Celebrating Parents and children

Posted on April 8, 2008 by bookmoochjournals

This journal is a celebration of parents and children. Write a letter to your parents or children, create a collage, tell a story, etc. The possibilities are endless. The only requirement is that it pertains to the topic. If you have children, love your parents, love someone else’s children, or want to have a child someday, this is the journal for you. After altering your page or two, please sign with your bookmooch username and your name if you wish, along with the date you completed your artwork, then release it back into the bookmooch community.

Once the book is full please return it to me (BM username childlikefaith).

Posting Bookmoocher’s Secrets!

Posted on April 8, 2008 by bookmoochjournals

This journal is part of the Bookmooch Journal Project. After you mooch and receive this book, please register your mooch at bookcrossing, and then be prepared to reveal your great(est) secret to fellow bookmoochers! Frank Warren’s hit series of “post secret” books inspired this journal, and I’m sure many fellow bookmoochers have some great secrets they are just dying to share with someone! So sit down with this funky journal, bare your soul and share your deepest and darkest secrets (or a lighter secret, if you feel so inclined) while enjoying reading the secrets of other bookmoochers. No need to sign your real name here, just use your bookmooch username as your signature at the end (providing you with at least some mere shadow of anonymity!). Log in your catch on bookcrossing, and then set the book free again to pass on to another bookmoocher!

Posted on April 8, 2008 by bookmoochjournals

This journal is part of the Bookmooch Journal Project. After you mooch and receive this book, alter a page or two to add your own artwork or display your scrapbooking skills. The art/scrapbooked page should be related (however loosely) to the themes of reading, and/or books. Create your art page, and then on the adjacent page include some short notes about yourself, your masterpiece, and your favourite book(s). Log in your catch on bookcrossing, and then set the book free again to pass on to another bookmoocher!

Around the World in 1,000 Pictures

Posted on April 8, 2008 by bookmoochjournals

This is an Altered Book from The BookMooch Journal Project. The book is a 1956 printing originally titled AROUND THE U.S.A. IN 1,000 PICTURES, loaded with, yes, 1,000 vintage photos! It was a book that was just begging to be given a new life as an altered book, with dreams of traveling all over the WORLD, meeting BookMoochers and collecting snapshots, ATCs, AECOs, multimedia art, paintings and drawings, doodles and scribbles, postage stamps, rubber stamps, found objects and anything else that creative souls around the world feel inspired to add to it before sending it along to another BookMoocher to play with. At the end of it’s long journey, This Altered Book will be returned to it’s owner, [Kenenth G Samson] who may be reached through his account at BookMooch. [BookMooch ID: samsonkg]

Rules: none, really – as far as journals go. I want you to be as creative as you’d like, adding anything, altering the existing pages in the book, incorporating existing pictures originally published in the book or covering them entirely with your own art. I especially love ATCs and drawings and multimedia and found objects, but look forward to seeing all the cool, creative things you will do with this journal before passing it on.

There IS one unbreakable rule, though….. after you are done adding your art, please put the journal back into this same page I’ve created for it here at BookMooch so someone else can mooch it and add to it, and when it is full, please contact me to arrange return of this treasure to me.

Black and white

Posted on April 8, 2008 by bookmoochjournals

In this book anything goes as long as it’s black and white. You can tell us about your day, draw a picture, do a collage, or anything else you can think of. The only thing I ask is that when you’ve finished your spread you sign the cover. Please include your BM name, your real name if you feel comfortable leaving it, which spread is yours and the dates you worked on it.

We are who we are

Posted on April 8, 2008 by bookmoochjournals

An ‘Eco-Diary’ handmade in India, this beautiful recycled cotton fabric journal is completely wood-free. Who are you? We know each other, briefly, in paragraphs and short blurbs, on the bookmooch site, but who are you? Tell us a little about yourself–art, writing, a giant smiley face sticker–as you see yourself and as others see yourself. Is there a huge difference or no difference at all?

The True Bohemian Café Journal

Posted on April 8, 2008 by bookmoochjournals

This is a hand made journal/blank book I purchased through online artistic friends. The title comes from the cover created by the book artist. In the spirit of the journal’s title, I’d like this book to be about bending, breaking, living outside of, and/or around the “rules” – whatever we perceive the “rules” to be.
