Love all the whimsy in your sketchbook and in your head.

everything about this brings me joy to read. and i love seeing inside sketchbooks it’s like being welcome behind the curtain! also, this line (i feel seen!) “I love diving into big projects. I also love giving up on them and moving onto something new.”

I love this peek into your sketchbook, how it shows your thinking process (all those suns!) and your confident line drawing. So inspiring. Walnut ink? Did you make ink from walnuts? That’s so cool! Can’t wait to check out your mural. Congratulations!

Such a great post. I love that you celebrate not just the relationship with your sketchbook but also the break up - ahh such is life. 😂

… and that house, with a dome!!! Woah, so brilliant - a delicious whisper of Florence.

I love the bug. I FEEL that bug. And I really, really love seeing into your sketchbook. Would love to see as much of your sketchbooks as you’re willing to share. Gorgeous as always.

What a way to wake up on a Friday when we are deep in exam season! Stress in house is at its peak so this was a perfect moment while we wait for the school bus… thank you xxxx

That sequence is great. I loved the close up to the bug. And the bug! The first image reminded me of Millions of Cats. And the sketch of the house... wow...

So nice to have a peak into your sketchbook!
