Ohhhh love the scribbles... going to have to remember that style for the next prompt with a scribble. The Decorated Page really like that one. P has quite the collection... but one I just added to it was the Art of the Fold. And what you are a published artist, that is fantastic.

Always fascinating where inspiration presents itself.

Wiw what a selection! Second hand is good I think. Recycling 👍 the last on was my favourite at least on a fairly quick flick though. Thanks for that i🥰

[changchesserly]

Thank you. Great book recommendations. I already have Gerald Brommer's book and IMO it's one of the best books on collage technique out there! The projects are given in a step by step manner which is easy to follow. 🙏🏼💕

Thanks for this! I have some of them, but I was particularly intrigued by the Dan Eldon book. I will definitely look for that one. Thanks again!😊

Quite a collection, Kari. I have the Complete Decorated Journal. Some others I love are Somerset Studio magazine and the Artist Cafe.

You've sure got a treasure trove their Kari, what lovely books. I've always had books in my life right from being a child, I love the smell, the feel - or is that just me lol. Tfs xo

I love seeing what inspires you- they are definitely lovely books of inspiration!! Thanks for sharing Kari!

[phinnyzuril]

Loved seeing your favs. I've read most of those and agree that they are packed with inspiration. Something I've been doing for years now is keeping a notebook of techniques and ideas. When I read a book or magazine on art journaling and see something interesting I jot it down in my notebook. Later I flip through the notebook for ideas to try in my own journal. I can't recommend it enough. I have more ideas than I think I could ever try. TYFS your books. Be well.

Thanks so much for such a detailed look at these books! I don’t have any of them, so they were great to see. Thanks Kari!

[artfulzebra]

I have all of those bar two! All very inspirational! I shall be having a good look through Dan Eldon's when I next visit, that's been on my wishlist for a while. :)

[fionamartin]

Thanks for sharing this! I have just bought the last one from eBay as I found that particularly interesting! 📖📚📙📓

Awesome seeing your library for your Journals, I'v been looking into other artists as well for my art, being dazzled by some, and then thinking how can I take the inspiration and make it my own, that is not duplicate their work but take the elements and redefine them in a way to make my own work better. Do you do the same? Find those you adore and then find your own interpretation? That is aside from some principles that are just that, known elements.

Great video - love book flip throughs and recommendations! Have most of them apart from the last one. How exciting to have your work in a published book!
