how-to: 16 page journal


video
we did it!  we only bought a video camera 3 years ago to make videos on how we do stuff and finally just jumped in and did it....(I hope).  I'm posting this to see if it works and isn't too big, etc.

Bravo Teesha, it's like our own mini Teesha class!!

Sabii Wabii said...

For your first video you did great! The directions were very clear. I like how you only showed the supplies and your hands...it was not distracting at all. I love that you had black sleeves on. No other distrations on the table top. Very thorough. Thank you for posting it!

Fabulous video and straightforward technique. Thank you for sharing this!

Oh you are a goddess! That is the best, most straightforward bookmaking video I have ever seen! Like I've seen a lot of those??? You get my drift... Easy peasy and no fuss. So many books are so confusing.

Ok when is the NEXT video??? Can't wait!!!

I plan on going to Journalfest next year! My friend Orly Avineri taught at this years! I so wanted to go... but I digress.... Thank you! Thank you!

Love the video Teesha! Can't wait for the next one. The journal looks fun to make, and I just might try it!
I just wish I could make the video full screen, but I can't find a way to do that!

Tina said...

Great video! I especially loved the little tips, like which direction to pull the thread. I'm a novice bookmaker and didn't know why sometimes I'd tear the thread. Thanks a bunch!

Lani Gerity said...

Oh excellent! Can't wait for the next one!

LUCIOUS MAXIMUS said...

Great Video! This is perfect for a project I want to do on a vacation we took. Thank you so much Teesha!

Jan said...

Thank you for the video tutorial. It played perfectly on my computer and I don't have the fastest speed available. No skips or hesitations. Very easy to follow. I'm going to find some paper right now and make one even though it won't be the paper you recommend. When is the next vid? Is it here yet? (just kidding, being like a kid on a long drive. are we there yet?)Thank you for your generous sharing.

aka suska said...

Luscious! I am off to make one so that I'll be ready for the painting by tomorrow...you will have that ready by then, right? Sorry, I know you are amazing...but you are allowed to take tomorrow off and rest up. You did a great job. Thanks a tonne (I'm Canadian we have bigger tonnes.) :)

LØB said...

Good one! Keep making how-to videos!

Connie Lutz said...

The video turned out great! What a clever idea - and one that can be adapted to other paper sizes. Thanks, Teesha!

gina armfield said...

thank you teesha for the great demo video - can't wait for the next one. Had such a great time at Journalfest and can't wait to be a part of Artfest!

Denise said...

Thanks for the wonderful tutorial, Teesha. I just knew I was keeping that last piece of Fabriano for something special!

Rhomany said...

YES! Finally Teesha does videos. You don't know how long I have waited for this. I just wish the video would go full screen. It doesn't seem to want to in my browser, which is a shame, my eyesite isn't quite good enough for videos that small. I'll have to try a couple other browsers and see if that helps.

jane eileen said...

Wow! Can't wait to see what happens next. Thank you.

prinsing said...

SPOT ON INSTRUCTIONS!!! I screw everything up (trust me on this) and I did NOT screw this up!! Woo hoo!!!!

Julie Fillo said...

Wow, that was great Teesha, thanks!

Theresa Lili said...

Found your blog from a link from Lani Puppetmaker, great job teaching us how to make a 16 page journal. Very clever. Thank you for sharing.

reenie said...

Teesha!
You are such a rock star!

Are you going to start offering online classes too? I am sure everyone would LOVE to pay to take a class from you....
areya areya? huh? huh?

passingwindows said...

The video is great, thank you so much. I'm a longtime fan and I've had your printed instructions for years but I've been a bit intimidated about starting. This looks like an easy project and I'm off right now to try it!

Lynn said...

Thank you so much, you made it look so easy. I'm looking forward to your next video!

gale said...

Hi Tesha,

Hugely resourceful! Thanks Teesha.

Mandy said...

Dear Teesha,

Your videos are absolutely inspiring. I'm an art journal teacher from the Netherlands and am constantly pointing our your work to my students as being highly original and creative. I had a go at your techniques a few times...and it did leave its traces in my work, I think.

Your 16-page journal is a fab idea! And at the risk of sounding pompous, I wonder why I didn't think of it myself. I've been making books ever since I was 5 years old. But for my Art Journals I've always sought expensive good quality books, or I bound complicated journals. But sometimes I was left with the desire to make a thinner, theme-related jorunal...well, this is THE best idea ever. And I love the flaps!!! I can't wait to write my own blurb on the front flap and some quirky info about myself on the rear flap!!!

So, thanks a lot for sharing your wonderful ideas with us!

Best regards, Mandy

PaulineC said...

Thanks so much. I must see if I can get that paper here in the UK. Your journals look absolutely fabulous. I am so looking forward to having a go at making one.

Kim Rae Nugent said...

Thank you for sharing! I just made my first journal using fabriano paper. I'm anxious to see how I like it.

sherry ♥ lee said...

This was JUST what I've been looking for!! I'm so glad that someone pointed me in your direction. Great video, excellent instruction...you rock!

"Hands to Work, Hearts to God" said...

Thank you for sharing! I can't join any one of your workshops soon as I am in the Philippines but technology is a great gift to us! I love your work and I've shown it to many people here in the Philippines as an example of "You can do ANYTHING!"

Liz O. said...

I'm an idiot. Just starting out on the journal adventure and would like to get a good start. What brand of paper do you use? I know you said no to Arches but didn't catch what you do use.

Thanks so much. I am looking forward to the lettering video.

Lorrie Grainger Abdo said...

Nicely done. I'll be watching the additional videos too. You mention waxed polyester thread as preferred to waxed linen. Can you tell me/us why you have this preference?

Shelley Malone said...

WOW! Thanks for so generously sharing this with everyone. As you can see, you're in high demand! I'm so excited... I went and bought the paper and tonight I'm going to make myself a journal. And if you were here, I'd kiss you on the lips. Lucky for you you're not here!

Karen said...

Teesha - Thank you so much for sharing with us!

Dawn said...

teesha! ever since I saw this video, I KNEW I had to try it. I finally did tonight. Easy, fun and beautiful. I made a few mistakes, but its all part of the fun, right? Great video series!

Kristi said...

You are so talented, so inspiring and so generous! THANK YOU for being YOU!

Joy said...

Teesha,

Thank you for so generously sharing your skill and your heart.

I made an amazing 16 page book, and am thinking of a lot of people I can share this with.
