We went up to Seattle today for The Sketchbook Project! It was a bit of a mad house but we were able to see a few, including mine. I didn't know how it would be set up and was a little upset we couldn't just browse around pulling out books that caught our eye. ( However, I understand this could have created chaos for the folks who organized the show.)
You had to check out books by category or name ( I wish I had written down blog friends who did the project! That would have been fun!) and someone who worked there would bring you two. It was great to see all the different styles and I was amazed by some of the fabric covers on books-- a whole lot of creativity out there for sure!

I am still debating if I am going to do it again this year. I wanted to do one with more stitching and fabric incorporated into it. I better not wait too long like last year and end up in a rush!

Gabi Campanario has a blog called the Seattle Sketcher. He works for the Seattle Times newspaper. I'm wondering if he participated? It's so neat to be able to see what others are doing in the sketching arena. I'll bet you had a good time just 'browsing'!
Wow, looks great. I am taking part this time, but am still at the stage of just looking some thoughts into my book! Valerie
I started having the Art House folks pick out their favorite books for me. Such amazing work! Here's a video I put together from the Seattle show:

Wow Katie! So how may books were you able to look at? It is an awesome project. I'm participating this year ... so come on ... then we can compare notes. Your fabric ideas sound grand. It must have been exciting seeing and feeling all that energy in one room. xxDonna
I have joined this for 2012 and Cannot wait to attend when it visits London, England. I was thinking about how to bind the book whether to bind in fabric or paper etc. What was the theme of your sketchbook?
My good friend here in Seattle went to this and is very inspired. I think we will sign up. That's pretty exciting that you go to see your own entry. My friend's blog is Saturday Joe at blogspot.com
