I finally got around to putting together a new sketchbook for myself! The cover is linen primed with gesso and then drawn on with paint sharpies and the inside is filled with watercolour, bond, bristol, canvas and ledger papers that was stitched together by hand with waxed thread (okay it's actually mint scented dental floss, but it does the job!) and then pva glue was used to cover the spine of the paper block with kraft paper and Super 77 spray glue was used to attach the end papers and the cover together. And the back cover is also drawn on in the same patterns

50 pages 7.5 in x 8 in

But no really, that's epic. In every way and form. :love:
I'm kind of jealous? I want my own amazing sketchbook.

hahah thanks! I made another one last week and it was a disaster and totally sucked so I gave it away to my friend who happily accepted it. But it made me so angry to look at!

Yeah! Sharpies that have paint in them! I hardly ever use them, but this was a good thing to finally break them out for!
i have no idea how to make awesome stuff like that. you are my hero on so many levels. please mail me some of your mad illustration and sketchbook making skillz. I will note you my address *LOL*

I have never heard of this. I thought I was a huge Sharpie whore. Now I feel... "pwn'd" ahahah

Hahaha, excellent. I used to craft sketchbooks, too. It's tedious but a lot of fun also.
