Good grief time flies! Another week has gone by and it’s Paint Party Friday again! I’m sharing another page from my Sisterhood of the Traveling Sketchbooks project. I’ve been mentioning it for a long time now, but if you’ve missed it you can catch up on what it is here. We have already mailed off our sketchbooks to our selected sistah and the fun has started!
This is my sign in page and I struggled for a while as to what to put on this page. I was seeing great ideas from all my Creative Sistahs and didn’t want to flake out. So, I thought long about what this project is and it came to me that our sketchbooks are like a bunch of gypsies, or travelers as I’ve read they prefer to be called. (But I have to say I think gypsy has such a romantic notion, especially to North America and it is not seen as a put down.) Anyway, they are like gypsies in that they are traveling the lands and seas! to bring inspiration and creative fellowship to each of the Creative Sistahs. I keep referring to Creative Sistahs and that is just something I call all of us. There are 13 that have joined this 13 month project. It is closed to new sistahs right now, but if you are interested in doing something like this we will probably be doing another project or if you don’t want to wait start your own!
So here it is, my Vardo or gypsy wagon sign in page. It is a combination of some pictures I’ve found on the net and my imagination. I blurred out my exact address to ward off potential kooks. I liked the idea of peering past a gate to the Vardo to give it a little mystery. Yesterday I gave a first look at my self portrait, see it here.
Please take time to visit the talented artists at Paint Party Friday and here’s your invitation to join us!
Great self portrait and I really like these sketchbook pages.
oh these are fantastic!!!! Wonderful work!!!
Wishing you a happy PPF!!!!
nice wagon, made me think of Cinderella’s carriage for a minute.
What a gorgeous caravan! These pages are great, you definitely didn’t flake out.
The wagon totally reminded me of a carriage too! How funny. Wonderful work. I love to see journal pages because they are typically so personal. Great!!!
WOW, what a FABULOUS idea- I love this! I can’t wait to see it in real life! When’s my turn, again?
Great idea for the caravan! It does indeed suit these wandering sketchbooks.
Beautiful pages! I look forward to eventually seeing them in real life!
Terrific pages and love your gypsy caravan. Annette
Love the caravan , the journal pages and your self portrait is just lovely!
Annabelle xx >^..^<
I totally love your sign in page, the idea of gypsy caravan is so appealing as well. One song I used to listen to over and over on my way to work was “gypsy woman” by Brian Hyland. I love it!
I like the little wagon. Reminds me of gypsys and their travels. I think I’ll go inside and take a nap, tee hee. Great job. Have a wonderful weekend. Happy Mother’s Day.
I love the gypsy wagon – I always thought they had a romantic notion to them as well and like you prefer the term gypsy as to my mind a traveller is someone with a back pack taking a gap year and travelling round the world! These travelling sketchbooks are going to be so amazing from the glimpses I’ve seen so far!
Oh this is so gorgeous! I LOVE your gypsy wagon. You did a wonderful job, Jaime. Hope you have a lovely Mother’s Day on Sunday – hope you get a day of fun! xoxo Theresa

Jaime, that looks like fun. Oh, I think I have a Gypsy in me, can I borrow your beautiful caravan 🙂
Sorry, it has been so long but I finally got over my bug and I finally finished the book. I will blog about it next week.
Have a lovely weekend, T. 🙂
Such a great idea. I love the caravan – so fun ! enjoy this project.
Hi I also carry a notebook or sketch everywhere, is a way to keep the ideas we have anywhere Saludos
Delightful and well done!!! What a fun project!
I thought I saw The Prince inside the gypsy wagon…so funky and beautiful! I love how your mind works! 🙂
YOU are a highly creative sistah!! Keep up the awesome artwork!
Happy to be on this journey with you, Jaime. What fun the sign in pages are !
I hope you have a fun weekend and that the little one is feeling back to himself now.
Hugs !
Wow gypsy van, too cool, & don’t the weeks race, it’s like there’s only 3 days between Fridays LOL!
It´s so fitting to have that as a sign in page to begin the journay. Magnificent colours.
What a great work! Full of fun and details. 😉
Good self portrait and I love the sketch book, have enjoyed all you posts about it.
