[@evelynrauseo467]

I loved this project two years ago and love it even more now! TFS. 🥰🙏

[@evelynrauseo467]

I will never look at magazine images in the same way. Thanks for this new vision! 🥰🙏

[@kimberlybyrd1683]

[@phylliswilliamstn]

I'm from Tennessee in the U.S., and I love John Muir. I'm so proud he's a Scot, too. My ancestors came to America from Scotland long ago. You and Nina Ribena provide many good hours of journaling tutorials for me, and I appreciate them all.

[@KylieCooStudio]

Many thanks for your kind comment Phyllis :)

[@smchalk3535]

I cannot give enough thumbs up for this wonderful piece of art, both visually and aurally

[@KylieCooStudio]

That's so kind Suzanne - thank you so much

[@LiterarySnob]

This project reminded me of a small book with leaf pages I made with the words of John Carlos William's poem Spring and all.

[@KylieCooStudio]

That is such a powerful poem Robynn - it can be interesting to include the words of others into our art. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@martinmixedmedia2899]

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks so much Ellie - so pleased it's given you an idea :)

[@toniakoblens7486]

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thank you so much Tonia - hugs to the Netherlands from Scotland xo

[@jackiecopeland1835]

That’s such a lovely idea and a great demo of how to do it. The poem is so appropriate for our times.

[@KylieCooStudio]

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Kylie, that’s really really awesome 👏 I really love 💕 how you’ve created this stunning little book 📖. It’s so very very sweet. And I really really love 💕 John Muir’s words and how you’ve used them. It gives us a whole different take on how to use magazine pages. It’s a whole new slant on the use of the page’s. I’ve watched Nina’s video, and that’s different again. We’ve got such a variety of ideas 💡 from both of you. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks so much Mags - I'm so pleased that you enjoyed it :)

[@woollyfingers]

How lovely! John Muir a great hero of mine too, and last year visited his home in California, which was open to the public. Hope to visit his birthplace too one day.

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thank you Jane. How wonderful that you visited his home in California. When you get up here feel free to give me a shout :)

Thanks so much Debbie

[@dolorescardenas3853]

Love your little nature book and how you use the poem! Will have to try it with some of my favorite quotes! Thank you for sharing your ideas💐

[@KylieCooStudio]

I so love this little book ❤ "though she be little, she be fierce " ❤

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thank you so much Diane - and a great quote from you :)

[@donnatrethewey4479]

Wonderful. Thank you. I hoard similar magazine pictures but never know how to use them.

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks so much Donna. I hope this gives you an idea of how you might use them - I kept my book small but of course it could be made to any size. Thanks for watching and commenting :)

[@marihop5117]

[@denisehug1911]

Really love3 this idea and it's execution., Thank you

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks so much Denise :)

[@lindaraffaele4116]

Love this little book! The simple beauty of the pages with the sepia edging and thoughtful words of John Muir make it so special. Great demo, thank you!

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thank you so much Linda :)

[@ExkupidsMom]

I am amazed by the way such disparate images became a cohesive whole. Even though I watched you do it, I still can't quite grasp how it worked out so well. I am definitely going to try this.

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thank you so much. It was looking at the images that sparked in my mind the words of John Muir and I felt that the words then brought it all together. Glad you are going to try it :)

[@ExkupidsMom]

@@KylieCooStudio I'm in the US, and I didn't know Muir was a Scot. That's very cool. I have a special place in my heart for Scots for many reasons, but most of all for the creative way they mock the current occupant of the White House.

[@LauraMe...]

Kylie this is such a sweet little book. I really appreciate this idea. I have a new to the family great niece who is just starting to learn to read. It would be fun to make something like this for her and mail it. ❤❤❤

[@cammygibson4125]

Loved this little book! i definitely want to give this a try!

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks Cammy - I hope you do give it a go :)

[@pamelallewellyn6966]

Such a beautiful idea, Kylie. I'm encouraged to find a poem and magazine images to do a similar project. I like the use of backgrounds becoming forgrounds then becoming backgrounds again to the words to form a rhythmical movement of its own. Thank you for sharing this idea.

[@ednamorgan7827]

This is so beautiful, Kylie. It's turned out so well. I like it very much. Many thanks as ever.

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks so much for your kind comment Edna :)

[@AtSusiesCottage]

A beautiful little project Kylie, it works well with the nature theme and of course the poem was a perfect choice too xxx💕

[@KylieCooStudio]

Many thanks Susie

[@JeanneBaney]

I am also a great admirer of John Muir and I lived near Muir Woods National Park growing up. Your book is just stunning and the creativity of using that poem, and the placing of the words is brilliant! Bravo!

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thank you so much Jeanne. That must have been such a wonderful place to grow up in. Best wishes to you :)

[@paulannesorensen2395]

Lovely. It just needs covers!❤️❤️

[@evelynrauseo467]

What a wonderful tribute to Joh Muir. I love the concept and the orchestration! This is brilliant in everyway. TFS. I did. God bless and stay safe.

[@KylieCooStudio]

Many thanks Evelyn - I always appreciate you watching and commenting

[@robinalcorn5140]

It's fascinating to see the way you took easily accessible images and turned them into something unique and inspiring. And no paint!

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks so much Robin - and no paint ... this time :)

[@lorrainewilson2067]

Love this. Such an easy way to make something so eye catching! ❤

[@degangemimi2215]

Lifelong Muir fan! This is a wonderful little piece. Thank you

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thank you so much :)

[@loripadilla669]

Love this little book Kylie. The poem is wonderful and so powerful with the images. tfs

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thank you so much Lori :)

[@alemapretsof]

What a beautiful statement is made through the images and the quote. (We) Scots have contributed a great deal to America, and in fact the world. My DNA is quite a blend of mostly British cultures, but has Native American, African, and as far away as Micronesia!!! I appreciate you sharing that bit of history concerning Muir in your narrative. Lovely results.

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thank you so much Pam and I so agree about the influence of the Scots across the world. And what a lovely blend of heritage and culture that you have in your DNA. Many thanks for watching and commenting :)

[@TheNanaThatKnits]

Forgive me, at first I thought, meh, not for me, but it worked out so beautifully with the poem and the ‘aging’ with the sepia ink. Absolutely beautiful, thank you. I will definitely be having a go at this. We’ll see if it’s worth sharing when I finish it!

[@KylieCooStudio]

No need for forgiveness Nicola as I always take the view that not every project will be for everyone. Thank you so much for sticking with it though as some would have switched off right away. I'm glad that at the end of the day you like it and enough to give it a go :) xo

[@LynneWilliams101]

Stunning. I used to walk through John Muir Woods in San Francisco area - good for the soul.

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks so much Lynne - I would love to visit there .... maybe someday :)

[@elizabethnaisbitt1795]

Oh my word, Kylie this is brilliant, I love the simplicity but I also love how you've created something very special, the poem just brings it all together beautifully. Tfs xo

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thank you so much Elizabeth

[@debbiesjournals4550]

How beautiful! You have such a creative mind. You would never know those are magazine bits. Love the way you finished it all.

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks so much Debbie :)

[@anniehamilton2524]

Only small, but has a big impact. Very beautiful, thankyou

[@KylieCooStudio]

Many thanks for watching and commenting Annie :)

Oh Kylie - I am so inspired by this! It draws me in so many ways. Your artistry and your spirit cheer me and and invite me to enter into a place where I can be hopeful and creative. Right now I am working on making greeting cards. This will be my next project - and I look forward to it with great anticipation. Blessings to you - and thank you so much for sharing your talents and inspiration with us. Also - John Muir is a hero to me.

[@KylieCooStudio]

Hi Mary - thank you so much for your kind words and I'm so pleased that in some small way I've helped cheer you. Enjoy creating your greetings cards and enjoy making this project when the time comes

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thank you so much Karene - so pleased that you want to try it :)

[@louiselaboon2166]

Just beautiful! You taught me to look closely at the background, not just the focal point, when looking for images to use.

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thank you so much Louise - I often find so many things of interest in the background :)

[@dastardlyboo998]

Lovely. Simple and beautiful. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thank you so much :)

[@bbrown8353]

I love this - simply beautiful. I'm going to try one of these with my 5 year old grandson - I'm thinking first we pick the prose, then we'll hunt for images to go with it. I think I will cut a page sized square out of the center of a paper so he can use it to see the small images he likes. I love finding ways to inspire children to create and this one has inspired me!!! Thank you

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks so much for watching and letting me know how you will try this. Creating a viewfinder is a good idea because that way you can really focus in on the background image. Starting with the words is also a good approach. For me with this one it was the images that then reminded me of the words but it would be good to do it the other way round as well. I hope you both enjoy your project. Best wishes :)

[@DeniseReedis]

I am so inspired! Thank you for sharing this.

[@maggiesanderson9630]

Loves the simplicity of this, Kylie and am definitely going to have a go. Would be a simple idea to share with our Carers too. Thanks, I love to see how your videos evolve to something beautiful.

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks so much Maggie - I hope things are well with you. Best wishes :)

[@cindycreateforlife]

I just love your little book, I have never really been a fan of concertina books but, I love the way you used the poem, it gave it a reason for being! I also love John Muir and his insights and I really enjoyed your project, it leaves me inspired! I love magazine images and I am so happy that it is this weeks prompt!💕🇨🇦

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks so much Cindy - for me the concertina style for this project was a way of letting the images and words unfold and almost work round in a 'circle' back to the beginning. Glad you like the prompt for this week.
