Creating a pocketbook gallery


My friend gave me a little Moleskine notebook with a house stamped on front.  As far as notebooks go, it is pretty darn adorable.  A few days ago, I had this idea to fill the pages with clippings of my sketches and then give the mini book back to my friend.  In a sense, the notebook is like a portable art collection of my works, thus the name, pocketbook gallery. 

I wanted the notebook to still be usable, so I left some space on the pages for short notes or doodles.  I figured if my friend had to write her contact information on a piece of paper, it might as well be a piece of art that someone would want to hang onto for a little while. 

I had fun putting together this pocketbook gallery, and I look forward to working on another one in the near future.  Maybe as the prize for the next giveaway perhaps?

  3. I have thought about making one for the Etsy shop. I'm open to ideas.

    Thanks for the encouraging feedback!
