This is a great easy way to make a sketchbook! I’m currently working in my own homemade concertina sketchbook and I love it, I’ll definitely try your method, thanks for the great idea!🥰

FANTASTIC! What size was your watercolor paper to begin with? You ended up with a very nice sized sketchbook. Thanks for your talent, time and effort in making videos to share.

it was a full sized A1 piece of mixed media paper. Appreciate your kind and generous comment Finley, thank you

Debbie hi, I just found your channel - very inspiring. We met a few years ago at a workshop with Idris Murphy. Will be making a new sketchbook following your instructions very soon!

Hi Sarah, nice to hear from you. Hope you enjoy making your own concertina book…

Fabulous!

After you've folded your book, do you glue the 3 loose pages together or do you cut pages and then glue? Love your inspiring videos!

Hi Paul, glad you enjoyed this. I do glue to extra 3 pages together. But sometimes I split the book at the back and join with tape. Both options have advantages… Have fun Debbie

hi back to you and hope you are making your own book...

If you dont have that big sheet how many a4 sheets of paper should you tape it up to be in comparison

@debbiemackinnon7202

Just join as many sheets of A4 as you need. Fold each one in half to create a double page spread.

FAB for sure!! Do you then glue the parts that are folded so they become one 'page'? Can it open the reverse way round? thank you... finally a method without Glueing and losing 1/2" each time...

once all folded up I work on it and then split and rejoin each set of 4 pages at the back with brown paper tape. No glue involved.

Great demonstration. Thank you. What paper did you use?

hi Eva its a smooth hot press mixed media paper. I prefer smooth paper rather than textured but its a personal choice, this is 200 gsm, I find heavier paper hard to fold.

Is that water colour a mix of paint and water or is it real water colour

@debbiemackinnon7202

It’s watercolour from a tube mixed with water. Not sure what you mean by ‘real’. It’s artist quality paint from Daniel Smith.

Beautiful abstract pitty could not hear you.xx

Debbie, What kind of paper were you using to make your concertina?

Hi it’s a full sheet of 200 gsm mixed media paper- I find a heavier paper gets hard to fold accurately

Do you mean in a way that you couldn't figure out what she's doing? It's clear in my view.

Wouldn’t it be easier to see where to cut if you cut on the unpainted side?
