Retiring the old notebook





Anyone who knows me personally has figured out I'm lost without my notebooks. I keep a medium sized one near me at all times, listing my groceries, my to-do lists... numbers I need. When I get stuck somewhere, it becomes my sketchbook. These are all images from my latest poor notebook that's been used up and ready for the filing cabinet.

The notebook prior to this one was a handmade one and very small. It was only 3 X 3 1/2 inches with a grey felt cover. The new one I'm using now is a 4 X5 handmade given to me by Saru over cookout. :D

Bookbinding is not terribly difficult, and it's cheaper than you think. One of these days I'll have to give a tutorial.

Chicks with Swords? What's my problem?



The one on the far left is another image of Dagu.... acrylic paint on canvas. It's also a horrible photograph and needs to be scanned on the new computer. The one on the right is watercolor and ink on watercolor paper. It's just a doodle. I wanted to see what I could do combining a Vamprella costume with mummies, but then I started having fun with blue hair and went in it's own direction.
