these are my very first handcrafted journals. instead of just one I chose to produce or manufacture 6 at once. hints mass production. anything over 1 is mass handcrafted by Camille Smile Inspires: Creatively Unique Designs.
not like as if I'm producing from a factory, because then it wouldn't be handmade. mass produced can be anywhere from 2 and up. I've seen journal makers where I e gathered inspiration from, and these artists handcrafted 20 or 30 or more of 1 item at once. some made 10 at once, or 3 or 4. it all just depends on how we feel, what we can likely handle, our supplies what we have to utilize. the space we have. etc.
these specific journals are smaller journals and they are kind of paperback rather than hardcover, but at least they're reinforced.
the plan is to make larger journals of various sizes and dimensions for these 6 smaller journals to go in to. I haven't started on the larger parent books yet. the mother of the baby journal. one per larger journal I'm thinking.
I hope you found some inspiration and lots of motivation here within my video today. if it's helped you in anyways shape or form, please can you give me a thumbs up to let me know?
please also subscribe to the channel so that we can form a lovely community where we build skills, gain insight and motivation, as well as spend time along side one another crafting and creating works of art.
my hopes and plans include finishing these smaller journals named ideas, creating the larger journals, then slipping one ideas journal into either a tuck spot or a pocket in the larger journal to create a writing space in a organized journal that is specifically for ideas for ways to earn money. I may add an info card to the inside of the ideas journal to guide the customer and friend to utilize the ideas journal in an organized way as well as the mother journa itself. perhaps there's more ways I can create a integrated feature or more than 1 to lead the customer to feeling organized and motivated plus inspired to write and spend time thinking and writing down thoughts goals stories and more while lasting or washintwoing photographs in the journal or art etc.
there's going to be some mixed media art paper in the journal to help the customer have space to paint and it not destroy the paper from lack of specific quality that's needed to handle paint well. don't worry these journals that hold the ideas journal will have such mixed media and watercolor even tracing paper.
.when the journals are complete I'll post a finished video and show you a screen share of the listed items on ebay.
these have so much time effort and care plus love out into them I don't know what I'll charge yet. perhaps auction would be best. tthats how my mom sold her dolls long time ago before she passed away in her 80s.
