an unveiling

I'm excited to finally share with you a little project I'm honored to have been a part of. Journal It!: Perspectives in Creative Art Journaling, by Jenny Doh, is a collection of books and pages by 19 diverse mixed-media artists that includes detailed descriptions of our favorite techniques plus discussions on why we do what we do in the first place and why we all feel so passionately about sharing our love of journaling with others.

If you've been fascinated by others' visual journals but never stuck your toes in the water to give it a try yourself, this beautiful book will be an excellent place to gather ideas to get you started on expressing your own unique voice through words and images. If you are a seasoned pro, the diversity of expression alone will motivate you to try something you've maybe never tried before (journaling is all about experimentation and play, after all) and inspire a fresh vision and passion for your own books.

Many of the journal artists you will recognize, but there are many more new faces I know will inspire you! Let me know what you think! Here's a little sneak peek:

Hi Debra
HUGE CONGRATS!!!!! I've been asked to review the book and my complimentary copy came on Friday and I literally tore the packaging open to get at the book. It's gorgeous. Everything about is awesome and inspiring. The layout is so open and welcoming and makes for discovering and learning new techniques exciting and user friendly, perfect for seasoned artists as well as someone just dipping their toes into new waters. LOVE everything about it. So again, congrats on being part of this fabulous publication. I'll be getting another copy soon and will be hosting a giveaway as soon as it is in my hands.
