Nothing hugely grabbed me, but this was better than a number of this sort of book I read. There's a reasonable variety of approaches and clear instructions on technically stuff like image transferring.

Got a couple new artists to look at, a book recommendation for further reading, and a couple new materials to check out (Instant Age Varnish, moldable foam).

The overall tone of this book is creative, warm and welcoming. The projects are varied: art journaling, digital art journaling, doll making, mixed media sculpture, etc. A variety of artists contributed tutorials and essays to this collection. I enjoyed the essays about art, being creative, creative blocks, etc. [My complaint is minor, and that is the awkward discussion of digital photo manipulation and sort of lumping all of the software together as if it all did the same thing.] Overall, a lovely book that I would recommend.

Great reference book for mixed media artists! I got inspired enough to create some of the featured art methods by several of the book's artists. Instructions for several projects that I really wanted to learn how to do. Great photos too!

There are some interesting ideas in this, but it did not quite work for me and I can't put my finger on exactly why. Maybe I'm so much of a beginner in mixed media that I'm missing something about the book.

A must-have for anyone interested in collage. Plus, one of my favorite local artists, Brandie Butcher-Isley, wrote the first chapter. :)

I loved trying out the techniques described in this book, and it's possibly the only nonfiction book I've ever read cover-to-cover because it was honestly enjoyable to read.
