As I mentioned in a previous post, I had asked the question, "What is your favorite art/craft book?" There were lots of great suggestions and I thought I'd compile them into one big list (in several parts) in case you're a book junkie like I am!
The Art Journal Workshop by Traci Bunkers
From Amazon: "With beautiful illustrations, The Art Journal Workshop breaks down the entire working process of journaling with step-by-step photos and instructions from start to finish. You'll learn how to use different media such as paint, photographs, and collage, while following journaling prompts and exercises to help you dig deeper and enrich the journaling process and experience. Traci Bunkers discusses the benefits of visual journaling, and walks you through battling a creative funk when you're feeling down or uninspired."
Another of Traci's books that was recommended is Print & Stamp Lab.
From Amazon:"Artist and popular workshop instructor Traci Bunkers can turn just about anything into an interesting stamp, printing block, or tool. In this book, she shows readers how to see overlooked, everyday objects in a new way, and how to 'MacGyver' them into easy to use printing blocks and tools."
Mixed Media Explorations by Beryl Taylor
From Amazon: "With a sense of humor and creative abandon, this guide shows how surprisingly easy it is to turn fabric, paper, stitch, and embellishment into artistic treasures to keep and share."
Paper Quilts by Sandra Lounsbury Foose
From Amazon: "Fascinating us with their playful complexity and geometric precision, patchwork quilts have an appeal that has endured for centuries. Offering a new look at this age-old craft, Paper Quilts brings the beauty of traditional American patchwork to papercutters, with patterns and beloved quilt block designs adapted for paper cards, gift tags, ornaments, boxes, and garlands."
Paper Quilting by Bridget Hoff
From Amazon: "This beautiful book is a delight to the eyes, but it is also a wonderful aid to anyone looking for a creative outlet that is simple, enjoyable, and yields breathtaking results."
The New Creative Artist by Nita Leland
From Amazon: "Perfect for fans of the original – and anyone who wants to be more creative – this book includes: a fresh, eye-catching design that showcases 50 percent new material; new instruction to address the creative challenges of today's artist; more than 60 fun, fabulous activities for achieving greater creativity; and artwork in a wide variety of styles and mediums. It includes practical advice combined with inspiring exercises and insights from other artists that make this the ultimate creativity guide!"
Nita Leland is also the co-author of recommended book, Creative Collage Techniques. Her co-author is Virginia Williams.
From Amazon: "Collage is a fine art combination of paper and shape, color and texture, imagination and vision. This book can help you bring all of these together in one beautiful creation. Here you'll see magnificent collages by leading artists who show you—in step-by-step demonstrations—how to begin, how to design, how to apply collage techniques in exciting ways."
Doodle Stitching by Aimee Ray
From Amazon: "Begin by learning several styles for outlining, filling, decorating, and appliqué. Find out about floss, fancy threads, fabrics, and needles. Get the scoop on hoops, and the lowdown on transferring your very own designs onto every type of fabric. The fresh ideas, witty patterns, and clever color illustrations take stitchers from novice to accomplished in a blink of the eye!"
Creative Wildfire by L.K. Ludwig
From Amazon: "This lush, visual book is a must-have volume for both beginning and experienced art journalers. Each chapter presents crucial, basic information for how to get started, and is layered with in-depth sidebars and activities covering advanced techniques, approaches to working, as well as interviews with well-known journaling artists. The book comes with a beautiful blank journal in a take-along size (made from paper upcycled from the printing process), ready to catch your daily inspirations."
Another L.K. Ludwig book that was mentioned is True Vision.
From Amazon: "True Visions is focused on ways to bring authenticity and meaning into one's art journaling. The book will examine themes and topics common to all while offering activities and exercises to create rich meaningful content. Each chapter will highlight familiar subject areas such as life events, spirituality, childhood, and even an artist's favorite writings."
Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards
From Amazon: "Translated into more than seventeen languages, Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain is the world's most widely used drawing instruction book. Whether you are drawing as a professional artist, as an artist in training, or as a hobby, this book will give you greater confidence in your ability and deepen your artistic perception, as well as foster a new appreciation of the world around you."
We DARE You by Kristina Contes, Meghan Dymock, Nisa Fiin, and Genevieve Simmonds
From Amazon: "Scrapbookers are always looking for ways to push their art, and participating in challenges is one great way to do that. The most popular and inspiring challenges are the "dares" that the authors of this book post on their blog and on Two Peas in a Bucket. These dares explore more than just trendy new materials, they get to the heart of the participants with challenges that really make them think–about what makes them happy or proud or filled with regret."
A Compendium of Curiosities by Tim Holtz
From Amazon: "Get ready to embark on a journey filled with ideas and inspirations to spark your creative curiosities. This book is a compilation of tim's thought and ideas to guide you through your own artistic adventures."
And Tim's second book, Compendium of Curiosities II was also named as a favorite.
From Amazon: "A new Compendium of Curiosities from Tim Holtz, filled with new ideas, new product, new techniques to spark your creativity. Again, much like Volume I, this book is not your typical 'how to' book, but is technique driven, so you can learn and apply these new techniques however you decide."
Kaleidoscope: Ideas and Projects to Spark Your Creativity by Suzanne Simanaitis
From Amazon: "Indulge your creative cravings! Explore dozens of stories, exercises and instructive projects, all designed to feed, encourage and sometimes flex your creative muscle. You'll tap into the joy of drawing, be encouraged to create art in bed, create your own folded-paper shrine, discover the liberation of stream-writing, practice idea brainstorming, make your own duct-tape purse, learn to quiet the negative voice in your head, dream up your own creative studio space and much, much more."
Paper Metal Stitch by Maggie Grey
From Amazon: "This timely project guide concentrates on two of the key materials being newly incorporated into textiles and fiber arts—paper and metal. Both media are covered in separate sections that describe the unique properties of each, as well as textural methods, adding color, and embellishing with stitches."
Embroidered Books by Isobel Hall
From Amazon: "Books with embroidered bindings and covers can be true works of art—treasured heirlooms to be handed down for generations. Now all needleworkers can master this traditional craft with the help of these detailed instructions and patterns. The projects combine several binding methods—including wrap-up and zig-zag books—with a range of exquisite embroidery designs, from a Wild West—themed wallet book to an intricately bound volume strewn with flower petals."

I have read Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain and found it extremely interesting. I used it when teaching my children art when we were homeschooling. I cannot say I draw any better but I do understand from the book that I need to pay attention to cues from the right side of my brain.

Nita Leland: The New Creative Artist is surely good. I have had her first book forever and still grab it to take when I have waiting time somewhere. It shows its favoritism by all the notes in it!
Betty Edwards, Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain is a must for anyone teaching creative skills. I taught children and adults for years and it was a must reading.
Creative Collage Techniques has long been in my library and is a great reference book.
Thank you for this post, I found it very helpful and I am looking forward to getting some of these books.

I have read (and owned) five of these, so guess I’m a book junkie too! I’m surprised no one has mentioned Journal Revolution by Linda Woods and Karen Dinino.

I have both of Traci Bunker’s books. The Art Journal Workshop was very helpful when I first started art journaling. But Print & Stamp Lab has been the most helpful over time. It has lots of good ideas for making stamped images without spending a lot of money. Couldn’t do without my flipflops.

I bought drawing on the right side of the brain when I had my first art lesson 24 years ago. The exercises were fascinating….I really must dig it out again for another look!

I have mixed Media Explorations by Beryl Taylor, which is a lovely book full of inspiration. I also have Doodle Stitching by Aimee Ray, while in itself a good book but also a little disappointing in that it didn’t have a lot about the free-form stitching designs as indicated by the cover illustration, which I don’t think is referred to except for another small photo of it inside.

I have had “Drawing on the Right side of the Brain” for many years, and also did a course based on the book. Turns out I could draw after all! It takes a little effort to follow it through, but the shift in thinking is totally worth it! Also have Traci’s’ Art Journal Workshop – Love it… but I use it more for inspiration and haven’t sat down and worked through the exercises yet. Thanks for making these lists, gives me some great ideas for what I need to round out my bookshelf 🙂

I have both of the Tim Holtz books and LOVE them. I love that they show how the techniques work, but aren’t a “how to create” a certain item etc.. You learn the various mediums and techniques and go to work creating what you want. Love the illustrations too.

I have Traci Bunkers “Art Journal: Work-Shop. I am very new to this medium of crafting and this book has been a god send. I love the pages, the font, the overall appearance and feel of the book. It has a detailed list of materials which has been extremely useful. This book also includes a DVD of projects Traci does in the book. I only wish the DVD was more of a tutorial. I highly recommend this book for anyone into this medium of Art. It is especially helpful to Newbies like myself. Traci takes you on a visual journey with the great descriptions, and amazing photos. This has been one of my best buys EVER!!! It’s never far from reach.

I have quite a few of the books from this list and have enjoyed them all. Anything by Maggie Grey is great. How she creates the elements in her designs continually fascinates me. LK Ludwig’s books are great jumping off boosters. I have made several books based on ideas I found in her books. Nita Leland’s books are great. She presents techniques and ideas in a very clear way that made me unafraid to try new things. Beryl Taylor’s book got me hooked on making fabric paper. From that jumping off place, I have made many creations. And got a few other people hooked on making and using fabric paper. And lastly Tim’s books. I have been following along with Studio L3’s Compendium of Curiosities challenge to try all the techniques in book2 and have learned some new things. Great book lists Julie.

I have quite a few of the books from this list and have enjoyed them all. Anything by Maggie Grey is great. How she creates the elements in her designs continually fascinates me. LK Ludwig’s books are great jumping off boosters. I have made several books based on ideas I found in her books. Nita Leland’s books are great. She presents techniques and ideas in a very clear way that made me unafraid to try new things. Beryl Taylor’s book got me hooked on making fabric paper.

Traci’s ‘Print & Stamp Lab’ was a real eye opener/hit forehead and say “Doh!” book for me. So many every day objects make fab textures and stamps. I have had lots of fun making monoprints since reading her book.

I worked a lot with Beryl Taylor’s book on making fabric paper and Betty Edwards’s book on drawing. I can only recommend these books. The one that intrigues me on your list is “Embroidered books”. Does it teach to make such lovely book covers? I enjoy making my own sketchbooks and would love to learn how to make such beautiful covers….
