Some of you will have heard of The Sisterhood of the Travelling Sketchbook and some of you will not… a few of you are part of the sisterhood.
Last year, Anne Lawson decided to start a project to draw creative people together around the world. She made a book and invited fellow bloggers to contribute… all the folks who volunteered were women, and so the sisterhood was born.
This week the book arrived with me – the eleventh contributor on the list. From Australia, it went to the US and recently it has been travelling in Europe:
the journey of the sketchbook
It contains drawings, paintings, quilting, stitching… words and visuals… love and creativity. It has its own blog and I encourage you to take a look here at the posts from the contributors, where there are beautiful pictures and lovely thoughts. Here is a little taster of some of the contributions to date:
Sadly one of our sisterhood, Viv, passed away before the book reached her, but some of her words have been included in the book.
I’m currently working on my contribution… news will follow.

/ March 24, 2017So glad it reached you safely, particularly as it’s *bulging* with our joint creative output by this time 🙂 What sort of thing are you going to make for it, do you think? And can I please have a photo for my Sisterhood gallery page?

/ March 26, 2017I am making something yarny, which I suppose is to be expected, but I have an idea that I want to work on in addition to my main contribution. However, I need some more supplies and I was occupied all day yesterday so didn’t have chance to sort them out. Pictures will certainly follow.

/ March 24, 2017I had forgotten about it entirely. I let the thought go probably because I’m not an artist. Those are beautiful entries and looking forward to seeing yours.

/ March 26, 2017I think it’s slightly mis-named… there’s relatively little sketching (there certainly won’t be any from me!)… it’s more of a creative album… and amazingly inspirational.
