At Christmas Jack gave me a sculpture he did and I was so pleased. I asked him where did you get the idea for this. He looked at me kinda funny and said it’s one of your drawings. Oh well so much for my memory. This is a special gift I will treasure always of course it was made just for me and from one of my drawings. So special.
This did get me thinking about my stack of sketch books I had laying around. So how to minimize this stack of books into a much smaller collection of my sketches?
Here are the only hard back books I had. One had almost no drawings
in it and the other was 3/4 used. So these will be the home
for all the other drawings from the multiple little spiral bound books laying about
I gathered a few of my mixed media supplies and started
ripping apart all the spiral bound sketch books.
2 days later
So now every drawing I have done in the last 15 years that I wanted to keep is in those
2 hard back sketchbooks. I used old sheet music and scrapbook papers to cover old drawings I wasn't too fond of.
Even thou I try to keep my ideas for jewelry or other projects out of my daily sketch book sometimes that isn't handy when I want to sketch something out before the idea runs off into never land. So my sketchbooks end up with a lot of different things in them. They tell a story of what was going on in my life at that time. I try to date everything, but don't always. When I looked back over these drawings it brought back a ton of memories, that had more to do with the time I drew the drawing than the drawing itself.
Enjoy each day and keep close to your heart what is
really important in your life.
God, Family and Friends
and a good comfy box
I'm glad that the little man made you happy! And besides that, it opens up a new way for you and I to share more of our abilities. You keep drawing and when one of them talks to me, we'll get it done in 3D...Love my silly girl, and I want the whole world to know it!
