  Informative and artistic July 19, 2008 Even if I never make my own journal, I love looking at this book! It takes you through the whole process or suggests how you can transform an already existing book. The examples show creative and beautiful ideas. It focuses more on the use of paint than other materials. I bought it with The Decorated Page which elaborates on page ideas and love owning both. It is a great addition to my art reference material.
  Kicking it up a notch for a beginner like me September 13, 2007 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book helped me get to the next stage in my beginning art journaling. I learned why paper behaves the way it does when liquid is applied, how different adhesives work and what they're good for--tons of practical stuff for a neophyte to art journaling. I go back to it again and again. It's got great information, and it's a beautiful book to spend time with. I'll grow into it for a long time.
  decorated journal September 3, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I loved Gwen Diehn's first book and this one is very, very good. The journal pages by the artists and the suggestions from the author are inspiring and thought provoking. The design of this book is uninspired and boring. It is UNDERdecorated. It looks like a text book, which is a shame.

  A must have book for journal makers!! July 21, 2007 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I devoured this book! It is by far the most inspiring and informational book on journal making I have ever read. Wonderfully written and illustrated so it is easy to understand and put to use. I can't wait to try everything including making my own pigments! I guess I'll have to buy her first one!
