I spent hours pouring through them, wondering to myself, 'How does she do this?' With Traci’s new book, The Art Journal Workshop, you get to see exactly how."—Christine Olivarez, Somerset Studio Many people want to express themselves through visual journaling, but are stuck or intimidated with how to get started, what to write, or how to move beyond gluing down a few images or putting some paint on the paper.
