Same as many others…I just found your channel…binge watching here in the UK. It’s all in the detail and I can see how many time consuming extras you put in. I’ll bet a journal never goes unsold. I’m in awe 😊

Oh I love binge watchers! It makes me feel so special, thank you so much 💛💛💛 it also gives me hope that I'm not too repetitive!

The modern day piano was originally called a "pianoforte" because unlike the other similar strike-key stringed instruments of the time like harpsichords, a pianoforte could be played louder or quieter depending on how hard the keys were struck and a sound dampening peddle.

[@sara-leearmstrong5009]

Ooooooh thank you for that knowledge! So I'm guessing this might help date the sheet music possibly as well, I will look into this 🥰

Oh great! The hydrogen peroxide I used was 6% equal parts hydrogen peroxide to white vinegar, and I added lots of salt. (It doesn't seem to matter the quantity) I had 200 ml of liquid total, and I probably added 4 TBS of salt. Thank you for watching 😊

Hi 😊 thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment, each journal takes me about 2 weeks if I'm making them full time, I'll be back to teaching as of Monday so they are going to take me a lot longer!

I definitely want to make that 3-tab matchbook that was new to you as well. Love it!

[@sara-leearmstrong5009]

Yes! Do it! I'm not sure if you can tell from the vid, but it wraps around the page edge, the 3 pockets on the page prior are joined to it. I printed 9 pics on one A4 page in a 3 by 3 grid, I hope that helps 🥰

@@sara-leearmstrong5009 I figured there was a 2nd piece in there, since I couldn't get the measurements quite right without adding a 2nd piece for the flip-top cover and then noticed your pattern had continued. As for me posting, ha...well, I am a turtle-speed crafter. I made the mock-up with notes so I can remember it later. I have too many irons in the fire. (Note to self: Stop creating UFOs. Heh.)

New here. Beautiful journal. Can I ask what you mean by gel print?

[@sara-leearmstrong5009]

Hi 😊 sure, it's a monoprint printmaking process using a gelli plate, where you load the plate with acryllic paint (usually) and pull the ink from the plate onto paper. Loads of videos on here, that's in fact how I learnt this form of printmaking, well that and playing/experimenting 😄

[@3pocketsfull863]

Is the weed pennyroyal?

[@sara-leearmstrong5009]

Hi 😊 I wanted to know the same thing! I believe it called purple linaria, also known as purple toadflax
