Making sketchbooks with Mexican Handmade paper

I had some scraps left over from painting on this beautiful handmade Mexican paper.

In the Mexican tradition of not wasting anything, I used the scraps as a cover for some of my handmade sketchbooks.

These sketchbooks are the perfect size to keep in my front shirt pocket

And they are made with great drawing paper, so I’m ready whenever I am inspired to make some art.
