As requested, I've put together a slideshow of the completed Stretch sketchbook after photographing everyone's additions this morning. The sketchbook in its entirety is excitingly diverse and vibrant - hopefully you enjoy this slideshow view of it. Thanks very much for all of your wonderful contributions!
Also, with a few blank pages left in it that seemed a shame to leave unworked, I've done an additonal set of small drawings for the book and have posted this above. It seemed fitting to close out my own book in this way and it gives me an opportunity to see if and how I might have "stretched" over the past months.

Brian, this is a great way of displaying your book, and I love seeing your final piece, striking in it's simplicity, scroll over to your first piece.
Delightful! The triptych is awesome.
Beautiful! It's really lovely to see them all together and when I clicked through to Slide, you labled each artist's name!!
Mesmerising as it scrolls along! Well done Brian - how did you do that?
And a fine piece to end with, turning full-circle, with a bog at the front and a bog at the back :o) - I can practically hear the curlew calling and the wind whispering in the moorland grasses.
The slideshow was easy to do - I went to Vivien's blog and found one of her's and then clicked on "Make Your Own". "Three easy steps", as they say. You can upload all of your photos at the same time and then choose an order and captions for them. Once the slideshow is ready, you are given a little snippet of code/script to copy and paste into your blog post and voilà! I was even able to make little changes to the slideshow and these showed up instantaneously on my Moleskine Exchange post. Very nifty. The most time-consuming part was photographing everyone's work. I thought it would work best if the photos were all shot in the same light and with the same image size and resolution. I set the book out on the floor here with some direct sunlight - cats supervising intently throughout - and then cropped everything down on the computer.
Great - it sounds as though even I could do it! Thanks.
