See how I dropped color into each rose as each one began to dry.

Easy Accordion Swatch Book with Simple Bookbinding.


 This swatch book is a great way to get to know your paints. I have swatched all my paints, pencils, markers and art materials by setting aside time each time I make a new purchase to sit down and play. It’s a great discipline to help keep track of what you own! 

We can sometimes feel overwhelmed with the amount of stash we have tucked away in our craft rooms and art studios, and I love having an easy reference for my art materials and craft stash. This fun little book was a joy to make. 

I used my Inktense pencils to create designs on each pebble by drawing directly into the wet paint. 

Have a marvellously creative weekend!
