Another one opens!
(The first page in my new sketchbook.)
There is something about finishing a sketchbook that makes me feel sentimental.
(A sampling of pages.)
I get a little nostalgic as I flip through the pages, but this isn't "Good-bye"... It's just "See you later". There are still many ideas in my old sketchbook that will someday be realized. When I'm looking for inspiration I can always return to it with fresh eyes.
(The last page and inside back cover of my finished sketchbook.)
So, for now I say...
"I'd like to stay, but I really mustache!"
It's time to turn my attention to a new sketchbook full of fresh white pages and endless possibilities!

Don't forget: Inspiration Avenue's Charity Art Auction to benefit Angel Faces runs until May 7th... Please be sure to stop by!
How awsome it is to see all these pages together like that! Amazing work!:)
ReplyDeleteI need to start using one sketch book and filling it instead of sketching on just anything that's handy. Seeing your book and the impact of so many amazing drawings in one place is impressive. You really do lovely work Kristin. Have a great day, and now I mustache.
ReplyDeleteLove that last page, you sense of humor and whimsey always makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteLove the sketchbook. I can see how you can get inspiration from just viewing the pages...but on to the next :-)
ReplyDeleteWow your sketchbook is just wonderful..I love all of the pages.. I need to complete a sketchbook for once..I always start and then forget..!what a treasury you have forever and ever...I think youve inspired me..I have a new one sitting around..!..what I do is bring many scraps of 140 lb watercolor paper around and use that as my journal...???I think I like the texture of that paper..!
ReplyDeleteI love your sketchbook! I have several and while small little things happen in them, none of them are ever finished. I have yet to fill one completely. One day...maybe.
ReplyDeleteI would love to page through that art journal Kristin...and thanks for the laugh! I just love silly cleverness :)

i know what you mean about feeling nostalgic when looking back through old sketchbooks. they become very dear to us, don't they? thanks for sharing the sample of pages. btw, can you share what type of sketchbook you prefer? i'm always looking for THE perfect sketchbook that can hold watercolor. can you recommend one?
ReplyDeleteNow that looks like it would be one amazing sketchbook to flip through....sketchbooks are something are they...I find on days where I feel glum, just dragging my latest sketchbook around hugged to my chest, often buoys me up...it reminds me of all the gems hidden inside that teeny me conjured up...feels like magic:D
ReplyDeleteI was going all over the mosaic thinking "I´d love to be able to do that and that and that and ..." you get the drift. :D
ReplyDeleteThat dachshund may be one of my favorite things ever!
