My friend the gnome is "taking flight"! (You may remember him from this Sunday Sketch) Conveniently, "taking flight" is also the theme for Creative Tuesday.
My Sketchbook Project may not have pages inside yet (I still have to sew it back together again), but at least the cover is finished!
This is the front and back of my moleskine... It's time to get out my needle and thread so I can start working on the inside! (Be sure to check back for more Sketchbook Project updates.)
And, stop by Mr. Toast's blog to see what other artists are "Taking Flight"!
ahhh just great!!!
