I recently learned about this amazing art practice/pen pal mashup concept called 'decos' and they sound like so much fun!!! I would LOVE to organize a small (3-7 people) group of folks from tumblr to do a deco exchange. It would be such a cool way to bring our little community into the physical world, share and create new art, and in the end, each person gets a physical keepsake that traveled all around the deco group!

What is a deco?

If you're also new to this concept, a little overview: each artist creates a little book, size and materials can vary (cardboard & ribbon seems popular) but really you just want it to be well secured and sturdy. The books usually have 4-8 pages, with most left blank. Customarily the back cover has some info about the book creator's interests and the final return address. The creator/first artist decorates the covers and indicates a theme, then they make the first entry by decorating the first page of the book.

Decorations can be whatever your heart desires! Scrapbook, drawing/painting, papercraft, I'd even say writing if that's what speaks to you based on the theme.

Then it gets sent off to the next link in the daisy chain! That artist completes the next page, going off the theme and the previous entries, and passes it along to another artist when they're done. Whoever completes the final page sends it back to the first artist, the book creator :)

So, who's in?

I participated in a postcard exchange on a discord server not too long ago that was structured similarly, yk, minus the forwarding element. You need only share your address with one person if you wish!

Dm me here @dgdraws if you'd like to try this out with me! I'll update this post when the cohort is full. We're gonna start with a 4 person group!

Last weekend, I’ve watched a movie called, ‘Christopher Robin’. It was a great movie, which really touched my heart.

In the movie, Pooh consistently says

“Doing nothing often leads to the very best something”

When you spend the day working all night, it really tires you out. Brainstorming, designing, writing or anything too much will crack you one day.

Everyone needs some time to rest. And so…!! I decide to come to work and relax with my King Bs. Other than brainstorming and working, I’ve decided to enjoy my day with some creativity!! All I need is a hard cardboard and my printed little King Bs :)

I sat at my seat. Took a deep breath and started to cut things out. Obviously made a total mess. 

“Don’t give me that look.” “These creativity actually helps me get ideas for future works!”

And that was my excuse when my colleagues started to stare at me, which actually worked. O_o

Every one of them came up to me with scissors and said they’ll help. Or did they actually mean… ‘I need some rest too.’? Hahahahaha.

I am all thumbs… So I call this my masterpiece!!! This was the best I could make…!

What do you guys think? Am I that bad at making things with my hand? (⊙︿⊙✿)
