Loved this mixed media book. Amazing colors and ideas in the book. Utter inspiration for anyone who loves art and creativity.

5/22 - reread this book again, and still it inspires me. The artwork is gorgeous and the ideas for techniques are still ones that I have not tried. Not a lot of step by step, but if you are ready to trust your intution and explore some of the ideas, there is a great here for inspiration.

Lots of techniques I'd never seen before like gelatin printing! Can't wait to try some of them.
