Sketchbook statuses

Hi everyone,
I know it's been a long time since any activity has happened with this group and unfortunately I think it's safe to say that this group is just not going anywhere.

I do still have Dana's pirate sketchbook and since I know time was spent on the book, not to mention the cost of the book itself, I'd love to get it back to her.   Dana, if you want to email me your address (at nhdesigns@hotmail.com), I'll ship it back to you ASAP.

Stacey, I'd love to have my sketchbook back, so I can finish it up myself, so please send that back as soon as you can. If you need my address again, just email me at the above address and I'll reply back with my address.

I'm still here...

I am sorry that I have not been around. I do have books but due to work, kids, computers dying and not being able to get on the internet - I haven't been able to respond. I am still in and am working on getting done with the books that I have.
(I was still unable to post a comment on the previous post - the only way I can respond is with a full post)

What's wrong?

Ladies!
What's wrong with our group?? It had such a good start :( We are only four of us and Stacey you have 2 of our books. You have had mine for OVER A YEAR! Should we end this group and send the books back to owners? Or should we recruit new blood to get this exchange going again? What do you think? Or should we set up new shipping date to force everyone to finish books they have?

Pirate Book Arrived

Dana's Pirate book arrived safely,from Danica, the other day. Nice entry Danica! I'll add another entry and then mail it on to Dana.

It's finished! I would like to say that it was my first attempt with acrylic paint so I was a little bit nervous, but I felt in love with it. It's much better than watercolour :)

Natalie I painted a litle bit over your background, I hope you dont mind :)

trouble leaving comments?

Sorry I have been absent - have been really busy with no time during the day to respond. I still have 2 molys which I will finish and send to the next person. I still want to be involved in the exchange but feel free to exchange amongst yourselves for now.

Also had some trouble trying to leave comments on our blog...anyone else have problems with blogger? It keeps kicking me back to the log in page - even though I am logged in.

working on moly again! :)
I would like to ask who should I send this moly to (when it will be finished of course :P)? Do you have any information about Stacey?

Exchange Status

Hi everyone. I figured I'd just pop in to see how everyone is doing. It seems that our exchange has stalled again. I'd love to keep going with the exchange but currently don't have any books to work on. :-( What are everyones thoughts on this? Do we want to try and keep going or should the books be sent back to their original owners?

Hi Ladies,
this is my progress shot and I have no idea what to do now :)) Im afraid to destroy it! I'll probably leave it on my table for few more days and I'll decide :)

How are you ladies, and how are your entries? I hope everything is fine with you :)

Entry in Stacey's Moly

Hi Ladies. I hope everyone's entries are going well. I just finished my entry in Stacey's Dia de los Muertos book. It was a lot of fun to do. I decided to paint some skeleton dancers to go along with Dana's Mariachi band. I'll be sending it off to Danica this week. Hope you like it Stacey.

Entry Progress

Hi Ladies. Just figured I'd check in to see how everyone's latest entries are going. It's been a while since we've seen anything, but I'm guessing if you are anything like me the past few months have been pretty busy.

I figured I'd share the sketch I've done for my entry into Stacy's Dia de los Muertos book. My next step is to transfer it to her actual sketchbook and then add color. Hopefully after all the New Year's festivities.



















Happy New Year's everyone!

Father update....

Thanks for all of the well wishes ladies! My father is doing very well ~ he will actually be coming home today! My kids are both very excited - my little one has missed his Papa. He still has a good 6-8 weeks before he will even be considered healed, but we are glad he is coming home.

Stacey's Book

Stacey's book just arrived safe and sound from Dana. Looks great. I can't wait to get started on it.

Pirates!

It took me longer than expected, but I finally finished my entry in Dana's Pirate book. I continuted with Dana's "girl pirate" idea. It was done in acrylic.

Here is the entry:















Here is the whole book so far:









Hope you like it Dana. I had a lot of fun with this one.

Stacey's Moly Finished!

Finally, after a lot of thought and revisiting my high school Spanish class memories, I am finished with my entry in Stacey's Dia de los Muertos moleskine! I decided to draw some Skeleton Mariachi band musicians as if the woman in Stacey's entry was in the foreground and they were sort of behind her.



The only question I have before I send it on to Natalie is am I supposed to sign in on the first page? It's so beautiful I was scared to because I was unsure if it was what you wanted or not.

I'll take a high quality photo or two tomorrow to upload on my flickr account as well, sorry I know there is a glare in this image.

Thanks!

Natalie's Moly

Tomorrow I'll send Natalie's Moly to Stacey ;) I wonder how it looks with your beautiful entries.
and I added you emails to the e-mail notification, so now everyone will get an email everytime somebody publish new post. Please check you emails in the settings --> email and mobile .
Happy drawing/painting to everyone! :)

Stacey's book has arrived!

Stacey's book arrived in the mail today!

I may need to do a little homework on this topic before I start my entry in this book but wow it looks great, I love the fan and I hope I can come up with a strong transition!

At long last - here are the finished entries in my moly...
