Thanks a lot

Lidia's book

Hi! I'm finally done with Lidia's portrait and my own.  I was traveling and wasn't able to post my entry on her book earlier this month but I hope you all enjoy it. (Ramire's contribution is peeking in on the right hand side) It will now travel on forward to Mario while I work on Ramire's book and await more molys! Cheers,  Tania. ^_^

Long time guys, I hope get this in your emails.

This is a piece I did for tania's book. I can't wait to see the next book that comes my way. I love all the work I have seen so far!!

At long last!

My entry in Benjamin's moly! I decided to paint our faces like the candy skulls (Benjamin tells me they're called "calaveritas") that are around on Dia de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead. Dia de los Muertos also happens to be my birthday! :)

I've been a very busy girl. I also have my sign in page to show you!

So everybody picks a butterfly and labels it with their name. I hope you all like it!

Again, I'm sorry for my delay. I still have to get my portrait done and I'm going to get that done in the next couple of days. I have to start it over and inspiration is not coming easily to me. By next week at the latest these will be on their way to Tania!

Helloo

Sorry for my late, Jenny so sorry

Here is my entry, I have no camera and my scanner es very bad, but I hope you like this.

Today I'll send the moly to Lydia.

Kisses!!

PD: my brother calls me that a moly has arrived to his house yesterday! Ill go to his house today. byebye

and finished my moly too! I will send them too sandra this week!

Checking in

Hi everybody. Sorry I've been a bit quiet for the past month - this will probably continue for at least another month or so, due to some heavy grieving in the closest family. I do skim the blog regularly, although I find it hard to gather my thoughts enough to leave meaningful comments.

I'd like to check up on a few things. First - labels/tags. Please tag your blog entries with your name and other relevant tags. There is a list of active tags in the sidebar, and I have gone back and tagged each entry in the blog, so now you should be able to easily access relevant posts via tags.

Second - books and dormant members. I haven't received the next book in line for me (Mario's), nor do I think Sudjino has it at present, so there seems to be a jam somewhere in the rotation. Everyone please remember to contact the next in line before posting anything to them! This should help ensure that books don't pile up with dormant members.

Exchange members who have been inactive for a long time: Juanita, Tania, Mario and Calvin. Juanita has posted nothing since December last year, and both Mario and Calvin last posted in February. This is a long time with no check-in with the group - please all of you leave a comment to this post or make seperate posts to the blog with your news!

If any of you are in contact with the above or have sent them books, and especially Juanita, Mario or Calvin, please urge them to get back to the group ASAP. If we do not hear back within the next couple of weeks, I will be contacting Marty about the possible need of finding further replacements for the group.

I hope you are all fine, and enjoying summer. Please let us know when you get a book, work in it, and send it on. And let us hear from each other here, even when there are no books to work in at the moment.

Since I have no book to show, here is a photo of my husband and daughter picking elder-flowers for making cordial:



You can also keep up with me on my sketch-blog Ea's Artlog and my recipe-blog Ea's Kitchen (where a recipe for the elder-flower cordial will be going up sometime this week).

Happy drawing!

Work in progress

I like seeing works in progress and thinking I might not be the only one, I posted these photoos.

As you can see, i gave myself a old dutch folk costume. and last night I had the idea to draw old dutch delftsblue tiles behind me. I tried it out on transparant paper first to see if I like it. and I think I do : )

This drawing takes a bit more time than I thought, just a couple of days more and then I will send them all three away!

Have a nice week, everybody and if you have moleskins in progress, I 'd love to see it.

Hi y'all.

Just checking in to see how things are moving along. Great work so far. Keep it up. Be sure to keep your neighbor is awake and on task. Keep the books moving.

Please post questions and comments. Let me know if there is anything I can help with.

working on cavi´s moly

here are some pictures of Cavi´s moly and Ea´s beautiful envelope. It´s been travelling fast, for my entry will be the 4th in this book. I´m going for a fashion look for my entry, and i´m wearing Cavi on my shirt. I feel like this moly needs some more contrast, i´ll probably add a dark background. In the next two weeks or so this book will go to Rins in amsterdam!

we are on the moon!

hi everybody, i finished sudjino'd moly too (my entry that is, not the whole book : ) ) on the 1st photo you can see the beginning of my moleskine too. almost ready with that one.

I hope you like it, Anastasiya, I used yr donkey and gave him wings and on yr bracelet there is a tiny version of your kokeshi. : ) I had fun drawing it.

Sandra's and my Molys posted to Juanita today! Please let me know when they arrive.

Calvin's book in the post

I've packed up Calvin's book and it's on its way to Germany and Jenny for more artistic adventures.




How do you pack up the books for posting? I have some bad experiences with artworks in the post, water damage and crushed corners, so I put the books in a plastic bag and tape it up to keep any moisture out. The plastic wrapped book then went into a bubble-wrap lined envelope - I forgot to take a picture of the front of the envelope, but maybe Jen will post one when it arrives.

Here is a scan of most of my final entry:



and you can see more images in my exchange set on Flickr.
