Rozelle's Project Sketchbook

"Project Sketchbook is an annual mail-art project organized by the Rozelle Artists Guild. We hand cut, assemble, sew, stamp, package, and mail as many miniature sketchbooks as we can (this year, nearly 250 thus far to keep up with requests) to whoever wants one. You fill it up however you want, and we collect them. All entries are featured in an annual printed catalog, and in a open to the public exhibition."   --Rozelle Project Sketchbook Website

I learned about this in Design class. It seems to be the Memphis version of a Brooklyn based project. The difference is it's FREE.  They get their money from fundraising on Indiegogo.   That and they are a much smaller operation...without the prestige of NYC.  Still, free is free and free is good for me.

Your starting point

There's still time to request a sketchbook for this year.  However, it's an ASAP deal as you have to mail the completed book back by Feb 17th.  They are going to cut off mailing sketchbooks out soon.  You can request their mini sketchbook here

You don't necessarily have to draw in it.  You can make a sculpture out of it.  A very tiny sculpture (you've got 12 pages).  Tiny. 

In a previous year, someone took the sketchbook apart and restrung it with wire.  Makes it look like an entirely different product from the book it started out as.

Isn't this cool?
