of 99% of the drawings I've made, mostly in the very early hours of each morning--with coffee, right after writing in my journal. I used to have them loose, in portfolios or packed in those plastic sheet protectors in large notebooks. They were all over the place. Way messy. Way too hard to try to look through them. Once I began making handmade books, my approach changed. I saw a video on youtube about how to bind loose pages and got to work on binding all these small (usually 5 x 7 inches or so, give or take) drawings into books. The bindings of the loose drawings are the ones with the horizontal stitchings on the spines.

Here are 3 newly bound books. I'm waiting for my inner designer to come up with some sort of title to put on the covers.
On the right is a drawing from 2008. Just below is a collection of drawings of many different sizes.  It was too hard to try to organize these hundreds of drawings by date, so I did it by size, sort of. Anyway, there are only 3 or 4 more books of these drawings to bind.

​On the left is a recent drawing of 2017. I'm now making sketch books with different size pages already sewn into them.
