The Sketchbook Project
I procrastinated for months ignoring the little blue book from the Sketchbook Project that sat on the printer table. I was not certain where I wanted to go with the project, so I did nothing, not even some scribble in a notebook with ideas. I am now giving the pages a wash of color and then will make decisions about what to do next. My topic is lines and grids, so I plan to use on some of the techniques I have learned in the last few year. I will actually draw designs with markers, pencils, etc. As a fiber artist this will be a stretch. I do not draw, but I will now. I will create some temporary screens using freezer paper and print grids on some of the pages. I will glue and/or stitch paper and fabric designs on some pages. I will stitch by hand -- something I never do unless it is a binding on a quilt. I am a machine person, but this project calls for hand work. Pictures to follow when I begin adding the lines and grids designs to the pages.
