  2. Hi joojoo,

    I've been following your blog and love your sketchbook. They are always so beautiful! May I ask what kind of sketchbook you are using here? I like the toothieness of the paper from this sketchbook. I have Moleskines but the paper doesn't take colored pencil well.

    Thank you for your time. Have a nice weekend.

  10. dear friends, thanks a lot for your kind comments! You're so sweet and wonderful! Big hugs!! xoxo

    Anais: Thanks a lot dear Anais :) My sketchbook is from a Canadian brand (DeSerres) to be honest with you I prefer Moleskine, but since I had this one I decided to fill it up before I buy a new Moleskine, I hate to waste ;) You can find mine here:

  11. Every single sketch is so beautifully and precisely drawn - I like them all! It was so interesting to learn about your great grandfather and to see his beautiful portraits! I'm sure you are proud to belong to such an artistic family! Your ancestors would have been proud with you, too!:) We have a saying in Bulgaria : "The pear doesn't fall far from its roots"! So you are the proof, Afi!:) Be happy and have a lovely week!

  15. Joo Joo, I'm always excited when I see that you're sharing one of your fabulous sketchbook pages. I look at them over and over, and seem to see something new each time. And your photos/scans are so beautifully done.

    Thank you for sharing the information about your grandfather; I was fascinated by the information on Persian miniature painting. Clearly, you have been gifted with the same talent!!

  19. I love this sketchbook. I have always wanted to keep one, but I found that I have more ideas than drawings in my head so now I keep an Idea Notebook instead. But I love looking at pretty things. Your sketchbook is amazing.
