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!

That’s such an amazing piece of artwork, I’d be afraid to write in it.😂
That's how I feel about all of Chanel's books. I like to do pen and ink sketching, but actually laying pen to her creations is scary!
Ok but the detail with the constellations along the spine is the cutest thing ever
Good morning from Perth, Australia (it's 4.18am here right now). Just wanted to convey my gratitude for your content. As a part of my mindfulness, I watch your content. You're brilliant!
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!
those end papers are STUNNING!!!!!
Hi chanel , i learned from you book binding and i start my small business and now I'm doing classes to other people to learn book binding thank you ❤️
every time I see one of your videos I'm shocked to be reminded that you don't have millions of followers (yet!). the production quality is so good, these videos are so aesthetically pleasing, and your craftsmanship skills and all the books you make are to die for. lovelyyyy video and book as always!!
From Australia, 7.08 am. Beautiful work. 😊thanks
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.

The front and back covers are so creative and satisfying! Thanks for the nice video!
love how it came out! I would recommend using a shorter boxcutter blade if you want to get even more precise cuts
She is a professional lols. She has it covered. 😊
Beautiful journal in my favourite colours 💙🦀🐐 and I love the texture of the thread for the long stitches... What is it? I've been thinking of making a sun/moon/rising sign journal as a thank you gift for someone... Might just take up embroidery to embellish the cover. Thanks for the inspiration 😊
I'm mesmerized with your art!!!
Absolutely stunning!!
this is so relaxing, loved it ❤❤❤
I can't wait to watch the Patreon version and hear how you made this beauty! My papers came in today and they're glorious, I'm so happy!
So fun! Beautiful work as always!! ❤
sooo beautiful!! thaks for share
It's already a wonderful (and relaxing) video to watch, but the editing style also adds so much. The book is beautiful and inspiring, too.
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? :-)
Wow - I feel like I haven't been watching you all that long but your skill and creativity have increased so much! Congratulations and keep it coming! :) Such lovely craftsmanship.
Wonderful. Respect for your work😊
Your beautiful works make me happy and excited. Thank you for sharing a good video.Merry Christmas!!
Gorgeous!
Wow!!! You have an amazing studio. Very nice, I’m impressed with your creativity and talent 👍
it's so gorgeous! I really feel like the book could benefit with gold metal corner protectors to save the sharpness of them should you travel but otherwise this book is incredible
Amazing work❤
So beautiful!❤❤
Stunning ❤
Thats a nice way to sew the pages, no endbands, using half of guard pages, no reinforcing the spine with more paper. It's great! I wonder what kind of thread you used.
Oh my gosh this is gorgeoussss!!! I hope this can go up on sale sometime
Don’t care for the astrology, but love the process. ❤
I just received my " Handmade books at home" in the mail. This book is beyond belief!!! Chanel, you did an 👏 amazing job!!! Anybody reading this post please do yourself a favor and purchase this book, it not only explains in detail on how to make every type of book, and as a huge bonus it has gorgeous and detailed step by step colored pictures. ❤love ❤love❤ love this book. Thank you for writing it! ❤~Gina ~❤
Absolutely beautiful
Замечательная работа! Я в восхищении!!!
Your work is sooooo beautiful 🤍🤍
Beautiful ❤❤
I just found your channel and it resparked the passion and interest for bookbinding. Honestly, been binge watching your videos to regain that knowledge.. Your creations are seriously impressive.
I am curious, how would you go about a board book (like for a baby or child)?
You inspired me to start ASMR videos 🥰❤️❤️
Cancer journal! 😍 ♋🦀!👏🏽✨
Great.... now i want a personal laser cutter !!
Muy bonito proyecto. Felicitaciones
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 😁
Are you a capricorn sun & cancer moon? If so that's incredibly well balanced, would explain your absolute serene energy 💜💜 What a lovely and precise project 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I am! Sometimes they feel like opposite energies too.
@@bittermelonbindery That's because they are. Polar opposites, that create a wonderful balance ☺️
I love it except for the brown ribbon. Thank you for sharing your process and work with us 💛
Este es mi canal favorito ❤
lovely
is that a metal 1cm rule you use to mark along the spine? if so where did you get it? i made something similar out of binders board but i would love to have a metal one!
Could you tell me why you print your pages with dots?
I noticed this paper has a dot grid on it so I wasn't sure if this was the same watercolor paper you use in the other journals you make or something else. If it is a different paper could you tell me what kind it is?
Anybody know what the stuff they iron into the cloth spine is? Interested in learning 🥰
Maravellous☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
I am journaling
I admire you. 😢🙋🇨🇦💯💚maybe I can have one for my birthdate one day. Taurus.😊 Not sure prices and feel tacky even enquiring. I did check your sites but no prices were available. Even an estimate would suffice. Ty. ✌️💚😁
Our signs are swapped! I'm a Cancer Sun and Capricorn Moon 😄. This turned out so nice! What material is your boning tool made from?
Sorry, I’m jumping in. I thought I had seen or heard it mentioned that it’s agate.
@@DebKiwi Oh that's a cool material! Thanks for letting me know, I must have missed it
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?
Do you offer classes? Online or in person
