Today's Mail

Today's mail brought me a brand new Moleskin Sketchbook! This wasn't just any ol' sketchbook. Oh no. It was a sketchbook that I purchased to be part of the "SKETCHBOOK PROJECT" ... which is a very cool thing going on! Check out the link! http://www.thesketchbookproject.com

Basically, this is a bar-coded sketch-book that will be 'on tour' traveling the country next year with a bunch of other sketchbooks as part of an Art House Co-op project.  All sketchbooks in the project have a theme. I chose the theme Things that changed other things. I believe it'll leave me wide open to tons of ideas and stuff to write/doodle/collage about (beginning with the wheel)!.
When I came across this project (just clicking around on blogs, etc), I was intrigued because the description from last year's project claimed that it wasn't just artists who'd participated. In fact, stay at home 'moms' were mentioned. I figured that included crafty little tap dancin' wanna be maker moms like me! I sent in my twenty bucks and Voila! I'm part of something that is bigger than myself ... kinda like a thing that changed other things ... because it'll change what I'm doing at some point in time in the next few months..

And there's more! This little book of mine will become a permanent sketchbook collection at The Brooklyn Art Library AND I even received a library card so that I can one day go visit it!
I'm jazzed!
