Within the pages of The Pocket Scavenger, you’ll be instructed to go on an unusual scavenger hunt, collecting a spectrum of random items: something that is miniature, a stain that is green, something from the year you were born, a used envelope, and more. Once your quarry is in hand, you’ll apply an alteration dictated solely by chance: create a funny character, make it into a building, conceal it, add polkadots, remove a section, add stripes, scribble on top, fold, turn into an article of clothing, make it “pretty,” and so on.
The results: you’ll be forced out of habitual ways of thinking or acting, discover new connections, and try things you might not have done on your own, creating a version of The Pocket Scavenger that is unique, dependent on time, place, experience, and you.
Scavenger hunts are fun, but Wreck This Journal creative provocateur Keri Smith now takes this activity to a new stimulating level. Instead of simply gathering odd items, Keri invites us to transfigure them in unexpected ways. With her instigations and chance procedures, you can make buildings, artwork, and even clothing at your haphazard scavenger hunt finds. Much too fun to leave on a bookshelf.
