Finale

Moving and Shaking

Based on the last two posts from Harry and Kerry this reflects where things are.
Melissa & Kerry's books are done and "home."
Clare's book is with Harry and still needs an entry from Kerry.
Harry's book is with Kerry and needs entries from Clare and Melissa.

Clare do you you want your book sent home or to Kerry for it's final work? Also, do you want to do an entry in Harry's book before Kerry sends it to me, or are you finished?

Updates & Apologies

Hi all,
I wanted to apologize to all of you for neglecting the maintenance of this group. I have had my book completely done since September and I suppose it is my fault that I have not been more diligent on checking in with all of you.

Looking back through the posts, I see that Clare asked to have her book returned to her on November 13th, whether it was done or not. I would please ask whoever has it, to simply honor her request. I will send a shipping address to the group via email.

Kerry and Harry, do you two have each other's books?  On Dec 31, Kerry asked where it was and that is the last I can track of it. Kerry the last post I have on Harry's book is from you on the same date saying that you were shipping it, but I don't know to whom. My records indicate that both Clare and I still needed to complete entries in Harry's book.

Clare, should we assume that you do not want to receive any future books? If this is the case, Kerry you can send Harry's to me and  I will gladly add another entry.

Can everyone please just chime in as to whether they want to finish or have their own book sent home? I'm in it for the long haul. Please check your email for an updated message from me with all of our mailing addresses so that books can get moving.

Again, truly sorry for my part in allowing the group to stagnate.

Melissa

Home Stretch, People! Eyes on the Prize!!

September Update

Summer Status

Does this seem about right?

Safe Arrival

There were some colorful characters in my mailbox today. I hope to get to your book sometime next week, Kerry. Harry, you should receive Clare's book any day now.

Update

Melissa, Harry & Kerrie, Hello. Just a quick post to let you all know I am in Business and almost ready to post my Moly to Melissa. I have a new email address, will email you all  the new one today sometime.
Got to rush now.
:)  Clare.

Reverse Order

OK. Looks like a go for reverse order. I'll update the sidebar.

2011 Status

Our Status Chart

Off and running

To recap from comments:
- Sign in page on the inside front cover/spread
- 4 pages (give or take) per round starting on the back of the sign-in page
- We will not have an overall "group" theme. You may theme your own moly if you wish.
- Rotation of books as shown in sidebar
- First ship date November 1st

If anyone would like to take a stab at a new blog header, I will not be offended if you remove the current one. Once we have a new round, it would be great to feature the four artists who are participating this round.

Look forward to seeing what everyone is working on.

Heeeeeeeeeere's Harry!

The ladies of moly x 25 are thrilled to invite Harrybell from the UK to our group for round 2. Harry, once you receive the blogger invite, feel free to introduce yourself to the group. I will be posting a rotation schedule within the next week. In the meantime, everyone please get your hands on a moly and start thinking about whether or not you want a theme in your own book. Since September is almost over, lets set November 1st as our goal to mail out the first entry in our own books. Can't wait to get started. Welcome Harry!!

You're Invited

Hello everyone.
Just a head's up that Clare and I have been discussing kicking off round two very shortly. Please comment on this post if you are interested in taking another spin with us. Also, if you've been following this blog and want to join in, please leave a comment with a link to your work so we know who you are. We will put up a generic posting on the flickr site after Sept 1st if we don't have any takers. As a reminder, this is primarily a painting/drawing group with limited collage. The two countries represented thus far are Australia and the US. Unless anyone objects, I would like to leave the archive of our journey live on this blog, with links to your own personal blogs (if desired). There would be some delineation as to who is from round 1 or round 2 if we don't have the same members.

On another note, as you may have read, Marty is currently working on some amazing opportunities for getting this project some display space in a book arts venue this January. If you've had time to finish your own book, please post a pic or video so we can see the finished masterpiece. Would be great to see a book molyx25 selected!

It's been a great experience so far. Thank you all for your time and talents!

Melissa

Latest update

Sorry folks, I really didn't have a handle on where anything was for the past month. I think this reflects everything you've communicated in the chatbox. Thanks for helping me along. Will try to keep this more current.

Update

Two and a Half Pages

What can I say? I'm a visual person. Hope this answers your question! Each person does 2.5 pages per round. So you will share a half page with someone, either the person before or after you, depending how it splits, but I would consider overlapping and not ending exactly on the edge as it gives the next person a little something to work with if that makes sense. No one's going to be mad about taking a little more or less. It all evens out eventually. Also, the second round might be confusing, because some people counted the "flap" (the page that is not really part of the accordian) and some did not.
