So the plan is to send around a traveling journal. Having different artist doing different pages. And then when it's completed, posted and shared online - some how, some where.

I'm looking for people who are willing to participate. I say willing because unfortunately there are a few requirements.

1. I want you to be honest with yourself that you'll have the time, motivation or inspiration to do a page. I'm thinking a two week max in any one place. If nothing happens in a 2 week span - that's completely okay. Things come up, but I'll ask that you pass the book along so that others have a shot.

2. There's a bit of a financial factor, as I won't be able to provide funds to mail it each and every time. So when you're finished I'll need you to mail it on to the next person on the list. I'm going to collect addresses ahead of time and move it around in a way that hopefully the financial burden won't be great, but there is a chance that you might be asked to mail it to a different country.

Other than those two things -

The idea behind the book is a game of telephone. Have you ever played that game as a child? You sit in a circle and one person starts by whispering something in the ear of the person sitting next to them, and that person whispers what they heard to the next person and so on.

The last person in the circle says what they think they heard out loud and most of the time - it comes out completely different than the original phrase.

The book will work in the same way. I'm starting by doing a page. The next person will get the book and create something "inspired" by what I did. And so on. THERE ARE NO REQUIREMENTS ON WHAT YOU DO.

Writing a story, poetry, drawing something, collage, music... (I would LOVE it if someone that was into music joined this. They could write something inspired by whatever the person before them did - and then record it, burn it to a CD - it wouldn't have to be CD quality or anything... then the next person would create something inspired by the music. It would be lovely.) ANYTHING.

The only restriction is that it fit on a two page spread of a 8x10 spiral bound journal.

If you want to participate... note me your name and address. Depending on how many people are interested I'm going to get this going pretty soon here. Any questions, feel free to ask!

Thanks for reading. <3

That's awesome.

I would love to do that. The trouble is this current journal has gotten kind of stuck. As in... over a year stuck. And I don't think it's going anywhere. :(

I'm in the process of trying to gather what everyone has done so far, and if that doesn't work out - then restarting it. And I'll definitely send you an invite to that if you like.

I also have a separate DA account for it. Where I'll be updating once I get it going... [link]

Thanks so much for the interest. Sorry for the bad news.

Awesome!

It's taking a good deal longer than I thought to get around to everyone. : /

But I'll add you on if you like.

You can follow it here - [link]

I'm pretty good at keeping up with it. It's in North Carolina now.

Sounds like an epic idea. I'd be glad to contribute. Is there any more room?
