Order this now! Fantastic book. M Shea I buy many, many art books and mostly mixed media oriented topics -- and I am picky, and I don't often review books. But this book is worth more than 5 stars to me. Everything about it is wonderful and I think it is a perfect combination of attractive (to me) projects and techniques. Although it is step by step technique, it isn't a "make this" crafty project book nor do I find myself not finding the techniques approachable. I am excited to dive in and see where it takes me. Wow is all I can say --- and I hope to someday take an in-person workshop with Jodi.. "Great book for mixed media ideas!!" according to Amazon Super Shopper. This is a great book on working with mixed media. I got some really good ideas and they are very good at telling you what supplies you will need.. A MUST HAVE! KIM M. The layout, instruction, and pictures of progress are all put together nicely! If you're thinking about trying abstract, this book will be a great help!
