Pimp my Moleskine with your art!

Love Moleskines and original art? Read on.... Altered and artful Moleskines on etsy always look amazing so how about creating some for each other?

For this swap you will--add your art to Moleskines for two others!

• Send one pocket sized (3.5 x 5.5 in or 9x14 cm) Moleskine cahier/volant each to two different people. (In total==>2 Moleskines sent, 2 received)

• Create original art on the outside cover and a bit inside (let's say either the inside cover, back pocket or a page anywhere in the book). Do more if you like but leave plenty of room for your partner to use their new Moleskine for their art/writing etc!

• Hopefully, you'll enjoy it too! (Just search "Moleskine" on etsy for inspiration!)

Original artwork may include drawing, painting, printmaking/gocco, hand carvings, artist stickers, photography and collage which uses your own imagery and personal (not store bought) ephemera.

Please note that this is about making the Moleskine unique with your artwork. This is not a competition to see who can paint/stamp/glue the most stuff on the cover! A small drawing on the cover can be just as lovely as (or even nicer than) a completely painted cover. It's great for it to still be clear it's a Moleskine cahier or volant!

This is ==>senders choice<== but you are welcome to list the following preferences below in case your partner is interested or can observe your likes--
* type of Moleskine paper preferred if any (plain, lined, grid)
* colors you enjoy
* requests to send the Moleskine naked (without wrapping)
Please note that if you request naked mailing your partner need only photograph the Moleskine with affixed postage for proof of mailing.

Please understand that cahier/volant journals are sold in packs of 2 or 3 (usually around $8 US) so your partner probably can't purchase your perfect Moleskine! Please don't rate down because you like plain pages and get lined or because you get a color you don't care for! (remember --sender's choice--)

Requirements to participate:
* At least 10 completed & rated type 3 swaps
* Be up to date with all swaps. * No 1s or recent/unexplained 3s (PM me before sign ups close if you've been rated unfairly or have other participation concerns)

Yes, I will review profiles before assigning partners and ban folks who don't meet the above.

Please note: I do angel or find angels for all of my swaps but it's time away from my daughter and my work so I truly expect everyone to follow through on their commitment in a timely, thoughtful manner. Thank you in advance.

Just PM with any questions/concerns now or during the swap. I'm always happy to help with any challenges.

Let's have a great swap!
