recommends it for: Anyone who wants to bring more creativity into their world.
I am still reading this book. Reading this book is like watching The Sixth Sense, you don't catch it all the first time. Each chapter is broken into sections of a Creative Life...Work areas, The Muse, Processes, Etc. Heck that is enough information alone.

Rice Freeman Zachery doesn't stop there, she loads each page with images and work from several artists who were interviewed in the publication. Perhaps the best addition to the book is the "try this" sections, with little tips...more

June 27, 2008: I opened this book tonight and have not even read much of it yet but I started to cry. Cry because it evoked such a feeling of home for me. That this is truly the art I have inside wanting to come out. The pages are beautiful - truly inspiring.

The book has been most helpful in showing me the many paths there are to life as a creative person. The illustrations are beautiful and the comments from other artists of various types is energizing.

Okay, so "art" is more than "craft" but there's plenty of inspiration for craft in this book about how working artists find inspiration, create their works and let them go. Besides, it's pretty.
