In October 2023 I was able to do a fair bit of ‘Inktober’ as I put it in quotes because I often use ink no matter what month it is!

My Traveler’s Notebook got some usage and I filled up a couple watercolor-style notebook refills.

Since watercolor paper for the Traveler’s Notebook is so popular, the shop ran out of the large/tall format paper and I was able to get this small, passport-style booklet. It was a fun size to work with. What I ended up liking most about this size is that it is less tall and skinny than the full-size paper in the photo above, but not square.

I enjoyed seeing so many fall colors in Boulder this year. I think I sort of missed/forgot about fall last year since I was living with my brand new baby. I remember getting outside last year but not as much as this year.

Speaking of Bebe, I was able to make some fan art of him in October.

In October I branched out a bit and took a local embroidery class. It was very fun to learn different stitch types and ultimately make this patterned hand, where each element of the hand was comprised of different types of embroidery stitches.

All in all, a wonderful October! Catch you next month.
