This made me chuckle - I've moaned a lot about Moleskine's paper, here and elsewhere, but here's a novel take on it;

"Got lemons, make lemonade. Got marker bleed-thru? Make bleedthrumanade."

Essentially the artist uses the, er, qualities of Mole's paper to make two versions of the same piece of art, by virtue of the bled through side having a lighter, more subtle pallette of colour.

That is pretty good use of Moleskine paper!

It is inspiring work.

I have yet to try out my Moleskine sketch journal which has reasonably thick paper and wonder if that too suffers bleedthrough.

I haven't tried Sandra Kay Strait's bleedthru technique yet.
But I have nearly filled out the Leuchtturm 1917 notebook upto page 151 today.

Thanks for catching this. I would have missed it otherwise.
