Finally managing to participate in Studio Friday again. Getting things ready for our upcoming move has been all encompassing!
This weeks theme is "favorite book". To be honest , I was really stumped because I have so many. Then I realized that my favorite is actually my Sketchbook.
Over the past few years , my sketch book has been used for more than just drawing. It serves as a phone book, "to do" list, journal and oh yeah...sketches are sandwiched in too.
I try to date everything and stay in page order so I can see how my ideas/thoughts evolve. It's fun to sift through the pages later and see where I've been and who I've become.
So what's the latest entry in my sketch/diary? With the move, summer vacation and trying to get some illustration work done, this is what I doodled last week. I'm feeling a bit better now, though. Things are starting to fall into place. =O)
Rozzie!
How neat!! I am so happy for you that things are coming along and starting to fall into place. That is wonderful!
Your self sketch is so cute, I love it! I must say that you look very happy in it though despite the chaotic circumstances at that time I guess ;-) hahaha, love it!!

hahahaha, I didn't even notice tine, you're right! I guess it does look like I'm smiling. Yeah, I've been feeling very scatterbrained but not unhappy. I guess that came across subconciously.

Nice choice Roz - I love it that you use your sketchbooks like journals. It is really wonderful to look back and see where your mind and heart were 6 months, 2 years, 5 years ago. Your sketch of you is great - I know the feeling.
