Thinking about I chat I had with my friend Linda yesterday has inspired me today. She very wise and sees life very clearly (she also forwarded me your site which was an added perk!)

Yes, I use a sketchbook. I mostly write and do really fast and rough thumbnails in them.

I’m always inspired by places I’ve been too. Sometimes it’s small places like the local bakery and sometimes it’s big places like San Francisco. The world is a pretty interesting place.

My camera is my sketchbook. I work in all fabric so I have folders with inspirations. I keep multiple pinterest pages. Today the snowfall that is covering my woods is my inspiration. Thanks for this giveaway.

I’ve come rather later to art journaling from a textile background and have found it immensely satisfying. Like most of us, I have a number of books on the go – two in different sizes specifically for sketching/doodling/zentangling and four in various sizes for art journaling, one handmade. Inspiration comes from everywhere – classes, nature, books, magazines, the internet, etc. At present, I’m particularly enjoying creating faces and exploring new materials and techniques. Sketching and journaling are keeping me sane in an insane world!

I have several sketchbooks because I can’t keep track of one: in wrong room, left in car etc. Sometimes, I am surprised to look through my sketchbook and see things that I don’t remember and wouldn’t think to do in the present. Having the book format allows me to see the history of my work and inspiration. My inspiration comes from nature and taking lines from common objects and simplify them to shapes that no longer create an identifiable object. I found your book about a year before I had your class. I like trying the exercises when I need a break from current projects. I would enjoy using a thermofax in my work. I want to commit to at least 15 minutes a day. It is the dailiness that I think will grow my work in the next year. I would enjoy using thermofax to expand my use of techniques.

Today I was inspired by many things that I saw at the Georgia Quilt Expo in Atlanta. Especially a group of challenge quilts done by the Chicago Modern Guild based on favorite artworks. The guild members swapped information and made quilts for each other. It was really interesting to see the various ways that the artworks were interpreted. Starting a sketchbook is next on my do-list.

My camera serves as my sketchbook these days. I love texture and old worn-out and decrepit things, and am working on translating my photographs into fabric art. It would be wonderful to have a Thermofax screen made from one of my photographs.

My camera is my sketchbook these days. I am fascinated with texture, and old worn-out and decrepit things. I’m working on turning those photographic ideas into fabric art. I would be thrilled to be able to turn one of my photographs into a Thermofax screen.

I moved from my lifelong home in California to Ohio a little less than two years ago. I have sketchbooks going back 30+ years to college, many with drawings and inspirations and an equal amount of lists. (I love to make lists.) Since moving here, I keep most of my creations in my head, with great detail. I’m still working on getting them out of my head and onto paper.

This voluptuous spring day here in Tasmania has totally inspired me today – snowy white cherry flowers, deep purple irises, bees buzzing in the oak tree as well as the wattles and eucalypts – I’ve leapt around with my camera and some of these images will end up in my workhorse – my thematically inspired ‘flowers and garden views’ sketchbook – where I’ll glue some images, draw, subtract, paint, collage and print until the moment comes when I know ‘this can be a quilt’! Just love the process!
