Add a haiku! You remember the pattern: three lines, with five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third. You can also do variations on the haiku. Please feel free to decorate your page(s) in any way you like. When the journal is full, please contact dewpie@gmail.com to return it.

This idea is borrowed from the “What One Book?” feature in Bookmarks magazine. Just choose one topic that matters to you and list as many books as you can think of to recommend on that topic. Illustrate your list in whatever way you find suitable. Please return the journal to me when it’s finished. My email address is dewpie@gmail.com

A journal to be filled with whatever you remember of your first fear in life. It could be a bad dream you had when you were two, that time the car caught on fire when you were three and your mom couldn’t get the car-seat to unbuckle, the snowstorm that everyone else said was so pretty but made you feel like you were suffocating, the swimming lesson you took way too early in life, your first bite into an ice cube. The only criterion is that it be your first memory of fear. But “fear” can be interpreted however you want. Drawings, stories, collages, what-have-you.

This journal went to its first moocher and then? I am attempting to recover it.

Oh, my! The fridge is empty! The cupboards are bare! The wardrobes are wanting and the linens are worn!
Hey, we all need things from time to time, right? So here’s the deal – we’re making the ultimate shopping list. The rules are simple – add an item to the list, give that item an illustration, then send the journal on its way within two weeks.
That’s it! So have fun! Stay safe! Stay sane! And don’t forget – you’re out of toilet paper.

This is a pass along journal for the members of BookMooch.com. With this journal you will find some paper clippings and some other items. Your challenge is to use at least 5 different items (that came with the book) in your art. Try to be creative, you may alter the clippings in anyway that you wish, the goal here is to make some great art with a little of nothing. Before passing along the journal please add 5 (or however many of the items you used) items back to the bag so there is always enough items being passed along with the journal. If anybody wants to tackle the cover I don’t mind if it is altered.
When completed please contact me, BM ID: mspeegle

Here’s a different angle on a book; it’s a triangle. This tiny book is in the shape of a triangle. This is an altered book filled with partial images and words. Feel free to incorporate them into your art or cover them up. Be creative. Think outside the box. Use a few pages or a lot. Draw, paint, collage, stamp, color. Text is okay, too. There is no theme, but please include a triangle in your art.
Please only keep the journal for 2 weeks before you pass it to another BookMoocher. Please do not destroy, change, or remove someone else’s work.
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. When it is full, please contact me via email to arrange for the journey home.
