The Sketchbook Project

Making the pages.....,As I have said before, absolutely nothing to do with my degree, but I know some people are interested.
Brace yourself as I will be boring you rigid with a future project. A collaboration I am taking part in with Teesha Moore, Susie LaFond and a host of other fabulous artist, but lets finish this one first.

Inked and collage pages 

Colour photocopy them all. I do this because it makes the drawing process that much easier, especially in a small book like this one.

Cut and glue in place within the book.

In the book press over night, now ready for drawing and writing on..., joy!

The Sketchbook project

Eeeeeek! Look what just arrived. This isn't really anything to do with the degree, but I thought there maybe someone out there interested in this. I love participating,

Just too excited over a blank book!

There is a bit of a rush on so I made some college out of old art.
