Sketchbook Project 2011 pages 2 and 3

sketchbook project 2011 pages 2 and 3


I wrote the poem in 1999.  The sketch was done this past summer in 2010.  They both seemed to fit well together so I've married them here in my sketchbook.

I am finally getting around to scanning all the pages.  I bought a new all in one printer/scanner just for this purpose.  Woo Hoo!  The book is pretty thick so some of the pages won't lie flat.   As I've stitched and reinforced the pages pretty well, taking the book apart now is not an option.   I've decided to do most of the pages that I like a second time, so that I'll have an original for myself.  Granted the second ones won't be exactly the same, but I'll still have something to keep.

bird watching and staying home for the summer

It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h
