The Sketchbook Project

By the skin of my teeth I have finished my sketchbook & will send it off to Brooklyn tomorrow. My DH & I were allowed to make it a collaborative effort but as a few others found, it was quite difficult to start but with the deadline looming hugely, here it is.


The cover, I'll probably stick a title plate on just beore i put it in the post tomorrow. Torn strips inspired by the 'muse' bit in Cloth paper Scissors which finally arrived yesterday.



printed Acer leaves & painted papers I already had


DH - across the sound, Bein Sgritheall (that hill!)


painted papers, found papers, my little drawings of houses in the village (mine's at the top ;)



an interpretation of the sea, my carved stamps on scraped acrylic



an interpretation of a rainbow, my torn ribbon stitching!



my version of a landscape, monoprinting & scratching


DH - Isle Ornsay Lighthouse (ok, it's a mile away ;)



DH - stream by the house (we removed a neighbors house - well it wasn't there when we built!)



DH - boats passing down the Sound


My garden?


simple stamping



my simple tree sketch


recognise this? printed it off too big by mistake & thought 'perfect!'



love & flowers round about



DH - herons & oyster catchers in the bay




DH - across the bay to the Sound



print from a piece of seaweed, I'll 'name' it tomorrow...



swallows on the wire

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.
