The Sketchbook Project

A few years back, Pumpkin Delight , posted about a cool art project out of Brooklyn, New York. I joined on a whim and received my sketchbook only to leave it on my desk until the very last minute, then spend the final 48 hours creating and finishing it before the deadline. When the project came to San Fran that summer, Daughter #1 and I went to see it. Of course it was the final day on the final hours and it was so crowded waiting to see the books that I only viewed mine and another.

The next summer I was in New York for the Columbia Teacher's College and The Captain and I went to Brooklyn to The Sketchbook Library and got to sit and look at books, chat with the owners and their parents and enjoy the day.

This year once again I participated. I posted my sketchbook here and yesterday we went to The City to see the final day of the tour. It was warm at my house but just up 101 it was foggy and windy. The trailer housing the books was outdoors and it made looking at sketchbooks a little difficult. But we had a good time looking at the sketchbooks- which are very creative and inspiring.
 At the trailer... the next three are the outside and inside of my book....


 The next two are of a cool postcard book someone else from S.F. made of postcards of their travels that year...very clever...
