LOVE your tea bag ideas!!!!! We've been saving them for quite awhile, but didn't know what to do with them!!!!!

When I started teaching in the early 70s, I ironed glossy pictures onto clear contact paper, and then I washed the paper off to make an overhead picture.

This looks fantastic! Is it still available? I'd seriously love to do it! Ellen Rigor

I love how you open your tutorials.

Would this work using flowers? I’m still hoping a newsletter is in the works 🥰

thank you for this video - did I miss you telling us what glue you use? I think I heard you say paper glue??? can you please give more details?

So many GREAT techniques 😊TFS

Fahrenheit 451! Read it . Please do!

Hi, today I saw a few of your amazing video's for the first time. You make beautifull things and I like the way you explained. Thank you so much. Lots of love❤

I think embroidery floss would make for a colorful piece.

Hi, Kelly--I am wondering whether I could sandpaper the shiny cover/pages like you showed for glossy magazine pages and then put on the gesso? It looked like stripping the glossy layer off could be hard? Thank you for any advice. Best, Tina

I just discovered your channel. I am a very new crafter and currently spending time gathering intel. You have some unique tips and ideas. I am looking forward to learning more. Thank you!

these are so cute!! and artsy and useful and so very ecological!! I was wondering how can I use the suspicious, plasticky twine I get with the egg cartons from the market (30 pc, large trays). I can also use leftovers from macrame projects. and as for the paper?!! I can use just about anything!! including failures from the momigami technique I learned from you [ and now I got to the part where you show how you made a net from your momigami pieces ]. can you imagine the effect of some dark paper netting like this, doubled up on pastel pages? or at least some light pictures/designs/ilustrations and now you're talking, I feel like trying a "kinked up" yarn as base... 🤔 it might come up even more organic, and lacy, and interesting 🤭 as usual, thanks for sharing!!

Love vintage and Antique stuff

The results are amazing! 👏🏼 And I’d be thrilled with what you referred to as your ‘imperfect’ results! TFS your technique 😁 Steph

Have you tried using a metal or silicone steamer? I’d so, does that work?

I love everything you have found!!! I am catholic and love all of the religious items youve found. They all look like they are in such good shape. I didnt see this video in time to get i to the drawing which makes me sad. But its ok i will be going to your website and looking at your ephemeera packages which i am very interested in. Thanks for sharing all the wonderful items youve found!! Looking forward to your next video!!

will need to try this, thanks

Lovely

Will the oil from the momigami ed paper transfer onto other papers? I’m not a fan of what olive oil smells like when it gets old. I’m wondering about the smell.

All these items are beautiful and precious. Lucky you for finding them!

What an amazing collection you have! Also, and totally unrelated… you have the most calming voice. You should narrate or do voice work!

Hi Kelly, I love everything you found in France! And the shopping bag from Super U is amazing! Would love to win this for sure!! Thanks also for all your free scans😍

Oh my gosh, this actually added so much to my paper and fabric arts! I sew, paint, make cards, and many more things, but this grabbed me hard, lol! I have tons of picture pages for my bird embroideries, and now I can actually use this technique in addition to my sewing. My first momigami pages are going to be of birds. Thanks so much for the knowledge!

Question How do you know if a book has rag paper?

Yes, I get it. I got a tote of free old books today. And got a stack of old books for $10. ❤

I do have a tiny question... can one adhere these papers with glue to another surface?

I’ve seen how you squirt Citra Cal oil onto glossy National Geographic mag pics. Close book for 15 minutes. Go back and see how ink has dissolved and distorted pictures. Anyone try this?

Unbelievably crazy awesome! And…..I love your phrases you use. I need to go back and write them down for a collection. AND, I love how you add a clever little ending to your videos! You are an excellent teacher!

I have to come back and write another comment as I am finishing your video. Loooooooooooooove the idea of making sheet into a bracelet! Can you imagine how much fun it would be to play with it as you wear it and make the scrunchy, crunchy, crinkly sound?! Yummmmmy. I make jewelry! Hey! How about a super cool brooch?! I made one using Silky Solvent, and this method would be similar but made from paper rather than ribbon and thread textiles. And……How about a necklace statement piece! YOU have made my mind explode!!!!!

FABulous idea to use single layer of napkin. Looooooove this shabby, grungy look. It’s mesmerizing!!! New subscriber. Love ya! Thanks for knowing no annoying background music is necessary.

So many fantastic techniques! The stencil texturing is amazing! Thank you for the inspiration! Can't wait to give this a go!🥰

Finding your channel has helped re-spark my love of paper crafts and journaling. Thank you!!

My dad used to write travel journals. The other day I found a lot of notebooks in his stash and I felt like I stumbled upon a treasure from back in time

Thank you for your inspiration. Can’t wait to have a little time this weekend to try etegami! ❤

Love the protection pins, I use vintage jewelry and make charm necklaces, how lucky to find them.. would love to vintage shop in France… a girl can dream… thanks for all you share

Very glad that you decided to make your courses available again. I've taken them all and have enjoyed them and gotten plenty of useful information. I also look forward to new courses in the future. The changes that you are making are good ones for me. I signed up immediately for the newsletter. Coincidentally, recently I wanted to take another look at your course on making books without sewing and then remembered it wasn't available. I can now go through it again and refresh my memory. Thanks for all the work you do to stimulate, educate and encourage your viewers.

Lovely things You did Got 💕💕💕💕

Library dumpsters are also a great place. It's horrifying how many books they throw out on a regular basis.

How do you clean a leather book cover, and what to do if it smells musty ? Thank you for any answer ❤️

I love finding more in my life! So Fun

I look forward to all the new things you will share with us in the future. Especially fountain pens and ink. I grew up in Germany and we all wrote with fountain pens. This was back in the day of penmanship. I recently bought a fountain pen online for my art journaling. I had forgotten how nice it is to write with one. Have a great day 😊

Appreciate the many examples of uses!

I am loving the pivot plan for your channel content, blog post, classes and newsletter. Excited & curious. The give away is very generous (crossing fingers). Did I see a new video of French ephemera? I'm already drooling. Cheers!

Wonderful treasures! I just love all that religious stuff. ♥

I really enjoyed watching your journal! Thank you for the armchair trip. :)

For me, it looks like pretty antique floral dresses that you could make for dolls, even if they’re paper dolls the colors are so eye catching. The food and floral ones we would make beautiful dresses off-white paper was just words it may be be the under slip petticoat

It's also great for papier-mache. Makes a strong bond between papers and, as a bonus, it doesn't dry your hands like wheat flour paste does. On the 2nd day, it can be a bit lumpy. But strir it up with an immersion blender, and it smoothes out beautifully.

I love your method for altering books. I did try making one, and was very happy with the result. Thanks, for being so encouraging, and sharing your talent.

What a lovely video. I learned so much. What treasures truly😊❤
