    I love using poetry in my mixed media projects, so I was really hoping to see some examples of that in this book. Unfortunately, there wasn’t any. There really was no direction on how to incorporate poetry and words into mixed media pictures. There was quite a few ideas, which I appreciated, but I felt the name was a bit misleading.

    Instead, there was “poetry” in the form of tips about basically how to improve your life and do nice things with your art and art supplies. Some suggestions were donating old craft books or writing a letter to someone, for example. Good ideas, but not exactly what the title of this book suggests.

    Still, the book offers some good ideas for mixed media projects, and if you’re looking for just that you’ll enjoy it.

    Katie’s charisma, artistic skill and years of contemplative study shine through this book. If you are looking for precise technique this may not be the book for you. This book, for me, is a creative catalyst, a colorful, soulful vitamin for my muse. Katie offers many new and unusual ways to play with creativity from the inside out. Laced with meaning and prompts for self inquiry, filled with gorgeous photos, and page after page of permission to explore my authentic style, it is deepening my relationship to my own self expression.

    I just purchase this book around February the 1st and i just love this book so much. I love the way poetry is woven together in painting. Painting and poetry is are just one and Katie Kendrick painting techniques are right on being that I’m still a beginner when it comes to painting. Very powerful book and i will recommend this book to anyone who is new to mixed- media art.
