Whew...all done

Finally finished my book. It will be mailed off in the morning...

I had a very nice woman paint a portrait of me with the "totems" that she saw around me. These animal spirits are meant to guide and help us. Anyway, if you know your totems feel free to include yours... if you don't feel free to draw what you wish!!! :))

Please check if this info is right

I'm lucky enough to have Melissa in my other two moly exchanges and she does up fantastic little tables that let us know how things are progressing. I had to do it myself this time so I hope it is right. I went back through the posts and messages and complied it above. Please comment to let me know if you think it is different. Thanks.

How are the molys doing?

Its christmas time and things are bound to slow down.....is it possible to have an update on where the molys are, and if there are any in the post?

Fini!

My entries in my Moleskine.
I apologise for taking forever with these!
Lisa, I'll be sending them to you shortly :)

This is the continuation of a drawing I did for Moly-X29, which you can see here.

Cathy's moly

These are my entries at Cathy's book. I hope you like them : )
On post to Emma this afternoom...

Pamela's Moly

Wasn't sure what to do this time. This is just what came out.

Emma's done and dusted!

Last entry into Emma moly...Yay finally finished! Will send it onto you Jan hopefully before the end of the week. One moleskine down.....two to go! (Eva and Lynne I have your molys).

New Adress

Hello everyone, hope things are good all around. I moved all my worldly belongings today and have a new address. It is
550 Jefferson Ave
Brooklyn NY 11221
The above image, ill admit, doesnt exactly have a ton to do with packing and moving, but hes in the process of motion, and im away from any scanning devices...so i raided an old moleskine drawing...cuz a post needs an image, in my world.
(PS Sorry for the repeat message to those of you in my other blogs)

I said I wouldn't send them both at once, but...

Despite what I said, I put the two Molys in the post yesterday to Pamela... look out for them.
I have just scored myself a job! Yeah! So the moleskine barrage will be more one at a time next time. This is Yellbroad's Moleskine. Sully has a silver background, which didn't scan well.

2 down 1 to go in Emma's moly!

Getting a bit worried that Emma will be sending me another "TWO" moly's in the post shortly!
so I am trying to get mine and Emma's finished and in the post to Jan.....before I have a huge pile of everybody's moly's, arriving all at once on my doorstep!

Lynne's Moly, finally done

So, I have two of these moleskines in my posession, the other, yellbroad's... well it is almost done too, but I thought I would share this one with you, before I post the other. I will probably send them off together.

Second Round

These are my entries in Ekaterina's Moleskine. She has those excellent gallant cavaliers and i started out trying to stay in that world. Then i wound up leaving that world.

I found out a few days ago that Im moving again-2008 has seen me in Harlem, Queens and now Brooklyn. Ill make sure to change my address when I know what the new one is.
Hectic times in the year of the Rat!

We’ll post the images on an upcoming post announcing the winners! Also check out our Facebook Company Page to see the latest entries. Entries must be submitted by Friday Nov 14th.

I finished mine!

I'm so so excited about this swap, and I just know that everyone will be doing amazing things in my book. Just watching all of your books come together has been really inspiring!

So here's my book:


The front and back cover. Feathers just don't scan well! It really looks lovely in person.


This was the first spread I finished, and I love how the layers worked together. I did the word page a little bit differently, playing off of the typical bird identification book.


She was a TON of fun to do, and my family really loves her boldness.


This is the only bird I did that isn't made up. I thought the crossbill was such an unusual bird, though, that it would fit in well with my other fantasy fowl.


This is my signature page. I cut out enough eggs (that sit in the pocket at the back of the book) for everyone to write their info on! I think its a fun play on the pocket use.


Here's the template on each of the pages for you guys to use. You have **complete** liberty to work outside of the lines - I just hope having them there will help you know where the head meets the body meets the legs for future cutting. :)

I'll try to get this out in the mail in the next couple of days!

My 3 finally!!

..... I'm thinking of doing a theme of people with animal heads, so if there is an animal you would like me to attempt to do in your book, let me know and I'll try my best!

It's Done and on it's way

Well, firstly here's my cover. Now you can see why I'm asking you to add something to the cover as well. Such a dodgy job on the printing here! Please go crazy on it!
I decided to go with cards - actually that happens a lot to me...
I put my 2nd and 3rd pages randomly throughout the book. Put yours anywhere you like.
I had a bit of trouble with my white paint so I left it out in this one. I actually forgot to sign them - but it doesn't matter because it's me - and this made me think to say that I really want you to sign your drawings in the book, not just the sign-in page please.
My sign-in page is done like a library book. Please put your details on the card and add a date stamp and/or any thing you like to enhance it's borrowed-many-times look.
It's already in the mail to you Yoda!

I am ashamed of my photos... but

I am done!
I'll send my moleskine off this week.

Done my sign-in, soon the rest...

Kind of a bad photo, but, this is the closest I get to a scanner at the moment (still packed in a box at the back of a container no doubt)... so this is my sign in page. I have finished one of my other pieces, but not to be seen until they are all done.

Finally finished

I think I have to send it to Josh Burggraf. Is it right?
