A Sketchbook Circle

     A few weeks ago I happened onto a conversation on the Sketchbook Skool Facebook page about organizing a sketchbook swap or circle. I jumped on it as quickly as I could. Our little group is made up of 10 ladies, 5 from the states and the others from Brazil, Switzerland, Denmark, the Netherlands and Australia. I would have been thrilled to have anyone draw in my sketchbook, or to have it travel the country, but all those wonderful places...so exciting.
     I drew a page in my sketchbook and mailed it to Switzerland and in turn got one from Brazil. I've had it about two weeks and I'm ready to mail it out again this afternoon. I decided I should take a few photos of the drawings I made (of course I would never show anyone else's) since I will never see the drawings in person again.






This was a tiny book, only 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches and I wasn't sure what watercolor would do to the pages so I used ballpoint pen mostly with a little colored pencil. On the last page I braved a light wash over watercolor pencil. I truly am grateful for this fun opportunity! So exciting! Okay bring on the next book!
