What a good idea - especially if you can use up some old but good paper.

....and it was fun to make too :-)

Well cool! Great idea to use paper you already have to experiment with! (And gentle hugs to William, please!)

It's all down to you Cathy with such a great way of making a sketchbook. I'm going to end up with loads of them all over the place now. And yes, I have given William his hug and told him who sent it :-)

I watched the tutorial yesterday! Love hearing your voice.

I like that you can make them any size!

Thanks CJ....I try to avoid listening to myself, but then husb. says the same, lol ;)

ann @ studiohyde said...

I know...I think there will be loads of them here, so easy to make :-)

Ann, it was so fun to hear your voice!!! I had seen Cathy's video on Facebook and shared it with one of my sketching groups. I haven't made one of the books yet, mainly because I only have full sheets of Arches and it really doesn't fold well. I have to pick up another kind of watercolor paper. These looks like such cute, fun books.

Thanks Joan....I keep folding odd pieces of paper now just to see if I can remember how to do it. I've now got a great supply of little sketchbooks for my bag :-)

Let me join everyone else is saying I love your voice! It's funny how we get to know one voice through our blogs, but not always the other one! Thank you for sharing this tutorial!

Thanks. I know what you mean, when eventually we 'hear' people online it makes them more real doesn't it :-)
