Today I registered myself for The Travelling Moleskine project! I heard about it via the notebookism group on Flickr and immediately signed myself up.
Many of you have probably heard of, seen blog posts about or even taken part in something similar before, but for those of you who have no idea of the concept, here's how it works.
A large, plain moleskine journal will make it's way around the world, arriving with different participants and staying in his or her possession for two weeks. Each participant will have up to eight pages to add their thoughts, sketches and ideas (basically anything you would add to your own journal), then post it onto the next participant. To make the project even more interactive, photos and scans will be continuously added to the Flickr group so everyone can follow the moleskine on it's worldwide journey. Everyone involved is also invited to write small note about its travels and what it did while it was in their possession.
The travelling moleskine is due to start it's 18 month journey at the beginning of September.
For more information or to get yourself involved in this exciting project, get yourself over to The Travelling Moleskine website.

great idea... just signed up.... I am actually hoping my advance photography students will be able to use the 8 pages... if not- I would be happy to do all 8 pages myself!
oh, i've seen that and so glad you are joining in. It looks like so much fun and it's kind of like the driftwood - seeing where it has been and what kind of life it has had. Have fun with it! And thanks for sharing your etsy booty, it's always fun to see what other people are getting in the mail. Technically I guess that could be considered voyeurism.
I thought this was such a wonderful idea, I checked out the site after reading your post.
Thanks for your comment on my blog, should be a really fun project. I actually found out about it through your mention on Monster Munch.
