I am just speechless at how beautiful and special this is Francesca! What a wonderful way to celebrate these beautiful women. You truly have a gift, don’t ever forget what a beautiful soul you are ♥️
Outstanding.... beautiful. your mother and yourself... you do look like her.... beautiful.... This is a work of art. I enjoyed watching. Thank you ... Dee
Oh my, the time and the thought it is so evident in your work. Such a treasure for you and beyond you to have. Wonderful creation. Thank you for sharing. *Debbie*
This journal is beautiful and I love the connections you made with your mother and grandmother. Family history is another passion of mine and making a journal like this is something I hope to do one day. Thanks for the inspiration.
My goodness, what a very dear ADORABLE journal 💜 Both you, your Mother and your Grandmother are so beautiful - and you're a very charming person ✨️ Wishing you a wonderful weekend! 🪄 /Ditte in Sweden
Oh How Precious.......This is the Most Beautiful and Meaningful Journal! What a Treasure.........I believe your Grandmother is PROUD to be on the Cover! Thank You again for sharing your Talent, Francesca!
Your grandmother is so beautiful and this journal is gorgeous!! Love it!! You make amazing journals! Beautiful photo of you and your mom, three generations in one journal. So inspiring! Love all three journalsTFS HUGS :)
Omgoodness! So beautiful. I can't get over how much I love your 'plain' pages, how they are dyed and soft pieces of papers or fabrics are added...do you have a video on how you prepare your coffee/tea (?) dyed pages with the extra papers/collage added? They remind me of the old plaster walls in villas. I imagine paintings once 'hung' on those papers. I hope I make sense? Lol! Hugs! Sheila
thank you Sheila! for the coffee stain you can watch this video on the timestamp 9:09 ruclips.net/video/dDCo4xAU5y8/видео.html for the pages I followed the instructions on Nellie’s course :) the link is in the description 🤍 thank you again!
this is just STUNNING!!! Love love this class.. I just purchased it over Thanksgiving and I can't wait to get into it. Your journal is so so special. I love that you dedicated it to your Grandmother. I always love your beautiful projects Francesca 💗💗💗
p.s- I love that you left some pages naked... they are beautiful all on their own! the simplicity of them mixed with the beauty of the cover and other details is so beautiful to me.
@@rubyandpearlxo thank you Heather! you are going to have a LOT of fun with this class! actually I purchased also “wandering from within” and it’s amazing! (I hope to complete that for next year, I take my time… so to speak, lol) oh, and for the naked pages, yes, I had to, otherwise this journal would never born… I’m only sorry for don’t have shown (oh my poor english!!) all the beautiful things that someone can learn from that course… but I will in the future for sure!! thank you again Heather, I hope to see your version soon!! 🌟 hugs!!
Your journals are beyond stunning! I cannot believe how beautiful these are. Thank you once again for sharing your creativity. Also...I appreciate the reminder of what our/my name means and how the butterfly represents that meaning! ❤️ Francie
Dear Francesca, again you have created a beautiful, stunning and emotionally creative trio of journals, which are true works of art. Thank you so much for this wonderful dose of inspiration. Love Jenny ❤❤❤
I am blown away by the pure heirloom you created my sweet friend! An absolute treasure ❤ I imagine a book like this to be kept for generations to be admired - I love your story and how meaning this is! Nellie Wortman’s classes and books are so inspiring, you truly went above and beyond with this beautiful journal!
thank you Nazy, so are your courses! I’m so glad that I have completed these three journals, they are so meaningful to me, really, creating them were such a healing process! so thank you too!! I’m so glad that people like you and Nellie share your gifts with us :)
Just found your channel and I love your work. I have taken a few courses from Nellie and adore her style of journaling. I am looking forward to seeing more of your videos. My husband is Italian and I just love the accent.
@@JunkJournalJoy My husband was born in America but his family come from Sicily. I have always wanted to visit Italy and hopefully some day I will get there. Are you living here in the US?
I'm only at 2 minutes and 8 seconds. I usually don't tell anyone this, because I'm old ... almost 67 ... and when I do, people I've known for a long time think I'm crazy and leave my life, but I am a sensitive ... a clairvoyant...... and the love I felt from you just holding the journal in your hands and describing that it was your mother's and your grandmother was overwhelming. You are a true artist in the most literal sense. To me, art is what connects us all as human beings. My son loves Metallica heavy metal. I love John Denver and Barry Manilow. It doesn't matter, both are art that takes us away from the world and into a happy place. I just discovered your channel from your shorts video on making glassine paper, and clicked on your name to watch some videos. I have so much housework to do today, Thank God I found your video, because now I can do research instead. After almost two years of being unsettled into permanent housing, we finally came to the most perfect, wonderful home that was worth the wait. I'm going to relaunch my little channel and share channels and what I've learned from so many beautiful artists like yourself. But first, I'm going to hit subscribe and the like button. I have 80 most cherished subbies, but I need to get to a thousand. I'm so glad I found your channel. I can't wait to binge watch past videos ... what's a few dust bunnies against work research? Ha. The best of everything I wish for you, Patricia
I agree with you Patricia, art is all about connections and a great reminder that we are one and the same, so to speak. just yesterday I was talking with a lady in this community on how this type of things makes us less alone, especially in hard times like this. I’m glad that you want to relaunch your channel, the more we are, the better!! I believe our (youtube) channels are “real” channels for something good (I know you can understand ✨) and… fun fact: I love heavy metal like your son, I saw Metallica in concert in 2004! 🙌🏻 but my favorite was and are Alice in Chains (from my beloved 90s grunge era🙌🏻) sending all the love and congrats for your new house!! hugs!
@@JunkJournalJoy that's hilarious about Metallica. Something told me to write. I remember Alice in chains. My son was goofing off in 12th grade, in jeopardy of not graduating, and this is 2009, and Metallica scheduled a concert near us. He asked for tickets I liedand told him they were sold out. I'm a single mom, wehave no other living relatives, but the venue has a program where you can pre purchase tickets before they go on sale, but they are expensive. 2 floor seat tickets were $400. And getting closer to graduation he was failing. I showed him the tickets and said uou only get these when you graduate. He hit the books. Several months later we hit the road. Another super Metallica friend went with him. They were on the phone constantly talking about what they were going g to wear. Worse than teenagers going to Justin better. When they allowed the floor seat tickets in, they literally ran to the stage and parked themselves right where they made space for the guys to walk to the stage. James Hatfield was just a few feet away. He recognized a roadie and they were talking. I don't remember his name, bit the lead guitarist with long haired signed a pick and tossed it to him. Happy days. Sorry for the too long story, but he still says one of the best days of his life.
Francesca It is beautiful tribute to your grandmother & Mother, I have only a few photos of my mother & grandmother on her side. I have always wanted to create a journal to feature the women who I am descended from. Thank you for the inspiration.
