Arthouse Sketchbook Project front cover

If you lived here ...
I meant to make this look like silk but painting on the black made it look more like painted wood/leather, so I went with that idea.........

    Your cover is stunning Debra, congratulations on producing such beautiful work. What sort of paint did you use?
    Happy New Year!

    And a gorgeous cover!! Wow! I can't wait to actually see your book and hold it in my own hands. I really need to watch the schedule at the "Library," but would you let us know if you have information about when your book will actually be on view in Brooklyn? I'll organize a field trip for my Journal Study Group so we can all hold it!

    I loved this!

    When I went to your flickr set, I discovered new pages, and it was great to watch it page by page; thanks so much for sharing.

    The EDMers that participated in this got me so curious. Brooklyn's only 2.5 hours away, so I think I'll have to go investigate.

    I would find this very hard to send away - it is a true work of art.

    Debbie, Doug and I just viewed your wonderful sketch book whilst sitting in our house on Bowen Island... silence, nostalgia and a tear to the eye... then came a big smile and the inevitable sigh! Perfect.

    Wonderful final pages Debra. I was away for a few weeks and had missed the last four pages and the cover. It has been a fantastic journey to see HK through your eyes. If I ever get to NY I am going to look at your book !!!
    What ever shall we do next with our time after the Sketchbook Project ???? (plenty I expect !)
