Rating: - Inspiration, Techniques & Invaluable Insight to the Soul!Hands-down, not a doubt left in my mind - this is my favorite new mixed-media release in the last few years. The topic is ingenious - and one that was never truly explored, until now. Cate Coulacos Prato did an amazing job with this brilliant book - with a wide range of diverse contributors, projects & and creative exercises - even the biggest skeptic will be lured into creating their own self-portrait. Though I was a part of this book - I didn't truly know what to expect until it arrived; ... Read More
