It's been a long while since I bound some sketch books. Wilma's passing put me in a creative funk. However, I'm slowly getting back into sketching and bookbinding. I used up the last of my sketch journals recently. I signed up for a one-week art workshop last August on getting sketches of people into your sketches and needed to have a journal to sketch in. That was the push I needed to make this batch of journals.
It feels great to be in the saddle again. Several in the class had Instagram accounts. When I got back home I created one, too. So, learning that application and having to replace scan edit software (mine became outdated) put me behind in sketching and posting, but I'm making progress. We'll see if I can keep the momentum going.
I retired a few short years ago. My post-retirement plan was to do some bookbinding for sale and set up an Etsy shop for it. I lost interest when the health problems arrived. Now I'm reconsidering it. Intentions don't necessarily equal reality, so we'll see if I pull it off.
