I've been participating in a Moleskine exchange through an online knitting forum called Ravelry. (Knitters, if you are not a member, go join NOW!) A knitting forum seems like an odd place to find a Moleskine exchange but we're finishing up the third round and getting ready to start a fourth round. (Knitters: Artsy AND Craftsy!)
Anyway, the two pictures above are my attempts to copy that watercolorist extraordinaire, Tasha Tudor. My downstream partner mentioned she loved Tasha's artwork and so I tried to oblige. (I do love me some Tasha so that was a happy coincidence!) I'm actually pretty pleased with those two.
Now, the one below - not so much. But, it is my fault for going with colored pencil on that one rather than watercolor. I comfort myself that it is at least recognizable as 'Laura in Snow'.
My Moleskine came back home to me yesterday - a lovely St. Patrick's Day gift! My intro pages are below. On the left is a postcard from Nashville and in each Moleskine I did, a different one was included for the recipient.
Last night was filled with packing up my downstream partner's Moley with all her welcome home gifts and scanning the artwork from my newly-returned Moley so the other members of the group could see it, so not much time for any other artistic pursuits other than cooking and eating a fabulous St. Patrick's Day dinner. Hope yours was wonderful as well!

Very sweet little paintings! I love the corgis (we've had several, and they're wonderful dogs). The spread you did in your Moley is really good. The instruction page is quite clever! Isn't it fun to get your book back with all the lovely art in it! nancy
Nancy~ Yes - I was THRILLED to have it back, especially since it went missing for awhile. (Turned out, the post office was holding it hostage in NYC!) Thanks so much for your kind words!
Great pages. You did a fine job on the watercolors.
The spread looks neat and you did a good job.
Thank you for sharing with us some new info on another group, your lovely art, and the journals. Great work.
Wonderful journal spreads! The paintings are charming and I love the border on the corgi one.
