I am a photographer. Can I take part?
Yes, if you make a collage or montage of your photo (or some photos). Just photos applied to a page will not be published (this is not a photo project)
May I use any technique?
Почти.
Almost.
- You can draw on your double page, write, sew, glue, add stickers, labels and fabric.
- You can apply your stuff with glue, all kinds of sticky tape and staples.
- Please don't apply too thick materials, otherwise the journal will lose it's form and break apart.
- Please don't apply metallic parts to the Journal! The journals will be sent by post, and sending too heavy packages is expensive!
- You may use dried plants. But don't add fresh plants and fruit to the journal! They could molder and ruin the whole journal. And in many countries it's forbidden to send fruit and vegs by post.
- Please don't apply bottles or containers with liquids! They are forbidden for intercontinental post, and they also could break and flush the journal.
- It's forbidden to use benzine, kerosine, acetone, paint and varnish which are thinned with them. Oil colors (even water-soluble) are forbidden too!
- If you use dry pastel, fix your work with a special varnish or hairspray! Otherwise your picture will dissapear, and the journal gets covered with colored dust.
- Don't use silicon gel and two-part adhesive.
- Please don't use objects made of FIMO.
Can I depict whatever I want?
No.
- This project is about inspiration. You can make pictures about the Muse, inspirationm finding ideas and getting out of a creative scrisis. Describe and depict your thoughts, recipes, and jokes about creative work.
- Of course it's forbidden to promote drugs or pornographic content and to offend someones nationality or religion.
I want to write on my picture. Can i write in any language?
Yes! But if you are from Mars and write in your native language, it would be nice if you send us a translation into english.
I want to design a cover!

Can I design more than 3 double pages in a journal?
Not in one journal. If you liked it so much, find onother journal from this project and go on there.
I would like to add the URL of my website. May I do this?
Yes! You may promote yourself, your private website and write your email address. Please don't write your post address and phone numbers, we are not allowed to publish them!
Can I promote my company in my picture?
No. Double pages with advertising of commercial projects won't be published. If you want to promote your company through our project, please write to: yana.battleinside@gmail.com
I took part in the project and would like to take the journal with me to a journey. Can I give it away in an other country?
Do this, please! Spread the journals over the world!
I have a friend in an other city/country, and I would like to send him the journal. Can I do this?
If you do this, we'll thank you so much!
I designed the last page in a journal. What's next?
Write to me: yana.battleinside@gmail.com and i'll contact you!
Why do you do this?
Because doing a big project with lots of people is fun. To share inspiration and get more of it through working with others. To see a lot of beautiful pictures, and make even more! Because I think, that it's a good feeling to see your work in the gallery, to know you are not alone, and make others feel the same. And, finally, we do it to fill the world with some more beautiful things!
I want to try, but my Muse left me right now! I have no ideas.
Take a look at the gallery, use the works of others as an inspiration. Read here, what you could and should draw.
How many journals are there?
There are 1000 journals, and all of them are numbered.
You have more questions? Write me a letter!
