Seeing your sketchbook pages, presented here, is simply a delight! Thank you for sharing! I have found a sketchbook to be very empowering in terms of helping me to sort out what is, and what is not important in my art. I love that it frequently leads me in new directions that I never would have come to by any other method! I don't have much knowledge of art materials and their toxicity, but I wish you all the best in your search.
