Hand made sketchbooks

I've been busy at work this week, what with making lots of giant fruit and nuts from felt. Ialso had fun teaching Thursday's drawing and painting class. We were making our own sketchbooks and I made these examples to show. The children's own sketchbooks were actually much more interesting than mine but I didn't get good photos to show you. They have now taken them home and their first assignment is 'draw a place which is special to you - real or imaginery'. Lets see what they come up with.

A little book

As some of you may know my full time job is working with children. I'm based at a historical house in London which is set in a picturesque park. The children visit the house and the park and part of my job is to create educational and fun activities for them. Earlier this year I made this little activity book for the children. I was really pleased with it and it's inspired me to think about making some zines in 2010.

The styles

Have you seen the new group 'What I wore today' on flickr. It's brilliant. I've done two drawings for it so far. Here they are

Happy First Day of Autumn!
