A collection of ideas for art journaling from the Journal Fodder Junkies, some of which I'd done before, but some that were new to me. A few fun techniques in here, but in general I prefer my art journals a bit more structured. Which kind of goes against the idea of an art journal, but I'm okay with that. I think the thing I liked the most was the packing tape image transfer - it works pretty well with magazine pages (though not with brochure pages, as I discovered). Recommended for folks just getting started with art journaling.

Melydia said she thought I might enjoy this book after taking the Creativity in Counseling class this summer. I will give it a try.

I am NOT an artist. My stick figures produce confused looks from people. But I am trying to increase my creativity and I enjoy working with the written word. A friend passed along thus book a few years ago and it sat in my TBR stack waiting for the right mood to strike.

I have been seeking new direction and meaning in my life and recently attended a church retreat which featured a class on journal writing. I dug this book out and took it along and have been perusing it bit by bit since then. I cannot say that this has inspired me to get into art journals but it has reaffirmed my commitment to making more time in my life for creative self-expression. And it has inspired my New Year's project around my word of intention for 2023.

This book is one of many being passed along to potential readers at the 2023 Kensington Day of the Book Festival by members of BookCrossing in Washington DC (BCinDC).
