Many people know they could benefit from the therapeutic act of journaling, but the dread of not knowing what to put on the page stops them. 'Visual Chronicles' provides a no-fear guide to expressing one's deepest self with art & words.

creative ideas nicely organized and described. Enough details to figure it out but not so many detailed steps to bore. ( )

I ordered this book from a catalogue and was a little disappointed that it turned out to be so basic and very much on the level of "here is how I created this very simple scrapbook page." ( )

Amy posted a great and enthusiastic review of this book in episode 32 of the Creative Mom podcast. It spurred me on to finally get this out of the library and read it. After reading several pages, I realized that I may have read this book before. It seemed very familiar, but I kept on. The tone of the book is good and I like the idea of two people working together to write the book. It is too project oriented for me, however. I would have liked more inspiration, whys and wherefores of what they do, what they are thinking and more guidance rather than step by step direction. As you know, I don't need projects. What I really need is a way to be inspired and have no fear on my own journals. I didn't find that they gave tips for moving on from their book. For art or visual journaling the adage to "Just Do It" doesn't seem to be working for me.

I asked myself if this was one of the first visual journaling books and found it to be strange that I really needed to know the context of this book.

One of the projects that I thought was interesting was the Personal Palette (pg.13). I like the idea of using shipping tags and making this to use in later work. I found, though, that I was unable to assign colors to people. I talked to my mom about this and asked her what color she associated with herself. She enthusiastically gushed "daffodil yellow." Then I asked her if she wanted to decorate her house and receive gifts in that color. She was adamant that she did not. Therein lies my dilemma. I really can't even think of what color I would assign myself.

The authors included a prompt page (pg.35), which did generate an idea for a Creative Prompt response. I ended up not using it (forgot, oops!), but think I may go back and use it again for a second response.

One of the projects is called "My Buttons" (pg.36) and explores the flaws in the maker's personality. My reaction to that is why? What would this type of project achieve outside of a therapy session?

The end of the book was more my speed. One section (starting on pg.92) talks about changing your routine. I call this "greeting the bus driver." I have found that small changes do make a difference in my outlook and, as a result, my creativity.

There are a number of things I like about this book. I like the supply lists, the project step outs as well as the design and layout of the book.

I don't know what I am looking for in these types of books, but I haven't found it yet. ( )

This book is intended for people who are not used to expressing themselves with "art". It is full of ideas for projects to get you started: artistic prompt journals, pet peeve journals, personal color palette journals, travel journals. None of which interested me.

There are some good ideas about using "ephemera", found objects, and materials that you already have on hand.. As well as suggestions for how to do art "on the go", while traveling or running errands. There is even a section on page composition. There is not much about altering books beyond the basic idea that you can saw books into different shapes and gesso the pages to put in your own content.

Some reviewers complained that this book was not really about "journaling" because it doesn't say much about deep understanding or personal reflection and growth. This book isn't about journaling as deep psychotherapy. This is about journaling as art therapy. It is less about introspection than about artistic expression. Some people are not deep and that is ok. Artistic expression is good for you even if you are shallow.

This is a pretty book full of cheerful encouragement not to be intimidated by "art" or "writing". It would be good for anyone who is intimidated by the idea of doing "art" who just needs gentle guiding hand to get started on the path of self expression. But really not for me. ( )

actually a bit elementary for me. however: if you're new to altered style books and art, this is a really great book for starting. It's not too cutesy and mainline--big on the creativity and how to basics without looking like mass-produced scrap book pages. I would highly recommend it to those who haven't yet mutilated a perfectly good book to turn it into art. ( )
