What an excellent idea to use old forgotten books to make handmade watercolour books. Thanks for showing all of the different sketchbooks you have used and what qualities you liked about them.
I have used old book covers for years putting acrylic art on them and when I first saw a sketchbook using them, I knew I had to have it. Glad you found the video informative, thank you for watching!
The Five Little Peppers and how they grew Boxed Set was my favorite and most memorable Christmas gift from childhood. It was from my Aunt Nita who was a school teacher. It was the back cover on one of your sketch books. Thanks for the memory.
So I went and ordered from the Etsy shop. So weird, I was thinking of the Velveteen Rabbit and she had one…so I had to order it. Thanks for the review Kelly.
I made my first book on Tuesday, just using what I had in my home. I had some pads and that gave me a back and front cover, and the pages. Started my 3rd book last night, an A4 pad that will become an A5 book. Just getting ready to punch holes and assemble. I have loved making them myself. Don’t think I will buy another sketch book.
Sketchbooks that you make are always the best because they are just what you are looking for to create in. Size, shape, page count, papers, covers - it all about you and how fun is that!
Great video, Kelly ! Very interesting listening to your thoughts and descriptions of those different sketch books. This is my first visit to your channel today and I will enjoy watching some of your previous videos. All the best to you 🤗🤗
We were all beginners at some point, remember that. You find me here after sketching my entire life. Starting from the beginning is a wonderful point to be at because you have so much to learn, try, practice and grow from. Please enjoy the slow and steady process of becoming an artist, there is so much beauty at this stage I promise!

What beautiful art! Live your paintings! I am a new beginner and sketching scares me because I’m not a very good artist, but you are inspiring me
