...a tip in swap...
I've got myself wrapped up in another art swap. This particular swap is being hosted by a good friend of mine, Ruth Morris aka Art_Junkie of ATC's For All. The appeal of this swap is to end up with a finished sketchbook. I have yet to complete my own sketchbook, so this is awesome to have! We are using the Sennelier USK Book. They look like this...
I wanted to personalize my own book, so I painted up the cover.
I've also colored in the edges of these accordion folded pages.
The above shows some of the art that I got on one of the swaps. I'm in a second round now, that will fill the book back and front. I did leave the first couple of pages blank, for a table of contents.
Here are some of the pages that I will be turning in for trade. We glue these tip in pages, in to the book. :) It's cheaper than sending the whole book to be art'ed in.
