Reviews for Taking Flight

a little technique, a lot of self-help
This is a lot more self-help than instructional. If your creative self needs a bit of push or inspiration, Taking Flight would be a great book for you. Kelly Rae Roberts shares her thoughts and feelings, describes how she overcame her fears and struggles to embrace a creative life. Her writing is very personal, touching and warm and is well complemented by her interviews of other artists - more inspiration for seeking the "sacred" for an unordinary life.
The words are inspiring and the techniques featured very well-illustrated though not new or unusual. Roberts incorporates the works of the guest artists featured very well by using some of their ideas and techniques in the projects. Among the more interesting I found are the use of gold leaf, and of polymer clay to create embellishments and forms for artworks.
Overall, a soaring flight for inspiration but not a spectacular take-off if you're looking for directions on actually making art. by liberal sprinkles
