Barbara's Moleskine is done

Hi guys! This is Barbara's moleskine. All good and ready to go!

I played around with some of the drawings on the book. I really liked Barbara's lady so I covered her up with some blooms and a sleeping cat. I've also added some opal dust on the leaves, which doesn't really show up on the photos...but let's just say...this glitter stuff is da bomb man!

 

And here's another illo on top of some swirls that Olivier did. I hope you like it Barbara! I had so much fun with your book:)

Moly_x_3 the whole lot!

I'm sure you've all been waiting excitedly to see the moleskines all spread out. As promised:

Top to bottom: Em's book, Barbara's book, Rowland's book.

And the two completed moleskines: Ewian's book, Jennifer's book.

Have posted Ewian and Jennifer's book off to Emma. Will start on the others soon. There's so much lovely artworks in all of the books that I'm feeling a little nervous on my part!

But it's also nice to see the whole project coming together nicely (slowly but surely) and it's wonderful to see all of you lending your time and effort on each of the pages. Nice work everyone! Keep it up!

Barbara's book

Here are the entry for Barbara's book.

As mentioned yesterday, I had a lot of trouble finding the right motive. I ended up with a dragon inspired by the Norwegian stave church (Wikipedia) On it's back it has a girl. She is playing the flute. The clouds are super iridescent, do not show up in the photo though.

Progress so far in the book.

Medium used: pencil, permanent marker, velvet decorative tape, promarkers, gel pen, iridescent watercolours and acrylic paint.

Barbara's book - sketch

I had a lot of trouble finding the right motive, Jennifer's cat is such a strong statement. I think I have tried out 8 or 9 different things before I found something that I though would work. This is my final sketch. I'll go make the actually entry now.
