Studio Vlog, Spring Delights and progress on the Castle

In this April Vlog I share some spring delights after our first warm weekend of the year, my progress on the medieval book castle garden I'm creating for the next exhibition of Le Centre des Monuments Nationaux about Gardens which will travel in different castles in France in the upcoming months and years and which will start in June.
The Dollhouse Workshop will close its doors on April 20 till spring 2025.

Another beautiful video! Clochette on her throne watching you sideways!! My heart filled with laughter ❤ Hugs to you both

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you :))

Dear Laetitia ❣️almost 35 years ago, while living in a little village in England, a neighbor little daughter, around 9 or 10, made some marzipan fruit for me for Christmas. The stems of the pears and apples were whole cloves and painted just like your apples on your tree! It was a lovely memory for me ❣️Your hair looks so darling with the hair band and all curled. Spring has sprung here with my bluebells and violets blooming. The book, castle and figures are going to be stunning ❣️❣️Happy Spring ❣️❣️🦔🦔🧚‍♀️🥰🌺🪻😻🐇🥰

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Marie Anne! that's nice it reminded you this memory , thank you, I enjoy hairbands these days I have fun making them as they are very fast to do and to wear unlike other sewing projects. Your garden must be very beautiful and smell nice too! Happy spring to you too !

[@maliciamalicia6702]

Oh you are doing it great Laetitia! All the Fairy Strength to you. Hugs!

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thnak you! You are very kind!! :))

[@312John]

Thank you for another beautiful video. It is bedtime and I wish to dream of being in your castle and reaching out the window to pick an apple. I know it will be succulent and sweet. Good night.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you for your sweet message, I'm sure these medieval organic apples would be very tasty ! :) Good Night or Good morning now!

[@JoelleFromParis]

Such an enjoyable video (as always I should say). The castle turned out beautifully and the finished scene promises to be breathtaking.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Joelle! you are very kind :) we will see that soon!

[@MsMaryLS]

It never ceases to amaze me the beautiful work that you do! You are truly a great artist! And I absolutely love the blue turrets on your castle - that saturated blue is just gorgeous! Your kitty was adorable in this video, and so are you! Love from California!

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you, it's a kind compliment ! Clochette thanks you from her warm and cozy blankets on my bed because it's freezing here today. I wish you a beautiful end of week in California !

[@diba412]

Incredible, as always, Laetitia...you never fail to amaze me with your new work...just gorgeous...that castle❤and little Clochette, as cute as ever❤...have fun on your walks😊

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Diana, yes walks in nature at this season are so precious I will for sure enjoy them, Clochette thanks you, enjoy this beginnning of Spring too ! :)

[@susanamann1806]

Love the apple tree, the blue tops, the fact it is on a book and your figure of course.Magical. A wisteria vine and a rose tree would be great.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you we will se what plants and flowers get added I have already done some wisteria for past castles so not sure I will redo it here , but we will see ; )

[@angelmorrigan7680]

I love that is all sitting on a book!

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Francine :)

[@judybriggs325]

Beautiful start

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Judy! I wouldn't say it 's a start since I already spend 3 almost 4 full weeks on it but it's a middle ;)

[@marjanwolfs6273]

I love the castle on the book. It looks if you tell a story and all the figures and plants are coming out the book and become real. Its amazing. The weather is like in France, 9*C some rain, but everything is growing and green. Hugs for Clochette, she looks so cute on the chair. Have a nice week.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you !The revenge of winter is pretty brutal after 28°last sunday itis 4° here this evening !but you are right with all this green everywhere it's still nice and it's good that it's raining a lot much more than last year, Clochette thanks you ! Have a nice week too Marjan ! :)

[@heathers510]

I adore your work! You are so incredibly talented! This is yet another one of your masterpieces and I’m in love with it already but cannot wait to see the next update!

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Heather ! hopefully the next update will be when it is completed or almost completed ! Thank you !! :)

[@singingneedle953]

trés jolie! I love that you painted the turret roofs to resemble the sky at dusk! 💛💚💙

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you !

[@roksannastephens4375]

Hello Laetitia and Choclette, lovely Spring vlog. The start of the castle and manuscript is looking very promising so far. Can't wait to see the pages of illumated manuscripting. Agree another tree or too. Choclette, I see you're enjoying that comfy chair with a view.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Roksanna ! Oh yes Clochette is in heaven on her chair when the sun comes in :)

[@susanamann1806]

Fantastical as always,so beautiful. Happy Spring. Your cat is a joy. Love and wishes to you from America.

Your work is amazing! Thank you for your always lovely and interesting videos.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you for this kind message :)

[@TheZeyre]

Thanks for this art video - just love the way the fairytale book merges with the castle! Just a delight and the Blues for the turrets are quite perfect! True about the radio ... Something nice about being surprised with a song that has not been preselected! Amazing work! ❤🎉❤🎉

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you ! glad you like the progress on the castle, yes isn't it ? it's good to be out of our musical comfort zoneand to discover musics we would have never disovered on ourselves or thanks to some algorythms. Thank you !!

[@fionasimagination]

Thank you, for keeping us uptodate with your wonderful work and life. Your videos are always so inspiring and such a delight!❤ I always start my mornings with classic radio too I've done so all my life I picked up the habit randomly as a child and never stopped😊❤

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Fiona for your kind message , so you were doing that too as a child! Nice ! it's just a great uplifting habit, starting your day with beautiful music that sometimes you know but often don't but always trigger some curiosity. fFor unknown reaons I ve stopped to do that for many many years , I forgot how it enriched my life and made me start the day on the right foot :)

[@user-cy1zf2jl2w]

Beautiful Merci🤩

[@Merveillesenpapier]

You're welcome !

[@mariafusco7899]

How wonderful to see your magical project evolve! I am looking forward to seeing it complete! Thank you so much for a lovely video, your little garden is beautiful!

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Maria, this window is nice but the rest is pretty bare for now because some seeds are growing and summer plants are waiting for now it's still too cold these days to plant them.

[@taniawelch1149]

Absolutely exquisite as always 🩷

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Tania !

[@etherealart2167]

Oh wow! So beautiful and magical! Such a unique presentation of the book. All the details are scrumptious and the scrolls and flowers. Your videos are such a joy and your kitty is a sweetie🥰 What do you call her ?🎉

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you! Glad you like it so far though it's going to look better once it is all completed :) M ycat's name is Clochette which means small bell but in french is almost the translation of Tinkerbell.

[@etherealart2167]

@@Merveillesenpapier Aw! Tinkerbell is so perfect for her ❤️🥰

[@2LLs53]

Wow its looking so amazing!!!! You are so talented!!!! I love watching your process - so inspirational 🌺

[@rozanidesignsmasquerade7050]

You’re most welcome. Yay! 😍

[@davidjohnston9356]

Happy Spring, Laetitia. 🌱It is fun when everything comes to life, including us. I myself feel like I am slowly waking up from a long winter sleep. Your balcony flowers are always looking so cheerful and welcoming. The castle and flowers will be amazing, and I love how they jump out of the pages of this magic book.📚 It's going to be a treat to see it complete.❤

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Happy Spring to you too Sabine, the energy of spring has really something special which is so revigorating, Thank you! We will see how it turns out, iI have a lot of fun making progress on it.

[@anthonylewischurchill-theg233]

so much work, so nice too

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you :)

[@claremaidofthewave251]

Hi I live not far from Sir Walter Scott’s home “Abbottsford” near Melrose in Scotland, UK. I visit frequently, it has wonderful gardens and quirky interiors with a fairytale like architecture. I’m sure he would find your castle magical and inspiring and be so pleased you are reading his books. When I took my sister who now lives in Tasmania there last year on a visit she made to the UK I spontaneously filmed some of the gardens and uploaded them onto You Tube if you want to have a look at them. Lovely editing and creations, thank you ❤🏰🐈x

[@Merveillesenpapier]

I would love to see this place someday, writers houses are my absolute favourite places to visit , now that I'm more and more acquainted with his books and his life, I would love to see the landscapes castles that inspired him and his home of course !!You are lucky to live in his area oh nice Im going to watch your videos ! Thank you :)

[@claremaidofthewave251]

@@Merveillesenpapier I really hope you get the chance to visit there. At Christmas they build a big book Xmas tree on a round seat with fairy lights throughout. ❤️ edit: oh and they write lines from his books on paper baubles and hang them in the windows.

[@user-oh9op8cj4u]

Hi, Laetitia! The idea of the text and illuminations spilling out of the book is really coming together! What a beautiful image! The people who are lucky enough to visit the exhibition in person have a real treat waiting for them. I'm afraid my comment for one of your recent videos got posted on a much older video, and my effort to correct it was not successful😢 I'm just too old to deal with modern technology. Your balcony gardens are a beautiful witness to Spring. Our hot spell relaxed a bit, but I do fear we are facing a fierce Summer. Best wishes to you in your kingdom, Sweet Clochette, and all your loved ones.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Jane ! Don't worry about that! a lot of people actually write comments on older videos by mistake you are not the only one and there is no problem really ;)If it can give you comfort I'm terrible with technology too and I don't know how to use a smartphone ! Sorry you are already experiencing very hot days , yes I can imagine it might worry you when real summer arrives... Thank you! Clochette sends you a cat hug warm and cozy in her blankets in this cold morning ♥

[@elegantwitchery2054]
