Miniature Sketchbook

When my friend Helen left the area she gave me and other members of our arty group a sketchbook challenge. She gave us a miniature book which measures 4" square and a box containing papers, fabric, pegs, beads, letters, tags and other bits and pieces. I used quite a bit of the stuff and also added bits of my own plus drawings and a bit of paint here and there. 

Helen started us off by giving us ideas on the first few pages.

I've now completed the book, I can't say it is my best effort so I will post half the pages today and the rest next time.

They are my efforts from now on
