I love, love, love art journals. I love scrapbooks, photography books...and this is another nice addition to my modestly growing collection. I love having them on my shelf for me to take down when in the mood to look at something pretty and inspirational. Whenever I feel creatively blocked or just stuck in an artistic dud, all I have to do is walk over to my bookcase (by the ways, not meaning to oversell myself, I absolutely suck at scrapbooking/art journaling...I have only recently accepted the...more

This is a lovely book. It has the author's writings/art in it. It has questions you may answer. I am so captivated by it that once I get working on it, I am immediately drawn in and lose all sense of time. I use glitter pens, fine tip colored pens, and cover every inch of every page. If you struggle with dissociation, or staying in the present, or boredom, or want a new way to journal, or have never journaled before, this art/journal book is perfect for you. It is gorgeous. Very contemporary, un...more
Stumbled upon this book at my local Antrhopolgie store and just simply fell in Love with it. Bought it for a friend, but actually read the entire thing and copied down many of the thoughts in it before I sent it to her...I found the scribbles adorable and inspirational and I actually wish I had bought it for myself.
As much as this book is one to begin your own art journaling, I use this more as a reference than an actual layout for my art journal. I've tried writing in this and it's alright, but I believe it is more of a stepping stone and not the set up for it. All art journals should be made independently... this is more like an outline to get you started. It's encouraging, but along the way, I've found other things, other questions that beckon attention far more than just the ones she picks out.

This is the only journal that I have filled and kept. I wish I still had the ones from high school, but they are paying rent in the staten island dump right now.
I often return to this book when I need some inspiration in my life. It's a great journal prompter and it always reveals much of myself to me.
Another fill in the blank journal book with wonderful prompts and beautiful backgrounds, what's not to love about this?
the first book i read by sabrina. i love it.
this book helped me a lot through hard times.
trust the mess..

Very beautiful pages. Love the texture, collages and use of hand made typography.
I love Sabrina's stuff. If you are into altered art and altered journals you will like Sabrina's work. It's not for everyone. My husband looks at it and thinks it's ugly and then I look at the same thing and come away totally inspired. This book has really inspired me to journal openly and honestly - the true and the questions.
Thsi journal invites one to wonder, to think, to create, to laugh and cry and above all, to live fully into the truth and questions of one's life. Beautiful to look at - even more fun to mess up - the author's whole intent!

I love all the scribbling and pictures and quotes and questions in here, all the color. I just go through it and add stuff here and there. Wonderful!

“I sat on the bench outside of class today and talked to Jon. I read to him from my journal, it was the part about the accordian player I was watching on the street last weekend. He said that an accordian is such a perfect metaphor for Love, because you are always opening, and closing, shifting, and getting air, and that's how the music happens. True.”
