Sketchbook Project Progress





This is from my sketchbook for The Sketchbook Project 2011. If you are doing this project, you know how terribly flimsy the paper is. Some people actually rebound their books! I really didn't want to do that, but I found a great idea on how not to have to do that here. I used pages from an old book I was going to get rid of and gave them a light coat of white acrylic paint. I used a glue stick and viola! I had pages with more body.

Here are the two prior spreads:

  4. Can't wait to see your book, Michelle! It would be cool if we could all meet on the tour at one of the locations. It will be in Austin, TX and also Portland, ME in March.
