I see the book as sort of the "empty space of a gallery" and you can put in that gallery space anything you like, in any order. Even if the "gallery space" already has a placard with a bio about you, does that mean you shouldn't make a biographical statement through a work of art you place in that room?

I LOVE thi...oh Eden!!! "Ta-da" is right!!<br />I LOVE this page!<br />the rainbow progression is stunning and vibrant. I love how you have made it more rich by varying the shades of the colours within their line.<br />the black and white bird contrasts very well.<br /><br />my idea would be to just leave that cloud blank until one day your intuition speaks up with what to put in!Libertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02615096271313967218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6030942.post-17252247124281050572010-08-11T09:48:34.674-04:002010-08-11T09:48:34.674-04:00This is a stunning intro page, Eden!!!

Love the rainbow-colored dots in the background, with the B&W birdie ~~ absolutely stunning! As for the bio in the bubble, my thought, also, is to go for it. I'm thinking, "what if the card in the front pocket gets lost from the book?" Should that happen, your info would still be in the book!<br /><br />Also, in your first picture, I THOUGHT you had rebound the book on the short side (there realized in a subsequent pic, that this wasn't so) ~~ but what a cool idea!<br /><br />K, I've read the 'instructions' and GOTTA do this now, lol! Thank you for sharing this, and your awesomeness, with me! Your book is going to be AMAZING!!!Jeanne Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16894506589763260402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6030942.post-54613983301828704382010-08-11T08:03:09.026-04:002010-08-11T08:03:09.026-04:00I think this is a great first page and agree with ...I think this is a great first page and agree with Rebecca that it doesn't matter if your "official bio" says something similar. Your bird is too cute and I love all the colors.<br /><br />That page will definitely make people anxious to look through all the rest of the journal.<br /><br />xoxoVicki Holdwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05080822190815460018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6030942.post-25412526765092609872010-08-11T07:08:08.126-04:002010-08-11T07:08:08.126-04:00What a fabulous start to your sketchbook, I could ...What a fabulous start to your sketchbook, I could look at those zentangles all day!! I think the ROY G BIV as your fist page pallet here is very inviting! I was a little curious about the pocket in the front but it will be on the black inside cover so I wouldn't worry if you still wanted to illustrate the words on your welcome page, it will look amazing. Even if it says similar things to the card they will be inserting, there is nothing like that hand written artsy style you have(O: As I look at this bird waving and it looks like it's about to tell me something I'm about to see as I flip through your sketchbook. Hi birdie!! Well done Eden, you're off to a great start here!!Rebecca Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00968670936533131424noreply@blogger.com
