**Squeal** This is my journal, and I can't wait to hold it in my little mermaid hands, Jibid! How lucky am I? Daughter of a boatbuilder, I grew up in Plymouth by the sea, and could see the sea with the midnight sky above from my bed every night, and I miss it so now I live inland... I love all the little details, and the rough-hewn finish, the loose threads, beads and so on... You're right I love the dark side of the sea, [but am a bit girly at heart LOL]. And yes, being an actor, I agree with you about Shakespeare - and you've chosen some lovely quotes. So, so thrilled. I knew you'd rise to the challenge magnificently even though it's not 'your thing'. I hope you're as pleased as I am... Thanks again, Helen xx

[@jibidneary2212]

Helen Ayres you have made me very happy indeed to hear that helen, thankyou. I was so pleased how the journal turned out, I almost feel like it had a mind if its own lol. Knowing that little bit about your background makes it sound just right for you, how lovely x

[@pamelamanuel272]

Lovely. I like the tracing paper dyed up. So love the boat with the cheecloth. Looks like he is in the middle of a storm! I enjoy your work very much!🌸

[@jibidneary2212]

Pamela Manuel thanks so much pamela :)

[@dollycreating]

I've been saving up bits and pieces over the summer for a mermaid journal. Your journal makes me want to make it right now lol. Absolutely dreamy! I know you say the ocean isn't you're thing but you've managed to capture its mystery, melancholy and magic in this journal. Wonderfully executed 🐬

[@jibidneary2212]

gipsyrose paperie thankyou sweetie, appreciate that, I'm sure your will be beautiful as always x

[@ChasingTadpoles]

[@jibidneary2212]

[@poppydoodles8514]

I have just discovered your channel and all I can say is WOW! This book is wonderful and seeing it immediately transported me back to playing Myst, an other worldly computer adventure game that I used to love. Its like its come out of that world. I can't begin to work out how you amassed all the materials, let alone put it all together with such attention to detail. That you love what you do really comes across. Now...... I have all your other videos to watch........😊

[@jibidneary2212]

Poppy Doodles how lovely, thankyou very much poppy :)

[@kimberlynorman2618]

I have to add, I watch these videos over and over, because of all the inspiration. I'm so happy when there's a new one. But I'm not stalking

kimberly norman lol Kimberly! Glad to hear it, thankyou sweetie :)

[@kimberlynorman2618]

I want to thank you so much for the tissue paper dying explanation. I made an autumn journal for my granddaughter, using this technique, and punched large maple leaves from the tissue...so pretty.

[@jibidneary2212]

[@karenpruis501]

Holy cow, Jibid! This is one of your best yet. Perhaps moving a little out of your comfort zone has led to such great creativity while still incorporating your love of nature. Well done. I have made sure to share with some friends. warm regards Karen.

Thank you for this "salty" beauty ❤️🍀❤️🍀

very unique .I love it

[@jibidneary2212]

mattie parker thanks so much Mattie :)

[@carolfarney-creativethough2725]

Such a beautiful journal, Jibid. It is always a good day when you have put up a new video! Each one is so inspiring. Is there a secret to how you get your pages to lay so flat? I think you said there are 9 signatures. How many pages do you put in each one?

[@jibidneary2212]

Creative Thoughts thankyou so much hun, I always press my dried paper with the iron. But not so many in each signature, i think it was average of five sheets folded because I think it sits better, probably about 80 pages or 160 writing sides in all.

[@loria4810]

spectacular!!!!!!!!!

[@jibidneary2212]

Thanks so much Lori :D

[@kirkwood512]

What's your way of drying the leaves and flowers? Love your journals and flip through videos!

[@jibidneary2212]

kirkwood512 I use the old fashioned method of several weeks between (newspaper) and heavy books :)

[@kimberlynorman2618]

I'm not a sea fan,but this book is absolutely smart and cool. I love the dying on tracing paper, with what do do apply the ink?

[@jibidneary2212]

kimberly norman mostly spray bottles, the deep green was the only one I used the distress dabber bottle that it comes in. x

[@jibidneary2212]

kimberly norman you're welcome :)

[@MoonandSixpence]

what did you say the name of the artist is who did that gorgeous mermaid painting? wig wellen? I've been googling but cant find anything. Thanks!

[@jibidneary2212]

Tracy Blanchard it is John Reinhard weguelin x

[@susanbass3450]

The pages are all right side up. How do you put a page in your journal that is not sideways and showing in two different areas of the signature. (Is that better?) 😊

[@jibidneary2212]

Susan Bass umm, no, still not getting what you mean, i dont do anything differently in that regard to anybody else, as far as i can tell, sorry

[@susanbass3450]

How do you get the pages in your signatures to be vertical rather than horizontal?

[@jibidneary2212]

Susan Bass sorry i dont understand the question

[@veroniqueloyens1819]

absolument magnifique belgium erurope

[@jibidneary2212]

Many thanks Veronique x
