It is rare I am moved to tears watching videos about people’s art creations… I have struggled to put into words how the execution of this beautiful, and curiously haunting film, the narration, the story and of course this most extraordinary and exquisite Mermaid’s journal made me feel. A million thank yous for sharing your other worldly talents. I am so very grateful to have found your channel this evening.. whilst searching for inspiration for journals that a mermaid will have made…

Jibid, you’ve entirely outdone yourself. Not one page of this masterpiece is left without your laborious attention. The binding, the book covers, to each flip of the page reflects your poetic art beautifully. This creation, as well as all of your completed work, truly inspires us and ignites our imaginations to infinite possibilities. Thank you for sharing your beautiful soul with us.

Absolutely amazing journal and story. The colours are so beautiful.
Oh My Goodness! Such an Extraordinary Work of Art! An Awakening to the Senses! A Stunning and Absolutely Breathtaking Masterpiece! Your Video Creation~Showing the Gentile Child So Carefully handling this Precious Piece. Your Epic Storytelling and Collaborative Narration is Unlike Any I have Ever Experienced in my Lifetime. Tears Fill my Eyes from All that I feel... I was the Shore Operations Manager for a National Historic Sailing Schooner for many years. This Phenominal Journal transports me back to a Bygone era of time~the Warmth of the Antique Cook Stove, the Oil Fired Lanterns and the Tranquility of the Sea. The ebb and flow of the Tide is the feeling I experience when seeing this. Words fall so short to convey All that I feel. Thank You for Sharing this Majestic Wonder! Love & Hugs! 🥰❤👭

What a beautiful picture you paint, thankyou so much for that and your kind compliments. I must confess we had some difficulty with the film partly because of covid and partly because of my own tech inadequacies, in the end we had to make do with the footage we had to play with but the story was originally somewhat longer and we were given more background to where the journal came from and what happened to Nora, but i had to rewrite into a simplified version - i do hope that one day i can revisit it and tell the story properly, i hope you may enjoy it then also. Sorry for rambling!

@@jibidneary2212 Thank you So Much for your Beautiful message that warms my heart. I visited your shop and Thoroughly enjoyed meeting you through everything you write. Your Mechanical Forest Journal moves and Totally Mezmerizes me also. Words fall short at times to convey a true feeling or emotion. In these times, Silence speaks Volumes. I told Rick that I Must travel to where you are in the hopes of meeting you and seeing your works of Art. He was shocked as I am very much a homebody and have only traveled in the US. Your Journals are More Precious than an Entire Collection of artifacts in a museum because they're a part of You. I am Truly Thankful to breathe in your Incredible Video Masterpiece! Love and Hugs Jibid ❤👭

You’re words are as beautiful as Jibids. Both of you have taken me to a place I’ve never been, yet always longed to be. The antique wood burning stove... oil fueled lanterns. I imagine the wooden ship humming it’s eerily sad song song, as it navigates through turbulent water. Im drawn to that sound... the almost ominous creaking. A wooden ships bittersweet solo in d minor. How is it that I can miss something that ceased to exist before I was born. I’ve never even been on the ocean... let alone a ship of any kind. Both you and Jibid speak of a place I can only imagine. It brings me a happiness i can’t even ook forward to... a peace of serenity that disappeared into the past. An emotion I’ve not been allowed to feel. The past is kept alive only through stories and glorious works of art like Jibids and experiences so beautifully painted by you. Thank you both. ❤️
I've been missing you. I check back on your channel at least once a week. So today I was so excited to see your post. I can see that you've been creatively busy, creating another beautiful masterpiece. I love your Mechanical Forest so much. Ocean Song is a lovely and huge work of heart that speaks to all who treasure your work. Thank you for the touching story and the beautiful pages. ❤❤❤

wonderful book, wonderful story. thanks as always for sharing.
Just when I think I've seen the most magical book ever made, I watch another of your videos and find a tome more magical than I could have imagined. Not only is this book a true masterpiece, but the video was such a treat- the little girl thoroughly enjoying every page, tracing the lines with her fingers; the gentle wind turning the pages; the storytellers bringing the scene to life... it was perfect. Thank you.

Beautifull you have inspired me to make journals to leave to my children, I have stories that I haven’t told of loved ancestors who past away many years ago when I was young , I lost my lovely husband last year suddenly in his sleep, I’ve just started to do my crafting and sewing crafts I love making journals , this is a wonderful way to tell my stories to my children, I have two a daughter and son grown up and have homes of their own so I live on my own now with my little cat Lola, maybe now you have inspired me to get back to crafting I may be able to cope better with my grief of loosing my loving husband Chris who was a lovely man who loved nature, thank you for your beautifully work of art. love from annie from Oxfordshire.
