...and I wanted to run it by you, here and on Facebook.
I've been in a bit of a dry spell with my sketching, though I have indeed done more than I've shared online. I've been involved with other creative endeavors, of course, eco-dyeing, sewing, creating my little fae poppets, but art journaling, not so much, and it shows. Some of my sketches are downright bad!

There are a number of contributing factors when we lose our mojo...materials, time, circumstances, practice, tools...but June 2, as I did yet another sketch I didn't like much, I wrote in my journal "I think I need to take my own Quicksketch 1 class!"
I think I want to revisit those factors and try to sort it out a bit.
So. The idea kind of took hold. What if I DID, what if I went through the class week by week as it is delivered to those who sign up for it. What if some of you wanted to take it WITH me? What if we discussed it here, and on Facebook?
Any interest?
Let me know...I was thinking I might start August 1. Anybody wanna join me?
