Your voice it's so beautiful and calming

Brilliant idea 💡

Really enjoyed this video, thank you. It reminded of using same technique I discovered through my own experimental play years and years ago. The technique wasn't new then and it's not new now but I loved the moment I 'discovered it' just through exploration. It's great when textile artists like Shelly, and yourself of course, share techniques like this so we can all be reminded of them or even better, discover them for the first time. I have Shelly's book... loads of brilliant ideas in there and reminders of some I need to revisit. I feel a grid coming on... it's been a while..

That's so cool! Just ordered one with 12 pans. Excited😃

More power to you and thank you for taking more challenges. ❤😇 I'll take inspiration from you in my journey to take over my fears 💪

I TOOK UP WATER COLOUR FLOWERS AND I LOVE IT I ENJOY PAINTING AND DRAWING EVERYTHING, I ADMIRE ALL KINDS OF ART WORK. MY DAD AND SISTER ARE ALSO ARTISTS, BYE MARIA

HELLO ROSE, FIRST TIME I SEE YOUR VIDEO, YOUR BIRDS ARE VERY GOOD, AND YOUR COLOURFUL SKETCH BOOKS, I TOO PAINT AND DRAW IN SKETCH BOOKS AND PANEL BOARDS TOO. HOPE TO SEE MORE VIDEOS, OK HELLO FROM THE ISLAND OF MALTA. BYE MARIA I LIKE MAKING FRIENDS WITH OTHER ARTISTS.

I love this, Rose! It's really interesting to see the development of your process and how you've been working and thinking about that.... I'd love to read that book about fear and art!

Thank you Rose, I really enjoyed this video! I love all your colourful new pages! That's Arctic sketchbook is really lovely! And I do also have a fear of using my paints, isn't that crazy? You inspire me to do so much! Love all your birds too, I want to paint birds now 😅

Wonderful thanks for sharing ❤❤

here in brazil the Hahnemuhle's D&S sketchbook is really expensive... since art supplies here are so expensive we're actually used to a lot worse quality sketchbooks (and other art supplies in general), like the Canson's ArtBook One 100g wich is the most common for people to buy, so really any of the hahnemuhle's sketchbooks are very high quality for us! great video, thanks for the review :D

Thank you!!!

Ooooh I love your new hair cut and colour, it really suits you. Sorry I missed the Live, got got off work, I'm gonna enjoy it now 😊

Love it I’ll have to try it!

Thanks Rose! What a great idea. I love the way your junk journals look. I'm interested in making a concertina version... any tips about how to work the folds and the covers?

That was really enjoyable to watch and I really love this idea, thank you Rose for sharing 🥰

I wonder if wallpaper would be successful?

Really nice technique!

What kind of glue do you use? Thanks

Beautiful! I will try dye na flow. Thank you for sharing.

What a gorgeous resource for artwork. Thank you, Rose!

CORRECTION: I said in the video that dye-na-flow doesn’t need to be heat set, but in fact it does if you want it to be washable. On Jacquard’s website it says: “Dye-na-flow is permanent on any porous or semi-porous surface… it spreads on fabric until it is thoroughly absorbed and even, sinking into the fibers like a dye instead of sitting on the surface like thicker paints and inks. The colors are super vibrant & washfast and will not change the feel of the fabric.” I totally got the wrong end of the stick from this description and thought it meant heat setting is not necessary in order for it to be permanent. In fact in reading further it seems that if you’re not intending to wash it, you don’t really need to heat set it, but it DOES need to be heat set for true permanence. You can easily do this with a hot iron. Sorry for the misinformation!

Hi Rose - lovely video :). I have used Dye-na-flow on gauze before and it works really well. It does need to be heat set though - an iron would work :) x

Love the effect but…what’s the advantage of using those dyes rather than say diluted acrylic inks? Is it that they don’t stiffen the fabric? I’m thinking to use acrylic inks on thin plastic & then use the marks left as transfer sheets.

This is genius! Thank you so much for sharing! I’m off to order a ring bound sketchbook ❤️

Just love it!

Your an artist for sure! Wish I had a grandma like yours. After my husband passed away I lost my desire to create, it’s been almost 10 years…I’m on a new journey to recover this freedom. Found your videos inspiring. Got all my material and I’m so scared to just open my sketchbook.

Be happy! You inspire me. Have a great journey!

Thanks Rose for spending time with us, I loved it! lots of very pretty papers! especially love the spirograph!

I just got one of your books from Amazon, the Grunge Artist Paper Book. I’m gonna use a page or two in a collage page tonight!

Gorgeous!

Congratulations! Your books are beautiful!

Your books are gorgeous! I love your collaged journal pages.

These are EXCELLENT!! What a great time to be an artist ! 🎨✨️

WOW!!! Those are beautifully done!

Wow, congratulations on your first books! They look absolutely delicious, so much texture and so colourdul too! great photography and great prints! It's such a great idea to make doubles of each design because sometime we just love both sides of every page. good call! I'd love to buy these books one day. And yes please, a video showing us how you make your junk journal, I love this kind of junk journals.

I love it. Do you remember the name of the flea market? I'm going to Greece in July and would love to go there. Thank you

Do you ship to the US?

😊

I watched along with the recording and worked in my sketchbook. Thanks for the company and inspiration !

So cute I thought about doing a tiny kit too but I haven’t yet, yours is great and so small!

Beautiful Rose! Thank you I really love your layering ideas :)

Thank you Rose for making time to share all these wonderful pages with us, I really love all of them. I am very interested in signing and I will be able to do so after the 4th April. Quick question, is the course lifetime access ? Thank you 😊

This is so cute ❤❤❤

Brilliant! So sweet and handy (literally)!

What do you mean by "kitchen paper", is that paper towels? Yours look stronger than that? I am in the USA :) I just ordered that book also thank YOU!!!

I think you might want to invest in quarter pans. That way you can add a black, brown, and white. I have quarter pans and they work fine with water brushes, especially the smaller brush pens. You can also buy a terry cloth wrist band to use to clean your brush and you can adhere your quarter pans, to the round container, with rubber cement. That will keep them from shifting around but allow you to remove and replace them as needed. But personally, I would also add a small, cross-body bag to hold my equipment. That way I could add a pencil, eraser, and small water bottle. I have a nylon one, that weighs almost nothing, that is mean to hold a passport and other necessary papers.

I love this idea! I'm going to go and find my stick - from one of my favourite trees. It seems to me a very meditative practice, wrapping and thinking about my intention or wish. Thank you!!
