Reusing An Old Book

001 peace page drawing 002 courage page drawing

I have been creating and posting away for over a month now – the only problem, it’s all been shared on Facebook! My poor blog. Let me start off by sharing two sketches I did on book pages. Now I am a book lover. And when this old paperback book of mine from high school and it was cracking and falling out of the cover, I could have thrown it into the recycle can. Instead I decided to draw on the pages. I always wanted to, but I would hear my mother’s voice in the back of my head of how special books are and how we treat them with care and love. So now, I feel no guilt because it was coming apart.

I enjoyed doing “Peace”. I was alone in the house, drawing away with my pens. After that, I did “Courage”. I think it was because I kept thinking of my daughter’s birthday and all the preparation that still had to be done in less than a week. It was an anime themed party with Japanese food. My debit card had also been compromised, which made it harder to get everything ready. Did I mention it was also a slumber party? Yeah, with lots of teenagers – I felt like I needed some courage at the time.
