It is even more beautiful in real life Jibid darling. But your voice is like balm for a stressed heart. Love you.

[@eightcentstampheatherwinner8]

[@donnacarraway9182]

You are really the most sweet most generous thoughtful person ever! Teaching us and encouraging us to do and try YOUR IDEAS!! (which are beautiful and amazing as you are). Please move to the states and be my neighbor!! I wouldn’t bother you (much!)❤️

[@jibidneary2212]

Donna Carraway Lol! I don't know, I might be scared now haha, but I do appreciate your sweet comments, thankyou hunny x

[@catherinebrown5476]

Ice blue waters of the archipelago glimpsed through the window of the small red stuga. Fishing nets glistening on the rocky outcrops. Fish drying in anticipation of the long dark winter....the eagerly awaited Spring when the sun begins its journey to midsummer......the light startlingly bright on the snow when the land returns to crystal. This truly remarkable book encapsulates the simplcity and utter beauty of the unique Scandinavian light and life. Wow, it transported me back there like no words could. Tack so mycket, Jibid.

[@jibidneary2212]

Catherine Brown Varsågod Catherine! Thankyou too x

[@grannygrimson]

(sigh) Wow Jibid! I struggle to find any elements of your journals that do not completely enchant me. The deliberateness of all those details in your collages and tags and inked papers mesmerize me beyond belief. I would love to curl up and take residence inside one of these beautious works. Your journals are visual poetry to my soul. 🦉

[@jibidneary2212]

Angela Gunson aww, thankyou so very much angie x

[@debraeaves6544]

Very pretty. I am a big beach bum. I love everything that has to do with the beach. My favorites are of course shell, octopus, pelicans, and jellyfish. You covered all of them. When my children were small, I had a large real shrimper boat fishing net hung on my wall. When the kids and I went scavenging on the beach, we always brought our things home, cleaned the find up and made a big production of displaying the finds on the wall with the fishnet. It was so gorgeous to me. One day I had to move for my job, and I had to remove those contents. I cried for days over that, and stupidly I didn't even take a picture of it. I was so torn up over having to remove it I didn't even think of the picture. I think I still mourn over the loss of that net on my wall. Those days living near the beach with my family are the best memories of my life. So seeing lovely books like this one touches my heart very deeply. Thanks for bringing back the memory

[@jibidneary2212]

debra eaves aww I can picture your fishing net, it sounds wonderful, I love bringing nature into the home. thankyou so much for your comment Debra x

[@lisamcilvain4992]

Jibed, I,am beyond inspired by this journal. So many techniques and ideas for one book! I just want to live in your head for a day and see how your mind works! ewe that sounds very creepy, sorry. I made books as well and appreciate how much you share, hearing your process as you flip thru is so great. I’d love a tip on your dying process. The blues and greens, especially the linen cover make my heart race😍 it must take you weeks to complete a book like this. Sorry to ramble, just such a fan of your talent. Lisa

Sue Chesley that's so sweet of you sue thankyou!

[@cece_h]

Your journals are works of art and they are filled with so much tactile yumminess. (There are two words probably never used together). I find it hard to find the words to describe how your journals make me feel. Your thoughtfulness in your design seems to heal the soul. I am always so inspired by your work. It seen to flow so naturally and there is nothing artificial about it. Beautiful work Jibid! I always look forward to seeing what you have created.

[@jibidneary2212]

[@jibidneary2212]

June's Journals thanks so much June :)

[@danafaber922]

And yet another stunning work of art! Every little detail and deliberate thought and so much love you put into your journals are amazing. Your creations are just one of kind! The journal and in its entirety is just gorgeous. I think my favorite pages are the ones where you stitched in mountains with tracing paper and, I believe it’s in the center of one of the signatures, the image of the octopus with the sewn tracing paper with regular paper to make it look like it’s in the water or coming out of the water! (I really hope that makes sense, LOL) Love all the little stitched tags. I hope to one day be able to create something with as much beauty. Thank you for the continuous inspiration you give me and Always for your time with making the Videos!! Your Friend, ~~Dana~~

[@jibidneary2212]

Dana Faber aww Dana that is so sweet, thankyou! I think that was my favourite pieces too, it's nice when things come together like they are supposed to. Happy crafting days to you sweetie x

[@jibidneary2212]

Simple Mountain Life thankyou so much Lovely x

[@LedgerAndLace]

WOW!!! GORGEOUS as always; the printing, the dying, the hand-made stamping, the sewing . . . AMAZING! As for the Shakespeare quote, given that sloppy signature, maybe scholars couldn't read his writing. "On dreams, of dreams. I've heard it both ways." ;-)

[@jibidneary2212]

Hali Chambers, Labyrinth Gal haha hali, I am inclined to agree ;)

[@thatdayintimebysue3551]

[@jibidneary2212]

Sharon Carroll that's very sweet of you, thankyou hun x

[@FinallyCrafting]

This is one of the most amazing journals I've seen Jibid! I live in Norway and can certainly relate to the nature you've created in your artwork in this book- the details of the white splatter looked so true that I could almost taste the salt from the sea :) I live on top of a mountain (a small one) and have large windows with view over the sea 🌊- I love watching how the color of the sea change so often. I adore your work my friend- hopefully one day I'll be able to order one from you too :) Big hugs- Wenche

Jibid... I could gaze at your art all day!! Your ideas always are exciting and look like fun techniques to try. The colors here are amazing like that aqua page so green blue gorgeous! And all your detail right down to the Sea blue thread used for stitching. I really must try using my fountain pen inks to color wash some pages...the transparency is intriguing.. like the octopus half hidden under the water. Your style is so organic which makes every page an original piece of art! Keep us Inspired... never stop teaching and thanks so much for sharing!

Hello Jibid. I must say, I am new to this art form. When I take the time to learn something, I want to learn from the best. Otherwise to me, it's just a waste of time. I am so thankful I found your channel because I feel like I truly have found the very best. Thank you for teaching

[@KimzCraftz]

Absolutely beautiful journal, Jibid, you are amazingly creative, every page is interesting. The octopus under the sea was especially so. Can't wait to see the postage stamp tags in a future book - I've subscribed so I don't miss it. I'd say I was speechless but actually I found a lot to write, lol! Thanks so much for sharing with us.

[@mexico53ify]

You would make a good Shakespeare scholar! you notice!!! This work is stunning!!!

[@mellik2522]

Lightning? ☺☺ I mean: lighting ☺☺

[@LouiseAdie-zm2jf]

Wow, this is gorgeous!!! I'm inspired by the cover, I'd like to emulate how you created waves and ocean foam with cheesecloth. Your ocean colors are so gorgeous. I'd started a woodland journal but switched to seafaring, how odd! I'm also Norwegian and these are my two comfort zones in the out-of-doors. I used to lecture on board eco tourism ships in the polar regions (mostly Antarctica), our great grandfather was a Norwegian whaling manager there (both poles), as well as a kayak guide, so my affinity for water, water history and the woodlands is in the DNA. Blue and green are my favorite colors. Thank you for the inspiration and your contact!!

[@charisgratias1863]

Hi Jibid. Again, words cannot describe the quality of your work. And so many helpful tips. Love the see-through "ocean bit" in 24:13. If you put an image of a predator like a shark chasing another fish on the opposite opaque pages it could tell a mini story. Or maybe the shark being chased by a dolphin. Haha. I did a little research for you for 35:45. It says on the Internet: (Prospero says "made on," not "made of," despite Humphrey Bogart's famous last line in the 1941 film The Maltese Falcon:"The stuff that dreams are made of." (Bogart suggested the line to director John Huston, but neither seems to have brushed up his Shakespeare.) When I need inspiration, You are the first artist I watch. I have a long way to go, but seeing your detailed paperwork makes me think I can be just as creative. Bless.

[@jibidneary2212]

Reese DChatch haha Reese, including sharks sounds stressful lol! Thankyou so much for the helpful research, I appreciate that, and for your kind comments as always, thankyou sweetheart xx

[@dianejarvis270]

Hi Jibid, some versions of the Shakespeare manuscripts are corrupted and, sometimes, if the printer was not sure what the original said, he would print what he thought it said, or what he thought it should say. The manuscripts were also revised and edited throughout the years, sometimes by Shakespeare himself, more usually by whatever company was putting on the play. Nonetheless, the accepted version is 'dreams are made ON'. Hope this helps. Lovely journal!

[@margaretvogel9172]

Hi Jibid, your work is so beautiful, can I place an order?

[@PinkOddBird]

I can only imagine what it's like to hold this! So amazing Jibid! My favorite parts were the bits your tore and put gesso over and the ominous octopus! Sooo clever! Also, keen observation with the of/on bit. Very curious as to why that may be! Anyhow, thanks for deciding to make this video and sharing! Super awesome as always!! 😊😊💙
