Snippet - Something Different

This week, instead of showing you the inside of my sketchbook, I shall show you the outside because asakiyume  recently spoke about stamps. :)

I actually have several sketchbooks, but one of them has a paper cover that is stained and looks rather ratty, so I decided to cover it with stamps (back when we were still in France).  This is taking a while because snail mail is not much in vogue these days and we are living in a country where we don't receive mail through regular channels. :P.  Also, glue-stick adhesive doesn't seem the best for the job and I am forever sticking down the edges of the stamps.  It, therefore, continues to look ratty but in a more artistic, well-used way...or so I like to tell myself. ;)

The mermaid sticker was a freebie from a French artist janedanslajungle when I bought a print of some owls she painted.  I don't get a lot of stickers, so she looks pretty lonely.  I did get one from the skate shop when J bought a surf skate for himself and a skateboard for the kids.  I should find it and put it on the sketchbook, too.



 

On the creative front, some writing and some art happened.  I guess we can color me happy.

( because I need to stop worrying about things sucking and just share from time to time )

How about you?  How was your week?
