No pressure !!!!!











I had a day all to myself.....no other demands, so I did your moleskine..........please don't feel I have rushed it, or that I am rushing you, its not my intention.
The washi paper really adds something to it.....perhaps makes it a little to easy to make things look beautiful.


"The peach originated in China and has been cultivated at least since 1000 B.C.E. It has special significance in Chinese culture: The peach tree is considered to be the tree of life and peaches are symbols of immortality and unity. Peach blossoms are carried by Chinese brides."

Oh Lynne,it's wonderful,a perfect following on!
The pink blossoms are a lovely continuation of the pink angophoras,the tree has a wonderful,delicate,sinuous shape,echoing the hills and streams,the gold cloud is inspired and the cranes look like they are flying up into the branches-Bravo!
Now I can see what fun this exchange is.I had no idea how you were going to fill those pages,it's like a xmas surprise seeing what you've done.

the paper does a lot of work for you doesn't it....I love the birds.....and the texture wasn't as difficult as i had thought it would be. The paper I bought is slightly shinier, and a lot less beautiful....
I hope that my book reaches you soon, it is nerve-wracking waiting for books to arrive, but then doing the work in the book is scary too......
i keep my fingers crossed that it arrives soon

At last! It's arrived! Only took 10 days,so I needn't have sweated :)
Love your tree drawing on the package-it's probably gone slow while the postal workers admire it at each of its stops!
it's wonderful feeling the paper and seeing the actual work,the title pages look brighter,more intense than in the photo.
Now I can't wait to start,but am working today,so....patience Deb!
ps-Loev your caed-it's up on the 'mantlepiece'.
