A page from my sketchbook

As you can tell from these pages from my sketchbook, I started out with very rough line drawings that were intended to be ideas for a black and white challenge, and then took a detour and started adding color. I'm not sure if anything will come from these at this time, but I never know. When I'm hunting for ideas, or in need of inspiration, I'll flip through my sketchbooks and sometimes I'll find a treasure to work with.

Sketchbook Journal - pear quilt?

Another peek in my sketchbook journal. This is one of the ideas I have for that background hanging on my design wall, and although I like the pear idea (as you could see in the earlier post), and this might go with the batik pear, maybe I want the design to be a bit more realistic, so I'll keep working on more ideas.

Sketchbook Journal

Since so many people are interested in starting or viewing sketchbooks and journals, I thought that while I'm working on other things that are slow going, or that I can't post as yet, you might like to see some of the things in my sketchbook journal once in a while. It is a combination journal, sometimes only written words, sometimes only sketches (some quick and very rough, but enough to remind me of the idea), and sometimes a combination. This sketch was done while waiting for lunch in Allyn, WA in a restaurant, and maybe sometime I'll get around to making a quilt out of it.
