Beautiful journal and story! I love the black and how you kept it all very neutral colors to go with it. Can't wait to see your next one lol

With the exception of Halloween, I don't usual;ly appreciate creating with black, but I am really curious to see the inside pages. LOVE all the dangles and drips I'm seeing...nice. At seeing how you have used pattern paper and pattern instructions, I'm beginning to regret having downsized my pattern drawers a number of years ago. Oh, well...such is life. Inclusion of that little sewing kit is a novel idea...terrific element in this book. My! What a book! Well done!! thank you for posting this video...much appreciated!!

Yes! I was skeptical of the black too as it can be so harsh. But in victorian times there was a lot of black so I used this to guide me. Thank you for watching and taking the time to write such an informative comment 🥰
