      Hadar began her practice of art journaling, called the Visual Journey Journaling Method, as a means of processing her grief after her mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer. In this practice, seven elements are combined to create vivid, meaningful spreads featuring layered images, text, color, and line. Spreads begin with intention--a desire to express something--and build in an organic manner, incorporating what Hadar calls "magical coincidence," a childlike openness to creativity without boundaries. Throughout the book, Hadar walks artists through her process, including how-tos for a variety of art journaling techniques. The highlight is the spreads from her art journals, which combine a variety of design elements into an inspiring and personal work of art. The tone is gently encouraging, reminding us that we are all artists on the inside, even if it's been a while since we've made art. VERDICT The combination of inspiration and technique make this an excellent choice for both new and seasoned art journalers, as well as scrapbookers interested in exploring art journal techniques.--Nanette Donohue, Champaign P.L., IL
