In progress

After the cover starts the adventure.

Here I include these orchids, one of the most beautiful flowers in the world.

This is the first stage of my drawing. Still not finished, I've done directly with calibrated markers you can see in the photographs.

Only use pencil to mark the distances to spend not to invade your territory.

You can see the pictures bigger if you click the mouse over.

Opening my sketchbook

The theme of my sketchbook will  be:

"PASSION FOR NATURE"

I chose this topic because I like nature in general and I like to draw things make me happy.

I started my sketchbook drawing a pink begonias I have in a pot in my studio and you can see in my first entry in this blog.

Scientific name: Begonia cucullata Willd
Common name: Begonia waxy
Family: Begoniaceae
Place of origin: Brazil
Description: Herbaceous erect, very floriferous.
Two varieties. Pink and white

I whis that when you get my sketchbook and start drawing you tries to concentrate and think about the wonderful natura around us that is generous and gives us joy.

I have included the delivery order from us and also my personal address and my e-mail for this sketchbook is not lost.

I am very happy with this adventure and I hope that you enjoy drawing in this sketchbook.

Almost ready to send!

I am just putting the finishing touches on my book, and then off it goes in the mail.

Check back for a sneak peak by the end of the week!

Two and a Half Pages

Let us recall some of the rules of this project as are indicated in the blog  Moly_X_25

Each person does 2.5 pages per round. So you will share a half page with someone, either the person before or after you, depending how it splits, but I would consider overlapping and not ending exactly on the edge as it gives the next person a little something to work with if that makes sense. No one's going to be mad about taking a little more or less. It all evens out eventually. Also, the second round might be confusing, because some people counted the "flap" (the page that is not really part of the accordian) and some did not.

Starting with the project.

Hello, greetings to everyone. I'm Marisol Covelo and I live in Madrid, the capital of Spain (Europe).

Here I present this marvelous sketchbook. This is my first Moleskine Japanese and is a dream to have this jewel in my hands.

It is a pleasure for me to start this adventure with you. I hope all the books arrive at their destination. Please include your e-mail address in your sketchbook. Is very important that we stay in contact by e-mail, FLICKR and this Blog, because I would like each one of us receive our notebooks full when the project ends.

I would like that make your drawings in a maximum of one month to keep the books and enthusiasm for this project. If we delay we will be more difficult to complete this project.

Chris Menice, please, can you include a live chat blog in the column on the right to communicate among ourselves?. Thank you very much for your help.
