from my sketchbook: Bishops Ranch

the cover ~ by Jane LaFazio
I showed you some of my sketchbook from Bishops Ranch in this blog post, with a promise for more.
The cover, above is from a cereal box (like I teach in my online workshop "Cereal Box Journal.")
I created the inside pages of the book from hot press watercolor paper.

This page, below, was a series of drawings, as inspiration for a stamp design, and then some ideas for small stamps.

This page, below, is a series of sketches of the things in nature, around the ranch, with an idea to create them in embroidery stitches.

These two pages are the stamps the students designed in my workshop.

Obviously, I could go back in and finish some of the pages, adding more journaling or photos...and maybe I'll get around to that. But for now, this remains a fine record of my time at Bishops Ranch, in Northern California.
