    Industry Reviews

    'Anybody who loved 'cutting and sticking' as a child will be thrilled with this book, which acts as a visual journal for you to add things that are meaningful to you, all through the medium of collage. It's essentially a scrap book for adults, but a rather beautiful and creative one. The pages themselves are highly decorative as they are, and each has plenty of space for you to stick things that you'd like to 'collage and keep'. The page prompts vary from 'what path are you on?' to 'create your own tiny world', with plenty of inspiration in between.'


    'Eleanor Shakespeare's innovative book encourages you to keep an interactive, visual diary that explores your personal experiences and ambitions through the medium of collage . . . A book to get you thinking as well as creating'
