The Brazilian Caramel Stray Dog on Fluxus Buck

This is so cool!

Ok, thanks Ana, I'll take a look. I like that mongrel campaign. I thought it looked like the British queen's corgis.

Thanks, Ilya, so they are mini!

Mel Anie, there's a Fluxus Bucks Creators group here at IUOMA:

" 'Fluxus Buck' is an artistic project from Julie Jefferies aka. ex posto facto (U.S.A.) which she started in 1994. A 'Fluxus Buck' is an artists' banknote which she distributed into the Mail-Art network. Others created Fluxus Bucks as well "

This is the first Fluxus Buck I've got and I added the little dog in reference to a Brazilian meme:

The sheet size is 68 x 161 millimeters.

Ilya, are they life-size, like real currency? Maybe you could make a bigger buck?

[Ilya Semenenko-Basin]

I love this artistic idea. Unfortunately, the size of the "bucks" is small and often there is little space left for a drawing or collage.

I have already completed the decoration of such "bucks" several times and sent them by mail to the initiator.

So tell me about these bucks. I am very curious. Is it an add & pass like you give the buck some food and then you pass the buck or the cute little doggy in the middle to someone else (and then you return it to the original owner when it gets too old)?
