This pretty much sums things up. Make some art today - for the Love of Paper. ( I crack myself up)
I'm still busy painting away on more of my
big series but when taking a break, I'm all about the sketchbook. Seriously - OBSESSED. I am loving drawing again - drawing for drawings sake. Doodling, art journaling- whatever you want to call it, I am doing it. You can peek into my sketchbook
HERE and

This month I decided to put a twist on my sketchbook fun and make a little book of quotes.
Nothing fancy - in fact I want it to be the opposite of fancy.
So I turned to my favorite free paper of ALL TIME - the trusty brown paper bag. I cut some pages, wet and dried them (no idea why - just seemed like something I should do) and made signatures, covers and searched for "coptic stitch" online for some help with book binding. It is not perfect but I LOVE how it turned out. Bitten by the handmade bookmaking bug now.
Next is filling in each of the pages - each day a different inspirational quote - art business or creativity related. It is just for me to keep on my desk to take a gander at when I need a little boost.
Take a peek at some already done...
I love this quote. - You don't need fancy supplies - make some art with the stuff around you.
