For the next year and a bit, I am participating in the Sisterhood of the Travelling Sketchbook. It is a sketchbook round robin - our books travel monthly to the next participant and then we get our original book back at the end. Each month the "theme" is that month so it will be easy to remember! But the first spread is about one's self and a colour that has meaning at the moment.
I thought I would show you my page spread and my sign-in page for this week's Sunday Sketches with Blue Chair Diary before it leaves for Australia to meet Nicola!
Sign in page (inspired by my favourite book!)
My colour page spread - purple inspired
Close-up views:
Page 2 (hat related to Word of the Year)
Page 3 - A quote I love and favourite friend

ReplyDeleteI adore your propeller hat (Would you believe I actually have one?!?) And, of course it would only be appropriate for the moon to make an appearance!
Can't wait to see more...

What a fabulously cool concept. You've gotten the sketchbook off to a great start and your portrait reminded my of the soon-to-be Princess Kate. I can't wait to see what you end up with after the book has made its way around the world.
ReplyDeletewonderful creations. thanks for your visit.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea and thoughtful color page spread. She definitely looks like a dreamer :)
ReplyDeleteI really like your composition.
These are great- I LOVE your sign in page- Seuss is one of my favorite people too! And that purple is so rich and vibrant- I can't believe the books go on the move this week- YAY!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic idea for the sign in page! I love your rich purple color and it's also one of my favorites. I can't wait to see this in person. This is so fun!! I'm excited to trade soon! ~Jaime
ReplyDeleteoh these paintings are lovely!!!! what a fun challenge .....wonderful pieces!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to join in on something like this but I'd be so nervous about what to put in other's books! Purple is such a strong colour and one I love so I think you did a fabulous job on using that for your spread.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and inspirational! I love your dreamer girl as well as the encouraging quote, the evening sky, and the fun sign-in page! Very cool!
