Tamara Laporte is a celebrated mixed-media artist and art teacher who has been running her own creative business, willowing.org, since late 2008. Since then, she has become a creative catalyst for thousands of artists. Her work, which can be described as “mixed-media folk art meets magical realism,” ranges from whimsical children’s illustrations to more stylised fantasy art. Symbolism and layering play a big part in her work, and her paintings often contain healing themes, uplifting messages, and inspirational poetry. Tamara believes that the act of creating art can be a gateway into healing and personal growth. Her art classes often contain an element of self-development along with instruction on art techniques. She is deeply devoted to helping people get in touch with their creative fire, and works tirelessly to bring uplifting, nourishing, creative, and empowering content to her amazing tribe of thousands. The author of the best-selling Create Your Life Book, Tamara's work has been featured in many art magazines, books, and media outlets. She runs a variety of popular art classes on her ning network, which has more than 24,500 members and grows by 150–200 mixed-media enthusiasts each month. She lives in Devon, UK.
What is holding you back? Where do you want to go? Let go of the past! Use these expressive exercises to help you recognize your personal challenges and other obstacles, then work through them. Let go of limiting beliefs, find courage, feel gratitude, heal pain, and develop self-love as you playfully create.
Each themed chapter presents four to five two-part projects. First, you will explore a common issue that hampers creativity and/or positive self-worth. The second portion is a step-by-step mixed-media art project designed to help you work through that issue. Just a few of the explorations:
- Let go of what no longer serves you by taking stock of what’s holding you back, then create a zentangle butterfly to symbolize you flying away from those limiting things.
- Embrace and love your inner quirky bird by taking an inventory of your quirky traits, then create a bird that celebrates them.
- Heal old wounds by writing a letter to yourself as a child, then create a house to keep your inner child safe.
Steeped in inspirational images and uplifting affirmations, Create Your Life Book can help you achieve both personal and creative growth.
Best mixed media book ever! If you are interested in mixed media, self discovery or art, BUY THIS BOOK. I have about 50 art books and none of them are as meaty, raw and full of instruction as this one. I’ve had it for a couple weeks and I still haven’t got through it all. This will be an amazing gift for new moms, divorce, marriage, loss of loved one, graduation....any life changing event. I can’t even draw a stick figure but a pretty little face dropped out of my pencil after following this books instruction! I am smitten with this book. You will not regret buying this!!I really like Tamara LaPorte so this review is difficult to write I really like Tamara LaPorte so this review is difficult to write. I've taken several of her online classes, and have been involved in lifebook online. That said, I would be hard-pressed to recommend this book to someone who is looking to begin mixed media art. If you are a fan of Tam and her work and you just want to support her then by all means purchase this book. However if you are a new or burgeoning artist, and you want actual instruction, this is not the book for you. This book is more suited for people who have taken one of Tam's online classes or have access to her videos.The instructions are vague and the book serves more as an advertisement for taking her $100 to $300 classes online than it does an actual instructional book. Most of the pictures in the book seem to be still photographs taken directly from instructional videos, and are not exactly helpful in teaching you to actually draw the face or Draw the feather or Draw whatever. There's not a lot of actual instruction but there are lots of inspirational photos, Buddhist references, and there's a lot of photos of the successful work of many of her students. Keep in mind those students did not learn from this book but instead from her online classes which have videos, PDFs, and other resources that guide you to learn to draw in Her Style along with lots of personal interaction with others who have taken these courses before.I would have to say again that if you actually want to learn to draw and you've never taken one of her online classes with the videos and instructions this book is not going to help you very much on your path. It's a shame because this was a real opportunity to give a chance to learn an interesting and unique Style to people who simply cannot afford to take the lifebook class. Future versions should consider including a DVD of at least a few techniques or maybe how to draw the face.Freaking FANTASTIC!!!!!!! I don’t usually tend to leave reviews, but this book deserves to be reviewed. This much anticipated and long long awaited book is finally in my paint covered hands!!!! I bought this on pre-order months ago when Tam announced the release of her book and have anxiously been waiting for it’s release. I finally got it in the mail yesterday and I have read it cover to cover twice.I have been taking LifeBook with Tam since 2012 when she first started her LifeBook workshop. If you have been on the fence about taking an online workshop or class, I highly highly recommend taking the LifeBook course for any artist whether you are brand new to mixed media or have been doing mixed media for a while. But this review is about the book now isn’t it?!?This book is awesome from cover to cover with lots of beautiful color, beautiful artwork and easy to follow tutorials of some of Tam’s best works, along with projects from some other wonderful mixed media artists.... Mystele Kirkeeng, Ivy Newport, Effy Wild, Andrea Gomall, Alena Hennessy, and Roxanne Coble. (All of these artists have participated in the LifeBook course over the years) Tam takes you on a wonderful journey of self-love, self-discovery, self-acceptance, and healing through meditation, art and creativity. I love that she touches on supplies she loves use and what supplies will be used throughout the book, but doesn’t overwhelm you or whack you over the head with them.There are lots of step by step photos in the tutorials which will be especially helpful for those who are new to mixed media. For those who have taken any of Tam’s classes will have seen many of the projects she does throughout the book. That said, even if you have taken Tam’s classes, this book is definitely a must have for your art arsenal!!This book will not disappoint!!!! I would definitely recommend it, and I’m even going to buy this book for a few of my mixed media friends!!!
