After much dithering, tinkering, umming and ahhing I've finally posted off my moly_x_portrait 6 Moleskine. As we speak it's winging it's way across to Natalia in Moscow for her to add an entry. So no more little tweaks or additions - I can't change it anymore!

All going to schedule I won't see my little moly for over a year, I'm sending it off into the wide world, and it will have travelled to Russia, the US and South Africa before it gets back to me - I'm going to miss it!

The sign in pages took me much longer than I expected, it doesn't look like much but boy those frames were fiddley buggers. It's supposed to look like a portrait gallery wall with different styles of frames - baroque, art deco, art nouveau, and modern. Thank goodness for Google Images is all I can say!



Here's my self portrait. Michael says that it does resemble my source photo, but that the photo doesn't look anything like me - doh! I added the coloured part much later, it needed something but I couldn't decide on what. The parasol is part homage to my asian heritage, and part asymetrical design element. I wish I'd used watercolour pencil instead of plain polychromos as I think the colour would have 'popped' a bit more - but hey, you've got to stop somewhere.
