Holey Moley! - Japanese moleskine exchange
Welcome to our new home! Here is the basic info....as people ask questions and they are answered, I will add the info to the first post.
1. Every artist starts with a Japanese folded moleskine (name, address, username, as well as travel-plan written in book). The owner of the moleskine decides whether the contributions of the other artists to her moleskine should follow a certain theme or not. If you have another moleskine already, that's fine!
2. Each artist will draw, make a collage, paint, or use whatever media on 3 and a half pages per moleskine. After finishing an entry the moleskine will be send to the next person. Each artist gets as much time as they need to finish their contribution to each moley within reason.....I suggest 1 month is a good guideline to try and work to. If you are having a busy month and need more time, that's cool, just keep the group well informed. The first entry will be made by the owner of the moleskine. Artists are encouraged to interact with the other images in the book. Please be respectful.
3. When the book is full, i.e. when one side of the unfolded book is filled, the book will be sent back to its original owner.
4. Please communicate regularly in this thread. Let us know that you received or sent a book.
5. Most important: let’s enjoy this adventure and have fun!
Can everyone send me their address please and I will make a central file with rotations and addresses on them.
Please people let me know your themes!
If people would like to decorate their cover and do their first pages and upload them to the thread that would be nice so we can see some eye candy.
I plan for us to mail off our journals for the first rotation at the beginning of August. That gives us plenty of time to buy/order our moleskines and do our coveres and first pages.
One last thing...there is a pouch at the back of the moleskine that we could put little things in if we wanted...suggestions have been made for an ATC in your own theme or an ATC that represents your art or style.
It has also been suggestion to include a photo of ourselves on the back of this ATC, up to you!
