Just because. As the Japanese Proverb says, 'One kind word can warm three winter months.' May your day be filled with joy, positivity, and warmth. Namaste.🐞💙🐞
As I watched this video I had an interesting idea to build a glue book just as you are (on one side) then turn the book around and build onto the other side of the book upside down (for an entirely different perspective). Sort of Yin & Yang!
Thanks so much Dear Karla❤ A Happy New Year To You Too🎉 There's no point... As someone said in the comments its to save our sanity! It just makes us forget the crappy moments of life😂 ❤ from a long time subscriber ❤
Just Because -- Just Because, IT'S FUN. It doesn't get any better than that. Thanks so much Karla for reminding me, it's okay to have fun once in awhile. God bless you. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
Happy New Year! Your glue books are great. I need to use up the images I've saved for years. Right now the Scavenger Hunt has been fun to work on. Thank you.
I really enjoyed this video because I really enjoy this hobby, which is really about making your own type of art. And like you I want my images ready when I’m ready so I spend time preparing them…but that’s also a relaxing part of the process🌸
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I love the idea of the "white spaces" for a gluebook. I just recently got an old book to use for glue booking and I am definitely inspired, thanks to you, to make it a white space book. It is hard for me because I always strive to cover every bit of white space, this will be so good for me. God Bless you in this New Year. **hugs & love from Cheryl in Maine**....and thank you for serving! I am also an Air Force Viet Nam era veteran. 🇺🇸❤️✂️
I'm new to glue booking and this video was a revelation! It will work much better for me to do loose pages and bind them after gluing up. This will cater much better to my space and time constraints. Handling a book can be a little clunky and loose pages will accommodate my dexterity better. Thank you for sharing your ideas and beautiful creative works.
Interesting to see how your glue booking style has changed over the years in your various glue books. They’re all so inspiring and I’ve learnt so much hearing about your process. I really want to try “random” glue booking as I find I tend to think too much which takes away the fun. Thanks so much for the video!
What's the point??? Here's my take...besides being fun, interesting, and enjoyable, everything on the paper also reflects aspects of our life. The glue books are like a reflection of things that are.
Great video. My favs are the 3 tiered book and the small hand made book with the extra pages you showed us, oh and the book that had a lot of ripped pages. You are very inspiring. Congratulations 👏🎉 9n your publication. How exciting for you 🩷💃🩷💯✅
I just heard you talk about "being miltary." Me too - Air Force. Which service and when? What was your specialty? I have really enjoyed lots of your projects!
What is the point? It feels good, it’s a form of art, it’s a record of our times, of popular culture, of history, geography, recording & commenting on the world around us, anthropology, botany……. I still love your first glue book so much - it’s so uplifting.

Very Interesting Idea. I will think on that!

The point to glue booking is feeling good or better 😀.
Thanks so much Dear Karla❤
A Happy New Year To You Too🎉

I love glue books and the “point” is the process and the end result. Or as you said so acutely…no point. 🤣🤣🤣
I love that three-tiered book. Awesome!
Thanks so much!
The Algebra Book is my all time favorite!
Mine too!! Thanks so much!
Happy New year, thank you for sharing your glue books 📚,there awesome

Beautiful Glue Books!!
Thank You!

So glad you are enjoying the scavenger hunt this year!
BTW Karla, I bought the Art Journaling magazine featuring you. Great article and photos of your art pages. Very impressive. Congrats! ❤
Thank You, it is such an honor!

I agree I like to spend time trimming, sorting, collecting but when it comes to gluing I want to only glue. We all have our own processes!
I like the white spaces! I love the variety in your glue books.
Thanks, it feels right to leave space, glad you agree!
I taped two magazines together at the spines
Painted pasted collage
Still going on this thing!❤
Best way to glue book, paint, try out new mixed media ideas 🩵📚🩷💛📖✂️

I really like the random books, no thinking really makes me happy!

Nicely Put. People like what they like, for whatever reason!

Thanks so much!! interesting to know which books you liked!
Thank you for sharing!! Happy 2025!
Happy New Year, Karla! Sending hugs.
Long time no see! Happy New Year!
While I watching your video, I came across a saying in a book that said, “Time out from tension”. I guess that’s the point. Great books.
Thar is a wonderful phrase! Thanks so much for sharing!

My husband was Navy, Thanks so much

So right!
What kind of book was your first book? Is it a comp book?
I love the 3 tier book. I need to look for the tutorial. 😂
The first glue book was a hard bound blank book. Tutorial for the 3 tier is here - ruclips.net/video/j_p81IobE6A/видео.html
The point could be: to save our sanity.
That really did make me laugh, yes!!
