The perfect inspiration for Art Journalers
I've had the best day reading Kasia's book cover to cover and it definitely lives up to my expectations. It's full to the brim of inspirational photographs of Kasia's art journal pages, mood board walls, pretty arrangements of art materials and stacks of filled books... it's just beautiful. Like other art journal books it has great introductory pages about choosing your journal and materials, followed by lots of step by step lessons. What makes this book special is the writing. It encourages you to make a start but is also understanding and sympathetic to what is stopping you. I identified with the story of Kasia's Mother and her years of not creating because life got in the way. Kasia knows we compare ourselves to everyone else on Instagram and don't feel good enough. Her words make you feel like she is hugging you, telling you it's OK, you can do this, I'm here to help you. If you've never filled an art journal before, this is the book you need to get started. If you started and stopped this is the book to bring you back. If, like me, you've art journaled for years and never stopped or if you know Kasia and are a Wanderlust Adventurer, then you will love every page of this book and will be drooling over the pictures and never have a creative block again.

Brilliant book.
Once in a while I may come across a book that just hits all the right notes and this is one of them. It has so much inspiration for art journaling, but more than that, it comes with heart-felt experience from the author. Each page has colourful photos and ideas and is packed with the inspiration I needed to kick start me back into mixed media art. Thank you, to the author, for sharing the ideas and personal experiences that have created this book. Highly recommended.

Great book
A lovely put together book easy to dip in and out of. Some great tips for working with mixed media or art journalling. You can take what works for you and leave what doesn't. Even if you don't do the art projects the photos in this book are lovely to look at and can inspire your art. I would recommend this for anyone but especially beginners or those looking to get back into art or something creative.

Bring your inner artist to life - we all have one!
I’m so glad I stumbled across this book. It’s beautifully curated and a delight for the senses with colourful images throughout. It’s for the person wanting to start but n doesn’t know how or where but also for the creative that might be plagued with self criticism, finding time and/or perfectionism tendencies (yes to all of them!)I’m always creating and wanted ideas on how to create a journal that was both written and had room and space for my art. This book offers many ideas and suggestions but many invitations to join in and play.I know this a book I will pick up again and again and recommend and gift to others. Very happy with my purchase and hope you delight in its joyful pages too.

Release your inner artist !
This is a lovely, honest book that shares the authors thoughts, processes and emotions through her artistic journey and creative journals. It is a wonderful, freeing starting point for anyone wishing to start their own artistic journey but also has lots of tips and techniques to offer a more experienced artist. Kasia's style and advice helps you develop confidence as you work though the projects in the book which also contains insights and examples from the artists who teach on Kasia's 'Wanderlust' courses.This book can be read from cover to cover or dipped into for inspiration and technical advice. Either way, a great read !
