Ultrasound Portrait

This is the second page of a sketchbook I am making to give to my new little granddaughter when she gets older. It tells the story of her first couple of years from my perspective. (The first page is here.)  I remember how amazing it was to see her for the first time via ultrasound. This is her in the second trimester.

For this project, I am using one of the sketchbooks I made.  What a luxury to have such sturdy paper (Fabriano Artistico 140 lb.) to work on! I think I am getting addicted to both using and making my own sketchbooks.  I bought some more paper and cover materials yesterday, and am looking forward to making some more books soon!

  8. That ultrasound looks less medical and so human. What a great idea!
