    This month I collaborated with my patrons to design this astrology journal that reflects my zodiac signs - Capricorn Sun and Cancer Moon. I love how tactile and layered this process was! I'll be using this journal to understand my birth chart and track transits. Let me know what your signs are and what your ideal astrology journal would look like!

    Another excellent "quiet" video! You are so self assured to forego measuring ( pasting decorative paper, creating circular windows, etc. ) and winging it with your practiced eye and hand. The Long Stitch Binding was very interesting and just right for this journal. Eagerly awaiting my copy of your soon to be mailed book! Thanks for a fine video - hope Lucy was performing her usual expert guarding!

    Hey Chanel, I just recently found your channel and wanted to let you know it is very inspirational. I have no experience in book binding what so ever but I believe your channel and new book will help guide me greatly. I also read your about page on your Etsy shop page and that is the same reason I want to learn the craft. Peace and Light.

    Chanel, I pre-ordered your book and can’t wait to receive it…you put so much time and effort into its creation that I just know it’s going to be amazing! My daughter in Hawaii is into astrology so I’m planning to make her an astrology journal, applying my own creative spin and handmade paper that I create. She also loves moon phases so I’ll incorporate that too. I love that you’re so detail oriented and everything you create looks like very high quality. Recently, my husband asked me to find reasonably priced replacement journals (hardbound notebooks) for his custom [military] journal cover that he had made years ago (he works in a secure environment where electronics are not allowed, so he carries a journal/notebook). I wasn’t able to find the right size books so I’m going to make them myself. I now need to find either dot paper or graph paper as that’s what he likes to write on. Btw, do you offer templates and printables? :-)

    Hi there, starting my bookbinding journey and found a lot of this really helpful! I wanted to ask why you chose to long-stitch for the binding vs. doing permanent binding if the journal is going to see a lot of use. Curious for when I make my own journals. Thanks for making this 😁

    If I'm not mistaken, the glue you use is PVA based. I use the same PVA based glue, but it is not as fluid as yours. Do you buy it as a ready-made product or do you increase its fluidity by making some additions yourself?
