Queering History (what if…) (Birthday Books Vol 31 of 41)
Posted on April 8, 2008 by bookmoochjournals
What if the Mayflower had been filled with pilgrims of another kind, fleeing persecution of a different kind and colony’s first invasion of “settlers” were building a brave new queer world? What if Santa were gay? Or Dracula? What if Jesus were a lesbian? Imagine an event or person and change history. Invent new gayer holidays, religions, countys, customs. What if… you let your crazy queer imagination out of the box?
When the pages of this journal are filled, please return it to bookmooch user: zenfish. Thank you.
RE: Birthday Books vol 1-41. I was very excited to read about the bookmooch journal project as I usually celebrate my birthday with art/performance art madness related to the number in question. In August I will be a delightful 41 years wild. I have purchased 41 blank journals and am giving each individual themes. When all the wayward art has winged its way home to me, I look forward to a local celebration to share and enjoy these books with friends.

Karma, Dharma & Enlightenment~ exploring universal patterns and mysteries of life
Posted on April 8, 2008 by bookmoochjournals
The Law of Karma – Karma is both action and the consequence of that action; it is cause and effect simultaneously, because every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in kind. Everyone had heard the expression, “What you sow is what you reap.” Obviously, if we want to create happiness in our lives, we must learn to sow the seeds of happiness. Therefore, karma implies the action of conscious choice-making. Whether you like it or not, everything that is happening at this moment is a result of the choices you’ve made in the past. Unfortunately, a lot of us make choices unconsciously, and therefore we don’t think they are choices–and yet, they are. If you step back for a moment and witness the choices you are making as you make those choices, then in just this act of witnessing, you take the whole process from the unconscious realm into the conscious realm. This procedure of conscious choice-making and witnessing is very empowering.You can use the Law of Karma to create money and affluence, and the flow of all good things to you, any time you want. But first, you must become consciously aware that your future is generated by the choices you are making in every moment of your life. If you do this on a regular basis, then you are making full use of this law. The more you bring your choices into the level of your conscious awareness, the more you will make those choices which are spontaneously correct–both for you and those around you.

Some Like It Haute

“Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.” – Oscar Wilde
Fashion is always changing, and always needs new designs and fresh styles to keep it evolving. Commit a few of your fashion figures here in any design that you like! Your models can be thoroughly modern Millies, Gibson Girls, Barbie-like figures worthy of Versace or sketches from Marie Antoinette’s dressmaker.
After adding your figures, send the book along to the next person. Have fun, fashion designer!

The Found Objects Journal
Posted on April 8, 2008 by bookmoochjournals
All my life, i’ve been fascinated by objects I’ve found in all kinds of places, indoors and outdoors. hidden in old furniture, lying on the sidewalk, tucked away in a book, hidden behind pictures in old frames, left in closets by previous residents, lost in the corner of a basement, found in school desks. I’ve collected these odd bits of history all my life and often wonder what kind of things others have found.
I want you to be as creative as you’d like, adding found treasures, altering the existing blank pages in the book with your own creative art, creating cut-out niches to hide a found treasure in and so on. Add objects on one page or two or go wild, adding them on pages throughout the book for others to work around, or add them to pages that already have objects pasted.
