Visual Chronicles: The No-Fear Guide to Creating Art Journals, Creative Manifestos and Altered Books - Rare is the book that actually lives up to its promises. This book does it. Written by a sister-sister team (one a writer, one an artist), this book shows you step-by-step how — and why — to create a visual journal. From color selection to images, it discusses projects, how-tos, tips, and more. A great choice for those who want to investigate or dabble in visual journaling but aren’t sure where to start.

This book is the coolest, funniest combo of art and writing advice and techniques. It shows you how to express your personality or the personality of the people and places around you, with mixed media art and words. There are different styles of art and writing shown, so you can see how to make a fast art journal page that really captures your mood in an easy, simple way, or you can spend more time on, like, a self portrait that uses more difficult steps for the art. I like that there are lots of ways shown to do art journaling, with paint, collage, pictures, just writing, combining things, etc. The chapters build on eachother, so as you do what is in each one, you get better and better at the writing and art, and you have all these ideas for journaling about your life and looking at life differently. I am laughing more and art journaling more, definately!

As the authors say, “You don’t have to be artistic, all you have to do is be.”

Quoted from the Author, Ali Edward’s:
“Sometime last week I realized that I was not heading to Chicago this week for CKU-A. I totally thought it was this week and was feeling the stress of one thing after another. Upon being told that it is NEXT WEEK I was so freakin happy I could not belive it. I seriously gained a week in my life.
