A Moleskine Wedding guestbook

A friend sent us this link to a Moleskine notebook re-purposed as a wedding guest book. The bride "090909bride," wrote:

" It is not an Italian tradition to have a guest book at a wedding, but we really loved the idea of having written memories by all our loved ones who shared our special moment with us....So, since the main theme of our wedding was "Travel", we bought a Moleskine notebook of an avarage size."

Web Find: "style simple way"

STYLE SIMPLE WAY is just that, an uncomplicated ode to nice things by Melissa Madden. She recently mentioned Moleskine cahiers:

"I gave some to a friend last year as a Christmas present, a girl who recently confessed that she didn't understand why I gave her blank notebooks and tossed them wayward. That is until she found them one day and the light bulb went off as to just how useful they are..."

A Single Moleskine Grievance

 Dolly at the "Journal Addict" has a problem:

"On watercolour moleskine, the ink is absorbed in the texture of the pages. On that one, it’s understandable and I am not very bothered.

On sketchbook, the pages are too smooth for the ink to stay properly.

On regular – both plain and ruled moleskine, pages are too thin, so while the fountain pens work, you can see the impression on the back of the page, which sucks because I write on both sides of a page."

Hint*Hint* : Gift suggestions

 

A plethora of whimsical Moleskine cahiers at Etsy. The choices are so varied, there's probably one for every taste. Check them out.

Of course, this shouldn't keep you from making your own set. Many are using Gocco.

Inspiration: "Between The Folds"

GREEN FUSE FILMS' award–winning documentary Between the Folds chronicles the stories of ten fine artists and intrepid theoretical scientists who have abandoned careers and scoffed at hard–earned graduate degrees—all to forge unconventional lives as modern–day paperfolders. 

As they converge on the unlikely medium of origami, these artists and scientists reinterpret the world in paper, and bring forth a bold mix of sensibilities towards art, expressiveness, creativity and meaning. And, together these offbeat and provocative minds demonstrate the innumerable ways that art and science come to bear as we struggle to understand and honor the world around us—as artists, scientists, creators, collaborators, preservers, and simply curious beings.

Random YouTube Find : Justin Murphy

Moleskine Cahiers with their easily customizable covers are popular with our younger readers and crafters. 

Like comfy jeans on the weekends, the Moleskine Cahier is casual yet durable. A journal for all occasions -- It's soft, light and fits in every pocket. A flexible cardboard cover houses the acid-free paper pages, while the thread stitching is visible on the spine. The back cover has a spacious pocket for notes or clippings, and the last 16 pages of each journal are detachable.

Robowhat in Japan

 Last of Australian artist Robert Scholten's uploads from his sketches on a recent trip to Japan. A bittersweet note:

"This batch actually marked the start of a new book. One of my aims with this book is to make more of an effort to be more experimental. These pictures mark the end of my stay in Japan. I was really quite sad to leave as I had a great time and there are some friends I might not see again..."
