Moleskin 18/10/09
I was really looking forward to taking part in the Just Us Traveling Moleskin Project, ideas have been bubbling away for the theme of ‘Secrets and Lies’ (See Design Page). Unfortunately it turns out I won’t be able to contribute in the sketchbook as it has taken too long for the book to be mailed round to each member. And now it needs to be returned to the comp organisers. : (
