wayfaringwordhackThis 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.

Her uncle, Lord Eustin Sprye, thought she had some small talent as a boxtler--and he would know being a titled boxtling champion himself--but she suspected excelling at a "brutish sport" would not be enough to qualify as an Accomplishment, and in the realm of High Society, it would certainly not make her an Accomplished Young Lady.
And an Accomplished Young Lady was exactly what she was expected to be. If anyone could help her attain that, it was Grandmama.
How about you? How was your week?
