As promised, I took my DIY sketchbook, the was the demo for this class, to my local grocery store.  I began by sketching the outside of Aqui from the drivers seat in my car.

The next sketch was done in the produce department of the store.

Having used a bit too much water in my enthusiasm to play, the sketch was taking a long time to dry.

Even after clipping it to my shopping bag and taking it for a stroll around the store, the paper was still damp ... and ... I was hungry for my vegan plant balls on spaghetti squash that awaited me at home.  I paid for my veggies and strolled out of the store.

Next day I returned with only my sketchbook, fountain pen and a few watercolor markers.

I found myself totally entertained by the droopy leaves of the Baby Bok Choy.  The leaves had been so perky the previous day.  When I stop to sketch, I notice so much more and my imagination is sparked to travel along new pathways.

A few more sketchbooks made with just one folded piece of paper:
