"Cottagecore" seems to be a cousin to "hygge." If hygge = winter cozy, then cottagecore = spring cozy. (Yes I know hygge in particular isn't *only* for winter. I'm speaking of the aesthetic which comes to mind first)
LOL I have lived in one of the most isolated parts of the UK living this type of life - it's fabulous. But REALLY hard work! Chopping wood, bringing in coal, cleaning fires, insects all over the windows, wild weather, trying to rescue birds and bats from inside the house, melting snow for water because the water supply has frozen in the winter, being at the end of the line for repairs when the power fails (the longest was five days after being a storm one freezing winter - I had to work by candlelight), waking up to it being -20 in the kitchen and having to put things in the fridge to warm them up! But to make up for it there are the flowing dresses, wellies, home baking, and sketching wildflowers. Lovely.
Hi to my absolute favorite book binding master! I would love to see more tutorials on garden journals or nature journals. Journals where you can add and remove signatures , have a simple pocket and a little inconspicuous tab to hold a pencil.
I love the feel of this aesthetic!!! I can see why I can't find yeast in the grocery store now!! Everyone is home baking bread!! But through all of this quarantining, I think if we look and can find a new way of living. A life that doesn't require many trips to the grocery store and now people seem to be picking up on more fresh fruit and vegetables now walking the dog with their partners or children is now an enjoyable act. There are no deadlines to meet or places to rush off to.
I used to live this aesthetic every summer as a kid when I visited my grandpa up in Grand Marais. My parents stayed at their house but my grandpa, his wife, and I would stay at his cabin in the woods. As a kid, I don't think I took advantage of it as much as I should have. But I fondly remember these memories.
I totally love the idea of you exploring an aesthetic and making something that fits that aesthetic! 😍😍😍 Would love to see what cottagegore is all about! And desertcore! Where did all these cores come from? Cottagecore doodle challenge anyone? Feeling so inspired right now... ❤❤❤👏👏👏
Thank you for sharing this with us -- the little vignette of the whimsy that fuels your souls is refreshing and invigorating. Every time I sit down to my journal, I think of you, because this is the third journal I've made since I stumbled on your bookmaking guides. Thanks for sharing your creative light in the world. We need more brightness, all around, and you're adding it with the beauty you share on this channel.
Oh, I'd love to see a video where you explore the art deco or art nouveau style in book binding. Old and new book covers in those styles are just gorgeous! All though I think that art nouveau would be closer to your own style. BTW, I loved the b-roll in this video. Edit: I just realized that you already did a video about art deco. ^^;
Beautiful Every time you make a book I’m like ok my turn. I have fallen in love with book binding. Thank you so much for all you do to inspire creativity. 😊💕
I loved this video, thank you for sharing your wonderful creation... I live in a little village in Surrey England and fortunately there's alot of greenery around us, we live next to a canal which is beautiful to walk along and see new things during each season, but due to covid and my health conditions I'm limited to staying home, but my garden is a little overgrown so it's starting to look very meadowy and we have lots of wild birds that come to our feeders every day, including our wise old resident owl, I spend alot of time sketching and I would really like to make myself a sketch/journal type book, so I'm definitely feeling inspired by your video... Take care & stay safe my lovely... 💫😷🦉🍄🦔😷💫
Super impressed with the handmade paper after folding. I was nervous watching you but it held up! Saw a post the other day about cricut hacks from the dollarstore but the whole time I was thinking, I bet Jennifer could do this better. Love your stuff!
I would never have thought that things like "frogcore", "honeycore" exist. I mean it's just little things that build aesthetic preferences? Is it safe to say that I can take, say, succulents and make up "succulentcore"? Also, a dumb question, how different is "-core" from "-punk"? Both have a meaning of something aesthetic to me. Those are sincere questions and I in no way mean to be rude, I just feel like I'm missing a lot of information D:
@@findingagain true but it along with cyberpunk are the originators of the usage of punk as a suffix as far as I am aware. Both have strong aesthetics so they make good counter examples to your supposition. Bardcore also comes to mind as a "-core" with weak aesthetics beyond the music.
Actually this is such a good idea. I've been having a hard time deciding how to store my sticker sheets and since coming across Sea Lemon's disc binding videos, I've wanted to try it out, so instead of binding the sheets together with thread I would probably use discs. That way, I can add and remove the sheets as I please!
i remember first finding and loving your channel when i was 14 🥺i'm 20 now and getting into bookbinding again and i'm so happy to come across your channel again
Same. It's cringey as well as kind of a lazy title. All they did was add "core" to the end of it. And it doesn't really suit the laid back aesthetic since -core gets its roots from "hardcore" in these aesthetic-naming instances
I may never get into this type of crafting, I am a carpenter by trade but disabled. However I love watching your videos as they are so very calming and you are very disarming and pretty to watch.
History does repeat itself. In the mid 19th century, the Bohemian lifestyle came into fashion. This lifestyle is to embrace a life full of simplicity and a life without the stress that comes with material possessions. The unconventional way is expressing themselves through their art, food and style.
Desertcore! 🤣 Is that a thing? If not, you should totally start it, hahaha. I love the idea of a more slowpaced world, to be honest, I'm just not sure about the rural vibes of cottagecore. It looks great, but by the second week of having to do everything on my own, I'd give up on it, for sure. I'm very much a city girl. But your journal turned out beautiful! Kudos!!
Aw, cottage core kinda feels like me and some cool rural areas I've stayed at like when working at farms. This was so fun how you dove into it and explored it with your art. Love the look. It'd be fun to see you explore other art movements and -cores like comments below suggest!
Hi Jennifer. Would you consider doing some more Japanese bookbinding methods? I was also so thrilled to see my name scroll up the screen as one of your patrons. I actually took a screen shot and showed absolutely everyone! I really enjoy your channel, especially the bookbinding tutorials and find your voice very soothing. I binge-watched all your book binding tutorials yesterday while making some Belgian bound books. Thank you for well thought out content and easy to follow tutorials.
I was about to go to sleep but then I saw your video on my notification and I quickly tap to watch your video😆✨💓 I love your cottage core inspired notebook! And say hello to Kona for me🥰✨
As a former homeschooler who always had homemade bread, fresh veg from the garden, and chickens, i remember when this was just called "sheltered homeschooler" But seriously, I'm not bitter, I'm glad that other people are discovering the beauty of these simple pleasures.
@@bgreen6991 thanks for the solidarity! Congrats on homeschooling, too! It's no easy task. I'm very glad I was homeschooled, even if there are a few people out there with closed minds. Tell your daughter to keep it up!
I really like your journals and l love the art work you did on your pages. I am new to your channel, bit l will now be a follower. Thank you for sh sharing your knowledge and creativity. ❤🌹🙂
I love that journal! Where did you find the leather? What do you do with all the projects after you've made/used them--aren't you overrun with binding projects? ha ha.
I realize these are not good places to look if you're social distancing but: fabric stores usually having a faux leather section. I grabbed a maroon colored one with a velvet backing ages ago that I've meant to sew into a messenger bag, but I might end up making books instead. Another place to look would be thrift stores as they usually have some faux leather jackets/pants/skirts/whathaveyou and it's a cheap, sustainable way of reusing already existing materials.
I'm goblincore :) I love frogs, mushrooms, moss, nature in general! Another super cool aesthetic I think you should do is 'Naturalist Academia" which is kinda like goblincore
Cottage Core, my friends, is a repeat of my life in the 60's.... living mauka (in the hills) of Big Island Hawaii..... very little is new, maybe nothing, but definitely, my life was Cottage Core before it was "a thing" w a name.
I love this journal; it has some travelers notebook Vibes but somehow more organic. I don't think it would be bad to hear Kona in the background. 🐕💕 Although, I don't think I've ever heard of Desertcore with construction features as an aesthetic. Maybe a Sea Lemon in the desert could make it happen🌵🌊🍋🏜️
First time I heard the term was in Animal Crossing game on the Switch. I often imagine a life in country side in small cottage surrounded by fields and trees. A garden filled with vegetables and fairy lights. I have grown in area with woodlands and fields. Sometimes I can see rabbits. The term maybe closed related with Zakka and fresh linen. I'm into the gothic romance magical forest but my themes tend to change depending on my moods.
This is fascinating. I mean of course it has a name! I just didn't know what that was. lol I live in WA state and have trail heads across the street to my house. It's nothing over the top. While you can go deep enough to escape the visual assault of suburbia, you can still smell your neighbor's dryer sheets. lol But there are two comfy green Adirondack chairs in a small opening (still in the woods) and if you go and sit quietly long enough the birds will come back out. I'm currently obsessed with Wood Peckers. Pileated, Sap Suckers and Northern Flickers. The Sap Suckers are obnoxious. lol I never fancied myself a birder. But it's become quite fascinating. You mention you live in a desert area. That would be amazing to observe! No giant nasty slugs! lol I don't want to know the trade off for that. lol
Love your delve into cottagecore. Could u please make one using the Dark Academia anesthetic for those of us who love that? 🙏🙏I think you'd like it too!
hi, i live in Brazil and i'm learning to make notebooks to earn my money, pity the difference is quite big, my most expensive notebook would be approximately 9 dollars.
I'm not sure if it qualifies as cottage core, but I make my own pickles, ferments, cheese, bread and I also dehydrate foods, plus we have our own mini fruit orchard and some veggies, all while living in the suburbs. (ETA: I love your note book)

This is so interesting! I want to see more different types of "core" astettics Like for a video on Fairycore!
I think it would be pretty much the same because they correlate with each other so heavily lmao
*aesthetic
Another asethetic could be darkcore
I'm calm to the core after watching this video
Same! her voice plus the content, was a perfect first video of the day.♥️
For a while I forgot that core means heart (not native english speaker), then your comment made me smile
I love academia aesthetics, dark, light, chaotic, bring it on!
Hi to my absolute favorite book binding master! I would love to see more tutorials on garden journals or nature journals. Journals where you can add and remove signatures , have a simple pocket and a little inconspicuous tab to hold a pencil.
My aesthetic is cottagecore and when I realized that cottagecore is actually who I am, I became so much happier.

Cottage core is a bit too Holly Hobby for me. But I do LOVE Dark Academia.
I never heard of holly hobby before! Might need to adapt it.
I agree on the Holly Hobby notes and I would prefer CottageGore

NICELY EXPLAINED! And now I realised I'm exactly it, I love gardening and arts!
I love your vidoes btw because you explain so well!
I was wondering why there are only five comments when sea lemon always got more, the I realized this was uploaded 2 mins ago
I totally love the idea of you exploring an aesthetic and making something that fits that aesthetic! 😍😍😍 Would love to see what cottagegore is all about! And desertcore! Where did all these cores come from?
Cottagecore doodle challenge anyone?
Feeling so inspired right now... ❤❤❤👏👏👏
I don't even know if there is a desertcore, it just sounded right since I live in dry dirt and cacti 😄 I need to go look that up now!
@@SeaLemonDIY cacti and succulents have been very big this past year, if it doesn't already exist could it be in the process of forming?

I love this aesthetic. Have you ever considered converting a paperback book into a hardcover book? Leather bound and old library-feel to it?
I have an idea for you! Why don't you try making some sticker sheets and binding then together into a sticker book? I would love to see that happen.

so lets call it damn fucking microwave

I thought exactly the same thing! Love it when things I already do get a "name"

I’ve always loved cottage core, but I also like turning cottage core story’s into a dark mystical world
Wait this is literally my dream lifestyle! I never knew it had an official name! Love this!
You should do some cottage core hand made decorations

Why do you use faux leather as opposed to real leather? Is there a practical difference or is it an ethical reason?
do you have a link to the faux leather/
I’ve been dark cottagecore for years and didn’t know it had a name.☺️
