    FANTASTIC! What size was your watercolor paper to begin with? You ended up with a very nice sized sketchbook. Thanks for your talent, time and effort in making videos to share.

    • @debbiemackinnon7202
      @debbiemackinnon7202  3 года назад +2

      it was a full sized A1 piece of mixed media paper. Appreciate your kind and generous comment Finley, thank you

  • @user-ve9rq8jz5l

    After you've folded your book, do you glue the 3 loose pages together or do you cut pages and then glue? Love your inspiring videos!

    • @debbiemackinnon7202
      @debbiemackinnon7202  Год назад

      Hi Paul, glad you enjoyed this. I do glue to extra 3 pages together. But sometimes I split the book at the back and join with tape. Both options have advantages…
      Have fun

    Great demonstration. Thank you. What paper did you use?

    • @debbiemackinnon7202
      @debbiemackinnon7202  3 года назад +1

      hi Eva its a smooth hot press mixed media paper. I prefer smooth paper rather than textured but its a personal choice, this is 200 gsm, I find heavier paper hard to fold.

  • @ruthinmanart4063
    @ruthinmanart4063 3 года назад

    FAB for sure!! Do you then glue the parts that are folded so they become one 'page'? Can it open the reverse way round? thank you... finally a method without Glueing and losing 1/2" each time...

    • @debbiemackinnon7202
      @debbiemackinnon7202  3 года назад

      once all folded up I work on it and then split and rejoin each set of 4 pages at the back with brown paper tape. No glue involved.

    @pie4707 4 года назад +2

    If you dont have that big sheet how many a4 sheets of paper should you tape it up to be in comparison

    • @debbiemackinnon7202
      @debbiemackinnon7202  3 года назад

      Just join as many sheets of A4 as you need. Fold each one in half to create a double page spread.

    Is that water colour a mix of paint and water or is it real water colour

    • @debbiemackinnon7202
      @debbiemackinnon7202  3 года назад

      It’s watercolour from a tube mixed with water. Not sure what you mean by ‘real’. It’s artist quality paint from Daniel Smith.

    Debbie, What kind of paper were you using to make your concertina?

    • @debbiemackinnon7202
      @debbiemackinnon7202  3 года назад

      Hi it’s a full sheet of 200 gsm mixed media paper- I find a heavier paper gets hard to fold accurately

      Do you mean in a way that you couldn't figure out what she's doing? It's clear in my view.
