Perfume Time

Pen and Wash.  Anick Goutal - Hadrian, my favorite.  The first time I bought this was in Paris, at a small shop near the Musee D'Orsay.  I have been enchanted with it since.

I had the opportunity to do something really, really cool this weekend.  A friend of mine, whom I met in the San Diego Plein Air group, who is also the leader of the San Diego Urban Sketchers, taught me and another one of her friends how to make your own Sketchbook!  I brought my own cover papers (an old decorative paper I have had for years) and my own inside cover paper (a shopping bag from the James Joyce Museum in Dublin), and of course my own sketch/watercolor paper to fill the book.  

Some photos of the result:
