What started as a photo of our mountains and valley floor turned into a cover for a sketch pad. A friend asked to buy my paints that we use for ceramics. I said she could HAVE them. However, in the exchange, she left me money. We were out walking one day and she was telling me about her birding and mentioning how she'd like to start sketching them.
That opened the door to my purchasing a sketch pad, pens, colored pencils, crayons and a cute little pouch for them. I then set to work making a cover for the plain old sketch pad based off my mountain photo.
I added, subtracted, fixed errors and finally felt satisfied. I have to admit that it was fun to create something other than a card.
