Good books are incredibly inspiring to me and are a great resource for when you’re feeling stuck. I’m always on the lookout for not too cheesy books about bookbinding, craft business, journaling and living the creative life. I created a handout to give my students at the close of a class and I’d like to share it with you in segments.
Segment #1: BOOK ARTS
Segment #2:VISUAL JOURNALING
Segment #3: LIVING THE CREATIVE LIFE
Happy Reading (or just looking at pictures)!
