Recently, I bought one of Mary Roff’s beautiful handmade sketchbooks from her Etsy shop. It’s a piece of art in itself and a joy to work in, so I had to do a review for you.
Please check out my review of this lovely sketchbook at Doodlewash.
REVIEW – Mary Roff Handmade Sketchbook
Published by Life Imitates Doodles Art, Reviews & Tutorials
Artist Ambassador for Zebra Pens. I'm a self-taught artist who dances about with all sorts of artistic mediums. My main loves are Watercolor, Zentangle and Ballpoint pen. The subjects of my work are many and varied and change at whim. I'm a little bit crazy, but doesn't that come with being an artist? At my Life Imitates Doodles Blog, I post a list of resource links for Tangles, Tutorials and Giveaways two times a week. I also write reviews, hold giveaways and share my art work. View more posts

I left a comment at Doodlewash but should also mention that I like your comment about the sketchbook being big enough for lots of detailed work. Somewhat funny to me as I used to work on giant canvases but more recently realized that a small space is just as welcoming to creativity.
There are times when only a big canvas will do, but I’ve got a very small work area, plus I want to finish my works quickly. These days, a 9 x 12 is HUGE for me!
