UFO finished!

i finished up this UFO today. 

it is hand appliqued with my little fried egg flower and my favorite doodle- swirls.












guessed what it is yet?
















it's a cover for my LA sketchbook. it's not a pattern, i made it up as i went along.

the reason it took so long to finish was i was figuring out how i wanted to 'carry' my colored pencils. today i figured it out- a zippered pocket on the flap.

the motavation to get it finished is for my LA class next week in NY. as the teacher, i couldn't show up with a plan ole sketchbook now could i? *smirk*

  3. you are going to look so fab with that fancy cover. Your students will be impressed...but after you teach them your stuff they are going to be blown away and won't care how you cart your pattern sketches around! Trust me-you are going to be wonderful; have fun too!

  5. That looks terrific!! I think you should make them to sell; I'd buy one...especially if it was filled with your sketches! My books never look that neat and tidy!

  8. Love the sketchbook cover, and a place to put the colored pencils. Have you thought about teaching at MQS? Your posts on APQS Forum with your "Doodles" are fabulous.
