Wonderful Inspiration! November 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I wasn't an art journaler... at least I wasn't until I stumbled onto this book. I picked it up in a bookstore, and was instantly enthralled. This is what a book about art journalling should be -- lots and lots of great illustrations. These are clear, and colorful, and detailed enough that you can read the writing on the most detailed pages. Best is the wonderful assortment of styles of journalling reflected in this collection. Collage, sketching, watercolor painting... there is something to inspire the most amateur of journallers, as well as the most advanced of artists. This is definitely a book I'll be looking at over and over again. It'd make a great gift along with a blank book for someone, too!
Inspiration galore! November 17, 2008

If you haven't seen this book already I think it is one of those Must-own-book because there is so much to look at that you'll never be finished with it! It's filled to the brim with many talented artist and it holds a big range of diverse visual journaling styles! There are collages, doodles, sketches, writing and photos on page after page with views inside the private Art Journals from people all over the world!
This book has +300 pages and almost no text - but very many (1000!) pages (though some are photos of the whole spread and those counts as two pages). You can read what the artist has written and journaled about on the pages and you understand that you are not alone in you angst and artistic fears!
It's an art book that probably will inspire anyone to do a little art journaling (but probably a lot). If you're experienced in the mixed media field you will totally want to keep this book as a reference guide and inspiration tool for different styles, artists and prompts. If you're new to Art Journals and collage I think you will be curious about starting after just a few minutes!
I'm glad I bought it and it will be taken down from my book shelf many many times in the future.
One of the Many Artists...But Always Thankful October 31, 2008
I am one of the many artists that appear in this beautiful book. I will always appreciate the fact that my own offerigns appear with so many that are clearly a continuing inspiration to myself and many others.

I absolutely loved this book! as a visual journaler I am always looking for inspiration. This book has so many examples of interesting journaling styles that immediately started getting my juices flowing!
If you are looking for a step by step book, this is not it. If you want to see other people's pages or to get inspiration, get this book, you won't be disappointed.
Something for everyone! October 15, 2008
I highly recommend this book! It is filled with page after page of glorious visual journaling -- so many different styles and techniques -- definitely something for everyone. This is a book not to be missed and a must-have for your library.
