I started to play over the weekend and have managed to do a few pages - I'm looking at blankets first off; covers, quilts :) (one of my favourite things in the world) and it all just started to grow - once I'd made my first mark I couldn't stop and the size of the pages is tiny so they fill up really fast
from blank sheets
the pages have begun to take a life of their own
collage and
mixed media techniques
stamping and sticking
my jar of pencils
(these aren't in the sketchbook)
going to make some granny squares they make
awesome blankets
paper and fabric patchwork
paper and stitch
and finally a real piece of patchwork
made from my scraps
hope you've enjoyed the pages so far
not sure if they'll all be included yet
still got jackets and sheets to do :)
THOUGHTS
thinking of trying some lino cuts and I have some vintage sheets for
stitching and then I remember sheets of music, newspapers,
and then there's the jackets; Harris Tweed, cuff's pockets and button holes, book covers, potatoes
(I could do some potato printing)
my head buzzing with ideas now
Till next time cant wait to see what friends are doing
love Judy x

Looks great so far, I'm still waiting for my sketchbook.I'm really looking forward to following everyones progress.
I love what you are doing with this sketchbook. I wish I could be freer in the way I work into books but I nebver seem able to achieve the desired effect!
Looking great. I can see that you might have to make more than one book with all those ideas.
I love it when the ideas come pouring out. Its difficult to choose whihc to explore first!
Loving the patchwork book! Want to see your crochet squares :)
Ohhhhhh love how this is going, you have a billion ideas I see way more than a book in these :) Hope I can get this freedom in mine. Have you done them in the book or separately? to attach in later? I was thinking about this and what I want to do with mine?
What a fantastic start Judy. It looks wonderful so far, and I can see you have so many ideas to work with. I hope I can do as well as you when mine finally turns up. They say they posted it on the 15th so it should be here soon. Keep having fun :o)
A lovely start in your book Judy. Ideas flowing nicely too .....
I'm itching to start my book but really need to get three last challenges out of the way first. Hope to start in August and will share my progress
