Robins, wrens, a sleepy little hedgehog, a dormouse tucked up for winter, and more berries than any hedgerow could hold. 🍂 I couldn't help myself. I wrapped across the double spread of my new sketchbook, and the thing that always happens happened again. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻.

A poem, a sketch, a journal entry? And if you've ever stuck something into your sketchbook, a ticket, a leaf, a scrap of wrapping paper, share a photo in the comments. I'd love to see it.

I have a little confession. In the middle of the night - when I couldn't sleep, I ordered not one but TWO sets of metallic watercolors, 🤣and now I'm watching the door waiting for them to arrive 😄 I think they will be great for a secret project I've got coming up in the run-up to Christmas. 😍 It started because a couple of you have been sharing work in the daily thread made with these shimmery paints, and I couldn't stop looking at it. The way they catch the light is just gorgeous. Golds, coppers, pearly pinks, those deep peacock blues... they look like little pots of treasure. - - - - - - - - - - - - So I'm really curious to hear from you. ✨ Have you tried metallic paints yet? What was it like the first time you swirled a brush through one? 🖌️ If you haven't, would you give them a go? What would you want to paint with them first? 📸 And if you've already used them in your sketchbook, I'd love to see it! Pop a photo in the comments if you fancy sharing. - - - - - - - - - - - - As soon as mine turn up, I'll share my first play with them here, and we can figure them out together 💛 💬 Tell me in the comments: have you tried metallic paints, and what do you think of them? 👇

Sketchbook Magic finished on Monday and I have loved every minute of it 💛 Before I start planning what comes next, I would really like to know what the week was actually like from your side.
