The Sketchpack Challenge (part 1 - the first 12 days)

I have been taking part in the Sketchpack Project on Facebook for several years. This is an annual  event which takes place each August, organised by Di Metcalf. It's "a sketching initiative open to anyone who wishes to visually record their days during this month."The options are to collect "a flipflap page-a-day journal" (concertina fold "book") from Artsauce (in South Africa) or post the daily drawings online. There are also instructions for how to make your own flipflap page-a-day journal. The sketchpacks are returned to Artsauce at the end of August and are exhibited there during October.

My drawings this year are 3.5 cms square - a life size natural object drawn in black and white (right side of each photo). Two people suggested they would make good tiles so I have photographed and flipped the drawings to make tiled squares (left).
