What next?

If you don't have your sketchbooks yet, get your hands on one. The Japanese fold sketchbooks consist of one long page folding accordian style so that there are 30 pages created on one side of the zigzag and 30 on the other.

Add your address into the front cover so it will always come back to you and give your address to the person who will be sending to you. I've set up the mailing order so that the postage costs are as even as possible.

Decide whether you want your book to have a theme and/or any rules, and post here to share your ideas. Start drawing! You can do anything you want (well of course! it's your book) on the inside covers, address page and back of the address page, or not. Then start your sketches on the first 2-3 pages of the zig-zag. Most groups seem to be sharing their pages on their exchange blog so let's do that (cuz I wanna SEE!).

Any views on a posting date of the 15th of every month, starting with April? That will give us time to get the books, ponder themes and then draw. I'm worried if we leave it later we will lose momentum.

Once a month is probably as much as you can expect with an international exchange, especially with mailing. Plus, stuff just comes up in people's lives.

Can hardly wait to see your images posted.
