Off the shelf

Some of my "studio time" recently has been used to revisit past sketchbooks and scrapbooks. This one was made out of A3 photocopy paper; the wallpaper cover folds out. I used it to collect images of "blue things" before, during, and after a bout of indigo dyeing.I was thinking about the sky, and buildings reflecting the sky
and clouds moving across the sky
and even skies that aren't blue -
In the back of the book, hidden in the folding cover that can be used for storing loose bits of paper, were the notes from several courses I'd all but forgotten about, including one of a series of drawing courses at the V&A about 10 years ago -
We drew faces (and feet) in the sculpture court; I wish I could remember the tutor's name....
