Ocean of blankets

ocean journal 03

I saw an artist on Etsy who made simple prints onto moleskine journals, of things like scissors and clothespins and keys. I loved that, and I use moleskine journals all the time. I like to draw on the covers of mine, so I know which end is up, and I thought it might be a neat idea to do a few one-of-a-kind journals to put up on Etsy. The first one turned out so nicely, and I might like this one even better.

Sepia archival ink and white pencil, which hold up to a lot of handling. It's an 80-page blank journal with a pocket, 5 x 8.25". I haven't got the faintest idea what to charge for them.

Aside from Jenny St. James (on this journal), I have a lot of trouble drawing faces just out of my head. I always have an actual person in mind, or I work from a photo or something. I feel like Jenny's face is comfortable. She reminds me of my sister, in ways I'm sure Kit won't recognize. :)

  1. Really? What ways are those? I love Jen's face, so I'm already flattered.

    Your journals are all sold! Go you.
