MAKING ANOTHER LIBRARY BOOKNOOK (with over 700 books)

[@jeffhafer5669]

Wonderful video! Your English is very good and your voice fits well with the style of your creations. Use it as much as you want!

[@J3unG]

I agree. She should speak every once in a while would clarify her method and techniques. Her English is very, very good. I am in San Francisco, California and can understand her very well.

[@halford8297]

Agreed! Her voice is also very calm and pleasant

[@nadurkee46]

Perhaps some of both? You do you, whatever works. This video was a joy to watch.

[@jmmartin7766]

💯 - Came here to say these very things... subbed

[@davidf9257]

This is the first video of yours I’ve seen and I loved it. Personally, I much prefer it when creators of any kind explain what they are doing. Your voice and English are wonderful so there’s no need to be self-conscious.

[@SuSang666]

I know you asked the question a year ago now but I totally agree with this comment (except I've just watched the little room video and loved it). Your attention to detail and the ability to make 738 tiny little books!! leaves me speechless! Your English is great and a little explanation here and there (doesn't have to be all the way through the video) would be great - and save you having to type a lot of replies. Your music is great too. Thank you!

[@rafiqkatana]

This was the first video of yours I've watched. I really enjoyed it. Props for sticking to making enough books without giving up. I look forward to any other videos of yours.

[@Enigmixter]

Same here

[@ThompsonBrosStudios]

love how the mirror makes it look like it goes around the corner. well done.

[@pandapanda8354]

You have such attention to detail! So meticulous. I adore how you aged the maps. And each candle is so realistic that I feared one misplaced candle might burn down the library lol! I can’t wait to see more of your videos

[@AToewsArt]

I like it when a creator actually shows how they make their projects. I love to follow along and try to create my own projects using their work as a guide.

[@ChrispyP]

Incredible work! Absolutely love how soothing the videos are and I don't think you speaking every now and then would interrupt that vibe at all! Your English is really good too, no need to be embarrassed.

[@JamesMartin-wg5hg]

This project looks great. The individual books look very nice and I think the effect is worth the extra time. In my opinion you should speak as much as you feel comfortable with in your videos. This style is relaxing to watch and your English was easy to understand so more talking is fine too. I really enjoyed this video.

[@tamara9186]

My goodness that is gorgeous. I love how you angled the mirror to create the reflection. I bet you *were* going nuts making books. I just finished a bookshop, and (right now anyway) *never* want to make another book again. Your English was perfect. This was my first video I've watched of yours, but I enjoyed you talking in it.

[@lisanidog8178]

Your English is perfect. I think whatever makes you more comfortable to do when it comes to explaining while you do stuff or just doing it without talking. I just love watching artists silent or talking.

[@wargamr]

Perfect amount of music. Perfect amount of talking! And perfect amount of detail into an amazingly pleasing little diorama! Wish I could place it on my own library bookshelf in-between some of my favorites!

[@AudriannaB-World-Peace]

Your English is beautiful and there is no need to be shy about it!🌟. This is the first time I have seen one of your videos and it was really amazing how you did this!

[@alexf2316]

Great video! The combination you create with chill music and your building makes it very watchable. I think you have a great voice, & your English is excellent. I know that it can be difficult to find the right word sometimes, but you could always edit out any mistakes later or leave them in--you're human & mistakes are part of learning. Alternatively, you could type up an FAQ with answers to the most frequently asked questions you get about your techniques and building supplies and link to it in your videos. Then you could just talk about special techniques used on the specific project featured in a video. Whatever you do, please keep making these videos. I am so happy to have found your channel.

[@hankfoto]

I don't think I would have the patients nor the steady hands to do it. You are a very talented artist and I really love your work plus attention to detail. Keep at it you are a master of your craft!!

[@DarkRumAgain]

I just discovered your videos today, and you, with nerdforge , are my two favourite artists producing miniatures. I enjoyed your calm, measured, speaking voice. I look forward to more videos. Cheers.

[@emilyrln]

I personally prefer it when people talk in videos, but do what you're comfortable with. Your English is excellent and your accent is very easy to understand (imo at least). Exquisite build!!

[@kimnobles7687]

I just found you, and I love your work! I'm an ESL teacher, and your English is fantastic!! I would love more commentary such as thickness of cardboard, what you use for book covers, and dimensions of your build. Thanks!!

[@bernzweig12]

Another ESL teacher here - certainly your English is excellent! Not to mention your talent is through the roof... omg. Thanks so much for filming this!

[@khti1097]

This is the first video of yours I watched. I was looking for a complete Book nook creation with books and yours was the best. I like when everything is made rather than assembled from a kit. Keep it up. You are blessed.

[@rufiredup90]

This was such a gorgeous creation. I love miniatures and I love books and this is just absolutely lovely to watch. Wish I was hard working enough to create my own but alas I’m too lazy.

[@jackmckinnon3531]

Your English is a pleasure to hear. Talking about something you learned in the process of creating might be very helpful to creators and pleasant to listeners. Possibly creating a break for you and the viewer. Just like the commentary in this vlog. Thank you for your work.

[@shilla99]

This looks so friggin amazing. You did a wonderful job. Love the mirror part. Makes it so magical.

[@joycesamshogan7947]

You, my precious grandchildren. Are also loved. Mimi thanks you for giving her such a great idea. It's So Amazing.

[@karenmusa3052]

Your patience is amazing and so are your dioramas. Thanku so much 🥰 Your English is just fine hon, well done.

[@URFriend4Eva]

Adding an infinity mirror to make the library look enormous would be very cool too. You do amazing work. I enjoy it so very much.

[@alien6091]

So glad you pushed through making all those books because the result is breathtaking

[@bruce-le-smith]

Thank you! The long line of book covers glued onto cardboard and then cut apart is really smart, at first glance I was imagining painting them all or trying to glue them individually.

[@ayudhnandi2262]

this is so pretty Katharina.. absolutely love the kind of dedication and attention to detail that you have. keep 'em coming.

[@annaravenbennett7321]

Please, I love hearing an artist explain their methods and techniques. It helps me when I go to make my own miniatures, if I understand how someone else has dealt with these issues.

[@GirlGeekLovesStampin]

You’ve got the patience of a saint! Your videos are perfect as they are in my opinion. Thank you for sharing your art.

[@Mrpablopippi]

Yes,continue talking with us, your voice and your contend it's amazing!!

[@happymv5350]

Brilliant. Amazing work Katharina.

[@JaneyRedBrick]

Yes, talk, explain, please do that! Your English is nearly perfect, you speak better than many native speakers. Do not let that stop you. Your project is amazing, I am so inspired.

[@Wolfhailstorm]

I've seen the little assembly sets advertise a lot lately and they are so me! Super cute and cool that you made your own!

[@odettenassar]

Yes, please explain your processes. Your English is very good. Your skills and persistence are super!

[@sshisshulya]

Это была самая достоверная работа из всех, виденных мной ранее! Кропотливый труд, невероятная точность! Восхищаюсь вашим подходом к творчеству!!!!!!❤️‍🔥

[@gertrudemikos7041]

I like when people talk and explain tips. It feels like I'm visiting and creating miniatures with you.. keep up the good work.

[@jemormaypa4005]

Your patience and determination is amazing! You deserve more subs!

[@matthewizen]

Absolutely lovely. And you voice is appreciated! We enjoyed you speaking.

[@evanlane1690]

Wonderful and inspiring work! The narration is great and I enjoyed it as well.

[@zainaman710]

Thank you so much for this. This is the best thing I have had for my insomnia and depression. lots of prayers.

[@biaenksb8437]

Wenigstens musstest du die Bücher nicht noch selbst schreiben ;) Sieht wirklich toll aus und die Detailarbeit ist immer das, was ewig dauert und einem die Nerven raubt und die Hände schmerzen lässt :) Aber das Ergebnis ist es immer wert. Und auch wenn man froh ist, dass es für den Moment vorbei ist, macht man es ja doch immer wieder. Viel Erfolg weiterhin!

[@lahaza6515]

I do not know HOW I had the luck of having your channel, but I'm gobsmacked at your detail & TALENT! Not only is your work incredible, but you chose such un-obnoxious music to go with it. I feel soothed & inspired!

[@pimphatwaggoner1655]

simp

[@collectpanda3350]

A lovely video! Your presentation style is really soothing, and I think your commentary on specific actions would make an excellent edition to future videos. You present everything so clear and your English is perfectly good too!

[@christytarner9399]

I just found your channel. You're so creative. As far as the speaking part goes, whatever you feel comfortable. Your English is perfectly fine, and I find your voice to be incredibly soothing to listen to. But just whatever you feel comfortable with.

[@sallycrimmin4616]

This was so lovely to watch! Your attention to detail is remarkable, and this would look so great on my bookshelf! 😍😃

[@betsyhughes2208]

A mix of both, moments of you on camera & voice over. But it's all very easy to follow & not every country gets the same materials, what you do & the way you do it shows me I can use things I can get in Australia. Lots to videos I'd have to go online order from overseas, pay huge shipping costs and hope to heck they get here & I live in a small country town!!! So thank you, very much for making me believe I can do it too!!!😊🤗😘👍💖❤️💋🇭🇲

[@johnboulton1109]

Wow! By far one of my favourite book nook designs, the individual books took you a long time to make, but we’d definitely worth it! As for your English, I don’t think you have anything to worry about there, you come across clear and well spoken. Looking forward to seeing your other projects!!

[@the_other_apg]

Another labour of love and yet another great library! Brilliant effort! Re you talking, I am 100% with what James M. said

[@DeyanRip]

Wow, your art is amazing and beautiful 😍

[@TABarnhart]

no real objection to voiceovering, but i do enjoy just watching the work with the music in the background. the captions suffice for explanations. too many YTers think they have to talk endlessly. i love how you transform bits of paper, wood, cardboard, etc, into these dioramas.

[@donnaheitmann6187]

Hi! Your work is amazing and inspiring!!! I think your English sounds great to me!!! So, no need to feel self conscious) some explanation would be helpful- especially for materials; however I really enjoyed the relaxing music and just watching you work. Text was helpful! 1. My questions: what material are you using for the walls (outside structure)? 2. What material are you using to wrap the book covers over, was that same wood as shelves? Many, many thanks!!!

[@releasingendorphins232]

What an absolute Masterpieces in Miniature. Your work is astonishing. I can't imagine the total time invested in your Library. It should be displayed in the Smithsonian or somewhere Spectacular for all the world to see. I enjoyed the sound of your dialect. You sound more English than most English speaking people in America. You do you and continues to shine. Happy New Year, 2023. May you be protected in all ways. Thanks for sharing your incredible talents and hard work.

[@shobanaranjit1150]

Can you do a tutorial on how you exactly make the books!

[@УльянаБабкина-ы5й]

tell me when it will be

[@melyucel891]

Yeah, it’s crazy how the cardboard looks like pages - I can’t work out how :)

[@paulhancock7670]

Really enjoyable video and a brilliant project well made. As a modeller of 20+ years I'm impressed. More please ! Thank you for sharing.

[@valeinara1772]

You could try out both. An intro or outro with explanation of your materials (/etc if it's not too complicated). I found this current style a bit refreshing, nice music to listen to while watching the processes happen, since I also watch North of the Border and he's full of entertaining commentary. (Also how I ended up finding this - I looked for Book Nooks after watching two of his videos, and when I saw "Library" I went yas.) I also have to say, this makes me kinda want to try and make a portion of the Sharlayan Library from FFXIV lol

[@leonard_9500]

Really cool. Cutting the lamp in half and gluing it directly to the mirror would make the illusion even more convincing.

[@feodeo7878]

Зеркало дало возможность сократить количество книг, увеличив библиотеку магией. 😁 Рада, что увидела это замечательное, созидательное видео. 😇🍀

[@hobblit2002]

I felt that groan in my soul! I'm new to miniatures. Love your videos.

[@anitablakeman9257]

hi, I've seen two of your videos now and I think your amazing. Question what do you use for the miniature book covers? and talk if you want too. I like to watch you work. all the best Anita

[@katharinahandmade619]

Thank you so much, i appreciate you being here! For the miniature books, i use very tiny photos of book covers that i printed out. I purchased a digital file with book covers on Etsy and i‘m very happy with them. :)

[@nimbusthegreat]

Wow! Amazing work! I just discovered this video tonight and think it’s truly awesome. And yes, the non-chatty vibe is cool, but I also enjoyed hearing from you. As for your English? You’re a pro! Don’t let that stop you if you want to talk. I understood everything you said and think it’s awesome that you did this in your non-native language! Seriously. You are awesome!

[@chimpalienbaby7312]

Maybe a bit of both only when you need to explain something?

[@katharinahandmade619]

Thank you, that would be exactly how i would do it. I would definitely not talk throughout the entire video :)

[@ivaarts3725]

First-time viewer here, don't worry about talking in your videos, your accent is adorable and it makes you unique. Do it if it comes naturally, people will ask questions in the comments if they want to find out about something you didn't mention. :)

[@sadeaton]

That was fun to watch and thanks for sharing, your tolerance for tediousness is off the charts.

[@silmarienlalaith1460]

Thank you for this video. I’m having a really hard night and your creative process brought me some joy and relief. Thank you.

[@MindMapPlanner]

Your work is exquisite. Your voice is soothing and will only add for those who need it. And it would help with the instructions as well as making it an enjoyable video. Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing your art.

[@shannonellis2746]

Amazing! I love miniatures, but don't have the patience or time to make any. Glad some people do & allow the rest of us to watch.

[@lisanidog8178]

Art supplies are to me like cooking ingredients. You lay ‘em down and get ‘cooking’ on projects. Thanks for the idea of diluting Acrylics. I’m gonna try that.

[@teresaturner5115]

I have just found your channel. English is my only language-- your English is very good and I enjoy hearing your voice along with the music and speed of putting the project together. I would enjoy learn working in miniature. Wi)) keep watching for ideas and hoping you explain more. Thank you 😊

[@Hugotje1]

Hey Katharina, I understand your self consciousness about talking a secondary language completely. I had the same thing when I didn't feel confident about my level of German initially. But as someone who spent a lot of time in the last few years talking with a plethora of different Germans, from young to old, I have to say that your English pronunciation is very good, and while it's obvious that it's not your first language, and you haven't mastered it yet, it doesn't form a hindrance in the video. Loved the style, love the attention to detail, love the general feeling throughout the video. Will check out more of your vids.

[@lindafredtrauffer8175]

Talk, oh yes! … as needed! Also, your English skills are excellent! Enjoy your book nooks and the background music! 💜📚💜

[@sshaw4429]

I loved doing things like this when I was young. Still love miniatures. Lived in Japan for 10 years, they love miniatures too! Heaven.

[@maryjanew20]

Your English is very good, your voice is very pleasant and the background music you choose is soothing, so yes I would love to hear you describe and/or explain what you’re doing. It’s nice to have a healthy balance of both visual instruction and voiceover instruction.

[@mikek458]

Thanks Katharina really enjoyed this first vid of yours I've seen guessing many more please, also please explain the process easy listening and very relaxing you make it look easy.

[@shaynecoventry8894]

Yes and I love your background music too! Please explain away. This video has been very calming

[@nandeyano]

Applauds from Japan. It's just amazing... I love to see you both making miniature stuff and talking about it, by the way. Your work let me imagine someone in your small library. Your English is also fantastic.

[@jakobeast]

I've been speaking english for about 49 years, and you're doing just as well as me. Probably better, honestly. Great video, cool project!! Looking forward to more!

[@cismix3412]

I never would have guessed that English is a second language for you. You're very well-spoken and easy to uunderstand. Please do speak often, to clarify techniques. I enjoy your videos!

[@lisanidog8178]

What a beautiful library you made. Looks warm and inviting. Well done.

[@Lellba47]

This is wonderful! It may be a good idea to add a glass pane on the open side to avoid dirt and dust to collect inside, but it looks amazing! love the mirror idea!

[@joanware6473]

Love it, just what every one needs on their bookshelves, and your English is perfect.

[@mn4169]

tutorials of different builds, materials and construction, the ones people have asked about. Your English is fantastic.

[@chunkybird1241]

I am so familiar with the 3:16 feeling when in the throes of a project

[@timothyperrigoue3997]

You have a soft, clear voice which is easy to listen to. If descriptions are not too uncomfortable for you and it does not become an editing hassle for you, by all means add your instructive voice. I love the precision and dedication you are exhibiting.

[@cindyvincent6356]

Fascinating! This took a lot of skill, creativity, and patience. I love miniature worlds. Thanks for sharing. From Oklahoma, USA.

[@Enigmixter]

A true show of dedication to your work. Keep it up and don't be discouraged: time and patience will pay off eventually. You're already skillful, you can only get better ^^

[@seesterran3822]

I love having you narrate your videos!

[@LandNfan]

Fascinating! No need to be self-conscious about your English. It is certainly better than my German. I’ve always been fascinated by miniatures, one of the reasons I’m attracted to model railroading. I wish my craftsmanship was even half as good as yours.

[@glenn_r_frank_author]

Love the angled mirror idea to make it look like the shelves continue around the corner!

[@CorpseBride64]

WoW, this is an insane amount of work. How fabulous, I truly enjoyed watching you.

[@scottdahl1938]

You're so cheerful as you do what you enjoy!

[@Dezertroze43]

OF COURSE I personally want u to talk. Your voice is lovely, ur English is excellent and u have a sweet humble spirit. I LOVE watching u work and ur detail always amazes me. Big hugs from Upstate NY.❤❤❤

[@marlareg]

To be honest I would love to hear you explain your process in your videos! Amazing work by the way, I love it. Thanks for sharing

[@rienvanveen9470]

Just a few days ago I discovered your video's. I love watching them. It works very soothing to me in different ways. Watching you creating a masterpeace of art and also the result of a book nook standing in a bookcase is like be on vacation at a few square inches. For me it ''s oké if you're talking during your video's. I like the sound of your voice and i think, just because English is'nt your first language, it is easier to understand and to follow what you are saying. At last; thank you for your positive words during and after your video's. You're also be loved. 10:37

[@hannahz245]

You are my favorite person ever!!! I can’t wait to learn so much more from you!!!! You are so talented ❤ I am so blown away and proud of your patience and creativity! You are incredible, keep that shit up. You have made my whole day just seeing you make something so beautiful. I appreciate you ❤

[@angelamedwid]

I noticed this post as I thought it was a full-sized book nook within an actual house, so thought I'd like that in a section of my home. Yes I was completely fooled at first glance. LOL I want to shrink down and live in a place like you constructed, of course, I will require some real books! About 500 should do nicely. Your work is truly amazing, you will soon be hired by Wes Anderson or someone like him for cinematic work no doubt. As to speaking, this vid had just the right amt. & a nice human intermission. It is nice to see & hear the artist behind the work. Thanks for doing what you do. It is comforting but super creative.

[@TheApplesauce1992]

the attention to detail is EPIC!

[@Lisargarza]

I vote for Don’t Talk. You’re voice is lovely and all, but I think your editing skills are just perfect to explain and inspire. You don’t need it.

[@d.wendalattig5116]

Your work and your English are outstanding!!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@xsasx]

Just found this. Amazing work! You have a lovely voice and your English is well spoken. Maybe explore talking about what you did and why you did it at the end of the video? That way you can preserve the flow you have going.

[@raquelmascara6382]

I like both visual & speaking. Your English is beautifully spoken. Love your work.
