PROJECT IDEA!

Ok sooooo all of a sudden a few days ago I had this idea for a project we could do. And then I had another idea. And thennnn I started getting really excited about it. So, I'll propose my ideas here and please let me know if you'd be interested.
It could be really fun :D

Idea 1: I was thinking..... we could start with one piece of paper, let's just say I'd start. And I'd take this piece of paper and do a little something with a letraset on it. And then, I'd stick the piece of paper with the design on it, and a piece of the letraset into an envelope and sent it on over to whoever wanted to be next. Then, that person would take the piece of paper, and also use the letraset (if they wanted to) and then use or add some sort of other thing... cut something from a paper.... add something, anything. And they'd maybe add something small and flat to the envelope for the next person to use. It's just continue until we were done... or well.. I'm not too sure how we'd finish this one up (but suggestions are awesome)!

Idea 2: Kind of building off of idea 1, I thought it might be fun if instead of one piece of paper, we could do something like a small sketchbook or something (they make really cute 3x4 moleskein ones!) But, since that might be more expensive to mail, I figured we could choose a standard size and then as long as each new page is that size, we can use whatever materials we want, and then bind it into a book at the end of the process. But it'd be kind of an open collaboration thing, sending back and forth, etc.

Ok, so I'm thinking it'd be nice to have something physical rather than digital.
Ooh, and if anyone is up for the idea, we should maybe choose a theme, right?
OH, and also, postage. I know, I know. I tried calculating postage, and it will vary based on weight. So if we could keep it flat and relatively light, postage could cost about a little over 1 USD.
Also, I realize there are probably holes in this explanation, it's hard to explain it overt he internet and everything. So let me know if it makes no sense, ahaha.

Soooo yep, any suggestions would be awesome. If you're even slightly interested, let me know: comment here or email me or whatever.

Quick Update


Hey!
So for one of my classes, "Sophomore Seminar: Contemporary Practice" we had to somehow represent our "practice"... or something. It's all kind of confusing but this is a screencap of what I've made so far. It's rough around the edges, not quite finished and everything, but I was having a lot of fun making it so I thought I'd share!

This site depicts a new piece of pulp artwork daily (except weekends, I think). Sometimes they're good and sometimes (mostly) they're just ridiculous. Fun to look at though.
