Excellent And Visually Stunning
Using a variety of formats, collaborative art projects result in wonderfully
complex pieces, and often provide the glue between artists within a
community. Heavy on visual inspiration, Collaborative Art Journals and
Shared Visions in Mixed Media covers various organizational structures for
collaborative art projects, offers instructions and tips for organizing such
ventures, and includes interviews with organizers and participants of
collaborative projects, as well as a healthy smattering of techniques
including how to create books that can be added to as they travel and how
to devise various binding structures for different paper projects.

Personal Review: Collaborative Art Journals and Shared
Visions in Mixed Media by LK Ludwig
As soon as I saw this book hit the blogosphere I knew I was going to have
to get my grubby mitts on a copy. Something about knowing several of the
contributing artists really makes it mean that much more. But just looking
at all the pictures was enough to make me drool anyway. So I tapped my
toe and watched the street for a week. The poor UPS man probably
thought I was going to tackle him when it came in. But it was well worth the
wait.
And if you've ever taken part in an art collaboration, you might be thinking
to yourself that it's quite fitting, as well. Every few weeks you send off your
contribution and wait for the next package to arrive for you to add your
personal touch to it. That's what this book is all about. Collaborative Art
Journals and Shared Visions in Mixed Media by LK Ludwig features details
of past collaborations, Inner-views with artists, projects to do (!!!), and even
a Flickr group with a reader invitation.
I found the photos inspiring - not the same old thing we've seen before. I
liked the fact that there were actually projects in addition to the eye-candy.
And having hosted and stitched my little fingers to shreds on the very first
Fiberfest Fatbooks, I was tickled pink to see them still alive and well and in
print. :) Oh, and there aren't just journals, either. There are postcards,
fatbooks, altered books, inchies, art dolls, and more.
This book will join my permanent art library as one of those books to take
down time and again for a creative shot in the arm. I give it two paint-
stained thumbs up.
