[@vytallicaq.6881]

This puts me in the mood to take a trip to our main Art Museum here in St. Louis. It's not quite on the level of The Louvre, but it's still among the best. This city was founded by the French. Lot's of Italian and German influence too. (7:45) >>> kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnWVaauGeqt4h6c

[@christopherweltmer4227]

The lord of the rings came out and I was hooked!!!

[@phantomwaltz]

Please do more of these simple videos!!!!!!!!! I really love them! 💕

[@pgallbladder]

Your videos are masterpieces 💙✨

[@racocasetoodot8414]

Tnx 4 the video my exam gone great now chilling 😪😪😪

[@gracecramer3498]

It's like coming in from a cold day and drinking hot chocolate in front of the fire...but like, for your ears. Another fantastic piece of visual and auditory art. Thank you!

[@IHaveAFatherButHesAbroad]

Thank you for making me picture.... Me pouring hot chocolate on my ears :D

[@Startupsandsushi]

Whoa nice description!

[@ASMRJonie]

✨Always feel so excited when you post because It's a full ASMR experience I love it!!

[@deadgirlwalking3057]

Jonie te amo

[@graveescapes]

I'm so with you Jonie!

[@darrowoflykos4909]

Love you as well Jonie!

[@toballopez]

opino lo mismoo!

[@imalwayswatch1ng]

Why are you everywhere

[@frankieamsden7918]

When you began to flip through the pages of the first book I could actually SMELL it! I love the smell of books.

[@pgallbladder]

Same, especially the glossy ones.

[@BluewhisperForest]

Such a beautiful and varied collection. Those fairies recipes look amazing 😍

[@MoonlightCottageASMR]

Glad you like them ! I wish there was an english version for you 😪

[@AgedBacon]

Oh, since you've commented here, let me seize this occasion to thank you. It was because you commented on her videos that youtube recommended me her channel and that I discovered her. For that, you have my greatest gratitude.

[@darcaspena6891]

Love your arms videos too. Amazed to see you comment here!

[@mrsmacca126]

Diane, you are- hands down- THE BEST asmrtist. No one even compares. All of your " triggers" seem to blend effortlessly into your video content. No goofy staring into the camera whilst tapping your fingernails- I find that patronizing and somewhat infantilizing, when other asmrtists do that. Your seem so honest and genuine. Thank.you for your wonderful videos.

[@jessicashields3090]

What I like about your work is the ASMR triggers typically have a purpose. I do not like when people just shove their hands/face at the mic and makes sounds just to do it. Your work seems more natural which is why it’s better. It’s not forced.

[@paola_2080]

Turning pages was my very first trigger when I was a child and whispered videos are my favorite. Plus these gorgeous books and Tolkien/fairies related content? Definitely this will be one of my top ten videos from you! 🥰

[@FedeASMR]

The atmosphere is stunning and special, I really appreciate how much time you always spend on this

[@newchapterasmr]

I always save your videos for the perfect moment to watch, like candy or a christmas present. Because I know it’s so good and doesn’t last long. Can’t wait for this one! Thank you for the art you make.

[@Rowan.Evander]

A stunning video, as always. Seeing the Tolkien art, particularly Ted Nasmith's illustrated Silmarillion, immediately tugged at my heartstrings. It's one of my great loves and I'll never tire of getting beautiful glimpses into Middle Earth.

[@soloistdeve]

This gave me peace and comfort in a very dark place. As an artist and a worker bee during the day, sleep is scarce, uncertainty keeps me awake even in my dreams. Somehow your voice and books made me sleep. Thank you.

[@claireplauche7724]

Page turning was my first trigger..i never knew what that feeling was before ASMR was a thing..It was borne tho by feelings of wonder and supreme, Divine comfort as my Grandparents and parents read to me from the best books. I just love this..thank you from the depths of my first memories and the bottom of my heart.😘💐🤲

[@cindycoppens3600]

Love your Asmr. I am so inspired by you❤❤❤

[@Special_ASMR]

*What a beautiful and mesmerizing book!* Какая красивая и завораживающая книга!

[@cis4coffee]

What a lovely way to spend an evening😊 Diane, I think you could read a phone book out loud and make it interesting, you have such a beautiful manner of presenting and narrating. And of course the art that you present is wonderful as well. Thank you again for your time and detail in these videos, stay well.

[@crookedcrowstudio3135]

As an artist and a fantasy enthusiast- these are my favorites of your ASMR videos. Please make more just like this one. Your descriptions, voice and taste in the visual make for a perfect experience. Thank you!

[@valarnone5747]

Beautiful art work, page turning, whispers..What a relaxing, magical way to end our Thanksgiving holiday. ❤

[@hando-]

Both your accent and demeanor are absolutely enchanting. I could listen to you talk about Art and Tapestry for hours.

[@wendyrosedavis1037]

Greetings: Simply beautiful ! The arts , the colours just blew me away . Other comments were exactly how I felt..it was like I smelled the pages as they were turned ! Triggers everywhere ! Books are such a part of my life . I was taught by my mother . In turn , my children and their children. Books are vital to us . The sounds of binders , covers , tracing the pictures ! Thank you for introducing me to some of your favourite books & authors ! Magnificent !!

[@sitinoerhaleezahhamid5288]

I love the way you touch things.

[@larkspur1517]

this couldnt have come at a better time, i've had a really bad headache all day and ASMR helps it feel better ☺️

[@kathrynrobinson9989]

I would love to see more of your tapestry and book videos. They are so relaxing and when you trace or rub the pages and fabric it's tingle city. I have fallen asleep to your videos 3 times this week and it has been such a blessing.

[@maanggauthier8116]

Everything about your videos works. You leave nothing to be desired. I've been watching asmr videos for a year and I didn't know it could get this good until I stumbled on your channel last month. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful world and gifts with us.

[@phantomwaltz]

This is so enchanting✨ Thank you for introducing these treasures.. I especially liked your grandmother's last gift to you about the fairies' cooking. I discovered Kinuko Craft about 10 years ago too -- she illustrated children's fairy tales, most recently Beauty & the Beast, but I didn't know she had published a compilation book like the one you introduced! I'd love to find that one. I look forward to your fortune teller video!

[@lg8498]

Id love to see a video of you talking(tracing with the wooden pointer) about the John Peacock book. 👏🏼👏🏼

[@williamstoutenburgh2116]

Oh My! That Kinuko Craft book is so wonderful. Such beautiful pictures! The page turning and page touching was very tingly. I also enjoyed the John Howe book as well. I very much enjoyed the Peter Jackson Tolkien movies.And the Art from his book was so much like the from movie. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

[@notyuklya]

It's 1:33 am and I'm having insomnia. Perfect time to listen your new masterpiece. Thank you so much! 🤍

[@luludi3]

I'm Romani (gypsy) and Love the sounds and beautiful art on the Tarot cards the most. I liked seeing all the other books as well, I have all the same interests in 📚 This is my new favorite video, thank you! Happy Holidays!❄🦌☃️

[@user-zl7rw9lf5h]

It’s like a safe space for me, so relaxing and inspiring 🤍

[@nyusobya]

It is one my favorite from your videos 😍 I love the rustle of books, touch books and drawings are very beautiful. Thank you very much.

[@canadianjaneoriginal]

this gave me tingles and it’s been almost a year since I had them. The paper sounds are so good. The cards particularly.The art is beautiful. I want all these books. Stunning. We have such similar tastes. TLOTR artwork is inspiring always. Thank you for this wonderful video as always👌❤️

[@heathermoss1593]

I will do some studying on how one gets the tingles. But can you add some insight?

[@canadianjaneoriginal]

Heather Moss it’s a reaction you get from ASMR. Everyone is different but it’s like a sensation that comes over you in waves like goosebumps or chills and is very brief. You can feel it even on your scalp. It is a reason people seek out ASMR even, but in my case I love ASMR for giving me a chance to sleep and relax. Tingles are a bonus.

[@Deliveredfromevil]

Any video you do is fabulous. I love when you trace over the pages. I just can't stop watching. I've watched every video more than a few times! My favs I've watched 15-20 times. You are simply magical.

[@amandabacon128]

I love art books. Springbok ASMR has an amazing mass effect art video that i revist often and this one matches its joy

[@skm4jc]

Oh I miss Nichole so much!!! I don’t remember that video - what’s it titled?

[@himfalathiel4012]

I love books, I love art - and of course I love ASMR 😍 this video is simply fabulous ❤️

[@mrsrazzer]

Love this one! The BEST page turning and book sounds. And whispering too. Perfect!

[@KOwens-ul6sy]

Like so many others this year, I have benefited greatly by your incredible videos, mesmerizing voice and comforting, grounding demeanor. Thank you so much, Diana. You are such a gift to us all. ♥️

[@dindabuilding3745]

Finally I'm early thank you so much for your videos they help me so much you are such a beautiful soul thank you so much i love your videos!!!!!

[@shushuuu2260]

Yess ik her videos are so peaceful I feel nice while listening to her her voice is so shooting her accent as well hhh

[@incepticgroot2769]

I always get so happy when I meet people who are as interested in Tolkiens world as me. Really love the vid.

[@Lucares]

I love to listen to your voice. It's so calm and soothing. 😊 Thank you very much for another wonderful video. It really calms me down and helps me to sleep. 💕

[@CaribouOrange]

It would be so wonderful to have a new whispered video, the only ones I can fall asleep to

[@4kcyb3r]

koko feels like grandma is reading to him when he was younger. koko is happy

[@sylviafreyre8697]

Since I discovered you, I listen to you every day. You are part of my life. Every new video that you post, I say: well, now this on is now my favorite! Ha ha! I just really love your work! This whispered video is absolutely delicious!!! Art books are also my passion!! Thank you!!

[@nadialombardoni6636]

Thank you!! What a beautiful amount of books have you shown us!! I have really enjoyed the images and the sound of the pages (one of my fav triggers)!! I love your style!!! Merci beaucoup 😍🥰❤️

[@fulviab]

Your books are beautiful, I love this kind of books so much! These books make me a child, waiting for a fairy tale! You made me dream once again, thank you! And Tolkien holds a special place in my heart, I think John Howe made masterpieces with his drawings! I bought Alan Lee's books for The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. Beautiful.

[@rubytuesday9881]

What an extraordinary, well-produced ASMR video. The exquisite attention to detail, the carefully selected props and most importantly, the voice of an angel. Thank you so very much.

[@a.mie.533]

Yes, indeed - those oracle cards are so satisfying to look at! I probably couldn't keep myself from framing them and hanging them up on my walls ... :) - little postscript: I now purchased the oracle set and really like it- thank you for this tip! :)

[@vich5753]

Really love your show & tell type of video (like the one where you trace on your drawings and this one) so so much and hope you will do more of this. Love your RP videos as well. Keep up the good work and thank you for always feeding us with top-tier ASMR videos! Much love! 🌻

[@Vera0723]

less is sometimes more... this "very simple video" was sooo relaxing! one of my favorite asmr videos so far - and i love all of these pantings, so gorgeous and pleasant for the eye

[@maluregolim9779]

[@mounamsaid187]

I feel this warmth and wisdom to your presence and through the pure love you put in your art ❤️

[@DarkMika89]

I love illustrated books, I have a collection myself which is my treasure ❤ thank you so much for sharing yours!!

[@daschaschmidt]

The world of artists amazes with its magnificence. Your books are a clear confirmation of this. Thank you very much for the story, for showing truly beautiful, art that will take your breath away. I admire your work

[@pepowertessier]

Looooove this...I love the sounds of paper, pages...I spent a lot of time in the library as a child, I didn't know what ASMR was but I was always mesmerized by the quiet sounds there, this brought me right back there!

[@celestehernandez8910]

Love your videos Diane! I honestly can’t sleep without viewing a video every night. I’ve seen all of them multiple times! I love them all! Thank you for your soothing voice and magnificent talents!

[@Autorelaxx]

As another relaxation channel, I can say that this channel is amazing, deep relaxation is guaranteed ❤️😴❤️

[@annetheffo5154]

[@ninagrinats4450]

Это было так волшебно и в то же время интересно, что я так и не уснула до самого конца! Спасибо !😘 It was so magical and interesting the same time, that i can't fall asleep until the end! Thank you so much!😘

[@starryeyedstephanie]

Craft’s paintings are lovely! I think I saw her work in a few children’s books growing up, and they were my favorites because of the stunning art! I know she has a Twelve Dancing Princesses and Cinderella book!

[@geraldmellon740]

Fantastic. Production values second to none. Bravo!

[@MignonTare]

Sometimes I listen you before sleep, your voice and these old/magical things make me super calm. After this video, I think you might love the Codex Seraphinianus by Luigi Serafini as well.

[@katherinebergole8345]

This video took me right back to story time at the library and I AM HERE FOR IT. Thank you for sharing your talents with the world!

[@MrsSuperBubble]

The "La cuisine des fées" is also available in other languages. It looks a tiny bit different in German and it is called "Tischlein deck dich!" so I think there might be an English version, too 😊

[@MoonlightCottageASMR]

Thank you for the information, I just found it in german too (second hand) and added it in the description :) But it doesn't seem to exist in english, unfortunately...

[@phantomwaltz]

I wish it was in English. I'd buy it in a heartbeat!

[@missericawhite]

I love your Dressmaker video, I go back to it often. I bought that book in English because I couldn’t not own it for myself! 😍

[@GreenGiant2007]

I hadn’t heard of Kinuko before. Her work looks terrific. Thank you for an informative and aesthetically pleasing video.

[@violetatkins1097]

Omg!! You are a Kinuko Craft fan!!! Me toooooo! I LOVE her work 💜 Another reason to love you! 🥰

[@ElfEnchantress]

Your collection is absolutely enchanting, I’m so happy you shared this with us.

A very first video I've ever seen that so far got no dislike at all. Respect 🙌🏼

[@CaribouOrange]

Whispered and soft spoken, equally relaxing! I enjoyed the variety, thank you

[@mawmawd627]

My two favorite things! Books and your whispers. Can’t wait for the tarot video!!!!!!

[@TheBulle]

I know what I’ll be listening to later to fall asleep. 🥰

[@ahlemlisaghedira4519]

Bonsoir Diane ❤ Je salue vos efforts que vous fournissez pour la préparation de chacune de vos vidéos et votre imagination inouïe. Je veux bien qu'un jour vous faisiez une vidéo sur la cuisine d'antan. Vous choisissez l'époque et vous nous plongez dans le monde gastronomique des anciens. Ça serait magnifique je pense 😊

[@Marsday7]

The tracing was sooooo relaxing! Beautiful books, enjoyed the fashion history!

[@jamie.lynn004]

This sound makes my bookworm heart happy.😊

[@bartholomus3]

I love those beautiful cards at the end and the way you handled them ❤
