"Making Journals by Hand:
20 Creative Projects for Keeping Your Thoughts"
by Jason Thompson

Paperback; 128 pages; 200 color images

This book is not a how-to with extensive instructional chapters. It's more of a collection of inspiring journals, pictures and simple techniques for journalers, diarists and book artists. The books profiled in "Making Journal's... are beautifully photographed and inspiring. There are intimate photographs of Lorikay Ludwigs "October" journal, (with photo emulsion lifts), Teesha & Tracy Moore's "Every Day Journals" (the same folks who publish "The Studio" 'zine), Juliana Cole's wonderfully elaborate, oversized and over-stuffed journals featuring her self portraits, Bruce Kremer's Travel Journals, Anne Wood's fun Recipe Journal, Ilira Steinman's Wax Resist Journals, and many more. More than 40 journalers are represented with over 100 journals photographed. Chapters focus on techniques such as "Solvent Transfers", "Wax Resist", "Carved Stamps" and "Paper Cutting." At the end of the book, you'll find a gallery of journals as well as a bibliography and resource chapter.
