In case you missed it

offcntrIt's October!
Which means it's time for another drawing-a-day challenge for Frank. This year's my fourth, so I'm calling it Quadtober (half of an octo), and have made a special sketchbook. I started with an indigo-dyed bookcloth cover I made last April at the Newport Paper and Book Arts Festival. Folded three signatures of good, heavy mixed media drawing paper. Figured out a piercing and stitching diagram--I've never done this style of long-stitch binding before. Decided to class up my cover by putting brass eyelets in the holes. Got some navy blue crochet thread and hey presto! I have my 2022 sketchbook.
Did my initial drawing last Saturday at Market, and am now six drawings in. We're going down to the Cascades Raptor Center for my birthday tomorrow, see what I can capture there. As in previous years, I'll post pics more or less weekly, under the tags "inklings" and "quadtober."
