"It's like a concert tour, but with sketchbooks"

That’s the tag line on The Sketchbook Project website, and it sounds fun.

We send you the sketchbook, you make the art. Then Art House is taking all the sketchbooks on a 6 city tour to galleries and museums across the U.S. The goal of the exhibition is to encourage anyone to create artwork and build a collective of sketchbooks made by artists from all over the world.

You can do one too. Clicky.

I love it when stream-of-consciousness web browsing pays off. This
gallery of sculptures is breathtaking. All made from Jute…

Clicky.

I didn’t know what Jute was, so here’s the first part of the wiki
about it:

Jute is a long, soft, shiny vegetable fiber that can be spun into coarse, strong threads. {snip} The fabric made from jute is popularly known as burlap in North America.
