If I was reading through it I'd want to see them and know about the workshop itself since you're describing going to one - that's where I might look at yours and try the exercises! It's very cool content even if it's just completed homework and not original to you. All of my journals have class or workshop exercises in them because I'll do them in whatever I'm using at the time.

Let's see next year.<br /><br />Also I love to see the huge quantity of sketches, drawings, notes you made in Barcelona and Germany. What a wonderful experience.Deep and rich.<br /><br /><br /><br />Just let me say thanks a lot for your field experience all over Europe!<br />Our project is one of the most effective I ever made, because allows complete modularity.<br />You can use any combination of signatures, notebook, sketchbook or everything you need.<br />Still is strong! Made to last at least some decades with minimum care.<br /><br />I'm planning to make also one smaller size, pocketable, for people like me that likes to go around with smaller bags. And to draw more often.<br /><br /><br />Cheers!<br />Stefano<br />Stefanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11773366801347443283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220865105573981879.post-24214050830394167972013-07-26T00:29:41.462-07:002013-07-26T00:29:41.462-07:00That's true Tina.

The leather cover has a little more give than a hardcover sketchbook, but it is still plenty stiff enough to firmly support the pages I'm sketching on (as well as my attached watercolor palette). <br /><br />- TinaMiataGrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727208043312788510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220865105573981879.post-23989488446369063142013-07-24T20:06:16.003-07:002013-07-24T20:06:16.003-07:00It is great to read your analysis of your material...It is great to read your analysis of your materials and how things worked or didn't work. I really liked your idea of the separate signatures that you can bind together now that you are home. I usually take a folding stool with me, because I find it too uncomfortable to stand and sketch for any length of time or sit on the ground (then I have to get this old body up off the ground). Luckily my stool just fits inside my backpack so I can still do it as carryon luggage. Thanks for all your information. I can't wait to read your post about the workshops.Joan Tavolotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290923567339587417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220865105573981879.post-23884039006871891372013-07-24T18:26:06.163-07:002013-07-24T18:26:06.163-07:00Great post, Tina.

The Stephano approach is interesting and could easily accommodate toned paper signatures, etc. I might have to look into it, though it doesn't look as 'stiff' as a true hardcover sketchbook. Thanks for putting together this post.<br /><br />Cheers --- Larrylarryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499637631503513759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220865105573981879.post-89918393813338412512013-07-24T17:44:39.966-07:002013-07-24T17:44:39.966-07:00Thanks, Kate!

I've had mine for about 10 years and it's still going strong. It's plenty big for carrying a ton of stuff but not bulky at all. Also, machine washable, made in the US and has a lifetime guarantee. <br /><br />http://www.tombihn.com/travel_bags/TB0202.html<br /><br />I plan to just put a 4x6 sketchbook, a few pencils, an eraser, and a small sharpener in it along with all the usual purse stuff for our trip this weekend. That's what I've been carrying every day. If that works out as I hope, I will do the same for Europe in September. <br /><br />I have carried a 5x8 sketchbook in this bag with no problem. It's a bit heavy due to the weight of the book but not at all bulky re: the size/design of the bag, if that makes sense. <br /><br />Simple Living Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03559961962576289456noreply@blogger.com
