Go now and make beautiful things!
This is so wonderful. Thanks to the heroic efforts of
five_cats and
faustian_wish everybody now has a partner! (there are a few stragglers, i'll take care of them today.)
Here's how this works -- behind the cut is a long long long list of people and their new creative partners. Go through the list, find your name, contact your partner (if it's an LJ person and you're not an lj person, you can click on their name, then on their "info" page and look for "send private message") and introduce yourself!
1) Whatever you do creatively is up to the two of you. Figure it out yourselves. If one of you plays the oboe and the other bakes cookies, all the better, I can't wait to see what you come up with.
2) Some suggestions? Words and images, words and words, video, exquisite corpse, dance inspired by poetry, poetry inspired by gardening, comic strips, cartoons, found art, photos, paintings, collages, pressed flowers with captions, short stories that illustrate photos -- the world is your oyster.
3) In exactly one month (more or less) I'll make another post asking people to show what they've done together so we can all see.
4) I've noticed that there are some Very Famous People on this list -- thank you especially for taking the time. I expect that some of you on this list will have experiences that change your lives, perhaps in subtle ways now, but as we've seen, those subtle things can have huge impact years later.
I've created a community
2xcreative for people to discuss collaborative projects, find inspiration, meet creative partners, talk about what's going on here -- I'm not sure how it will get used, but it's there and you should feel free to join it and help it become whatever it may become. If you're just coming along and looking for someone to collaborate with, you should post there, and feel free to post about this project on your own blog and send people over there.
Every day make the world better for your having been here breathing her air.
You make me proud and happy. Now go and make beautiful things!
