The next few weeks are going to be filled with lots of travel for both dolly business and a little vacation time in Illinois visiting family! (Definitely looking forward to that). I'm sure it's going to be a busy time and although I always take my oil pastels and sketchpad along, it's not always easy to find time to finish a full blown, color poppin' Pop Art Mini. So I've decided I'll be taking along an easy to handle, tuck inside and ready to roll journey sketchpad paired with a trusty fine point sharpie marker and my colored pencils...just in case there's time for a Pop of color!. The perfect mix for some on the go sketches!
So with the trip fast approaching (only 3 days away) I thought I'd break in the sketchpad before take off....take it for a test drive of sorts! Here's a peek at my first entry inspired by a dolly friend that hangs out in my studio nest!
Big Eyes Blythe Style!

And since it's Sunday that means it's time for Sunday Sketches...a perfect place to share the kick off of my "Sketchy Journey Journal"
Pop by and join in the fun!
Ok, better start thinking about packing the other stuff too...like clothes, shoes, etc.
Happy Trails!
