moly exchange...42


This one was such a trial to me... theme 'invent a pattern'. I am amazed that I came up with anything at all, I find pattern so difficult, and now I look at it I'm not sure it is what was asked for. I get quite fearful of spoiling someone elses book.I am not going to post this on just yet, there will be a bit of a log jam if I do, and as there are so many people in this group it wouldn't do to rush things along too much. As it stands it will take a year for this book to go on its travels. A year! How can I stand it! these exchanges are a real challenge to my impatient nature as well as my art....enjoying it such a lot tho :-)

another moleskine that i have had the opportunity to work in, I am allowed a month to do the pages, but the minute the book comes through the door i have to work at it, and when it goes slowly or I cant resolve a particular element, well I can't rest.....I think this one is finished, it 'feels' finished to me.
the theme on this one is ' reincarnation'.

Moly 43



My starter pages for moly 43....this is a dream I had, and it was so clear what it meant at the time, I have never forgotten it.

my entry in moly 38, the second book I have had a go at....I cannot believe how scary it is working in someone elses book, I am so worried that they will not like it, or that I have spoiled what they hoped their book would become.....

'Superstitions' Moly-x- 42

my start page for moly 42...a really large group (10 of us ) and we each get 3 pages, this should be interesting and frustrating, there are bound to be delays and frustrations, but with any luck it should be done in a year (!) for someone as impatient as me that seems like a lifetime
