    What a great project. It turned out so well. I had forgotten about Nick Bantock but love his work. Thank you!

    Wow what a beautiful journey you took us on. I’m so impressed with the the way you used Dinas paints of today to make your embellishments look old. Incredible! The way you cut out and flipped the post cards... to ripping and stamping you did a marvelous job. I wish I had your stash! I love the sentimentality of it all. Thank you for inspiring us. Xx 😚

    More mail art postcards, please! These are a great homage to Nick Bantock’s books. Love your faux postage stamps, all the layering, color choices, and brave use of original vintage materials. Did you ever consider photocopying/scanning the originals and cutting up the duplicates?

    I cannot tell you at some point in my life how important Nick Bantock and Griffin & Sabine & his book The Artful Dodger were to me. I had all the cards & all the stamps & all the books. My husband was killed in 9/11 in NYC & I relocated to Alabama to escape the busy-ness of the city. I am so incredibly glad I found these videos of yours. ❤️🌺❤️

      Niamh Baly i meant to also say & forgot because I was so moved by your videos that I lost all my Nick Bantock inks, stamps, & books that my husband had gifted me throughout our marriage. We were only married 15 years & he was 48 when he was killed. I am so inspired to learn enough about collage from you & your videos to be able to do an “inspired by Niamh & Nick Bantock” tribute to Lee page or pages. I feel so connected now that I saw your videos. Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful process & results.

    Hi Niamh, I recently came across the work of Nick Bantock through the videos of Robyn McClendon who is doing a number of mail art projects on Patreon and when searching for him I stumbled across your 3 videos. It's good to have other takes on the mail art. I really like what you are doing here and have learned lots from watching your videos. I have subscribed so I can follow what you are doing now. Thanks for sharing. xoxo

    Hello again Niamh, THANK YOU so much for replying to my comment, It means a lot that you found time to do this. I have just watched the second and last in your series of three Postage inspired by Nick Bantock art, themed videos and love, love love them all sooooo much. THANK YOU too for introducing me to Nick's amazing work, I have just ordered two of his books from french amazon so will be looking forward to them arriving later this week.
    I am hoping to make some time today, or later in the week to have a go at making some faux postage stamps too.
    I love creating Mail Art envelopes and have in the past joined in with a few swaps which were such fun to do. I still have a number of envelopes that can be used for swaps so will look into seeing if there are any Mail Art swaps going on, if not I may just mail them to myself so that they have real cancellation postage marks on them then I can use them in my art. LOL
    Warmest best wishes from France,
    Su

    Too Cool!!! I love how you put it all together. I stumbled on your channel while looking at another video. Boy I'm so glad that I decided to watch. That was the making faux stamp video, which I believe is the second video of this series. So much information and a heep of INSPIRATION. I really enjoyed this series. Your tutorials are awesome! I've ENJOYED spending my Saturday morning with you........ Stay Blessed!

    Wow - don't even know where to start! I've had Griffin and Sabine for a really long time and have always been drawn to this kind of collage work. You've done this at such the right time for me - I too have lots of "precious" ephemera that needs to come out and have a home and now you've inspired me to make it happen! Such lovely ideas - wonderful execution - thank you SO MUCH for sharing this process! Ideas are spinning in my head.....

    • @NiamhBaly
      @NiamhBaly  6 лет назад

      Yay- I'm so glad!!! Yes using that ephemera is so hard - but now I have actually used some of it - I'm much more prepared to use more. Please, if you do create something -I would love to see it. Enjoy x

      It's just a start - but here is the back of a postcard I prepared for my travel journal - it flips back to the front which is the 24 hour clock from Greenwich - but you inspired me to take time to play with my tip ins and not just throw down photos!!! Hm - can't seem to place a photo here -

    I have all the Griffin and Sabine books they are so beautiful! Your journal is amazing!! I am going to try to make some of the faux stamps. You mentioned letter writing as a lost art. I agree 100% although recently I signed up with letter writers alliance or LWA.com. It’s a legit pen pal site and so far I have accumulated 8 pen pals since January! It’s been so much fun getting to know new friends and writing and receiving letters in the post.
