Product Description
Product Description
A 'best of' collection of pages from the 1000 Journals Project, where 1000 blank journals were randomly circulated for people to draw, paint, collage, and otherwise fill the pages of the journals. The journals have reached all 50 states and 35 countries, drawing on a broad demographic of people, cultures, and perspectives. This is artistic journaling for the common man, where people were able to express themselves without reservations about their artistic expertise and run the gamut of simple sketches to complex embroidery and collage.
About the Author

This is a beautiful, beautiful book. I picked it up curiously in a bookstore the other day and from the moment I opened it I was hooked. I sat in the store for two hours looking through the whole thing from cover to cover.
It is full of glimpses into peoples lives, views of their joys and sorrows and their amazing creativity. There are all types of creations, some very simple, and some that are incredibly intricate and detailed, the one thing they have in common is that they are all stunning.
This is a book I am going to be buying for myself as soon as I can. It is pure inspiration.

Quite simply, this is a beautiful book. I loved the snapshot it gives you into other people's lives and minds. It encompasses the need we all have to express ourselves. Each page is highly individual. It is the kind of book that you can randomly delve into for inspiration. It is also ideal for the voyeurs out there who want a visual glimpse of other lives. This is a collection of journal pages from all corners of the world and from all kinds of people. fascinating!

I remebered this project getting off the ground and followed it with interest for some time hoping one of the journals would come to NZ. I saw that one did make it to middle earth then dissapeared- so dissapointed but not to worry I was delighted with the bound copy which is a selection from many of the first journals back, some little surpirises in the book too like stitching and although some of the work was a bit strange to me it was an entry someone was proud to put their name to. Its a flick through (coffee table) book and many friends have taken a few minutes to browse and comment, quite a converstaion starter. The smaller size (bit bigger than A5) is appropriate to the work inside and its bound pretty well so will take a lot of handling. I am very pleased with this purchase

Disappointed
I think that I must have a different book to the other reviewers- mine isn't beautiful at all.
It's a great concept, but doesn't fulfil its potential. Read more
