Off to Yvonne!
Hi everyone!
I finally found the time to draw. Below you can see the result. The pictures are a bit dark, since I have no scanner here (I stay at a dorm during the week).
My moleskine is now off the Yvonne. Hopefully she'll receive it this week.
Now I'm preparing to draw next to Diana's beauty...

Fast on the heels of Diana...
Fast on the heels of Diana, this is the first piece of work I have done between trying to clean up my flat, painting (walls and window sills...) getting ready to go. I guess I'll send this off this week! Can't wait to see what everyone else does for their first entry...
(Don't stress Martin, I hope to get your Moleskine this week, and I'll send it off for you, so you can start!)

The beginning
Welcome to moly_x_47!
Moly_x_47, founded by Emma Kidd (France), is an extension of the Moleskine Exchange. This blog will follow the adventure of a group of artists around the world, in a Japanese fold Moleskine sketchbook exchange. Our current group includes the artists listed to the right, including contributors in the US, Germany and Belgium, The Netherlands, and Argentina.
Each artist will set off with a small Japanese (accordian) folded Moleskine. Creating a drawing, collage, or painting, then send on to the next artist. Each artist will draw on a couple of spreads (3-4 pages) then send it on to the next artist. When the artists book is filled, it will be returned to the owner with images created by artist around the world. Each artist has a month (give or take) to make an entry. The outcome will be a pleasant and surprising adventure, as artists are encouraged to interact and merge their art with others.
The concept:
1. The artists start with the Japanese fold Moleskine - Name, address, email address written in book.
2. Each artist gets 1 month (give or take) to make a sketchbook entry, and mail it to the next person. The order is listed to the right -- for participants in this exchange, look at the list of names under MAILING ORDER. If you ever need to update addresses, please feel free to contact your partners directly! An important part of this project is to discuss and exchange information and ideas.
3. Each artist will do 3-4 pages each round.
4. Artists are encouraged to interact with other images in the book. Please be respectful, but also don't hesitate to meld your art with earlier entries.
5. When the book is full, when one side of the unfolded book is filled, the book will be sent back to its original owner. That artist may continue by buying a new book and sending it to the next person.
6. If a person decides not to continue, she will simply keep her book when it comes back to her. She should email all of the participants to say she is not going to continue. We will decide, then, if we want to find a new person.
7. Please communicate regularly via email. Let each person know that you have received/sent the book. The goal is to have a dialogue. Any comments and questions are welcome.
