Villard, 2001
Wonderful Book...
+ Self-discovery is the most important thing
I had Spilling Open and decided to search Amazon for any other books. I found Brave on the Rocks. I think Sabrina is unique and very talented.

This book is like a breath of fresh air!!! It has a magic in a very heart felt story and its intriguing surrealistic symbolism.

How to Keep a Sketchbook Journal 11 reviews Claudia Nice
North Light Books, 2001
The Mistress of Pen & Ink!
+ Beautiful book + Very enjoyable and nice tips...
This book not only has great ideas for sketchbook journals, but wonderful detailed lessons on pen & ink work and watercolor techniques. I wouldn't say it was directed at beginning artists, thought. This is more geared to drawing & painting than actual journaling.
