My Personal Collection

Following Julia Cameron's advice in The Artist's Way, I dedicate the first hour of my day to writing Morning Pages. Journaling helps me to clear my mind and sets me on a good path to the day. And, the process of making journals summons some of my other interests -- handspinning, weaving, handsewing, papermaking, bookbinding, bandweaving, and Japanese braiding (Kumihimo). These journals are in my personal collection.
