1001 Journals-Rescue Dogs

Check out the Facebook page for 1001 Journals–Rescue Dogs.

This is from Kate Merriman:

"I would LOVE your contribution to this traveling journal.  Don't worry if your first response is "but I'm not an artist" (I know some of you may be thinking that) – you can contribute a poem, some collage, stickers, journal entries, a drawing…".

Here's the page for the project on the 1001 Journals site.

Here's the process:
1 – Register with 1001journals.com.
2 – Once you've registered with them, go to http://www.1001journals.com/journals/3766// and click on "Get In Line".
3 – Kate will email the first/next person in line and ask for their snail mail address.
4 – Kate will mail the journal to them.
5 – That person will keep it for up to 3 weeks and add his or her content (up to 4 pages).
6
– Subject matter can be anything about rescue dogs / humane treatment
of animals and you can use any medium. The only other request is that
you refrain from deliberately harming any prior contributor's work.
7 – Kate will make sure that each person in the chain has the next person's snail mail address.
8
– When the journal is completed (it's 100 pages, so that means it will
hold work of 25 artists at least if everyone sticks to a max of 4
pages), it should be returned to Kate.
9 – Kate will send it to the
"1000 Journals" main office and they will do a HIGH RESOLUTION scan of
all of our pages and we will become a part of the larger project and
have our work available for all to see online. Pretty cool!!

I love this idea, although I haven't printed a photo in over a year so I have to figure that out first. I'm getting in line!

FYI: When you register, the answer to the question in the form of numbers should be in numbers. Pretty sure most of you would have done that. Here's what I did: What is 5 + 5? Ten (wrong answer).

  1. Don't worry if your first response is "but I'm not an artist"

    BUT I'M NOT AN ARTIST!

    Seriously, tho, would it be cheating to create and print digital artwork? I rarely pass up a chance to talk about my dog-kids!
