Yes! I definitely would love a video on your technique for the spine/board cover. Also, Natalia's illustrations are wonderful! Are you able to put them into a digital kit?
I could watch your amazing work all day.
Thank you Nik for being my best and favorite journal - book maker artist !!! You have inspired me and I am so very grateful 😊💖‼️‼️‼️‼️ I am currently working on completing my first real journal and hope it even looks like something you could had created back when you were maybe 2 or 3 years old !!! If you are ever so inclined to critique the work your admireres create , please let me know right away 👍😀!!!!! Stay safe and well 😊💖
Oohhh, I absolutely love your fabric ❤ That’s the most beautiful Eco dyed piece I’ve ever seen. Girl you are amazing 😍
I’m sure you’ve thought of this but in case you haven’t, you should scan your friend’s drawings into your computer so that you can use copies in your journals and cherish the originals. Love the Jane Austin book and kit! Sorry you and your husband had such a tough week, here’s to better days ahead! Thanks for all you share! ☮️💜
Love you book, and yes yes yes, I’d love to see a video of making that book cover. 😊😊😊
Thanks Nik! Learn so much from your videos. Think we all have those times when it seems that everything pops up all at the same time. It drives me crazy! Love your laidback style, especially after watching other CZcamsrs. I’ve been speeding some up and sometimes muting them to get through! Boy do I really appreciate you jumping right into the subject, not doing “shoutouts”, having annoying music, spotlighting trendy nails, blah blah blah… sorry had to vent🙈 my ADD is rearing it’s ugly head! And you do you…your way when you can. Love ya Nik! Keep up the good work. Thanks!❤😂🤣
So agree!
That's a great tip! Thank you, Nik! 💕 The book is gorgeous, as is all your work! 😍
Always get hyped when you post a vid! Thanks for every vid you post. 🦌💌❤️📚
Love your commentary most of all!!
I love the new kit and the journal you made with it. And this video came just in time to provide me with inspiration for a present for a friend's birthday. She is a big Jane Austen fan. And she loves dragons. So I made her a Jane Austen meets Dragons junk journal. Natalia's illustrations are stunning. 💕💕
Love the book and appreciate the fix for warpage. I needed it!
Warpage happens--and Nik to the rescue! WOW. This kit exceeded my expectations! SO EXCITED to get working with it! 🙂
Thank you so much for inspiring me to make a Jane Austen journal!!! 😍
Lovely journal - and thanks for the tip!
Oh, goodness. I have to do this. Whoa... off to buy!
Very awesome journals and all the digitals, too..................😻
Such a beauty. You always amaze me with your creations. Your friend's portraits are WOW. I agree she is most talented. I'd hesitate using them as well.
Thanks for all the tips! 🌸
Oh my, Nik! I love this! Jane Austen is one of my favorite authors! It is good to see you create a book again! Tell your friend she's very talented and should make some digi's of her drawings!
Just found you and subscribed I absolutely love what you do, I’ve been and purchased the Jane Austen printables I can’t wait to get creative… thank you … I love you styles and techniques x
When the game show Jeopardy starts recognizing amazing artists that teach on the internet, I will get this double Jeopardy question correct:" I wouldn't be me if I didn't print something upside down." Answer: Who is Nik the Book Smith? And Cheryl Parish will be heading to final Jeopardy! Love your videos! Inspiring, magical, informative, sometimes silly, but who doesn't love silly? Thanks for sharing the smallest of snippets with us. It always makes me smile!
😂❤
Thanks for the giggle, I needed that! 😄
OMG Nik, I love you, you are so hilarious. But I do understand, I'm responsible for mine and my dads doctors and dentist and its crazy. So Bless you!!!
Stunning journal and kit. Blessings.
Looks cute! Thanks for the tips. Super cool cover.
We all have THOSE weeks 😁
Dickens is the same way... I’ve read the first chapter of the Christmas Carol at least 5 times over the years😂 I even tried starting in the middle of the book. 😏 They were written back when reading around a fire was all they had for relaxation and entertainment and they needed those few books they had to last a good long time 🔥 IMO
Thanks again, Nik 💝
Funny, I can read Dickens all day but the flowery on and on love stories like Jane Austen put me to sleep. There's something for everyone. Try a different Dickens like Oliver Twist.
I have been waiting for a new book!! Yay! I love all of your work!
Got in from work, threw some towels in the washing machine, made a coffee and there was your video 🥳
Thanks for useful tip on warped covers! Very helpful.
I have been thinking about a Jane Austin journal for a while. Thanks.
Can totally relate to all the appointments as I also have that and my hubby was just diagnosed with Prostate Cancer ( the doctor thinks he can get it all through surgery as it’s all located in his prostate) . So a waiting game for the date.
Fun times.
Take care.
oh no....I am so sorry to hear that. What a roller coaster for you! I hope your hubby is doing okay, that's a scary diagnosis to get even in the best of circumstances. Big hugs and lots of love to you both ❤️
@@NiktheBooksmith thanks Nik. It’s the waiting that’s the hardest part.
Thank you! I can't wait to start working with these digitals! 🥰
Great info on the warped spine. Thanks Nik. Great journal. ❤
Fabulous! Love Natalia's beautiful ink drawings.❤
oh yes lol i absolutely love this journal - and thank you for all of your info Nik and i need to go look at your kits - be well xx
It’s a beautiful journal ❤
THANK YOU!!👍🌞❤️
Those darn spitting Gremlins! 😅
I would love that too. That’s a great looking book. Thank you for your expertise and generosity.
"...like a good little sandwich." 😂 I love watching your videos because I laugh while I learn! Thank you!💖
That Jane Austen kit!! 🤩How beautiful is that! And, the book you made is fab as usual. 😊
Thanks for the freebies!! Love your patreon.
Everything you make is so amazing!!! TFS Austin TX USA
Love what you have created here, I really thought you had a real old book! Love your beautiful kit, gorgeous! Thank you ❤
Beautiful! When is the next crime chat?!?!
Soooooooon... Right now, there is some very noisy work being done on the house, so I won't be able to record anything for a bit. Hopefully, it will all be done by the end of the week.
Lovely!❤
Thanks for the warp tip!! Definitely a beautiful journal. I feel the same about her writing. Hugs 🤗❤️
Oh yes please show us how you made this. Thank you! Blessings
Thank you Nik, love everything Jane Austen and your journal is beautiful. Yes please to a video on how you made this book cover.
Good looking journal. And real good advise for getting a cover to lay flat. Carol from California
This concept is useful. It's festival season, oh wait, it's concert season, and of course it's always birding season. So many ideas for themed books and never enough time. And now I've looked into the rabbit hole and you nudged me over the edge into watching or rewatch four more of your videos.They are way more entertaining and informational than anything on TV. Thank you for this!
Thank you, I appreciate that very much!
Thanks for the warp-fix info! I would like to see your spine with cardboard method. The journal feels very Jane Austin!
Very lovely ❤❤
Okay, then. I did read Emma in May. Emma consists mainly of upper crusty people visiting each other and then gossiping about people not in the room. I also read the Scarlet Letter as delayed penance for reading only the Cliffs Notes for HS English Literature. That book is crazy [crazy] for contemporary kids. There are way too many issues and undercurrents for young readers to digest. I hardly knew how sex worked back in the sixties. Well, thanks for all the helpful hints. That’s why I still watch after all these years.🤪
Yassssss jane Austin digi!
Yep. I hate it when life gets crazy. Awesome videos
You so fuhnee!😂 Wow you got me! At first sight I thought it was a real vintage book cover! I love Jane Austin from way back in my young years when I had time to read!
Yes I know Austen. Auto correct!🫶🏼
Hi Nik, I did not have this problembjet but as I do use wet glue sometimes it can easily happen so i'm very happy that you showed us how to solve this issue. 😊 Love the cover and the eco-dyed fabric. My own eco-dyed farns don't cone out as clear/sharp as yours so I'm wondering how you do that. Byebye, keep up the good work and thank you so much. ❤
I have a desk jet printer, so I couldn't do that without ruining the ink...haven't tried it to be honest. I always make sure my covers are straightened out before I bind them and use double-sided tape never glue. So far so good lol. If I had a laser printer perhaps I wouldn't be so nervous about doing it after I bounded it.Thanks for the cool video! 💕
CliffNotes are available for Jane Ausren’s books.
Paused to comment at beginning of video. Yes, please do a video about this type cover. Your work is unparalleled, plus I love your personality:).
One gal's Poe is another gal's Austen lol! Beautiful kit!
Indeed. Thank you =)
Hello from Beautiful British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
Jane kinda does snark...
I didn't realize Northanger Abbey was spoofing on the gothic romance/novel🎉
Love this, I agree with you about Jane Austin. A bit too wordy for me. It shouldn’t take more than 2 sentences to describe a tree ( in my opinion). Lol. Have a great weekend.
Hi nik I get what you are saying
You might enjoy the book "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" :)
Hi Suzi! I have it and I did enjoy it Lol ;)
Great stuff. I would have ripped the book open because I don't have the kind of patience you have. Ironically, you say you don't have the patience to read. I read all her work over again every six years, which is how long it takes for me to forget the details. lol. xxx
Lol 6 years later...Jane Austen? Never met her.
@@NiktheBooksmith You're cute, Nik. Love ya!!!!
❤❤❤
❤
Thanks so much, Nik! Is there anyway that the warping could be preemptively solved by placing the covers under something fairly heavy before assembling the book?
Sadly, this won't solve the issue. If there is warp in the boards, it will just happen once you remove the weight. =/ Great question, thanks for asking!
@@NiktheBooksmith thanks Nik! Thanks for showing the damp paper towel solution. A similar tactic works to straighten out warped watercolor paper 🤠
Nikkkkk it’s been so long!! Hope you’re doing good!! I was wondering if you are still selling some books? And/or if you’re taking custom orders still??
Truly hope I hear back from you again soon! 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
They come in graphic novels
Could you please send me a link to the little metal clips you used in this video? I think they are as cute as can be!!!
Thanks for all your creative and inspiring videos. ❤
hi Sharon! Those are called index clips and I have not been able to find any in stock for a long time, unfortunately. =/
thank you so much anyway for the reply. I so enjoy you and your videos. I feel we are a lot alike in humor and autoimmune diseases. Where you have Lupus, I have RA. Best of health to you and God Bless.@@NiktheBooksmith
Nik, have you seen DAS fix warped boards. Looks like it works. Not quick, but what is?
Good morning, Susan! If its one he did a couple years ago, I'm sure I did. Although, I couldn't tell you exactly what it was he did...I will def give that a rewatch. He's brilliant.
@@NiktheBooksmith , he sprayed one side with water. It bowed a lot. Let it dry. Sprayed the other side, it bowed back to straighten itself. I was pretty impressed. Lol
🌼🌼🐦🐦🐦🎀🎀🎀📃📃📃
I am sory, but I feel like I looked at nothing for almost half an hour. A Jane Austen read gives more satisfaction.
Soooo . . . not as refreshing as a turn about the room then?
❤❤❤
