Sketchbook Project
I got word that my sketchbook will be part of the whole 2014 tour to Canada and America not just the Northeast of America.

Sketchbook 2014 - pages 22-32
The last pages from the Sketchbook "Punctuation and Symbols".
As you can see, I could have worked into these in a variety of ways and made it much more artistic. But I am satisfied with it as a 'sketchbook'--a place to explore ideas.
I didn't pay for digitising the book this year. The cost went up quite a bit. So this will be the online record. It is registered though, and in the list of projects I have done for the Brooklyn Art Library. The venues for travel have been restricted, too. So I have selected the North East Tour. (United States)

Sketchbook 2014 - finished and posted
It took me a bit longer to finish the Sketchbook to send to the Brooklyn Art Library, but it is done. And I have posted it!
So a photo today of the front cover.
And a sneak peak of the first page.
Full Stop
Then I will show the other pages over the rest of the week. They may all be rather fuzzy like this one. I hope not! But I was rushing to get a record of it before I sent it off.
As you can see, I changed my plan. Instead of stitching into the fused pages. I went a step further from letters. (Last year was Letters and I am also involved with A Letter A Week.) I have cut punctuation marks and symbols free hand from a variety of fused fabrics and fused them into place on the pages. The only writing is labelling each particular symbol.
It is quite interesting and gives me the idea of exploring these further, mainly because they look quite different when not in context. It would be interesting to develop them into design motifs as well.

the little guy was from a scrap of fabric from an experimental session with Margaret Cooter years ago to try to learn how to screen print fabric. He has been tossing around here and there in boxes and cupboards for quite some time. So, it was time for him to come out and play. No relation to the topic, but makes the cover more interesting.
(I decided not to chance messing the barcode up again this year!)
