NEW WORKS FROM THE STUDIO OF ART BY WENDY
That happened to me years ago when we were canoeing the Bowron Lakes. On a 10-day canoe trip with lots of portages everything has to be packed and organized to the max. During the day I would have 20-30 minutes to do a sketch but trying to keep things handy and dry was a real challenge. When we got home I decided to design my own setup - my sketchbook/journals were the results. The key to my journal covers is: the large pocket on the front that holds LOTS of stuff (glue stick, mini scissors, pens, pencils, paintbrush and more); they are fabric with a velcro fastener so they can grow as things are added to the pages; the whole thing fits into the largest ziploc bag so it can be kept clean and dry; and best of all, it features one of my pictures on the front!!
Right now I am in full production, I enjoy sewing and it is fun to "just go at it" for a few days. I need extra on hand as Christmas is coming and I know how much they are appreciated by anyone that likes to write, scrapbook, sketch or paint on the go!
My sketch/journals include a cloth cover, a 5.5 x 8.5 Canson Sketchbook, a pen and pencil and sell for $32. Pictures vary. To purchase "a sketchbook/journal" Contact Wendy or come to the show next week Dec 6 & 7. Audrey and I will be doing a demo at 1:30, Dec 6 as part of this show, "Adding Excitement to Your Journaling". We will also be doing a workshop on Journaling, March 9. (see my page Shows/Workshops/Private Classes for more info)
Have a great day.
Have you been out hiking and wanted to stop and sketch or paint but no materials??!!

The Production Line
Journaling has always been an interest for me. I like to use my journals to write about my trips and sketch and paint things along the way. I also use it as a scrapbook, keeping mementos of the things we see and do. With everything handy and easy to carry, I find I am able to work in my book whereever I am. This means when I come back from my trip, my book is complete. (I often do the final entry on the plane on the way home.)
Right now I am in full production, I enjoy sewing and it is fun to "just go at it" for a few days. I need extra on hand as Christmas is coming and I know how much they are appreciated by anyone that likes to write, scrapbook, sketch or paint on the go!
