Parenting

Posted on April 8, 2008 by bookmoochjournals

As a new mother of a 2 month old I would like the topic of this pass along journal to be about parenting. Feel free to add your advice, tips, stories or whatever you would like about parenting. When you are finished pass it on to another BookMooch member so they can add their two cents.

When the book is full and complete, please send it home to me. You can contact me through my BookMooch ID of mspeegle.

1,000 Places to See Before You Die

Posted on April 8, 2008 by bookmoochjournals

After spending three years traveling the USA in a RV, I came to believe that every town, no matter how small, has some unusual claim to fame. It could be a person, a geographic feature, a building, an event, whatever it is that makes your town famous. The idea behind this journal is for you to tell us about the unusual fame your town claims, and design one or more pages and tell us about it. Use photographs, drawings, ATCs, stamp art, portions of travel brochures, written text, and so forth. Anything goes!

At the end of it’s 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 blank pages in the book with your own creative art. Do not alter the pages that have travel tips, however!

–Kenneth

This journal was returned to its creator when he began travelling himself. We have listed a new journal 1000 places to see before you die Part Two, which is moochable.

Covers Recreated: Iconographic, iMmodest and Erotic [CRIME]

Posted on April 8, 2008 by bookmoochjournals

The book is actually the Granta 2007 Diary as shown below, which I mooched specifically to turn it into a BMJournal.

On the Left handed pages, full-color reproductions of famous, steamy and not so steamy crime novels and pulp fiction appear. The right-handed pages are blank. As only a hot-blooded male could dream up, I envision the right-handed pages containing art from BookMoochers, recreating the Covers on the left, making them iconographic, immodest and erotic! Here’s a chance to let yourself go, designing and creating the book covers as you would have done them, given the chance!

At the end of it’s 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 blank Right-handed pages in the book with your own creative ‘cover-art.’

The Great Scrapbooking and Art Adventure

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.

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 Power of Beauty

Posted on April 8, 2008 by bookmoochjournals

The title, The Power of Beauty, inspired the idea for an altered book based on the theme of Beauty and all that it means to different people. I began to alter the book several years ago but abandoned the project for various reasons. Now is the perfect time to release it into the hands of other Creative Souls around the world to see what Beauty means to them. The book is all text so there is plenty of opportunity for major alteration and/or lots of Found Poetry.
