Shante's moleskine

Hi there,

Here is my post for Shante's moleskine. 

Thanks,

Amrita

Checking in.

Hello everyone.

I am checking in to make certain that your group is moving along smoothly, and that everyone is happy. There are many moly_x groups that have stalled and are withering. There are many people who are interested in joining a portrait group, but first I want to be sure that all the people listed on this blog are interested and participating. Please write to me or post to the blog and let us know if you will continue in this group or not. If not, we will fill your seat. No worries.

I would like to have these portrait groups reorganized & settled by the end of next week.

Thanks and have a great day.

Marty

Blogger Technical Limitation.

Feeling out of touch with the group?

There is a an unfortunate limitation to Blogger that effects communication in the moly_x_portrait groups. Comment notification only allows ten email addresses. Our portrait groups have 15 members, so 5 people miss out on email notifications of comments left on this blog.

Go to upper right of blog, select customize>settings>comments>and scroll down to comment notification email if you are wondering if your email address made it on the list. If you didn't make it on the list, please try to read the blog regularly. Also, if someone could set this group up with cBox, this would be a helpful communication tool. To check it out go to moly_x_portrait1 and scroll down to the bottom of the page. I can't do it. Only one free cBox per email address.

FYI: All of the group's email addresses are available to the group through customize>settings>permissions, in case someone wants to do a group email.

Questions?

Is this thing on?

It's been well over a month since anyone posted anything new, so I was just wondering what people were up to. As for me, I'm waiting until I get a new book before I get back to work on my own. Please comment on this post as to your progress.

New Banner & Status Updates?

So, I made a banner based on the MolyX_Portraits1 group's...and as you can see it's not quite finished. We need more drawings! So, who's got something ready to go? Can everyone please leave a comment on this post just to let us know what you're working on and where the books are? Thanks.

(As far as my progress...I sent Shante's book on to Amrita last week. I've stalled on my own book and will probably wait til I get another one and send them off together.)

Shante's Moly - Finished, I think

So, I'm mailing this off tomorrow, but it still bugs me a bit. I feel like there needs to be a background color behind Shante's portrait but I'm scared to ruin it...oh well, it's off regardless. Hope you like it Shante.

here's my portrait for robert. . . finally

The Gaze: my entree on Robert's portrait moly

Here's the final scan of my page on Robert's moly.

I'll be spraying this with fixative and forwarding this soon.

Hope you like it Robert.

Yelnoc's Moly: My entree

Here's my first attempt at making an entree on Yelnoc's portrait moly...



I couldn't salvage the page. Tried white washing it but it wasn't really working so I cut the 2 panels and glued it back. Hope Robert forgives me.

I wanted to pick up from Robert's gaze and this is the solution I came up with...

Done as part of MolyX_international Exhancge and of MolyX_Portrait2

Here's Robert's self-p that I used as reference for this. Minus the bruises, that is..

Hope you like it Robert.

WIP - Linda's Moly

I just wanted to post Linda's WIP. I normally just paint and block in my ppl, but not use to painting this size so sketching first with pencil then painting.

Shante's Moly - W.I.P.

Here's a look at my page for Shante's moly...it's a work in progress. Looking through Shante's images everything she was wearing had these elaborate patterns and I decided to run with that theme, finding a hat with some patterning (you might recognize it from my wee portrait on her sign-in page) for my self-portrait. I think I bit off a lot with the intricacy but it's a challenge, that's for sure! (I don't know exactly why I chose to frame them the way I did...random impulse)

Ah! I figured out how to post !

Hi guys,

I am one of the slow pokes around in this exchange. I am a graphic design student in New York. I live in Brooklyn with my husband and two dogs. I love to journal and off late don't get a lot of time to do so, with tremendous homework. Anyway, I am about to send my small moleskine off, its a small japanese album. Have fun, stick things in. Perfection and neatness are above me. Looking forward to seeing what you guys do.

Anyway, here is what I did in Amy's moleskine.
