Finished. Done. No more pages to fill, ready for it’s permanent place in history!
Today i wanted to post a bunch of art. My schedule has been so crazy, you are probably wondering where my art has been??!! I absolutely, create every day, mostly in my drawing journals. Here’s half a book, enjoy!
I completely filled my little my little green Handbook journal this weekend. The book has 128 toothy pages which means that i illustrated 256 pages! Here are about 70 of those pages. Can you imagine this blog post if i had ALL 256 pages posted! That’s a lot of cawfee sipping as you scroll through the pages!
Many of the pages are my brainstorms and ideas for projects, classes and workshops.
Lots of watercolor in this journal. This particular brand of journal, Handbook loves paint and marker!
It’s my favorite for bright, vibrant color.
Love the little pocket in the back that you can store your treasures.
The elastic band is great for wrapping it all up! And so, it’s a wrap!
…it’s on to the next one, “My Little Red Journal”. So many fresh blank pages awaiting my artful wisdom…















































it is all so beautiful!!

Stephanie, these pages were done with Tombow markers
Do the Tombow markers bleed through the pages as badly as the copics do? Or can these journals handle copics?Thanks, Lauren
