Final pages for the Sketchbook Project!

Finally, the pages for The Sketchbook Project  are finished! (read more about the project here)
The book has to be postmarked by January 15th, so I have 9 days to send it to the US!
The postoffice said that if the book weight less than 500 gram it can be send by airplane, which will take a week.  If it weight more than 500grams it has to go by boat, because there are new safety rules, which will take a month and it will cost €85,-.

I'm happy to say that my book is 450 gram, so i can send it tomorrow,  after I made a little movie and some photo's with a better camera.
Spread 22. This was a sketch for a christmas card, but i was too busy with other projects to work it out...Too bad because i liked the sketch. Maybe next year!

 Spread 23: Beds. Poscamarker, white fineliner, black ballpoint and acrylic on paper. I still love my white fineliner. You can use it on different backgrounds.

 Spread 24: Dress up. Black ballpoint, acrylic and collage on paper.  The cute package-paper is from Hongkong. I put my website on the little label.

Spread 25: Ring. Colored pencil, wallpaper, ballpoint on paper. I never color a face with green/blue, so it was nice to play around with it. The cat-etui you see on the left i gave to my friend last year.

 Spread 27: Black & White. Ballpoint and collage on paper. I tried something new, cutting clothes from magazines and created my own girls around it. I like it!

  1. Hi Marjolein,
    Echt super mooi die illustratie! Bedankt, ik voel me vereerd!Maar is het misschien mogelijk om de illustratie los in te scannen en naar mijn email fashionzen@hotmail te sturen. Ik wil hem namelijk graag gebruiken in een header en bij mijn readers art voegen. Ja, Andrea had het nog gezegd dat ze je kende haha kleine wereld :) Ik vond sowieso al dat je een bekend gezicht had..

    Bedankt!
    Liefs, Iris
