Two (Simple) Books

Here are two recent books both in process.  Above is a simple Cinch binding sketchbook using  the "paint pick up" papers used in Jane Davies classes, using scrap cardboard for the covers.  Front has a recent sketch attached;  book is 9 x 12 x 1/2". 

 

 

 

 The second book is a color idea sketchbook, and is double recycled!  The paper was originally computer output paper, headed for the recycling bin.  I grabbed it and first used it as scratch paper for working (MANY) problems at Khan Academy.  Then these pages went into a Cinch bound notebook to hold collage for color ideas.  I thought of this as a way to declutter my stacks of magazines, keeping only favorite images and attempting to make interesting color combinations.  Still in progress, but really enjoying this:

 

 

 

 

Seeing these pictures, I realize I chose very similar colors for these pictures.  They aren't all like this but these are obviously favorite combinations.
Dimensions of this book are 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" x 1/2".
