Sketchbook Project 2012 - fast shipping!

Here's how it comes in the mail

Giving you an idea of the size

In my last post I told you about the Sketchbook Project.  I placed my order online last Sat. and it arrived yesterday so I thought I would show you a photo of the actual sketchbook that I got (everyone gets the same type but you get to pick your theme).  I measured the book - its only 5 x7!  I wish I had known that last year - I might not have felt so intimidated by the project.  On the back cover there is a label with my name, town, & state along with my theme and a barcode which will be how the book is logged in at the Brooklyn Art Library and for the tour.  The card that came with it has the rules which is nice - then you don't have to refer back to their web page.  It has the submission date, address to mail and some other helpful info.  On there website you can link up with others doing the sketchbook so I think this is going to be a lot of fun and a great way to meet new people!  I'm also hoping next year to visit my oldest son & his wife to make a trip into San Francisco when the sketchbooks are on display there during the tour!!  That'd be cool.  (They are only a little over an hour away from San Francisco.  So we'll see how the creative process  goes!

Sketchbook Project 2012

I'm very excited!  I just ordered my Sketchbook for the 2012 project.  I've been looking at this for the last 2 years and have been too intimidated to enter a sketchbook.  This year I'm just going to do it!  If you're not familar with the Sketchbook Project please go here

for all the details.  But if you've ever wanted your artwork to tour the world, here's your chance!  For a fee, they send you a sketchbook (its not huge) and you pick one of the themes that are available.  The theme is a starting point and you go from there.  Once you've completed your artwork in the sketchbook you send it back to them (by 1/31/12).  After the world tour it will be displayed at and becomes a permanent part of the Brooklyn Art Library.  How cool is that?
