United States of Dyke-dom (Birthday Books Vol 20 of 41)

Lesbian Flash fiction (500 words or less) that is “place oriented” or setting with specificity. It should include a location (a real city, state, country, etc) and “place”. Place may be a business, a park, a local festival, etc. Illustrations welcome. 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.

Dead Letters (Birthday Books Vol 17 of 41)

What you would have said if you could have… This is a reclaimed calendar. I have pasted backgrounds over the calendar months. Feel free to use these backgrounds or create your own on the blank pages. The “backgrounds” are simply a frame for the envelope you paste there. Inside the envelope is a letter written from you to someone dead. The person may be historical or personal. Julius Caesar or a beloved grandparent, your choice. When the pages of this journal are filled, please return it to bookmooch user: zenfish. Thank you.

Cold as Ice

This book is a celebration of chilling, cooling color! Every image or word written here must be in the palette of winter – blue, green, deep shadowy purples, you get the idea! – whether it be a collage or cohesive image.

Everything ice is perfectly nice here! Set your frosty fingers to work and see what you create!

This journal is complete and the slideshow is of the complete journal. A volume 2 will be created shortly.

The Found Objects Journal

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.
