On My Bookshelf

 

This week's book is one of my favorite books dealing with Art Journaling: Creative Wildfire: An Introduction to Art Journaling--Basic and Beyond by L.K. Ludwig

As I have explained in numerous posts, I am really interested in the creative process of other people--especially artists.  The book is divided into the following chapters:

1. Gathering Fuel: How to Get Started
2. The Tinderbox: Page Surface Techniques
3. Build a Fire: Using Imagery
4. Bursting into Flames: Creating Meaningful Content
5. Feeding the Fire: Adding Details
6. Keeping the Fire Burning: Fueling Your Creativity

Don't let the fire analogy fool you--this is a book full of ideas, techniques and instruction on how to start and develop your own stunning journals. There are plenty of examples and how-to guides but most importantly, for me anyway, are actual journal pages from the author and other contributors.

This is a great book for those interested in journaling, art journaling, scrapbooking, paper arts or in the creative/artistic process. Definitely recommended.
