outstanding! April 2, 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
There are a lot of journaling how to books out on the shelves these days but this new book by Violette stands out above them all. Page after page of Violette's wonderful, whimsical and engaging artwork along with prompts, tips and creative techniques to get you started on creating your own art journals. Even if you're a practiced art journaler you'll enjoy this book because it's impossible to flip through it and not be inspired by the imagery. But there's more here to be inspired by than just the artwork. Violette covers a ton of techniques starting with silencing your inner critic and then moves into creating groovy backgrounds, image transfers and fanciful lettering as well as doodling and bodacious borders. I highly recommend this book, it's a must have for anyone interested in art journaling.

A Little Disappointing March 17, 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This isn't going to be popular with Violette's fans, but after reading the reviews, I was excited to buy this book. All I can say is, take a look at the author's artwork very carefully, because the whole thing is full of the same exact style, page after page. I respect that every artist has a particular and unique style, but I thought that there would be more instruction, or prompts for writing, etc. And admittedly I don't care for this particular look, so I maybe shouldn't have purchased the book, but it seemed like there would be more to it that I would have a good time with--like maybe Violette would have given us some more ideas about what to write, or shown us how to draw particular things. I'm keeping the book anyway, and maybe I'll find my own style out of what I like and don't like in her artwork. I would have liked this book so much more if the "look" of the pages had some contrast. I appreciate that she makes everyone feel like they, too, can create and be an artist, but some of the "imperfections" in the handwriting just seemed a little too beginner (or perhaps repetative, or purposely sloppy) for me.

A must have!! April 17, 2009
Format:Paperback
I was so inspired after my first time through this, I worked on my art journal non-stop for HOURS (normally my attention span doesn't allow that). The art is beautiful and full of spirit, this will be one that stays on my art table!
