Customer Reviews

Inspiration
This is simply the most inspiring book I've seen in ages. It is beautifully presented with tips and techniques on how to create journal pages. Lots of photographs help inspire you with ideas of your own and gallery examples of new and old journals are interesting and helpful. All the techniques described are easy to follow and not couched in artistic language that you would need an art degree to understand. Artist or not this will lead you on to better and brighter journalling!

The Decorated Page author Gwen Diehn
Yes,this is the book I've been waiting for!
It's full of good ideas and gives constructive help with techniques,design and presentation without being proscriptive.
It is clearly written by an artist and generously presents the work of other artists so that the reader has a privileged view of pages created by other journal-keepers.
The photograhic illustrations are very helpful in suggesting appropriate media and showing how the artist has used this in decorating the page.
This is the book for anyone wanting to make altered books and decorated pages and retain their own degree of individuality.
They are not pages to copy (Thank goodness!), but they certainly point in the direction of creative expression.
This book will be very useful for anyone who keeps a sketchbook and wants to lift it to a more exciting level.

Great Book for Journalers
This is a sumptious book for anyone who likes to keep a visual journal or diary. So far I have just looked at the pages and haven't read it but glad I bought it just for the visuals!
