Glorious Images

From the nifty cover to the heavy paper to the descriptions of both the benefits and the pitfalls of collaborating, this book is a "Weiner" (winner in husband-speak). Round-robins, swaps, mail art, and much more are covered, but most of all the hundreds of fabulous pieces in full color are what I loved most.... Even if you work as a solitary artist, in altered art, paper arts, fiber arts, or mixed media of any kind, you'll really like this book.

collaborative Art Journals and Shared Visions in Mixed Media

the images in the book speak for themselves... beautifully done, well written, and a beautiful concept. Thank you for stimulated so much creativity!

inspiring, vibrant, smart book

l.k. is an excellent writer. she is thoughtful and smart. there's not a lot of wasted fluff in here as you find in some art/craft books. there are interviews, instructions, stories, and techniques. it is a meaningful book that will give you great ideas for organizing your own collaborative project in a fabulously creative fashion. the artwork is featured in large, colorful photographs where you can relish all the details. it is especially inspiring. i highly recommend it.

Excellent and visually stunning

I love this book. It is filled with so many wonderful works of art and is visually and technically very well done.

Soul Food

As someone who participates in round robin journal exchanges and collaborative photo journal works, I found this book to be inspiring. While this is not a "how to" guide to various mixed media work in the usual sense, it is a showcase of creative collaborations that sparked my creativity. The interviews with featured artists were a bonus as it added depth and structure to the many photos of various journals and books. I would highly recommend this new book by LK to anyone who is interested in round robins, exchanging art journals or other exchanges between artists. Besides being a feast for your eyes, it will be food for your imagination.
