Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

After a successful career climbing the corporate ladder in Silicon Valley, marketing high-tech start ups and brands like IBM and Animal Planet, Traci left the corporate world to pursue her passion for art. 2011 marks the 10-year anniversary of launching her creative business endeavor treiC designs. Prior to becoming a full-time artist, she worked as a graphic designer, event planner, marketing director, professional cheerleader, elementary art teacher, fashion designer, and web designer—to name just a few positions. Experiences that she gained through these positions, coupled with her innate drive to explore and create without boundaries, are what contribute to her success as a mixed media artist. Her passion for sharing art has led her on a worldwide tour, teaching mixed media workshops in handmade books, art journaling, collage, art marketing, and surface design.

Traci is the author of the bestselling book, Collage Unleashed, and is currently working on her next book, Doodles Unleashed which will be released January 2012. Her art has been featured in over 15 art/mixed media books and 40 craft magazines, including Somerset Studio, Altered Couture, cloth.paper.scissors, Art Journaling, Art Quilting Studio, Belle Armoire, and Craft. Her column “Creativity Unleashed” was featured in Somerset Studio Magazine. She has been a regular guest on DIY/HGTV Craft Lab. Her creative business includes designing licensed product lines, Collage Pauge adhesive, and {kolLAJ} paper crafts. She has developed business partnerships with numerous craft manufacturers, and has built her online presence solely on her own, designing every aspect of her brand and marketing strategy.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book Full of Techniques!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    This book is wonderful. It is jam packed with a wonderful variety of printmaking techniques and lots of ideas and inspiration. I will be using it for inspiration in my art journals and mixed media art. Traci's art is fabulous and anyone who loves her art will likely love this book as well (and even if you've never seen her art before, I think you'll still love it!). I wish it was spiral-bound so it would lay flat--I wish ALL art technique books were! That's the only con to this book really is that it's not spiral-bound. But that's easy to overlook when it's so full of techniques and inspiration.

    I have only just recently purchased Printmaking Unleashed and Doodles Unleashed and I can tell you that Traci puts her heart and soul into them. The content is well laid out. There are tons of ideas and examples, and wonderful eye candy. I will purchase her 3rd book soon and any future books. If you are interested or already doing mixed media or art journaling I highly recommend these books from Traci Bautista.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Unleashing Ideas and Inspiration
    Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    This is a terrific book for ideas and inspiration. There are enough projects to keep anyone busy!

    On the whole, I love this book. When I first saw the sample pages of glue gun stencil and stamp samples, I was sold!

    However, I must add a small note to one of the project techniques I've tried. It is "Making Clay Plates." Using Crayola's Model Magic brand air-drying clay is easy. However, cleaning and washing paint off these "stamps" affects this clay. There is no mention of "washing" the paint off in the book, just wiping the paint off.

    Some of the photos of the textures on the clay are very hard to discern. The images show yellow Model Magic, with practically no details.

    There is a good You Tube video by "The Frugal Crafter," which shows how to make stamps using Sculpey's Bake and Bendable Clay. I've just bought some of that clay. Since it is a polymer clay, it will not be affected by water after baking and cooling.

    But reading these pages from the book inspired me to look at other ways of making my own stamps -- so all was not lost.

    I'm surprised the author didn't include foam plates -- which are a great way to recycle, draw and play with -- even if they are described in other books and videos. Her slant on these would have been unique, I’m sure.

    One great bonus with this book is the reference to the "Artists Network.com" It is a wonderful site with lots of different tutorials of different art techniques in all kinds of media.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2014

    I think this book will provide a great source of inspiration and information to anyone who has a creative background in the arts, as well as those who are relative beginners. My only "criticism" is that the book is not spiral bound. In my opinion, all art instruction books should have this feature...the Queen has spoken.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Gives some ideas
    Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    Ms. Bautista offers a lot of interesting techniques. I got the Kindle version of this book so perhaps it does not have as much eye-candy appeal as a physical book. This book is filled with lots of suggestions to try various approaches to making prints, so it is inspiring. Gave three stars because I really was hoping to see how she uses the prints in useful products. It looks like she mostly uses them for collage for journal pages, which I feel is somewhat limited. Anyway, the book makes you think of different possibilities for making and using texture.
