Sketchbook Revival is coming up (April 11-21 2026, https://karenabend.com), and the first tutorial they had was making your own sketchbook with "Australian Piano Hinge" binding taught by Sarah Matthews (https://iamsarahmatthews.com).

I've never tried this binding before! Lays very flat and pages are removable!

Cover - food box covered with scrap prints
Interior - sketch paper that I tore out of a bigger sketchbook that DOESN'T lay flat

I just finished watching a session in #SketchbookRevival on Neuro Graphic Art, and I have to say that it certainly made *my* neurons spark!

If you're someone who likes the look of intentional art, I highly recommend checking out Alina https://www.youtube.com/@NeuroGraphicArtwithAlina She lives in Canada but learned the process from the person who invented it.

It is *very* much process and very much ... I want to say "not freeform", but that's also not entirely correct. But either way, it's really super cool if you like colours and lines and arts for meditation #MastoArt #NeuroGraphicArt

I’m finally squeezing in more playful sketchbook time - thanks in great part to #sketchbookrevival
I'm behind on #SketchBookRevival. Here's my contour sketch with color blocking for the first day.
I'm looking forward to more sessions.
