I have only discovered you in the last 3 months. Thank you so much for your videos, there are many wonderful artists doing similar projects however in my opinion you are one of the best on youTube, because of your precision, clear teaching ability and a wonderful sense of balance and colour not to mention your artistic flair. You have opened another world for me in my retirement. Well done. Cheers Gold Coast Queensland.

Great technique - using the napkin liner to hold all the material in place is brilliant. Cheers!

I like all the really cool techniques you use. I have saved almost everything I have seen you do. I will be a beginner so you make it easy to follow! Thank you for sharing all your ideas!

I'm making them now since I seen video a week ago !! I keep watching your videos while I'm Journaling, then ye have such wonderful ideas, then I JUST HAVE TO DO THE PROJECTS !! LOL 🎉❤

Me too! 😂

I liked how you went back and showed how to fix a tear in the napkin. This is a beautiful idea and so thankful you shared it.

Oh my goodness, I love this! I love textured papers, can't afford them and making them is a much hard process, so now I can. . Thank you so much!

Love the result of this technique! Your videos are great; you show things clearly , and the written instructions really help too. Thank you for sharing your skills!

I learn so many lessons from you, frustrating little mistakes that I tried to cover up,thank you !! ❤❤❤

This is a great tutorial. Tonight I made 3 pages. Each one is unique even though I used the same embellishments. Super pretty. Thanks for sharing!!

OMG. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this technique. I have always loved handmade papers, but it is such a time consuming, messy project. This is an alternative that looks stunningly beautiful with a fraction of the mess. Thank-you so much.

What a great and easy project, not only for me, but for my grandchildren. 🎉. Thanks much.

Thanks. You made it completely doable. I'm not in my craftroom, but I'm making a mental list of things to use.

I made homemade paper over 30 years ago and have been interested to dip into this area again! I love the idea of FAUX handmade paper too!! Thank you for teaching us!

Sandy, a friend and I got into making paper, drying flowers and did something like this with the faux papers. Did you ever reverse collage? loved watching eileen's craft show on tv? my friends and I would tape the shows daily. I'm telling my age lol happy memories

Brilliant! It's about time someone came up with a way to get around the mess and hassle that is paper-making. You have a wonderful way of teaching, Natasa. Thank you. ~ Lisa

@@TreasureBooks I tried it back in 1990 I think I was. It is messy but so so incredibly satisfying. I loved adding things to it. Like petals, threads, a couple other materials I found in nature and in my home. Some sheets came out too thick. But I had fun.

I have watched this so many times, made so many beautiful pages and covers using this principle, experimented with variations and been inspired. Thank you.

The paper is beautiful. What a great project. Just love it.

What a great idea! I save teabags and tea, so I can give this a try. I’m going to use some manilla colored craft paper. Thanks for sharing 💜

Love bringing the outdoors in. I was thinking of going on gathering excursions. To hasten drying I have used the microwave oven. Use either a dedicated oven for crafting, or use edible blossoms in a kitchen microwave. Dried herbs do well, even OTC psyllium that I couldn't consume because it was expired. Fresh blossoms are interesting too. Mod podge seals it forever, however better used in clusters or stand alone page decorations. I read in an arts magazine, Art in America, a few years ago (clipped the article), that a Portland, Oregon artist, Yuji Agematsu, went on daily excursions for 25 years to gather small bits of rubbish from city streets and created miniature sculptures, one each day, like a time capsule. In a sense, these handmade paper could be a time capsule too, other than just beautiful ephemera. I'm drifting in my thoughts, but since so much of junk journaling is memory preservation, the paper that is handmade with personal relics could be part of the story. I know 200 years from now, a preserved leaf would be so cool. Awhile ago, you tube artist, PinkOddBird, showed an old scrapbook, I believe from the 19th century, that had a stem of weed preserved, she mused that it was the coolest. So I'm convinced that I should gather more objects from nature and the environment and maybe less purchased scrap book paper into my junk journals, although that also will be retro one day.

I couldn't agree more; I find the lilt repeating in my own brain when I see a piece of "papah" in the bin. I rescue it just as our sweetest Natasa has rescued me with her easy-going approach. She's turned a semi-stressful (decisions, decisions!) craft into a blissful creativity session "going with the flow" of her affirmative words!

Just a note to say WOW!!!!! I can't wait to try your process and HOPE mine turns out as well.

Love this way of paper making!

This is so nice that I want to do that right away!!!!! You idea is awesome, the work looks fantastic, and the colors you use are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing!!!

I am ADDICTED to your page...very inspiring!! I have literally watched over 30 hours easy...so much so that my son who is 32...and not a crafter lol was mesmerized by what you were making in that video that he said..." what is this? Im gonna have to check this out when i get home"... and this all started with my daughter making a junk journal...i can't seem to watch enough of your videos!!

I added some gilding flakes sprinkled randomly, and bits of threads, metallic and other, and anything that happened to be at hand. It’s such a creative project and I love the texture!
