Sketchbook Project: 2011

My sketchbook came a couple of weeks ago. My theme is, Science project gone wrong. I've been contemplating. There are a few ideas forming that I've been trying out. We'll see how it all ends up. I'm sure it will be somewhere completely different than I originally thought.

This is a great project that is put on by the Brooklyn Art Library. I encourage everyone to check it out and participate, if you dare.

the package is in the mail

I just mailed off my package for the Flirty Apron Swap 11. Besides the apron, I added buttons from the 50's, ribbon barrettes for the 80's and re-usable snack bags for the future. I used a tutorial from Amy at angry chicken. Everything is handmade except the buttons.
On a completely different subject, we discovered a beautiful hiking spot in Sonoma County, Foothill Regional Park. This park is the quintessential Northern California landscape. Rolling hills covered with golden grass and dotted with old oaks. The hiking is easy to moderate and average about 3 miles.

finished

I hope my partner likes this. Now to figure out the extras.
