BGD will resume its regularly scheduled madness on Monday.

The folks in red below have confirmed that they are in by emailing me mailto:moleskine.exchange@gmail.com
their addresses, a couple I already had. After I get your address I will send you an invite to be an admin on the blog.
http://moleskine-exchange.blogspot.com/
You can post pics there, spin yarns, make it look all fancy, whatever you want.
I am still waiting for a couple of confirmations and unfortunately Majane had to drop out. I am accepting Jessie in her place! I added a link to Jessie below.
As soon as I know everyone is in and has gotten their books I will email you all the addresses and mailing order.

I got more than 10, so I figure we will have 14 people and all do 7 pages each. That will leave 2 pages, is this okay with everyone? I would like to use the large sketch Moleskine. Here are a couple of links if you don't know where to get one.

Now, I will set up a new blogger page especially for this. I want to have it so everyone can post to it whenever they want.
What I need for all of you to do is send me an email at
moleskine.exchange@gmail.com
confirming that you are in - FOR SURE! I know a couple of you had doubts, I understand! Be sure you want to do this. I will also need your mailing address to give everyone so they know where to send the books. As soon as I get confirmation that everyone has their Moleskine and is ready to go I will send you a link to become an admin member on this site.

I am thinking of starting up a Moleskine exchange. Would any of you be in to that? My idea is we all buy a large Moleskine sketchbook, we fill up 5 pages with whatever craziness that comes to mind, then ship it off to the next person on the list. I am suggesting 10 people be involved and we each do 5 pages, twice around. Get it? In the end we all end up with our sketchbook back, but full of 9 other folks' work.
I need 10 people so comment that they want in and I will get some dates scheduled and get this ball rolling. I will even start a new blog for it that everyone involved can post to. If someone tells me how to do that. ;)
Come On, please! Steve? Mary? Ellen? Willie? Ammon? Johnnynorms? Anyone! Everyone!

I'm in Andrea! Funny, 'cause I'm working on another one as well right now. Anyhow, how could I possibly resist. In the meantime, I'll spread the word at my sketch dump soon as well. Peace.
I am in. This sounds great, I can't wait to get started.
steve, are you kidding me? A "sketch dump..." in the words of one of my professors, "your work is fantastical."
Yeah! Count me in Andrea. Now I need a moleskine...
Count me fucking IN! :-)
p.s. for what it's worth, I've never owned or drawn in a moleskin before.
I'm in, great idea cheers for the invite!
rrramone,
If you are not sure that you want to be in this, just say so.
lol
I am getting in over my head, but that never stopped me before! Whooo Hoooo! Coint me in...
I'd be happy to participate, but not sure my artwork is up to snuff. If you're willing to have me, I am willing to play along.
Sounds like fun! :-D
(Didn't mean to sound at all negative!)
What size is a large moleskin?
THANKS for the invite.
(And where do I get one?)
I hope we'll have a little time to work--I'm prolly slower than some of you!
I wanna do it. But I dont know if I can find a moleskin.
2 x 50 = 100 pages?! that's almost a lifetime... I'll do it.
I'm interested! Can I play too?
Are they made out of Mole Skin?
Do I have to hunt my own Moles?
I could make Mole soup out of the bits that aren't skin.
If so it could be fun.
Have me if you want me.
I'm in too!!!
what are the rules of the game?
:o)
Mary - don't be silly!
Jeanette - if you can't email me and I can get one for you.
Ian - only 7 pages at a time! ;)
Michelle - absolutely! We would be honored to have you join!
Baggelboy - we want you!
Majane - check the first pust on my blog, all the info should be there.
If anyone has any questions shoot me an email.
I think we have all we need for this round, thank you to everyone!!
We are pending a decision from William Shaff. If he decides he can't we have Jessie as a back-up. I'll let y'all know as soon as I do.
So excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm still in - scary and exciting stuff! Not ever moleskinned, now's me chance. If it all gets too much, you're going to love my drawings of white cats in snowstorms...
ps. You got my blog address wrong (fume, whinge!)
WHEN DO WE START? HOW SON DO I HAVE TO HAVE THIS HERE MOLESKIN? WILL THEY HAVE IT AT THE LOCAL ART STORE?
oops, sorry about the caps locks!
Moleskin is ordered! Ready to rock and/or roll! Woohooooooo!
thanks Andrea - I feel properly here now! Am going out hunting moles in London this evening.
We're doing 7 pages and passing it on for 14 maybe 15 books is this right? Before I sign on the dotted line...
I meant 13 maybe 14 books didn't I!
Can we use those spare pages to write our info? As we draw in each book use a little space for contact info or a tiny bio? Just so my great, great, nieces and nephews can figure out what we were doing...
...what are we doing?
Just under eight quid on Amazon market place including p&p, Johnny.
Johnny,
Yes, we will be doing somewhere around 7 pages (this means 1 side of a page) in 13-14 books. When I get a final number of participants I will let you know for sure. You will have each book for about 3 weeks and then ship it off to the next artist.
Check here for more deets.

Ammon,
Of course, the spare pages can be used by the book owner for whatever they want.
Ian,
Look here ...
