There you have it. I really enjoyed it once I'd got going.
Sad to see it go, maybe I'll do one for me, now I know I can.
What a treasure, no wonder you're reluctant to part with it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous piece of artwork! I can see why you are so sad to see it go!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful sketchbook- really beautiful stuff in there. Maybe I will see it here in Seattle.
ReplyDeleteAt least you have all of these photos of it. Wonderful work. I didn't know your DH was an artist too. Well done!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sketchbook, I was sad to see mine go too!
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful sketchbook!!!
ReplyDeleteit's so sad, that it must travel so far away from you - but soon so many, many people can have a look to it. great!
Wonderful - a kaleidoscope of your life there!
ReplyDeleteYeah! you finished!!! And it's BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteIt will be a show stopper. I love the cover. I had a vinyl cover. I hope what I put on the front of it stays on...the bar code wouldn't stick. I put a note on it asking for it to be replaced.
Your husbands sketches are so good and your colors and fun make the sketch book a visual treat. Well done!

Well done for getting it finished. It is beautiful and the combination of your DH's sketches and your textured work is excellent. You'll have to do another one to keep.
ReplyDeleteWow. Its beautiful, especially like the monoprinted landscape and the postcard from Heaven's Ocean. I just finished my sketchbook today. Skin of the teeth springs to mind! Glad to get it finished and sent off. Have a nice weekend over there.

What a fabulous sketchbook & a great collaboration - well done both!
ReplyDeleteAlso wanted to let you know my prize parcel arrived - thanks so much - lots of treasures to make art with.
Gorgeous sketchbook! At least you have photos of it before you send it off, it looks amazing! :) x
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised you're sad to see it go - it is lovely - it is nice to know others will enjoy it too
ReplyDeleteOh, Emma, this is so fantastic! I love the variety and the two sensibilities in the same journal! Isn't it odd sending it out? I felt lost, but like you and someone else I know, I immediately started a new one just for me! It was a great exercise, wasn't it? I hope to see yours in person in San Francisco!
ReplyDeleteThis journal looks wonderful. A great collaboration. I will look for it when it comes to Brooklyn!
ReplyDeletelove these sketches they are excellent
ReplyDeleteEmma, this is so filled with goodness! I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to catch up and see it. You and DH ROCK!
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to let it go, isn't it?
