Sitting on a shelf above my journaling desk are a few essential books for reference~
and a collection of the teachings, writings, musings, and workshops of the Master of Art Journaling (in my humble opinion)
Miss Juliana Coles
Over the years I have taken many classes from Jules - and I must say above all people she has influenced my work the most. So I have compiled a book of all of her workshop guides into one Master Tome ~ it is kind of like having her there - pushing me, irking me, pissing me off, making me cry which of course all results in making me grow, evolve, learn, and become more in touch with myself. No, it's not the same thing as having her magical presence, but in my head I can hear her voice and swear I can see those eyes glaring at me with pursed lips and raised eyebrows! That's what a great teacher does for you - they push you - hard - to give more of yourself - to be better ...
My goal is to collect them all so I am off to her Etsy shop to purchase the ones - the few that I don't have.
So if you haven't taken a class with Jules - DO - you will never be the same!
What a great idea to bind them all together...hmmm...I may steel that idea from you.
