Though making my samples I have found that masking tape makes the most structurally sound sketchbook, so I will use it to create my concertina sketchbook. | |||
I want to continue with mark making images from the natural world underneath the microscope. I have decided that to create these images I will use a home-made microscope I have prefabricated for another class- I feel that this will tie in nicely with the home-made sketchbook. It will mean that the images I am drawing from will not be as high resolution as they would be if I was using a professional microscope, but as my mark makings will be quite abstract, I do not mind this. | |||
== Collecting Samples == | |||
It took me a few weeks to obtain the samples that I used in my work as I had to wait until the snow melted. This gave me less time to create the mark makings that I would have liked. | |||

==Finished Product== | |||
This is the finished product and I am fairly pleased with the way the sketchbook turned out. I feel that some of my mark makings are more visually successful than others, however this is to be expected. I also think that with 40 images it is too long- if I were to do it again I would make it 20 pages long but make the pages double sided. Its length as it is makes it very hard to exhibit and photograph. | |||
