I found the information in this book very helpful in directing a group of adult students this summer in creating sketchbook/journals.

This book brings a lot to the table! I was really amazed at how much there is to read, learn and digest from this wealth of information.
It has simple descriptions of materials, techniques and styles, many of them charted out to compare easily. It gives you many reasons to create a personal art journal, helping those who have problems deciding where to start, like me.
It may daunt those who don't feel they have any drawing skills, as the illustrations in the pictured journals are hand-drawn, however, there are many other examples that show you can take the materials around you to create interesting and intriguing layouts. It also gives simple step-by-step instructions on how to re-create certain drawings in the book.
I particularly liked the section on the ways to bind books and bind existing books. That, on it's own makes this book a very valuable resource!
I think this is a great addition to any altered book artist or art journalist!

I thought The Decorated Page was a great book and had checked it out from the library so many times that I decided to buy it. When I saw The Decorated Journal advertised, and read other reviews, I knew it would be good. I wasn't disapointed. It's every bit as good as the first and maybe better. I especially like the book binding portion in the back of the book. My favorite journaling book so far. I would highly recommend this book.

Delightful from begining to end. Techniques explained in detail. Loved the stories within the book. Many works illustrated showing techniques shown. One of my favorite additions to my collage library.

This is a wonderful book - full of ideas, inspiration, and how-to. If you like artist's books, you will enjoy this. She covers materials, paints and pigments, brushes, adhesives and more. There are hundreds of examples, photos of wonderful journals by many artists. I can't imagine there is a book artist out there who would not find a dozen great ideas from this book.
