    I think the best part of these videos is the genuine joy and appreciation of the one's own work.

It'd be impossible for me as a viewer to find anything to pick on in anything on this channel, all the projects are so beautiful and magical, but I'm sure Martina and Hansi are their own biggest critics. Still, they don't let it show in a non-constructive way. So happy to watch these videos

    The one downside with having the books in their set boxes with the pages facing you is that taking them out is bit more difficult. Maybe adding a strip of cloth to each box for each book, so that it's easier to pull out by pulling on the cloth would make sense? Or you can upgrade the box itself as well, to make the painting blend even more.. :)

    Martina this is unbelievably good. Girl, you're so good at every type of art project you try! Truly an inspiration! I can only imagine how cool would be to do this with a Manga collection as well (even though it probably wouldn't work as great because manga pages don't always have white edges).

    I've been reading The Lord of the Rings every few years since the 80's, but the single volume version. It's only been a few years since I found out they'd split it into three books. Still seems strange, but these look stunning.

    As someone who uses watercolors as their main medium for 10+ years, that is amazing! Especially the Harry Potter ones, you absolutely nailed the lighting! 🤩 I can't even imagine trying to use watercolor on the edge of books, but now I want to try 😂

    When I first saw the title of the video, my first reaction was "NOOOOOO!!!" XD
    But, the final products turned out so beautifully!!! You said you're not good with water colour, but the hues and contrast of value and layering was just done so beautifully!!! And the way you used the colour pencils to add more depth and detail was just perfect! And honestly, do I have to pick a favourite? You literally picked all of my favourite books and made masterpieces out of them all!
    I'm kinda wanting to try that out myself now! Maybe not on my own books, though...maybe some of my books...? Maybe?

    As an occasional watercolorist, I was mindblown at the geniusness of you using an initial layer of wax pencils to repel the watercolors in order to get that magical effect. Super smart! Definitely will be stealing this technique.
