well i have about 10 cards left and i think those are almost spoken for this has been alot easier the second time around...jasmine

already planning another mailing with more of a hand crafted look.
I've been talking with one other person about passing along a set of cards and sort of altering in mass production...like we would pass along 100 cards and each person adds their "mark" to all 100.
anyone interested in this? ahve any thoughts other ideas?

      how many would you say?
      maybe we could get a few people in and have each start like 25 or so, and then mail them to the next person- and then eventually we could get through a higher number at different intervals. the cards would have all the same 'stuff' on them, just at different times?
      is that an idea?
      or does that take away from the continuity?

        Or do it like a chain letter, start by sending one, then the next person adds to it, and every 20th one or so, they all get mailed back to the list originator... hmm. needs more thought. After 20 - is the original person the originator or the new set of 20?

          how about this
          i could make little blank books...sewen binding
          maybe you could come up with covers or cover art or titles or we could colaborate on them...then there would be room to pass them along and room for others to do their thing...??

              maybe theres a theme and each person completes a book

              or they are given an envolpe of address labels and they just choose one and send it off the the next person...but i dont know how to get it back??

              or each person is given a page and them they are sewen together and altered again

              this is making me a little crazy...somebody come up with some type of organization plz.

                we start off with one page. and with the page comes a list of 20 names and addresses. finish page and send to some one on the list . when you get it add a page, send it to someone on the list and cross your name off. someone along the way (the 20th person?) is in charge of the cover and the last person the binding? or send a whole book everyone creates a page and adds to the cover...anyone can alter it in anyway keeping in mind the if its ripped into pieces in the very begining options are somewhat limited....and last person sends it to you. maybe that could work

                  this sounds good this page by page thing
                  • This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.

                      yes yes sets...
                      so i started some mock up books to try to visualize it

                      several ideas ill limit to sharring two right now...
                      i punched very small pages for a spiral bind
                      these could be sent to mult persons
                      and bound in whatever order ...mult books
                      but i think thye should have a theme or a story printed on them.

                      the other idea is these small books
                      i started about 36
                      they have an acordian binding
                      not sure what to do but i think these should be done in the mass production style..or what ever you want to call it ...ill send all 36 on to someone else ...who then passes them all on as one unit.
                      i think these need somekind of connection too..but not a story ...
