"The Wolf and the Raven"

the queen has spoken 👑🙇‍♀️

#sbpprocess #tinysketchbook it is wayyy past the deadline but I finally rebound my tiny sketchbook! Titled "My Dear Future little one(s): what my heart daydreams for you", this bursting chunky has 126 pages and will contain my hopes for my future children. God willing. The left side has an image or some words that ties to my wish on the right page. This was pretty hard for me to make. I should've used my paper cutter instead of using my tiny scissors. And I forgot to use the bone folder on each folded sheet so that the book would be slimmer. But oh well, I still find it cute hehe. I'm thinking of gluing a ribbon to wrap around it so it can actually close lol. Hopefully @thesketchbookproject will accept it! If I'm lucky, it'll go tour around the country in a sweet suitcase. I hope to see other folks' tiny sketchbooks too.

Oh if you've never heard of them, #thesketchbookproject is an opportunity where you can purchase a sketchbook and they'll mail it to you wherever you are in the world. You then fill it up and mail it back and you have the option of it being digitized so that others can look at your #sketchbookproject online. They will also store it at @brooklynartlibrary where anyone can browse for free. I actually have a sketchbook there, so just look up my name and they'll bring it to you. They have 50k+ sketchbooks and they're on their way to becoming a nonprofit so that the library will be free to browse and exist for years to come. I could spend so many hours there. Come with me sometime?

⏳

I haven't begun writing in it, as I don't know where to start. It'll come to me, like it always does. This is meant to be a companion of my other sketchbook, in the first photo, which is also very late and unfinished haha and dedicated to my future babies. I've posted a few pages before. Planning to blog the latter in its entirety and do at least one post on the tiny one. Let me know if you have a sketchbook there so I can check it out!

Video description: timelapse flip through of the tiny sketchbook which is considered a junk journal as it's composed of different ephemera like sticky notes, junk mail, deposit slip, vintage book pages, security backings. There are 126 pages total.

Image descriptions: first photo shows a regular sized sketchbook project with a dime on top of it for size comparison. The tiny sketchbook is being held near the coin.

Second photo: gratitude log from @_paperhands which has spaces for archive no., Date, time where you can circle a.m./p.m., and the days of the week where you write your thankfulness.

Third photo: on the left is a post it note that looks like a watercolor of a yellow cassette tape and the right is a navy page.

Fourth photo: a vintage page from "Revelations: Diaries of Women" which says

"I want--

Time, leisure to draw

feeling, not thinking--to get

I want a chance to play

joy of doing, for no purpose

To understand patient

feel there is no time for the

crowd, filling my days with

with my friends--like a ping-"
