The Norway Drawings
While I was in Norway this summer with my family, we were constantly on the move. I didn’t have time to sit and draw as much as I would have liked to, which makes these few drawing that I did, all the more valuable I think.
In the order I drew them, and the order they appear in my sketchbook:
Bergen, 7•30•15
Bergen, 8•2•15
Camille’s sketchbook
While on a family trip to Norway this summer, I saw my cousin Camille writing/drawing in a cool notebook, she said she got in Mexico. I told her I do bookbinding and offered to make her one when we got back…well we’ve been back for a few weeks and here it is.
The paper I used for the cover is handmade that I bought in a boutique while we were In Norway, so in addition to just looking cool it’s a good momento of our awesome trip. Below are some pictures of the book while in different stages of making it.
