Moleskines Pool

Among us letter-writers here at the Modern Letter Project, we know there are also many bloggers, notepassers, card-senders, and journal writers. The common link is of course the work of pen (or pencil) on paper, the ability to doodle in the margins, add your own artistic touches, and get personal in a tangible, non-electronic way.

What is a blog, but a public journal, a journal but an extended series of private letters?

We're pretty sure everyone knows about the moleskine--those little leather bound notebooks with the seemingly unbreakable spines, with a pouch on one side and either blank-lined-or graphed lines on the inside. Corie, one-half of the MLP team passed along word of the Moleskine Flickr Pool this morning, a technicolor, talent-filled flickr group filled with a whole gamut of what you can do on those little pages of your moleskine.

We love these sketches!

And, it makes us think our Modern Letter Project letters can be just as pretty (though don't feel pressure!). Do you like to draw? Add some doodles to your margins. Need some creative inspiration? Take a look through this pool, get inspired, and add some of your brilliant letters to the Modern Letter Project Flickr Pool.
