Ready. Set. GO!
Well gang, this is our time to begin. We have a great group of international artists ready to communicate through art. We have a little over one month to get your Japanese moly and finish your sketches before sending them on to the next artist on the list. Here are the objectives of the group:
1. Overall theme: Landscapes, nature or architecture from your part of the world.
2. Give us a little info about what you have created.
3. Sign your artwork.
4. Use 4-5 panels and leave part of the last panel able to be completed by the next artist in the series.
5. Have fun.
Please take some time now to introduce yourselves by posting a little information about yourself and also a sample of your work.
I will send out a list for the rotation, although it will be the same as the list in the artists column. Please plan to send your books to the next artist by the first of each month. Our first rotation will be on August 1. Plenty of time to get your book and get started. Please post your art for this exchange as often as possible so that those in the group (and the world) can all keep up with each others progress. I am looking forward to getting to know you all a little better through our art.
Ready. Set. GO!

Welcome to moly_x_32!
This group, founded by Robin Roberts (USA), 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.
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 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 to make a sketchbook entry, and mail it to the next person. The order is listed to the right.
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.
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.
