Tips for Keeping Sketchbooks<\/span><\/div>\n

\"journal\" <\/span><\/p>\n

In the most recent issue of Cloth Paper Scissors<\/em>, Jean Littlejohn shared her process for making sketchbooks from recycled, otherwise unwanted books. Here are some tips for starting your own creative sketchbook:<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n
  1. There are no rules. Your sketchbook can be formal or informal, a pastiche of ideas or a whole work based on a theme. <\/li>\n
  2. Prepare your pages ahead of time. Start with a recycled book like Jean, put a color wash on white pages, or doodle in the borders. Anything to get over being intimidated by a blank page. <\/li>\n
  3. Carry your sketchbook with you. You never know when inspiration will strike. <\/li>\n
  4. Include a glue stick, a permanent marker, and watercolor pencils with your sketchbook, as well. <\/li>\n
  5. Record the mundane as well as the profound. Beauty is often found in the simple moments of life.<\/li>\n

    <\/span><\/ol>\n

    The following books can also help you create your own special sketchbook: <\/span><\/p>\n

    I am still thinking about creative journals\/sketchbooks. The Darling Child draws or plays his clarinet each evening before he starts playing his hand-held devices. It is much easier to create a new habit with someone else, so I have decided to draw at the same time he does each evening. Even if it is just 5 minutes, it is a start. There are lots of ideas for drawing\/visual ideas swirling around in my mind, so I have to make a start. We’ll see how it workss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
