there is this blog that i follow, that is actually probably my favorite, sweetjessie.com (her etsy shop, sweetjessie), and she decided that she wanted to try and get a bunch of people to participate in a paper collaboration. she wrote on her blog to see if anyone was interested and, of course, many people were! she had over 50 people sign up to do it!
she had each participant send in at least 50 sheets of random pieces of paper that they liked. you could send in old pieces, new pieces, basically anything. she would then get these papers together and put them in a little book, bind them and send them back to you, with paper from other participants. so i signed up and sent my paper in and just got it back a few days ago. no two page is alike! take a look...
How gorgeous and fun is that! What an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! Long ago I belonged to an art collective in Chicago. I did drawings then. I've switched to collage partly because I love different types of paper. Our group put together a book to present at an art event. We picked a word randomly from a dictionary and each created large pages based on the word. It was an odd word - stum - which is a residue left from making wine. But it was a fun project. Books like that are unique because of their unplanned juxtaposition of images.
