Welcome to the asemic writing group, Lisa. Asemic writing, well, it's sort of picture writing. You make symbols, imaginary languages - there are some threads in the group that explain it. And there are tons of great examples posted here. Anyone in the group want to explain their understanding of asemic writing to Lisa?

 

Many people in the group, I'm sure, would love to exchange asemic mail-art with you. Otherwise - we have 4 book projects going. They're currently filled, but we're likely to have some openings, if you want to add your name and address somewhere - you have to produce 8 pages of asemic work for a chapter. But participation in the books is optional - strictly your choice.

 

Just feel free to ask questions, comment etc.

Ah, I see more and more in Bifidus's piece, Cheryl and DVS.  And DVS, I appreciate your describing what you're seeing as the chapters come in -- very INteresting.  There must be endless forms for it and I've barely scratched the surface, have A LOT to learn and explore.  It's very exciting!

Friends, Cheryl, E, Nadin, I received your asemic№3 pages -  beatiful book !!!!!! Thanks =)
Comment by De Villo Sloan on July 18, 2011 at 6:39pm
then a reference to Cheryl's "bones of contention" book? - even if unintentional it expands on it. I'll spare the rant on how the asemic writing and the visual images can work together - but certainly the work by Bifidus speaks to that - the skeletons, the bones, the underpinnings of language - yes, get it.
Comment by Bifidus Jones on July 18, 2011 at 6:11pm
thank you Cheryl--I'm glad you understand my intention
