It is always exciting to get a new sketchbook. It makes me feel like a kid again...excited. All the possibilities...I begin to envision how I want my book to turn out and think is it going to be full of trees? full of people? pen or ink only? or am I going to do something new.
Well this is a new type of sketchbook for me. It's a book I simply call "The Book of Imagination".
I know all art involves imagination.. but this is different. I am allowing my mind to roam free..only using a small hint of reality as a jumping point.
I must say...it wasn't easy starting this book.. My first entry here was based heavily on what I am comfortable in drawing and finding myself trying out my own version of Zentangles.
My second drawing again..the same thing.. But something was different... I was willing to take more liberties.
Now, I beginning to believe if I practice just letting go...my imagination will emerge even stronger.
I invite you to take this journey with me. I think it would be fun! You can share your thoughts, your comments, your pictures, or your own sketchbook. If take the journey, please leave your link and I will be sure to follow.
Will be posting my third sketch soon!

I love this idea for a sketchbook! I have a lot on my plate right now but I'd like to revisit this sketchbook idea at some point in the future. I look forward to seeing what you do.
Thanks Vicki and Ann..I would love to see your sketchbook in the future. It is an interesting process for me.
