I often find myself feeling the urge to lift pages out of one journal and put them into the next and it's surprising what fresh connections I make when I do. The pages of work can seem to have a life of their own and to be telling me of these connections that I'd missed.Charlton Stitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052815242463837033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995249205815458488.post-73118088288275812602014-03-27T12:38:12.125+00:002014-03-27T12:38:12.125+00:00I always find it fascinating seeing, reading, or h...I always find it fascinating seeing, reading, or hearing about artists' thinking processes. The presentation of the sketchbook can be revealing too. Most of all, however, I think that they can be invaluable for the artist themselves much later when new eyes can be cast on previous ideas.Olga Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10554469124546960971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995249205815458488.post-54729854479787867552014-03-27T08:12:25.926+00:002014-03-27T08:12:25.926+00:00Someone suggested recently that I should perhaps w...Someone suggested recently that I should perhaps work in book form, a thought maybe ... sometimes ...Charlton Stitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052815242463837033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995249205815458488.post-63057953813675292232014-03-27T08:08:17.692+00:002014-03-27T08:08:17.692+00:00Anny, it would be lovely to meet you.

To me they are a great pleasure to look at. <br />Although I also keep smaller freer sketch books, my journals are rather neat and contained. They feel in a way like mini exhibitions put together for my own enjoyment. I was a primary school teacher in another life and I just can't stop myself double-mounting my work! Not sure what that says about me.Charlton Stitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052815242463837033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995249205815458488.post-67471712925664362072014-03-26T19:41:28.386+00:002014-03-26T19:41:28.386+00:00I love looking at other people's sketchbooks, ...I love looking at other people's sketchbooks, from this sample yours look great.
