About book How To Be An Explorer Of The World: Portable Life Museum (2008)
I was taken by a quote from this book, only later to find out its source. This is a manual/workbook of sorts that aids the reader to see the world more fully. It's objective is to get the reader to focus, for once, on the mundane, everyday objects in our world. The exercises it suggests are what we perhaps need as a reminder to not only stop and smell the roses, but to touch them, truly examine them and everything else. In this collection of inspirations, "everything is interesting.". this is a very frustrating book to find at the library.this is a "do, and see, and discover, and explore, and create, and put it all in one book" book. a "rip it apart, and put it all back to-gether in different pieces" book.a "buy me, now! and discover" book. with the quote "how to be an artist" on the back cover, you would think the book is aimed at.....artists. it is, but i see prompts for writing, and chances for collecting, as well. if you want to open up yourself to many different mediums, this is a great tome for you. and, when you're done, you can try other keri smith books like "wreck this journal" and "the guerilla art kit."

Some cool ideas but the graphics are disappointing. Other books on art journaling are better.
