I had a great afternoon. I was listening to a book on tape (cd) in one computer while I did the drawings for the sketchbook using photos from my laptop! (it isn't fixed yet but I brought it back while waiting for a part so I can use the photos stored there) I used the Elegant Writer Caligraphy pen and a wet brush. I like the results so much, I think I will try a half sheet painting using this combination of materials. The Frenchman better look out!

These are knock-your-socks-off gorgeous, delectable, intriguing, splendid. I love the effect of the 'make it yourself' book. So, so creative.
Very strong faces you've got there, Myrna. I can smell fear coming from the Frenchman.
This is awsome!
You've inspired me!
Stunning!
I love these !!
Just knew something magical would come of those patterned backgrounds. How did you manage so many so soon??. A stunnning series of work all in one beautifully crafted accordian book.
WOW! Nothing more to say...
Oh MY, these are just wonderful!! I love the calligraphy and collage-like effect, not to mention those strong, moody faces...
This is truly spectacular. Each page is so interesting! What a lot of work, but you've produced a wonderful and completely unique artifact!
These are fabulous Myrna ,hope you bring them to the crit group today.They are so creative and the underling paper gives such expression and mood to the beautiful drawings.
I love your technique it is very unique. It looks like you enjoy your work/fun. ;-)Rhonda
This is so awesome,impressive and creative! I just love it.
Brilliant.
Great use of mixed media/collage. I hadn't thought of using tissue paper. It's something I will definitely try.
Your portraiture skill is awesome.
Splendid.
I too, am so impressed. Your sketchbook is beautiful. I would like to try it...I will have a VERY long piece of watercolor paper left over from my next commission. I can accordion fold and make a book!
I think this would be a lovely demo...I would like to be in the audience if you should demo your sketchbook making.
Quite stunning and most intriguing.
These are all very striking. Some of them made me think of Kathe Kollwitz and her work.
Hi Myrna,
Love what you ended up doing with the textures.

These are impressive - your portraits are awe-inspiring, and the patterns add so much interest. I'm so happy to have wandered over to your blog.
I love your experiments! This one in particular is super.
Myrna
