Thank you. Great book recommendations. I already have Gerald Brommer's book and IMO it's one of the best books on collage technique out there! The projects are given in a step by step manner which is easy to follow. 🙏🏼💕

Awesome seeing your library for your Journals, I'v been looking into other artists as well for my art, being dazzled by some, and then thinking how can I take the inspiration and make it my own, that is not duplicate their work but take the elements and redefine them in a way to make my own work better. Do you do the same? Find those you adore and then find your own interpretation? That is aside from some principles that are just that, known elements.

Loved seeing your favs. I've read most of those and agree that they are packed with inspiration. Something I've been doing for years now is keeping a notebook of techniques and ideas. When I read a book or magazine on art journaling and see something interesting I jot it down in my notebook. Later I flip through the notebook for ideas to try in my own journal. I can't recommend it enough. I have more ideas than I think I could ever try. TYFS your books. Be well.

That is quite an interesting selection. To be fair, I have never come across a book especially dedicated to art journaling and I like to browse the arts and crafts aisled at bookstores... I loved this kind of video from you Kari 🌻

You have just reminded me, I have a few of these books in storage!! Bit off topic, but have you still got the ATC’s on homelessness you collaborated on as part of your degree? I was telling someone about them a couple of days ago. It’s weird when random conversations can transport you back, how long ago was that? Your final year? Xxx🥰😍
