Boekies

[Linda French]

Before I stumbled on IUOMA, I didn't know what a 'boekie' is. Except in the betting world with different spelling. I have made many, many little books, but just call them 'little books,' unless they are journals and then they are 'journals' or 'art journals.' So now I know that I have been making 'boekies'. And journals and art journals.  And mail-art.  --LInda

Boekie is Afrikaans for 'little book', which is why it sounds like Dutch, Erni.

And this IUOMA "platform" is a fun place, Linda...just enjoy!

"boekie" is a term from South Africa, and the Master Creator of Boekies is

Cheryl Penn , who lives in South Africa, (though no longer a member here :-(

Also, some are called "TLP"s or "Tacking Little Pamphlets" ,

by many Vispo (Visual Poetry) creators, like John M. Bennett:

John Bennett and Cheryl Penn collab boekie!

Some amazing art in the mail, for sure!

Oh oh oh. I get it. Thank you. Joining IUOMA is like starting a new job; it takes a long time to get up to speed, and there's a whole new vocabulary to learn.  But I'm hangin' in there.--Linda

I am developing the distinct impression that I am an ignoramus. Erni, what do you mean by "here at the platform"? Sidenote: I am also sending you a wire-wrapped basalt stone from the beach.  --Linda
