I love your apartment, it's like a place of enchantment and wonder - even on a rainy day ❤

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you :)

[@WakeUpAndCraft]

Ooh! I can't wait to see what you have in store for the peacock! He's too pretty not to keep! Sending you some sunshine! 🌞

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you,he will be reused for another project! Thank you! A happy spring week to you ! :)

[@2LLs53]

Looking so forward to seeing the castle.......and the fabric for your curtains is just gorgeous!!!!

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you :)

[@lyndioli]

Oh I can't wait to see your final reveal of your castle , peacock and flowers! 🏰🦚🥀 I know they'll be beautiful!✨💞✨

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you! As I mentioned in the video the peacock will not be part of it , but It will be reused someday!

[@zetasattic]

The peacock will be the star of his own show someday, I am sure. I hate commissions, you can never create something that lives in the mind of someone else. I’m super loving Clochette sitting upon her throne in your castle. Your apartment/kingdom is so magical and beautiful. Hugs to you and Clochette 😊

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Commissions can be very tricky I agree! Oh yes she is a real princess on her throne, thank you! have a beautiful beginning of May !

[@davidjohnston9356]

I can understand why you are a bit frustrated. They should have trusted your creative artist's instinct and left the peacock alone. I am sure it will look gorgeous in the end.❤ Noticed your lovely tea pot. I found a beautiful old German brand on Etsy for myself, and it came yesterday. It will make the tea time ritual ever so more special. 🌷Love how clochette overseas everything from her viewpoint at the window. She is a beautiful friend. I wish you sunshine birds and flowers in abundance in the coming weeks. 🌷🍃🪻⚘️🌱💐🌿

[@Merveillesenpapier]

I found this coffee pot last year but I damaged the beak as I always do , I understand your joy we never have enough teapots ! yes Clochette is my best friend. well yes they have their own vision so sometimes there are some tensions and misunderstandings for these commissions but I think it will be nice at the end, oh thank you I was gone for Easter monday when I came back today the studio tree was all blooming, it was a nice surprise ! I wish you too a happy beginning of spring!

[@ArtwithOlga]

Your vlog helped me move to a magical place. Thank you for that!🥰 I absolutely adore your sculptures! Such nice pieces❤

[@Merveillesenpapier]

You're welcome Olga! Thank you :)

[@melindaferreira9879]

I hope we can see the peacock finished.. your work is so fantastical. Truly a delight .

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Melinda, yes I'm sure i will reuse it for some of Madame d'Aulnoy's fairy tales , thank you very much :))

[@TheZeyre]

Just delightful! Will be great to see the peacock scone alive! And who does not want to enjoy another castle?! Lovely!❤❤❤

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you! The peacock as I mentioned will wait in a corner of the studio for now as he is not part of this creation, thank you :)

[@christinaheesakacowden-wut3809]

I agree with the comments already written. The peacock wanted to stay with you 😊. If you finished it, it could also make a beautiful stand for displaying jewelry. 😃. I thought your clothes matched the color of your shelves today. So beautiful. You ispire me all the time. Thank you for making these videos. Here in Germany the medieval festival season is beginning slowly. I have been part of medieval reenactment for 17 years now. It is very rewarding. Love the fabric for your new curtains. Can't wait for the next video upload. Huggs from Fairy Tale Cottage, Schurwald Forest, Germany. 🌲 🌲 🌲 💖

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Christina ! yes he probably wanted to join another creation and will definitely be reused . It must be a lot of fun to be part of these medieval festivals!! I'm glad if my videos inspire you ! Thank you for stopping by and have a happy beginning of Spring in your fairy tale cottage !

[@AnnaBelangerAnnabelle]

Oooh my, Laetitia! The cat on the chair to look out the window! You love Choclette just as much as I love my two cats. I just did the same with my little Bat this morning , lol. Love visiting your enchanted castle. Thank you for another beautiful visit to your magical world.♥

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Clochette adores her chair, and I didn't want to buy a tree cat , because I really don't like the way it looks , and we improvized this flexible chair cat tree , and she loves it , Thank you Anna ! you're welcome !

[@Robine-n1v]

chère Laetitia ❤ chaque fois que je regarde tes vidéos, je me sens mieux. Je vois le monde avec des yeux différents à travers toi. Merci de partager votre créativité avec nous. J'aime tellement votre art et je suis sûr que même de petits incidents donneront lieu à une œuvre d'art magique. Vous êtes extrêmement talentueux et je suis très, très, très reconnaissant de vous avoir trouvé. Vous enrichissez complètement mon monde et ma façon de penser 🦋

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Merci Robine! merci oui de toute façon lorsqu'on crée une pièce pour une commande il y a toujours des choses à changer et des compromis à faire, ça fait partie du jeu, on y échappe pas , c'est ce qui fait que je n'en fais que pour ces expositions. ; ) Merci pour ce chaleureux message je suis bien contente si mes vidéos vous inspirent et vous font du bien, merci !! Une belle semaine printanière à vous!

[@vanhoveregine6665]

Bonsoir Laetitia, que de beaux projets 😊, le château et le jardin seront magnifiques. Le paon fera la roue dans un autre beau jardin. Les tentures sont somptueuses. Je vous remercie pour ce merveilleux moment de bonheur et vous souhaite de joyeuses fêtes Pâsquales. À bientôt 🌹

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Merci Régine, oui le paon se retrouvera dans des jardins de Madame d'Aulnoy très vraisemblablement!. Merci ! j'espère que les Cloches de Pâques sont bien passées dans votre coin de la Belgique. Merci de votre message et un beau début de printemps à vous ! :)

[@JaneMiller-w5e]

Your videos are always so inspiring and filled with new projects and topics to explore. Our rainy early Spring has gone by and we are close to 30 C today. Looks like we'll have Summer before long, wishing you Peace in your sweet k8ngdom.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Jane! Wow you have transionned fast into early summer! I don't envy you I think ours will come soon enough ;) Thank you Happy Easter Weekend to you !:)

[@susanamann1806]

Been that way here too.I see his majesty is on his chair. Beautiful work.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you! Yes she is :)

[@francineh.7825]

The peacock wanted to stay with you 🦚 I look forward to seeing you work on the medieval castle! I hope spring will arrive soon as I'm tired of the snow!!

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Yes I think the peacock wanted to jump into one of Madame d'Aulnoy's fairy tales , yes snow in april must be a bit hard to handle !

[@tinchapeltextiles]

Thank you for this joyful video Letitia. I apologise for my absence, sadly another bereavement , but your video has lifted my spirits and reminds me how important creativity is in our lives. I am sad they wont accept the peacock, but what a beautiful workshop that could be, maybe a pair for our mantelpieces ? I would certainly like that. I find commissions very difficult, I dont like the constraints, I admire you greatly for dealing with them so gracefully. Wishing you a joyful week and thank you xxx

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Deborah! Sorry you had to go through other tought times !The peacock will stay in the studio and be used for fairy tales projects, yes commissions are hard I had deleted something I said about doing commissions in the video, because it's just tricky , and I only do commissions for them and it's not every year,otherwise it's a big no,I had wasted too much time , supplies and peace doing commissions in the past ;) A comforting spring week to you ! :)

[@laureencriss8220]

Another beautiful video. Merci!

[@Merveillesenpapier]

You're welcome ! :)

[@joycolli2023]

How beautiful everything is❤❤I’m sorry about the peacock but you will make it work elsewhere!! This is absolutely BEAUTIFUL AND MAGICAL!! How talented you are my friend❤️❤️🙋‍♀️

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Joyce ! yes it sure will!, thank you for your kind words :)

[@alisaaustin8431]

Beautiful fabric for the curtains. Can't wait to see the dollhouse finished. 😊

[@Merveillesenpapier]

It's not a dollhouse as I explained in the video it's a big book with a garden and a medieval castle on it for an exhibition.

[@anieth]

Have you read that courtly love was inspired by Eleanor of Aquitaine? It's also fun to learn how much of the French inspired works as far away as Wales with the tales of Arthur. Fun project!

[@Merveillesenpapier]

I'm not extremely familiar with medieval history and for a long time I really didn't like anything medieval at all. So Eléonore d'Aquitaine is not a character I'm super familiar with, but I' ve studied some of the Arthurian texts at school by Chrétien de Troyes, and he is one of the reference for the exhibition too.and i for sure want to read more about l'Amour Courtois and the Troubadours. Thank you!

[@roksannastephens4375]

Laetitia, how lovely your video is. Your home, your outside area, and your medieval project are all so inspiring! My favorite time period in history is the medieval era. I love castles, gardens, cloisters, clothing, and illuminated manuscripts. So I can't wait to see the perception and rendition of your castle and garden project. I see in the background on your desk that red illuminated book of some sort? You sewing your new curtains, the draping looks so delightful draped over the chair with the lighting and shadowing stunning. I can invision sitting with you by the window over hot tea. I can feel the wind blow through the window, smelling the air, the hot tea, and the dessert. And look how Choclette is so loving the outside sitting on the chair. I am looking forward to your next video. Tha 11:44 nk you again.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Roksanna! glad you like the medieval era, it's for sure fascinating centuries! This book was a December find at the old book shop, it's about historical characters and heros from Paris throughout history. yes Clochette is so happy when the studio windows are open and the sun comes in, she prefers staying there and looking at the birds than on the balcony which is too noisy . Thank you :))

[@roksannastephens4375]

Oooh nice book find. So glad Choclette is happy!!

[@GemaEnriquez]

I love watching all your videos they are so beautiful ! I wish I could visit your country , I would probably not want to come back because it is so beautiful ! In the mean time , I will watch your videos and enjoy them and imagine that I am there ! 😂

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you !I hope you have the chance to come someday ! :)

[@rozanidesignsmasquerade7050]

Wow, such interesting rainfall and beautiful view ❣️ Clochette is really enjoying the action outside of the window. So cute. 💕 Oh how wonderful to see this particular project. I’m glad that you will be able to still use the awesome peacock. Even on a commission, this is such a labor of love along with a new challenge. I look forward to seeing your progress. 😍👍

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Rozani !Oh yesClochette knows everything the birds are doing down there! yes I know i'm going to reuse , I'm reusing for this commission quite many things I created 2 or 3 years ago I didn't use including the character, so hopefully everything has a purpose and find its place at some point! There are always some challenges which come with these projects, it's part of it , we will how it turns out! Thank you ! :)

[@rozanidesignsmasquerade7050]

You’re most welcome. 🙂

[@yolandagarza7897]

You are such a gifted artist, I love spending time with you, when you upload an new video I know that I'm going on a journey via KZbin and enjoying every step of the way ❤, thank you beautiful princess for making my heart happy ❤,greetings from Texas USA 🇺🇸 ❤ 😊

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Yolanda, I'm glad you are happy to spend this time with me , hope you had a lovely Easter, a beautiful week to you !

[@victoriaculbertson8266]

[@catherineleslie-faye4302]

Oh I would love to have that peacock! I hope your easter weekend was full of joy. I'm looking forward to seeing what your castle looks like when it is finished.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Catherine ! I'm just back from my short Easter weekend, hope you had a happy one too, thank you, we will see how the full piece turns out!

[@elegantwitchery2054]

Another lovely video, thank you!

[@Merveillesenpapier]

You're welcome! Thank you ! :)

[@catklu]

👏☺

[@LaFarmhouse]

j’adore🌿🌷🩷🎀

[@silviajordan5499]

maybe you can use the peacock and do something related on Arabian Nights

[@Merveillesenpapier]

He will for sure jump into another fairy tale! I'm not super familiar with the entire Arabian nights but thank you for the suggestion !

[@jem3e]

je suis trop triste - je viens de découvrir votre page - j'ignorais qu'il existait des workshops de dollhouse... je suis trop triste, je m'aurais inscrite.. mais je suis 4 jours en retard.. Votre travail m'inspire énormément. J'aurais espéré le faire avec vous :'(

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Il réouvrira l'année prochaine! Désolée si vous l'avez manqué cette année.

[@sandfly60]

Commission work is the very devil. I would be frustrated too.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

It can be tricky at times thats' why I ve stopped doing it for "normal clients, I keep this one because the exhibitions travel in wonderful castles year after year , there are the only public culture institution who has still the finances and the will to do that , so it's worth it at the end.

[@mariondapsance7803]

Le Roman de la rose is such a bore, one must confess it.
