Wide Open: Inspiration & Techniques for Art Journaling on the Edge This book has a special focus on observation. Instead of encouraging the reader to sit in a coffee house & journal about a favourite memory, the author will encourage them to sit in the coffee house & take note of what they see, & how sitting at a particular table makes them feel, right then & there. Its very much about being in the moment. Each card in this deck will focus on a technique that goes beyond the norm (such as experimenting with photo decay) & encourages artists & writers to explore an edgier side to their work. Cards are divided into categories such as my body, other artists & new ways with text. The accompanying notebook has blank space for the reader to record observations, as well as colourful artwork & inspirational"es & prompts sprinkled throughout the pages.
