Or rather, page half... I still have one project (at least) I was supposed to finish before this, but I couldn't help myself anymore, and so today, when Ned, my husband were making work phone calls at home, I went to my favorite coffee shop and worked on this.
It feels very strange to draw or paint in someone else's book. I felt like i broke into a stranger's house and eat their food from their fridge or slept on their bed.
After giving a shot to the moleskin sketchbook in this, rather then the watercolor version which I usually get, I have to say, for me, watercolor is definitely the way to go for me. This paper is coated and it doesn't take watercolor very well, I manage ot make it work, but had to use a lot more paint and less water, and some of the subtelties are lost.
I might have to use markers for the next pages.

Aya, you've drawn in my book -- we are not strangers, but friends now :-) so you may eat from my fridge & sleep on my bed with my blessing, HA! I LOVE what you drew in my Flock of Needles. Undisciplined watercolor be damned!
I just got home from NC, almost a week offline. All these posts are nice to come home to! Can't wait to catch up on my viewing...
Well done... I would have been stumped as to what to draw in that space.... your solution is beautiful
Very cool - makes the needles & threads reminiscent of a shattered window.
It's fab, really.
I so agree that the water color moles are better--for water colors!!
You were very courageous to sleep in Hennie's bed. But Hennie's a good cook and hostess, so I hope you enjoy yourself.
Nice work. It came out well! Sometimes the effect of undisciplined water colors, while frustrating, can be quite interesting! :-D
Wonderful!
