Wreck this Journal (by US Postal Mail!) Project

[Minneapolis Gnome]

Who wants to Wreck this Journal together?

I'm going to carefully take this book apart into all of it's individual pages.  I'll then mail sets of pages out to all participants.  

Each mail artist will follow the art journaling instructions on their pages in a way that will still allow them to flatten and mail them back.  

I'll post pictures and blogs on the main IUOMA page as each set of pages arrives back in the mail, with credit to all the artists, so that everyone can see what happens!

I will then sew or glue all the pages back together into book form between the original covers and post lots of pictures and video of the final product for everyone to enjoy.

TO PARTICIPATE:

A.) Message me via IUOMA with the US snail mail address I should send your pages to by December 26th, 2021. It's my birthday and the holiday mail should be settled down by then.  

NOTE: We have 5 artists signed up so far but need a MINIMUM of 8 artists to do this project.  The more artists, the better!  If we only have 8 artists then each person will receive about 15 pages - if that sounds like too much just let me know when you sign up and I'll send you as few as you like.

B.) When you receive your pages, have fun with them!  If you love the results too much to part with the originals, you can opt to send back copies or email back scans of the pages.  

C.) The return deadline will be January 26, 2022.  The pages which are mailed back will be sewn / glued back together and photos & videos of the completed book documented on IUOMA. 

Excitedly hoping folks will join,

Minneapolis Gnome

11.12.21 Dare Minneapolis Gnome, yes, I think that I saw this journal at Barnes & Noble or one like it. It seemed like a reasonable attempt to get the creative juices flowing. ----Sure, I'd be pleased to participate in your adopted version inasmuch as I already owe a hundred postcards & upteen letters. already. You have noticed that even the USPS is sorta slow nowadays??? All best for your project. SinCelery, Richard Canard:409 S.Emerald Lane:Carbondale, Illusion:62901-2140:U.S.A.D.D.

Very nice, but overseas mail across the Big Pond is just too slow and too expensive,

I have had to cease "heavy" projects and Add/Pass.

I hope many American mail artists will contribute to your project!
