Inside the sketchbook

I realise this isn't a sketchbook in the normal sense. I used to be a prolific drawer throughout my childhood and youth, and with painting, as a young adult. This gave way to collage and alternative forms of creating. I'm now very much a computer geek, doing much of my visual work there. I use craft, assembly, and construction to give my stories and images form. And, I have recently returned to my lifelong love of sewing, bringing in embroidery and applique to make new textile based art and crafts. As for this so-called sketchbook, it's more of a concept piece, a bit of altered book art. It fits the brief only in that some portion of the moleskin remains, and the pages hold a series of experiences in time, found objects put into a sketchbook.
