Drawing on Envelopes

To take the fear out of drawing, I made a sketchbook out of envelopes. Silly as it may seem, I have been afraid of messing up my actual sketchbooks. Practicing shouldn't stress me out. So, solution, envelopes. Doodling on an envelope is no big deal. It was going in the garbage anyway. Now I'm drawing every day and enjoying art again. 

Here is a glimpse into my sketchbook.

I cut the envelopes open, then used a three hole pamphlet stitch and bedspread weight cotton to sew them together into a piece of folded watercolor paper. There are many videos on how to sew a journal. Here is a link to one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LukA-9aHW4o
