Sketchbook Project 2012

I FINALLY sat down to get this started.  I pulled the book apart and replaced the paper with watercolor paper.  Instead of having a bazillion pages to complete, I now have just 16 (8 pages front to back).  I think this is much more manageable.  The book can't be wider than an inch when completed so I feel pretty safe with this.

The cover needs tweaking.  I'm not completely satisfied with it yet.

I haven't touched the inside covers yet.  The back cover is complete but nothing to write home about.  Here is the first page:

I like the way this came out.  BUT I NEED TO MOVE AWAY FROM ORANGE!  (I can't help myself sometimes.  The color makes me so happy...)
