Carrying on from yesterdays posting about the Sketchbook Project tour to London look at the stunning book of Kim Tillyer's of North Yorkshire.
As you can see from the front cover Kim's theme was "Fears and Tears", her sketching is exquisite and I wanted to take it home with me.

This is the book of Emma Elizabeth Clease from Devizes, Wiltshire and her theme was "Fabulous Florals"
I love this book each page is hand painted, stitched and has cutouts. You can see the back of the painted/stitched pages are as attractive as the front.

Before I ran out of time I looked at Margaret Chalmers book, she is from Leeds and her theme was "Stitches and Folds". It was cleverly done using words, tags and pin pricked patterning.

MARGARET CHALMERS BOOK
This book is the one that was on the shelf next to Margaret's. It belongs to
Henrietta Coppes of the Netherlands. I was so glad to have been given the chance to see as it was really effective. Both Sally and I wanted to take it home.

Sadly I ran out of time as we were heading off to see War Horse at the New London Theatre. Otherwise I could quite easily have stayed a lot longer.
If anyone wants to have a go next year you can find out more by going onto any of the links above.

You certainly saw some quality sketchbooks - I've really enjoyed looking at them - thank you. I've also put a link to your blog in my blog post, so other people can share your wonderful trip to London.
ReplyDeleteThanks again!
That's great Diana, it's lovely that we can all share our books x
DeleteThank you so much for visiting my book. You certainly chose some good ones...our approach was more scatter gun and we got some stinkers! I need to spend some time in the online library checking out some of these. Thanks again Lynn, hope War Horse didn't make you cry too much xxx
ReplyDeleteIt did Kim and the rest of the audience xx

DeleteSome more amazing work on show today Lynn, they are all so beautiful, I particularly like Kim's book, simply because I love her drawings. Thank you for sharing them. Doodly birds win every time for me though. Crafty hugs, Anne x

Some more wonderful examples Lynn. I particularly liked Kim & Henriette's of this selection, although they all have incredibly inspiring qualities. It is something I think I would like to try....one day.....maybe :0)
ReplyDeleteYou would do a fabulous book Mo with all your new found craft skills. Maybe we could do one together.
