OLD DOODLES

 I've started making marks in an old sketchbook I've had.  It's full of a handmade paper that is thin and unsized.  Water tends to spread out, but the pigments in watercolors don't go with it sometimes.  It's a difficult paper to work with which makes it fun, exciting and frustrating.  But I love the cover:

I thought I'd post the sketches I had done previously.  I did most of them at work when I was without other things to do.  A few of them are dated 2013.

FRIDAY DOODLE

 

BOUQUET

 I put some watercolor on the paper and after it dried I inked in some flowers.

SKETCHBOOK PROJECT 2013

I joined the Sketchbook Project 2013 since I had such a good time with the last one.

Of course, the due date is tomorrow.  So, I'm just under the wire.

I got my blank sketchbook quite a while ago, and then promptly forgot about it until December.  Not having sufficient time to do much of anything, I thought doing something I don't normally do, like collage, would be fun. 

Just before I put it into the envelope to mail it, I thought I better scan the pages since I'll probably never see the book again.  Bye!

Good luck to you, book.
