[@humblebee8028]

Really nice to see you back and getting set up. I look forward to your videos and following your new life in LA. I know that creating You Tube videos is often a means to developing a market, however many of us viewers watch for the purpose of developing our own techniques and skills. Building an awareness and appreciation for book binding through showing your work, your processes and tutorials is a good thing for everyone and it will expand your customer base. Stay well and keep building your dreams!

[@alrighty_peach]

This channel gives me peace of mind I'm currently going through a lot mentally and my creativity is just stifled thank you for this

[@SciencePotli]

273❤️ Wow! Amazing work. Great upload friend 💐👍👍👍

[@atelieremily28]

Thank you so much for your lovely and relaxing video's! A tip on storing large sheets of paper: I use the largest kitchen cabinet from Ikea, without a front and lots of additional shelfs, to separate the different paper types. Not as enjoyable as drawers, but very cheap!

[@wayneshirey6999]

I'm a new subscriber who's hoping you'll find that balance you seek. I've enjoyed your videos very much so far. Don't ever forget to have fun.

[@aubreegrant2231]

Just came from your tiktok, so happy to find out you have a KZbin!

[@AC-cg3bv]

Love the new space and great that you are settling in. You inspired me to make my own hook press..not had if I say so myself. I used two Asda (Walmart for you I think?) Cutting boards and it looks ok! Look forward to seeing what comes next ☺️

[@victoriaolofsson7229]

Love seeing you set up and can’t wait to follow along on your up coming projects. I can recommend IKEA’s ALEX drawers to store paper in. The only downside with them is that they might not be big enough for you.

[@mehtarelingolien]

I am really intrigued with the knitted book cover we got a glimpse of when you were unpacking that box! Any chance we could see how that was made?

[@niniseconda5839]

How are you so small? The video quality is amazing!

[@lory1117]

Love everything thank you for sharing. If you don’t mind I’d love to know where I can get a clear work mat like that? ❤️

[@saskia16672]

Thank you for sharing the viedo, it is oaky to be nervius and anxious just try your shop in small batches, so that you get used to the new location that you send from. I aadmore yourself greatly! But dont forget that when a creator creates there best work comes from shariinng content they love as well as what there adenice wants coeing from past experiance if you only serve yu audiance youll get burnt out! Anyway thank you very much for sharing !

[@Kuesa]

Not quite sure what your situation is like but the LA postal system is pretty wild, at least for me, whenever I send packages through the LA network it seems to go through some sort of wormhole haha

[@amandawaite7469]

What is the name of your cutting Mat? I love youre video's. They help me with my anxiety so much.. Much love.

[@pixelmountainstudios]

Hay, love your new studio and your book blogs. I am new to Book Binding. But have a question. What do you use for your music source? Love the soft jazz.

[@bittermelonbindery]

I get my music from Epidemic Sound!

Aqui no Brasil chamamos isso de "fuxico", esse ornamento que fez. Fazemos um pouquinho diferente mas o seu deu muito certo também :)

[@humblebee8028]

Would you make it out of paper or fabric?

[@lidiarmarra]

@@humblebee8028 Fabric☺️

[@lidiarmarra]

@@humblebee8028 kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipm9oaiZastsi80 It is in portuguese but you can get the ideia behind how to make them.😅

[@SusanaLeonPerez]

Hola. ¿Puedes recomendarme una guillotina para comprarme? ¿Puedes decirme cuál es tu modelo, por favor? Muchas gracias.

[@Mindshiftmastery2525]

Hello. What are you supplies that you put in the drawer label, soft cover? Is that your spacers? If so, did you make them your self? How did you make them? Where did you purchase your spacer and the wood sticks? What are the wood sticks called? Sorry just inquiring mind. Trying to start my book binding business of my own. Thank you.

[@bittermelonbindery]

They are all guides that I made for my own designs that took a lot of trial and error. The wood sticks are actually double pointed knitting needles. I recommend the DAS bookbinding KZbin channel for more technical knowledge that you're asking about!

[@Mindshiftmastery2525]
