All it promises and more
I've been a follower of kelly rae's journey via her blog for some time and was very interested to see how it translated into this book. The answer is, as far as I'm concerned, brilliantly well!

It's a "how to" book with a lot of heart, but not too much smulch. By sharing her experiences of awakening to her creative self and how she took action to turn this into living an everyday creative life she inspires and delights. The projects shared are also clearly and practically described, doable and yet stretching for artists of various levels of experience and incorporate her own techniques as well as those contributed by other inspirational artists. I read it from cover to cover in one sitting and am now dipping in again to enjoy it at my leisure.

I think most significantly she does convince one that it's possible to take flight as a creative person, whatever the starting point of that journey.

Wonderful book
I bought this book from an Amazon recommendation a month or so ago, and I'm so pleased I did. The quality of the book is superb - beautiful photography, lovely layouts. I must admit I've not delved too much into the text yet (I've just dipped in and out) but even just looking at the projects is very inspiring. A must for the crafts bookshelf.
