review 1: I love all the pictures and projects. I was very anxious to try the ten-minute journal. I am not familiar with watercolor paper, and I didn't know which weight of paper to buy and the book suggest a weight(s). I purchased what I thought was a thinner/lighter weight. When I went to fold it multiple times I had problems and paper's folds became too thick, and I couldn't fold it. I placed a sack of flour on the fold to help fold the the paper but eventually, I gave up and I scored the paper along the folds and separated in thirds and prepared the pages this way and then recombined the pages. I'll try to find a thinner/lighter weight next time, if available, or maybe just stick to alternating old books. Other than that, I do enjoy the book very much
review 2:... more> "It is your excitement about materials, colors, and textures, your enthusiasm when you see work you like and ooh, you want to run home and do it, too. This makes you an artist."Suzi BluI'm not, and I do not want to be, a mixed-media collage artist, but I found the artists stories about inspiration and motivation encouraging. It is this simple: 1. Find little bits of time. 2. Play less
