Review
The fire analogy rages throughout Ludwig’s new book…from ‘Gathering the fuel (How to Get Started) through Keeping the Fire Burning (Expanding Your Journaling Repertoire), we are taken on a blazing hot voyage through art journaling that does indeed go beyond the basics and into the nitty-gritty techniques. Art journaling junkies will enjoy its gleaming inspiration. The free recycled blank journal is the added kindling to help fan the flames for both new and experienced art journalers.” - Book Review by Jenn Mason, Editor, “Cloth, Paper, Scissors” May/June 2010
