This is the tear this page, rip it up.
I ripped strips, then weaved them to themselves,
When I saw that the next page was glue/tape these pages together,
I ripped it, too, and wove and glued them together.

I cut through a bunch of pages, but since I'm still choosing to make art from my destruction, I cut out a figure and glued the cut-outs back in on different pages.
For the wrap something page,
I chose to wrap all the pieces that I've cut or torn out of the journal so far.

Yeah, I burned it. I'm glad I read about other people's experiences first,
so I was at the sink with the water running before I lit the match.

In order to get the page in my mouth to chew it,
instead of just biting the edges, I tore a strip, and chewed that.

I had been neglecting part of the purpose of this book. I have been enjoying the wrecking, but I hadn't been using it as a journal at all. In an attempt to combine both, I'm choosing to use my write one word over and over page to write the word "peace" whenever I need a moment's peace.
Another ongoing project is documenting a boring event. I am using someone else's idea of numbering the pages by when I finish them. The wrecking and creating are not at all boring, but the page numbering is. So this is where I will document it.
I tore out and attached the Lose This Page so I will have more room for my page numbers list.
As you can see, I am still very attached to my journal. I haven't swung it and hit walls, I haven't dragged it behind me on a walk, I haven't dropped it from up high, I haven't asked anyone to do something destructive to a page. Perhaps I'll face those challenges in this coming week. For me, just finding all these new ways to make messes that make art has been freeing and rewarding.

I like the picture of where you found your journal in the morning after sleeping with it. Happy wrecking!
You've got some really interesting pages here!Fun huh?
You've had some pretty creative ideas with these pages. I'm really enjoying seeing how different people are interpreting the tasks to do.
Love it!
You have had some interesting takes on some of it - love the cut out doll :) That's clever! I haven't done the "cut this page" page yet... I may borrow your idea!
I just numbered the one page (I numbered it 22) and decided not to number any others.
I also really like how you are going to lose that page. Great ideas!
Very ingenious ways of wrecking! Love the weaving and the cutout ideas! :)
I love your cut out doll.

Lots of creative, delicious fun! The cutout girl is so much fun. I'm imagining all the places she could show up.
So does the paperdoll girl pilot the paperplane? I just love that airplane photo. You are on such a roll. Wreck on!!!
