Welcome back to Sketchbook Tuesday!
I'm pumped up to begin sketching in a my new Sketchbook Journal made from an old children's book. Even though it was not one of the well loved books my children read, it is a book with fabulous illustrations I couldn't bear to get rid of.
It was important to also incorporate some of the pages I'd previously done.
My goal is to fill up both sketchbooks in 2015! Won't you join me on my sketchbook journey?
Sketch on my friends!

I'm pumped up to begin sketching in a my new Sketchbook Journal made from an old children's book. Even though it was not one of the well loved books my children read, it is a book with fabulous illustrations I couldn't bear to get rid of.
So I've re-purposed "Our Animal Friends at Maple Hill Farm "into a sketchbook by replacing the pages with a selection of cold and hot press watercolor paper and mixed media paper .
The first page in a new sketchbook fills me with a feeling of excitement but also overwhelms me with feelings of what if I mess up the very first page! Not this time! I knew exactly what I would sketch and with a feeling of joy as I sketched and then painted my palette!
You might remember this hand painted cover of another sketchbook, it has been sitting on my shelf and not used after the initial pages I did in 2013. Something about it didn't seem right. Turns out it just needed a few more signatures added to fill out the large spine.

Now it is a book filled with watercolor paper and mixed media papers for drawing, sketching and watercolor. It was important to also incorporate some of the pages I'd previously done.
My goal is to fill up both sketchbooks in 2015! Won't you join me on my sketchbook journey?
Sketch on my friends!
