    Thanks so much helen, I'm going to try and make this later. I have all this scrap and I'm just pissing money away on buying new sketchbooks that I never finish- hopefully this will inspire me and I'll be sketching away in no time!
    Very grateful for this tutorial, I usually get lost on all the steps on others but you explained it perfectly. Thank you, have a lovely day! 🥰🥰🥰

    @alkhemiegypt 9 месяцев назад

    Such a great way of using old, unwanted work. And this method avoids the problem o starting with a clean page - there are already marks that can be used as a springboard to inspire the new piece. 😀

    • @HelenWellsArtist
      @HelenWellsArtist  8 месяцев назад

      Yes exactly! No daunting clean white page…xxx

    THANK YOU.....I JUST LOVE YOUR ENERGY....hoping you will get me crafting....I'm a newbie at most things but when I'm creating/making I have a lovely happy kind mind.....I like the look of the little mini one as I haven't the large paper.....somehow I've also lost your recent email videos being inky and messy.

    • @HelenWellsArtist

      Yes you could definitely use this for collage…it’s perfect for that. Here I’m using academia/student paper from Fabriano I think it was 160gsm x

    @violettahaven3706 9 месяцев назад

    A few years ago, you posted another video on how to make a sketchbook using a different method. While I found that method a bit more complicated (my feeble brain LOL), I really like the final book better. Which way is your favorite?

    • @HelenWellsArtist
      @HelenWellsArtist  9 месяцев назад +1

      It really depends on what I’m using to make the sketchbook… this one is great for large pieces of paper and creates more pages…the other one which is here ruclips.net/video/U5Qp_T48EnI/видео.htmlsi=ecNy2XNT0fYVqlYD is good for any size paper. I probably the original more often…I actually find it quicker as it’s only one cut…but it creates a sketchbook with half the number of pages. Xx
