As I said in a recent post, I ordered two blue and two purple Moleskines, but the purple ones turned out to be file folders ("Moleskine Small Memo Pockets"), not sketchbooks. I was going to do the Moleskine Reloaded project from trumpetvine.com but, I’m not that motivated and have little patience. I thought I’d somehow transfer some paper or the innards of another journal into the purple Moleskine, and then it hit me, DUH, go get a set of the Moleskine "cahiers" and glue them in somehow. They are moleskines, they are the right size, a no-brainer.
So I did the transfer tonight and took pictures, although the photos are blurry because I was taking them one-handed w/ no flash and was too lazy to go get my Gorillapod. (It’s not so much that I’m lazy or unmotivated as it is that I am just chronically exhausted, but that’s another blog post.)
So, the photos showing what I did are here, in this Flickr Set.
((EDITED TO ADD: I’m not real happy w/ the paper in the Moleskine Cahier Plain Journals that I installed in the purple Moleskine Shell. It’s very thin. I may re-do this with better art paper. ))
kw: moleskine, moleskine hack, moleskine mod, moleskine small memo pockets, moleskine sketchbook



What a great solution. The result looks very slick too. Nicely done!
