It's so lovely I had to have it - the Inspired by Nature Sketchbook by award winning Dutch nature artist Marjolein Bastin. It features a unique blend of her nature-filled sketches, completed artwork and blank pages. She favors pencil and paint brush (watercolor) recording whatever piques her interest - places, thoughts and ideas. On the left side of the page are her initial sketches and personal reflections - a diary of sorts. While on the right is a finished painting the sketches inspired - giving a glimpse into her creative process. Following are numerous unlined white pages for you to document your own experiences. These pages have hand-drawn borders or some form of embellishment like a small bird or flower. They measure 6.8 x 8.8 inches (17.3 x 22.4 cm). Attached to the binding is a light blue textile bookmark and at the back of the book a Nature's Finds and Treasures Envelope. Marjoleins love of nature comes through in her artwork. Capture the moments that are significant to you in this beautiful book! If you can part with it, it would make a great gift. Andrews McMeel Publishing released the 192 page paperback on May 14, 2019.

ReplyDeleteAs claimed by Stanford Medical, It is in fact the ONLY reason women in this country get to live 10 years more and weigh 42 pounds lighter than us.
ReplyDelete(Just so you know, it has absolutely NOTHING to do with genetics or some hard exercise and really, EVERYTHING related to "how" they are eating.)
BTW, What I said is "HOW", and not "WHAT"...
