Book Description
Creative souls want and need a special place for recording and decoding their interior world -- a place to download all their creative ideas, a place to remember the events of the day, or a place to doodle, to draw, and to dream. This book is for all these people -- it's an engaging and intimate glimpse into the personal pages of a wide variety of select artists and journal keepers whose works not only provide visual delight and inspiration but evidence the intensity and devotion that such personal journals invite.

Awesome resource.......2007-09-13
This book is very practical, and I go back to it again and again. I'm fairly new to art journaling, and this book is great because there are a LOT of examples and easy-to-understand instructions for each one. I expect to be using this book as one of my main resources for a long time. It's a book I can grow into.
:).......2007-05-30
this book is so good. I've been journaling for 5 years now and this is a great idea book. Happy to add this to my colection.
my creative process.......2007-05-06
I make journals and I do collage artwork, but I have never put the two together. Lynne's book was the bridge between these two for me.
Beautiful pictures.......2007-03-10
I purchased this book as an "instruction" book; but there is not a lot of instructions in it. The pictures are beautiful though and if you have the creativity to make things from a picture, this book is fine.
A good learning book.......2007-01-12
I enjoy this book and find it encouraging to work in similar ways in my journal. I have showed it to many of my artist friends and they agree with me. I have been an artist in collage for 35 years and always enjoy others views on collage and color and this book fills the bill. Barbara R.
Book Description
In Create Your Own Artist's Journal, Erin O'Toole helps artists capture those fleeting moments of inspiration and beauty that compel them to create. She begins by showing them how to observe and record what they see; composing images that come alive with color and movement.
O'Toole also discusses the materials involved in keeping a journal, and offers advice for finding interesting subjects, painting from memory and improvising sketches as a scene changes. Finally, she provides guidelines for compiling a portable journaling "kit" that artists can take with them anywhere!

Lovely Nature-Sketching Guide.......2003-08-22
In Create Your Own Artist's Journal, Erin O'Toole opens her hand-made journals and tells how you can create one too. This North Light art book is packed with large format color illustrations (she uses pencil, pen, colored pencil, watercolor and gouache) and tips for drawing and painting, page layout and even establishing a routine of sketching. Mrs. O'Toole includes ideas for materials and suggestions for the kit to carry with you when you sketch away from home. There are recommendations for color; tips for drawing specific subjects: houses, people, animals, etc. and sections on sharing your artwork in print or over the internet (she gives scanner settings). This book reminds me of Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady which Mrs. O'Toole recommends. She also suggests other favorite titles.

Roland Hilder is Britain's best-known living landscape painter, and in this book, we see that his sketches are even more remarkable and appealing than his finished works.
Customer Reviews:
invaluable resource.......2007-08-20
I have owned this book since it was published many years ago and I have used it for information for my own work and to teach from. The information on the materials and techniqes of oil painting is concise and easy to follow. There are many great ilustrations of processes, tools and procedures that cannot be found in any other book.
Book Description
On the pages of a personal sketchbook, aspiring artists can experiment fearlessly, perfect techniques, and gather a unique source of material they can always draw upon. A superb collection of more than 300 sketches by an acclaimed artist inspires with an intimate approach to producing images of people, animals, interiors, landscapes, and architecture; each has a description of methods and materials, and its background story. Every theme includes one polished piece with its preliminary sketches--displaying the artistic process from start to finish.
Customer Reviews:
Truly Inspirational.......2006-03-27
A book that motivates you to fill your sketchbook with subjects you can find all around you.
Included are recommendations for sketching materials and even instructions for making your own sketchbook.
The book is filled with sketches and the techniques used. Tips are also scattered throughout. Topics covered: people, animals and birds, the interior, landscape and architecture.
Fabulous Artist.......2004-06-02
Albany is a wonderful artist, the book description is accurate, but doesn't tell you how good this guy really is. Not only does he demonstrate various techniques, his sketches and drawings are truly masterful and provide tremendous inspiration for where you can go as an artist or illustrator. This is another book I use for examples to provide my students and as a guide for myself in my own sketchbook journals.

Excellant Intro Text.......2001-08-19
The fashion business is exciting, stimulating, fascinating! Because it is also ever-changing, we have developed Fashion Merchandising: An Introduction, Fifth Edition, to provide a structured learning process to help students discover the innovation and challenges of today's fashion business. Fashion Merchandising: An Introduction, Fifth Edition, reflects the survey nature of an introductory course by covering all the interdependent levels of the fashion business so that students can be made aware of the many careers in fashion. The concepts and practices developed are equally applicable to the . rikerchandising of all fashion-influenced goods, although the text treats them largely in terms of men's, women's, children's apparel and accessories. To keep our readers current in the most recent happenings in the fashion business, each chapter concludes with a discussion of the latest developments and upcoming trends.
This fifth edition provides hundreds of new upto-date examples and illustrations. In addition, the text has been substantially rewritten to sharpen its focus on fashion and to allow space for expanded material on: (1) the business of fashion, (2) domestic and foreign markets, (3) the impact of technology on each level of fashion, and (4) the global sourcing that is so important to the internationalization of fashion.
Fashion Merchandising???.......2000-12-04
Working as a Retail/Wholesale Merchandiser in the fashion industry I was expecting an indepth analysis of the theory of what I do. The actual process of getting the right product in the right place at the right time i.e Range Plans, Line Projections, Open to Buy etc etc. However, the book is far too basic, living up to the "introduction" part of the title.
The book would be ideal for those just starting out in the fashion industry, but not for those who have experience that they are trying to consolidate.

Customer Reviews:
Good primer on the high-level process.......2007-04-16
The pros:
- This book describes the high-level buying process for condos and co-ops.
- Gives good overview of closing costs.
The cons:
- I later found almost all of the information I used in this book on-line.
- Advice is mostly high-level and generic. This info is still useful, however, if you're completely new (as I was) to the New York market.
- No advice on how to find recent comparable condo/co-op sale info in New York.
- Little to no advice on the negotiating process.
- The chapter on how to decide if it's better to rent or buy is completely stacked in favor of buying. For example, the author fails to mention the 6% broker's fee you're going to incur when you sell your place (unless you choose to sell it on your own). He also fails to compare buying a house (which he correctly notes is a highly leveraged investment) to the returns of similarly risky and leveraged investments in other assets (e.g. stock portfolios bought on margin). He also fails to mention how much money you're likely to have to spend updating and upgrading your home to be able to sell it for a price you're happy with.
- Much less advice regarding selling than buying (silver lining: knowing some of the advice the author gives to sellers - e.g. how to sell a dark apartment - can be useful to buyers as well)
The Book I Always Recommend To Friends.......2006-11-28
This book is short and to the point. If you learn and understand what's in here, you'll know more than 90% of the real estate brokers out there!
Walks you through the basics of the process, each step of the way.
