Hello Jibid,
I feel the need to acknowledge and extend my heartfelt gratitude to you for this wonderful gift. The remade of your original concept, the black forest, was way beyond my expectations. I love how each page is ambiguous, just like how a forest contains haphazard routes. Every time I turn the pages, it sends a chill down my spine. I can totally sense how getting lost in the forest can be extremely horrifying and exhilarating at the same time. In addition, I adore the collages composed of miscellenous fibers and fabrics. Anything that is perceptible by touch generates a more realistic sensation of the forest. I may be exaggerating, but I honestly feel like I'm holding the entire forest in my arms. As this tome is very precious to me, I won't be writing in it. Not to mention, I collect journals to admire because I am not the type of person to journal.
On a side note, we could not believe you have actually paid the cemetery a visit just to accumulate specimens for this journal! You are incredibly dedicated to providing the best quality, value, and service to your customers. You are a meticulous craftsman and your talents will be only be amplifying overtime. Stanley and I hope to converse with you for another custom order again. Thank you very much for fulfilling my dreams of owning such a perfect journal. (:

Sending lots of love,
Anna and Stanley

Please don't apologize for your video being too long! So many artists say that in their videos! As if it is a chore to watch their video and they feel sorry that we have to go through till the end! I can't be the only person who feels this way, right? I love to see the beautiful creations that jibid and other artists create and are kind enough and brave enough to show online! Alot of times I wish the videos were longer and that the youtuber wouldn't rush through so fast because I love seeing all the little details!

Jibid, I hope you know that we appreciate the time you take to make your videos and how many people are inspired by your work and cant wait to see what your next creation is!

I felt like I had just walked into a story tale page, following a trail that led me deep into the forest, drifting along with the flow of the book.  A wonderful journey.  I admire your artwork & all the extra touches that seem to create magic.  TFS

Oh Jibid, I truly believe you may have out done yourself with this journal. A work of art indeed, it takes one on a journey deep within the forest. It evokes the imagination and I found myself lost in all the possibilities of each page. I used to live in Tahoe National Forest out side of an old and tiny mining town close to a river. My sister lived there too and was an amazing artist that loved to create things from nature, she wove pine needle baskets and garnished the tops with acorns an seed pods. She also foraged for wood spirts that lived in in old downed trees, she would carve faces into them and it was always a treat to see what would emerge. I treasure time times we spent together walking deep into our forest home foraging for moss, leaves, stones and seed pods. This journal brought back these precious memories and as dark as the theme of this journal was I could still see the sunlight that whispered through the trees. You are an amazing artist Jibid and I so appreciate all you share of your talent and creative spirt. With love and blessings. ✨💞✨💫

Loved your journal and story of the tree you thought was a man.  The tracing paper idea is exceptional!  I enjoyed your video very much.  TFS

I keep watching this video. Everytime is like having a walk in the forest. Dark, deep and gothic. Every single one of your journals is a work of art, but this in particular is a masterpeace!

I so love watching your videos. Woke this morning early to watch again while everyone asleep so I wouldn't have any distractions. The journey through the dark forest with you is so magical. Journal lovers like ourselves are such a rare breed and what you create just takes the imagination beyond brilliance. Blows my mind. TFS your creative genius.

I could so stroll through your forest with your relaxing narration all day long Jibid, I need one like this it’s stunning x

Oh my word Jibid - another stunner! I'm so jealous of Anna, she has a real beauty here. So many amazing parts, fantastic colours, ideas...I can't think of the right words to describe it all because I'm blown away by it.

YES!  I LOVE that they are "long"!  It is a lesson just seeing each page and it inspires me to do things  I had never thought of! If other people, (so far NONE!) want it shorter, they can push through to the end!  But that's like reading the first and last pages of a really good book!  I sure am enjoying these videos!

Keep tittering to myself about the man in the yellow mac😂

Okay...first...the "man" in the cemetery...maybe it was holly..maybe not!! Also, I have paused 100 times to drink in the pages you've created!!! Your thorn illustrations...omg are you kidding me? You are fantastic....you are also hilarious with your "I can be professional when I want to be.." I adore you Jibid!! xo

Wow! What a unique journal. My favorite thing about it is the use of color and the amazing technique used to carry the tone throughout. How did you achieve those papers???? Love the journal and your quotes and your stories! Thank you💖🤗🌳🌲🍁🍃

Wagnerian in tone and splendour. I kept waiting for the pot of basil and Lorenzo's head once Isabella appeared. I can just see her recording her lamentable love story in this stunning tome.

same imagination here, such a beautiful book again Jibid! love it, the closure and the scroll, the eco dying,, the tracing papers, drawings the fabrics and everything really

I believe this is the most wonderfully beautiful and enchanting journal I have ever seen.  It’s just so full of special tones, touches and feels.

Just      OUT OF THIS WORLD  !!!!!!!!! ❤

We have something similar here in the states but it's called the money tree and it looks exactly like that it has like a goldish hint of gold to it but you can see through it and it's very very fragile and it dries beautifully but it would crumble if you were to touch it but it stays forever as long as they're gentle with it but it looks exactly like the same plant that's so weird but we call him money trees over here but it looks exactly the same when you are calling yours an honesty plant I wonder if they're related somehow the species❤ your Journal is absolutely beautiful I love it stunning very inspirational

😍 just exquisite, Jibid!  I am in awe of you, my dear friend!

Wow, I am blown away by this journal.  I also like the little scrolls, for years I have been doing scrolls on my Halloween crafts and cards, it never occurred to me to put one on a journal or mini album.  You nailed it on the naturalistic fantasy.  I just stumbled on your tutorials by accident and subscribed immediately.  Beautifully done and lots of unique inspiration.  Thank you.  Barb
