About this product

Product Information

From the internationally bestselling creator of Wreck This Journal , a book that celebrates mistake- and mess-making like never before... Your whole life, you've been taught to avoid making a mess: try to keep everything under control, color inside the lines, make it perfect, and at all costs, avoid contact with things that stain. This book asks you to do the opposite of what you have been taught. Think of it as your own personal rumpus room. A place to let loose, to trash, to spew, to do the things you are not allowed to do in the "real world." There are only three rules you will find in this book: 1. Do not try to make something beautiful. 2. Do not think too much. (There is no "wrong.") 3. Continue under all circumstances. It's time to make a mess.

Reviews
Praise for  Mess " Mess  is incredible and offers a fun and safe form of stress relief through destruction. It's damn liberating." -- Wanders in Whim "Keri Smith's books encourage freehand art exploration and teach artists that accidents and experimentation can yield amazing and unexpected results." --The Carle Museum "Two things I love about Keri and her approach: 1) Keri  is  permission: to break away from my usual linear self and send it on vacation. 2) Keri  is  encouragement: to create what she calls a 'habit of experimentation' which can be so beneficial in living a full, creative life (and in learning new ways to tell our stories with words and photos)." --Ali Edwards, author of Life Artist "Once you get going, the book really becomes a source of liberation; it frees you to make a mess, stop thinking about the outcome and just enjoy the process. Let go. See what happens. And enjoy your complete disregard for the outcome. A great family activity." -- Family First Praise for Keri Smith "Keri Smith may well be the self-help guru this DIY generation deserves." -- The Believer "A conceptual artist and author luring kids into questioning the world and appreciating every smell, texture and mystery in it." -- TIME  Magazine

    Delightful

    I just got the book today, and I'm already enjoying it a ton! This book is a great way to think outside of the box, detox from stress, and broaden your creative horizons! I'm most likely going to purchase the other books from this author as well!

    Mess by Keri Smith

    I purchased this great book for my artistic sister who hated it when I wrote in her books when I was really young. She is a perfectionist and I thought I could kill two birds with one stone...awaken some of her creativity and discovery by trying some unusual experiments which allow her to mess things up instead of being perfect, and teaching her that sometimes books are tools and it's OK to write in them. The exercises looked like fun and some appeared to be wonderful jumping off points for other artistic pieces. So far, her pages are pristine, but I'm still hoping...!

    Love this book so much fun

    This is one of the more funner books that carry offers. I love the props in this book and it forces you to be very creative! Excellent for anybody with a writer's block or creative block. Or a mother daughter crafting time.
