Summer 1112 Day 1 - A tourist day!

Tourist!!!!!
Being a tourist - take 2
What a day!!! Day 1 of my adventure in Sydney! Awoken by a headache...but it eased enough for me to go out just before lunch... ended up filling 14 spreads today. Doing touristy things in the Rocks and Circular Quay area. Stunningly beautiful afternoon... blue sky and sun is a rarity this summer so I made the most of it. I love my hometown! Museums tomorrow!

I really like the colored grid lines you've started drawing in the background. Do you draw them freehand? I need guidelines to journal on my pages, and I've found no easy way to lay down the lines. I don't want to fuss with a ruler or with erasing pencil guidelines. I love your blog so much! Keep it up.

Dear Liz,
Just to say that I loved your drawings; specially the one that you could do on the boat´s deck - such a hostile surface...
Merry Christmas!
Miguel

Thank you Staci - these were all done freehand but I do have a special guideline page that I can see through my page.

Thanks Miguel- Merry Christmas to you and your family!
