Travel Sketchbooks - Volume 1
Last night I managed to put together some issuu publications of my sketchbooks from my big trip last year. This is Volume 1 which I completed in a week whilst driving through Wales - as I was on my own mainly for this part, I was able to approach every day as a sketchcrawl - wake, sketch, drive, sketch, drive, eat&sketch, drive, sketch, eat&sketch, sketch, sleep! There is no doubt that I was trying to do too much - but oh! I had lots of fun.
I hope this all works - it is exciting to be able to create a version of your sketchbook that you can flip through - like the real thing!

@linda- I do have a small blurb which I have given to friends. It is currently for sale but I plan to improve it slightly... watch my blog for announcement that it is ready.
Love everything you put in there... esp your handwriting.
Good job and you are an inspiration for me today.
I really enjoyed your travel book. I'm glad you like Wales. I live near Builth Wells - a pity you didn't get to visit the Elan Valley. Maybe next time!
Absolutely beautiful travelogue, it definitely gives me inspiration for my own! I never seem to find time to sketch or color while traveling - you remind me to take a moment to sit and really look! Thanks so much for sharing
What a wonderful way to remember the trip! Thank you for sharing!
