A couple of times I stumbled upon pictures on Flickr of wonderful Japanese folded moleskines, full of drawings made by a bunch of different artists from around the globe. Moly_x is a project that was started by Marty Harris. Since then, it has grown. Now there exist a lot of Moleskine Exchange groups, all containing 4 to 6 artists.
Each artist will set off with a small Japanese (accordian) folded Moleskine. Creating a drawing, collage, or painting, then send on to the next artist. Each artist will draw on a spread (2 or 3 pages) then send it on to the next artist. When the artists book is filled, it will be returned to the owner with images created by artist around the world. Each artist has a month to make an entry. The outcome will be a pleasant and surprising adventure, as artists are encouraged to interact and merge their art with others.
I'd love to join this and start an exchange group as well. Therefore, I'm looking for interested artists. It would be nice if we could create a group that crosses borders and contains artists with inspiring work that can interact with the work of other members. So if you're interested, feel free to leave a comment or contact me on charlotte@allesstinkteenbeetje.be.

[link][I found 5 interested artists so the group is full! Hangdog and twentywaystosee, I'll contact you once I'm back home from holidays (around the 10th of August). If you read this, please send your real name and address to charlotte@allesstinkteenbeetje.be so that I can contact the main Moly_x group (when I'm back) and get the exchanging started!]
