Another boekie made up of sheets of toilet paper

stamped or "added" by mail artists around the world arrived in Greece.

What a great project..."Field Study" from David Dellafiora in Australia.

Here's a sampling of the pages that are included:

Minimal.. and direct by John M. Bennett:

It's Greek to me...(yep, 'tis mine:)

And this very rare "stitched" piece of toilet paper by Angela of Germany:

Also, I find it fascinating to see the various "textures" of the papers :-)

Soft and with flowers, or designs for "comfort" ?

Will continue to contribute to this fun project!

Aw, Viz, you like the Sydney page, eh? Well, ALL of them really.

I already sent another 40 papers with "Greek Blue Cat" for the next boekie:

This WIPE 78 is already on my shelf with the other zines/ boekies,

but if you REALLY, really want it...maybe, perhaps, one day, some day... :-)

(when i see you in Paris?)

Truly excellent! Wish I'd been in that one! If you ever get sick of it, will you promise it to me, pleeease?

Gorgeous page by Angela! No mean feat to do this 40X!!

Whose is the Sydney Opera stamp, Kat?

And Angie, I remember seeing one of these books with a chocolaty page!!

One must send 40 single sheets...and super soft 2-ply or 3-ply works best :-)

However, I am not allowed to use the natural "organic" materials (like leaves or twigs...sigh.)

Thus I , and others , do creations using rubber stamps...stamp...stamp...

on delicate absorbant tissues :-)

Now, now, dear friends, once you decide to contribute

to this endeavor, one  must abide by the rules:

See blog of previous WIPE: 

WIPE 77: toilet paper boekie from Australia

Clearly stated:

"NO organic material or traces of..." :-)

However, "Royal" unused may be quite fine, I imagine!

I have some Royal Toilet Paper from Buckingham Palace.

Unused, of course.
