Some sketches from our latest outings



Here's some sketches by some folks from our outing in Blue Point.

  1. Your sketch club is a lovely idea. I have been making and keeping coptic-bound journals for 13 years now, and inviting "who else is here with us" into my journals through sketches, watercolors, poems, and writing. The coptic binding is particularly nice because it lets the pages lie flat. Another, easier binding it the three-hold pamphlet stitch through a cloth spine reinforced with heavy paper such as bristol. These books also lie flat, can have hard covers, and offer an opportunity for decoration on the spine with beads, etc. You can see examples on my website: www.otterpondbindery.com. I am teaching a coptic-binding journal making workshop in Deer Isle next week, and there is one opening if anyone's interested. Good luck with your sketching! So far the results look promising.
