5.0 out of 5 stars An Inspirational, Intimate, Artistic Journey November 30, 2008

By Christy Hydeck

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I'm the type of gal, who's always a bit skeptical ordering a new book - I consider myself an advanced artist and always dread the possibility of being disappointed upon a new release. Really, who enjoys buyer's remorse? Fresh ideas and perspectives are difficult to come by; but Susan Tuttle managed to not only impress me with her book - but inspire me as well.

It's visually stunning, and truly a delight just to page through! However, the real value lies within the words, the techniques and often very personal glimpses into these artists' lives, and creative processes. The diversity of styles, voices, and mediums presented here is extensive... genuinely offering that proverbial something for everyone.

Artists at any level will find themselves inspired to try a new project, or look at something they may have already done, with a new viewpoint. There are tips and insights into overcoming artists block, dealing with the dreaded white canvas, interviews and oh-so-much more. Assemblage, Mixed-media, Art Dolls, Digital Art, Challenges, journaling, jewelry, photography, creative exercises and a plethora of other artistic goodness lies between these covers.

Know the feeling you get after an evening with a close friend, who reveals just a bit of themselves you didn't see before? Exhibition 36 leaves me with that same inspired, touching feeling. Susan gathered an amazing array of creative souls, and so many of them allowed us a peek into their creative genius - priceless.

This is a must have book; it's on my shortlist of mixed-media gems.

5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing! December 11, 2008

By M. B. Shaw

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

There are so many books about mixed media art that I have been a little bummed by some of them. But not this one! This is a book you want to read cover to cover; it's a little bit like crawling into the head of an art exhibit if you can imagine that. Very interesting interviews with artists, including some new intriguing folks. Great projects. Terrific eye candy. The author has done a wonderful job presenting new and inspiring material in a very unique way. This is one to add to your library.
