Helena's Book almost done...

I have just a few finishing touches to go, then scanning, but I think Helena's moleskine is almost there. I am at this moment listening to Olivier's music, and thinking about how to follow up such beautiful pieces. But my aim is to send to Rowland from France... so not thinking too long. Heheeeee.

Moly book status as of 1st February 2012

Ok just an update on all the moly books. Mostly for Rowland (can sense he's getting a bit frustrated:)

As of 1st February 2012:

Olivier (00) (USA) has 3 books: Rowland Jones' book, Barbara Luel and Emma Kidd. All finished (except for Emma's book as he'd like to draw a little more). Usually it would go to Karena but as of 1st February, she is no longer in this group and has pulled out.

Jan Allsopp (Australia) has 2 books - Helena's book, Olivier's book. All finished. To be sent to Emma Kidd (Australia).

Karena has 3 books - Niniji's book and 2 more books that I'm not sure belongs to who. They could belong to Ewian (Norway), Jennifer Kraska (Germany) or Jan Allsopp. She has only done 1 book and has not touched two books. She has already told me that she will be sending all the books back to me (she will not continue working on them). I have yet to receive them.

As I have already worked on Niniji's book last year, I will send it to Jan and work on the remaining 2 books from Karena.

And FYI now that Karena has pulled out, Olivier should be sending all 3 finished books from his end to me (Helena) as my name is after Karena. Our names on the homepage of this blog is the order of how the moly books travel. If that is the case, I will have a total of 5 books to work on because of the pile up...and that is ALOT. I don't want to rush with the books and I don't want to take my time either. So suggestions please? I'm happy for O to pass some of his books to anyone who is willing to work on them first. But as always this is open to discussion.

I hope everyone is clear with the book status. If anyone would like to correct me on the book status, please do so:) And I hope we are still in happy spirits!

And please guys, lots of positivity and creativity! This is supposed to be a fun project. And I understand it's gone through some hiccups but I bet it will be worth it when you get all your books back:)

1,2,3 c'est reparti... Three sketchbooks ready to go!!!

Ok. I know have all 3 moleskines in my possession ready to go somewhere else. I just need to get addresses. Should I send Rowland's back to him, or forward it along with the other two? Also if Karena is out, who in Australia should I send the other two?

Rowland's book



Barbara's Book



Emma's Book



Although I reserve the right to add a few more things to Emma's book first. So where do I post all this?

oO

Hello, Sorry & Here are 2

Sorry I've been absent for so long. I don't really have an excuse except, in hindsight, I can see I've been suffering severe artists block.  I didn't realise it at the time though.  Kept thinking I'll do it tomorrow, on the weekend, soon etc etc.  The time moved on, as it does, and before I realised how bad it was a year had passed, as you well know.  So sorry to hold you all up.  Things are looking up here now and here are the two I've currently got.

and in Olivier's book.

Don't put out the flame

Emma's book is now going to o_O.

p.s.: thanks for teaching me this blowing-with-a-straw trick!

EWian-and-Niniji, in Emma's book

EWian's hot air balloons and buildings and pilotress lent me a lot of space for imagination. I decided to continue the flowiness seen in others' works in this book...
Will hold this book through the weekend to give some more "body" to my work, but almost ready to go. (we kinda' haven't heard from Olivier in a while though, should I send him another book or should I send it to someone who's been waiting for another book for ages instead?)

Emma's Moly from EWian (and...)

Thank you EWian!! *Muah!*
Along with Emma's book also came a lovely postcard and these promarkers.
