    Love this book. It inspired the work I have made for my students too. I got it to encourage mindfulness and seeing the world in a different way and it succeeded.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 July 2012

    You know what I love about this book? The fact that it reinforces my belief that there's a pace for everyone in this world, even if you happen to be someone who likes making art from found objects which some might think rubbish (the objects and the art they are used to create). I love Keri Smith for her authenticity and for seeing beauty in the mundane. In this book there are loads of mini projects to stimulate your thinking. Perfect for those of us who live in an urban environment.

    Expand your horizons with the ideas and images in this book that will have you outdoors for hours using "all your eyes", as Jules Verne says. Interspersed with quotes, this book sparks the imagination in ways you may not have anticipated.
