Sketchbook Project 2011


I'm sending this off in the mail tomorrow.   I spent the day getting a time-lapse video of my sketchbook and then editing it to include music.

I've really enjoyed participating in this project and meeting other artists from around the world through this project.  This is the first journal I've done, and I already have ideas for another journal.

I'll slowly be posting more images of the pages in this sketchbook in the near future.

I love it, I love it! Inspiring sketchbook and I adore that you took a video of flipping the pages - much more 'real' than static images of individual pages. Have you participated in this in years past?

GORGEOUS journal and wonderful project, Juana! In the New Year I'm starting my first art journal, and very excited--just got the book for it. :o) Hope this finds you having a cozy holiday. We’re just emerging from some very festive days just now. Later in the week is my birthday–hubby’s taking me out to lunch. Then we ring in New Year already–it’s a great time just now! Happy Days! So glad to have found your inspiring blog again! ((HUGS))

Love the slide show! Great to see the pages all at once. Beautiful journal! Just took out the little piece I bought from you. Now that I'm settled I will find a beautiful frame for it. Happy New Year. Looking forward to seeing what you will be doing in 2011.

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. 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!

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
