Im still working my way through it; but it isnt disappointing me. Her style is such that Id love to sit and chat with her over a cup of tea; and then pull out pens and paper and just...play.The concept here is that as artists and creative people; we are often dragged down by the Inner Critic--that nasty little voice that stalls us from truly expressing ourselves creatively; no matter what medium we work in. Quinn offers a way of counteracting that voice through a series of exercises designed to summon our Inner Heroes--those other voices and parts of our personalities that take charge when the going gets tough. Being someone with a lot going on in my head; I like this approach of having an inner dialogue and bringing it out onto paper; and not only that; but in a creative way. There are a lot of practical ideas; examples and prompts; plus Quinns easy style makes you feel like she understands what is going on through your head: you are not alone!There are lots of fun and useful worksheets to fill out; my only gripe is that throughout the book on these worksheets it says there are more free downloads available to compliment the book. This is a gimmick a lot of authors are using these days and I kind of like it PROVIDED THERE ACTUALLY IS ADDITIONAL FREE CONTENT AVAILABLE. When I went to the web address indicated; there were only links to the worksheets featured in the book. Nice; if I dont want to mark up my book; but you are definitely lead to believe there is bonus content. Perhaps there will be down the road; but I dont have the time to keep checking back. It should have been ready upon the print copys publication.Still; Im a fan!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great for the Art Journaler!By J.L. FarnsworthI love this Art Journaling book. I have a collection of them; and this one ranks at the top. It is very full and in-depth. So much great information on digging into your psyche and figuring yourself out. Besides being an Artist and Author professionally; I love art journaling as a meditative; soul-searching quest. Ive been battling depression; anxiety and PTSD; and Art Journaling has become a fantastic outlet. Im not quite through this entire book yet; its going to take some time to get there; but right from the first page; the author engages you; encouraging you to look inside yourself.Its 128 pages; with about 120 of those pages being actual art journaling pages full of fantastic information. Very descriptive in both written word; and filled with pictures. Right in the beginning the book lays out a list of supplies you will need; most of which if youre an artist; youll have lying around. And you can always substitute and change things out to your liking and put your own spin on the project.The whole book is a guided journey. The author tells you stories; with background and history; and helps you to create the projects on each page. In the beginning of the book; basically; you are putting together sheets of watercolor paper to use like Tarot cards. Ive been using my essentials pad of watercolor paper - 15 or 25 sheets in each pad that are 5x7 each. https://www..com/Langnickel-25-Sheet-Watercolor-Essentials-12-Inch/dp/B001CZQOY8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8qid=1472590942sr=8-2keywords=essentials+watercolor+paper+pad I find these to be the perfect size for what they are asking.Through the book you also make color block mosaics; fabric and paper collages; you use soy silk paper on one project that Ive seen; sheer fabrics and stitching on another. (Yes; you stitch thread to the paper. Great idea!) It has you using envelopes and cards; making an expandable holder for all your work; and even re-purposing an old book. (Which I LOVE to do. I love learning new techniques!)The author takes you through a detailed journey; filled with different techniques using many different tools; media; and ideas; including one project made with egg shellsIf youre considering this book; youll enjoy it! Take a chance.14 of 15 people found the following review helpful. A Great Help Me Create BookBy L. StarkeyI really like her idea of creating individual pages versus working in a hardbound journal. Ive always found that trying to create in a hardbound journal is daunting...Im always afraid of messing up the page and being stuck with it.
