Doodle Journal Page & First Mini Book Tutorial

Hi guys, happy Wednesday! Firstly I just want to thank you everyone who left a kind & helpful comment on my last blog post, it's so wonderful that I know many kind people 1000s of miles away that I have never actually met. I love our art community!
Here's another page from the said 'sad' journal from that post, I couldn't be bothered to do much more than spray and doodle! Even so I'm beginning to feel a bit more myself with each page, and each day, that goes by.
I uploaded the first of the mini books from recycled greetings card tutorials last night. My editing program kept crashing when it was trying to pull over 11GB of video on 5 different mini books from various places so I decided to split the video down and make 5 individual ones. It not only makes the editing a lot easier, but also the converting & uploading process a lot quicker and hopefully means I wont bore anyone with 20 minutes of mini book making. A few minutes per mini book seems a lot more reasonable, and allows everyone to watch only the ones you want to see. So here's the first, a simple Japanese Stab Bound Style.
All of these mini's take only minutes to make, and I only spent minutes on them so don't expect too much from these videos: they are all super simple creations, I just thought it would be fun to make a bunch of different books to fit inside the larger art journals. Next videos are going be up over the next few days. Much love & warm wishes, Jennibellie xx
