I don’t, normally, recommend books but I enjoyed this one so much I can’t help but suggest you take a look. If, you are into art, this is a woman who can express so much emotion, so simply, it touched my soul…..I kid you, not!
This is not a newly published book, it came out in 2001. Sabrina Ward Harrison has published four books, I believe. The first book, Spilling Open, was published when she was around 20 years old.
The whole book is written in Sabrina’s hand drawn calligraphy and is a very easy, quick read about a trip she took to Italy, by herself with a back pack, when she was in her early twenties. It is about regrouping and experiencing life…simply.
How’s this for a daily journal/diary! I would love to be able to achieve that kind of controlled, planned messiness without it looking contrived.
Example of simple with just a touch of detail and texture.
Beautiful sense of color and design.
Now, you know what I like…..how about you, have you read any of Sabrina's books? What did you think of them? It is O.K. if you aren’t as enthused as I am, I like to know what you really think.

Never heard of author but after reading your post it sure does look like worth reading.
Thank you.
I like to hear about books new to me and she is talented, I can see.
Thanks for sharing this. Her work looks inspiring and right up "our" alley!
Sweet Blessings!
I bought her first book, Spilling Open, about 6 years ago, as I was just getting into art again...and it completely opened my eyes to a new kind of art and journaling. I love how she made her journal so personal and interesting, and uniquely her own. I found out she has a new book coming out next year, and it is already on my wish list :-)
Thanks for the review on this one...I might have to put it on my wish list too!
I think Santa is bringing this to me!!!
