I only added the similar size thing because if people do go away from the Moleskine I think we should all be working in a fairly similarly sized book. Partially for equality of shipping costs.<BR/><BR/>Doesn't the watercolor Moleskine have perforated pages? I loathe that. Just a personal pet peeve. If that is the type of Moleskine you wanna use though that is a-okay with me.<BR/><BR/>Thanks all, I hope this discussion will continue.<BR/><BR/>Ian, no pressure to decide now, we are just tossing some ideas around. When time gets closer, we'll flesh all the deets out.<BR/><BR/>Steve, thanks. It does take a bit of time, but it is so worth it to collaborate with all of you.Moleskine.Exchangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903112623808049457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256991403049450428.post-55590179344688852052009-03-24T17:38:00.000-07:002009-03-24T17:38:00.000-07:00I do like my water color moley! :-DIf we aren't u...I do like my water color moley! :-D<BR/><BR/>If we aren't using the big molies, I think I will get one anyway to play with.<BR/><BR/>Of course, Heidi Chester and Jim Doran are both interested in joining this group.

I'm sure you're as busy and occupied as anyone else in the group, so thanks again for setting this up. As for me, yes, I'm in, as long as this project exists. I say keep the current blog too - why not? If anyone is interested, and I think I may have mentioned this before, the watercolor Molys are really superb. They are extremely durable, you can draw, paint and collage in them, and the pages hold up extremely well. They're white instead of tan also. Lastly, the books and pages are about the same size as the standard drawing books. In the meantime, good to see some folks coming back for more. I'll see if I can find anyone else who is interested in the meantime!stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08302940112403120398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256991403049450428.post-46884697866991317712009-03-24T16:26:00.000-07:002009-03-24T16:26:00.000-07:00I say keep the same blog if most of the people are...I say keep the same blog if most of the people are the same (and maybe anyway).<BR/><BR/>I've discovered I can paint in the molies if I take a different approach than I normally would--more dry brush, less wash. <BR/><BR/>Are you saying you do <B>not</B> want to try the big moles? (eg A3 and A4?) Well, I'm willing to do it any way we wish.
