The blood stain on the fabric...stitch practicing on leather...painting of husband’s funeral! Hilarious and clever. Awesome journal!

[@rozenart5768]

I know this is two years old but it is a stunning work and I would have purchased it as I have a love for all things medical and a lover of reading/writing etc... you are lucky to own this whoever you are!! To die for!!

[@joycenavarro7697]

Wow Nic, l don't usually comment but this project is out of this world. Such attention to detail..amazing. l live just outside Bournemouth where Mary Shelley is buried in the family plot ..along with Percy her husband's heart...that is a story in itself!!

[@1888starz]

I think Mary Shelley would have loved this book too. Great work of art. Love it.

[@thatdayintimebysue3551]

An "anatomically" perfectly crafted journal if ever there was one! Wow. I'm speechless!

[@chrisrasmussen4612]

So lovely, love to know how you made the frame and the box, the color is beautiful, the book is amazing. Thank you for sharing.

[@kich6172]

Beautiful work and wonderful storytelling. I couldn't imagine how you would top the Sherlock Holmes one, and you soooo did. I'll be watching the ebay auction.

[@orfanannie21]

A wonderfully illustrated history lesson! I would feel so humble writing in this "Tome" where Mary Shelley is featured! Wonderful work of art. Just found it today! So much work involved. Love your "stuff"!

[@MelissaLuvsSurgio]

[@kayhammock]

I'm a literary geek and such a fan Frankenstein, the author and science. Love, love, love it! Wendy

[@sallycouture9604]

Love the book! Keep the stories coming (The Amazon Story, Sherlock Holmes) . Just getting into the journal world and it seems like everything is lacy etc. Not me but I need ideas. Love your imagination. You ARE part of the journals you make that I have seen. Not cookie cutter out of the paper pack. .Keep them coming!!!

[@curlyanneb1973]

I’m new to your channel and have subscribed but how in the world you can part with these masterpieces is a mystery to me. I actually gasped when you opened the box and I saw the wrap. So beautifully presented. I wanna be your kid on Halloween! Your imagination....wow.

[@parisnchristlove]

Ahem, ahem...again Nik the booksmith, you leave me speechless! Such an amazing work of art - well done:-)

[@jenniferlink3319]

OMG you are freaking amazing woman!!! I love when you come up with these type of themes. You are out of this world amazing!!!! Unfortunately i am unable to afford to take your course but if im ever able i would in a heartbeat! Thank you for sharing.

[@susannaeasdale1162]

[@carolschristiancottage42477]

You are an absolutely extraordinary artist! I can only dream of owning one of your books. So, you have inspired me to learn how to create one for myself. I am so glad I found your channel. The first book I am going to attempt to create will be a book for my Granddaughter and her husband as a wedding gift. They are getting married May 26th, 2018. I hope that gives me enough time to put something together. Something like "The Story of Us" so they can keep a record of their life together from the beginning. Wish me luck..............

[@NiktheBooksmith]

I have faith in you, Carol!! thank you for your kind words =)

[@prettypaperpieces8709]

As always, your book is awesome. TFS...Dar

[@gmail_rosy]

Phenomenal 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@mizrivasfigueroa6300]

I love this book😍🤩

[@sharoncarroll8892]

Excellent job , I'm sure you worked very hard on your research. Love these large journals ! I know they take some time ; I fall all over myself trying to remember all that I want to include in a project before I forget . I guess it would be wise to do some sort of outline but you know how that goes ; I don't need to write that down I won't forget, ( haha ). Love , and again a great job !

[@NiktheBooksmith]

outline? what is this thing you speak of? ha! yeah, Im not really good at writing things down and planning...it just all gets piled into an "idea heap" and I sort out the flow as I move along =)

[@jacquichimes]

Just Wow wow wow - that is all x

[@RebelSol67]

Nik....I am in love. Will treasure it always and forever :)

[@jenniferlink3319]

OMG you are so amazing!!!

[@debrastone3536]

The plane added a spooky sound to the video 😮

[@annedwyer457]

This is absolutely b***y fantastic!!! Hope you do really, really well with your auction.

[@terryannanderson8812]

So cool.

[@ReneesatItAgain]

Goodness, this is amazing! Love that Gorge got a cameo in it : )) One of my favorite characteristics about the monster is Shelley invests him with compassion, intelligence (he speaks German, reads)...the locket...and he is self-aware. The trippy part of Shelley's bio is her family dynamics...lots of step-kids, kids from previous marriages, kids with her father's second wife, she and her brother wedlock babies....really incredible, but the Brits rolled like that. Really beautiful and intriguing book - I LOVE the tails....they look pretty on grunge or frilly books. Lucky winner when its over!! TFS x

[@NiktheBooksmith]

oh man, GT, the story of her life reads like a novel! I def took liberties in my narrative of this journal, but you are spot on, just her original life story is dramatic! thank you, my friend!

[@ReneesatItAgain]

A Conrad's Heart of Darkness one would be cool too.....love and admire your work, girlie as you know!!!! It's quite fascinating. xgt

[@MissRoux]

Breathing, in every way possible. I would love to have one or at least know how to do one. I would love to see one of Lovecraft and/or Poe. Cheers from Argentina 😊

[@AzaleaLuna]

I really like the Lovecraft idea. She has done a Poe journal that is amazing and an Annabel Lee journal.

[@MissRoux]

phennec Thank you very much for your reply. I will check those out. Have a great weekend 😉

[@rankinstudios5342]

Why not take Nik's class, "Adventures in Blacksmithing" ?

[@neldaekstrom5720]

Omg! The needle, the stitches. The blood, the book and all the anatomical pictures are all awesome! Awesome story! Awesome, awesome! Can you stop by my house and teach me your ways lol? So talented!

[@NiktheBooksmith]

thank you, Nelda! Im so happy you enjoyed it =) if this is right up your alley...you'll really like the journal Im making now...stay tuned!

[@HooliganMomma]

Seriously Fantastic!!!! xo

[@junkjournalmama8826]

Exquisite!

[@leiannalogan4197]

Another great journal, Nik.... amazing work. Just a little tid-bit, I heard on fox news this past Halloween, there was a baby boy born on October 31st of this year, and their last name is Frankenstein!!!

[@LedgerAndLace]

WOW WOW WOW!!! Soooooo AWESOME!!! :-)

[@rneustel388]

I’m in love with this journal!! I’d love to see if anyone’s done a journal for Frederick George Abberline documenting the hunt for Jack the Ripper? Or Jean Valjean hunting for Javert in Les Miserables? I’d love to try that since they’re two my favorite books-Dracula being in the top spot!

[@sarahspencer3737]

Fabulous

[@starsailorscrapper]

Just wow.....♥
