Have you been following the travels of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Sketchbook? Lynn, who blogs at Tialys, has just published her gorgeous entry. She beautifully captures the essence of all of us in her piece as the sisters hold hands around the world, uniquely individual in hairstyle and dress (and yes hats) yet united by a love of art, craft and sisterhood. She also recaps the entries as the book continues around the globe.
from The Sisterhood of the Travelling Sketchbook
Last year I mentioned that Anne Lawson, a talented botanical artist, instigated a sketchbook which would start with her in Australia and make its way around the World to interested parties who signed up for the project and, at each stage of the journey, a new entry would be made. As everybody who signed up for it is a woman, it became known as ‘The Sisterhood of the Travelling Sketchbook’. I believe there have been others but this one – our one – began life in the Spring of 2016.
I cannot draw or paint to save my life, nor have I ever attempted to write poetry, but I knew that other media was acceptable so thought I’d join in for fun. Then I started dreading its arrival when I saw the standard of entries as they were added to the book then…

This has been such a rewarding project. I’ve “met” lots of new, creative bloggers as well. You know how it goes. I think that might be me in the pink hat. 😉
So, discussions abound on the final resting place for this gorgeous journal. One idea is to auction it off and donate the money to a women’s charity. I believe one of the sisters is working on that now. Stay tuned. xo

Hello from the train heading to New York. I have Kelly by my side. We’re going to meet two more bloggers while there, Joe and Patti. Pretty exciting.
This project is exciting. I wish everyone could hold the sketchbook at least once. It’s extraordinary.
Thanks for taking the time to comment, Marlene.
