Have just discovered how easy it is to upload photos, so here's my first: Bressay lighthouse in Shetland, with the ferry from Aberdeen in the background.  I stayed in the lighthouse keepers' cottages in April 2012 for Rachel Hazell's Extraordinary Expandable Sketchbook Journal workshop, and what a great time we had.

My book is, of course, still not finished.

Managed to use 3 tags as a miniature 'book', photo corners, mini brads, and Orla Kiely giftwrap (which I love Love LOVE) for a homemade envelope.  Disappointingly I used hardly any washi tape - what am I going to do with it all?!  Not that I learnt my lesson, as I bought two more rolls from the Peerie Giftshop in Lerwick after the workshop had finished.

I arrived on (or should that be 'in') Shetland a few days before the workshop started.  A visit to Jarlshof and Sumburgh Head provided lots of lichen photo opportunities, and some beautiful weathered paint and metal at Sumburgh Head lighthouse.
