Anyone willing to participate in a long-term community art project?

Hello Fellow Crafters,

I am student currently pursuing my BFA in Fine Arts. In one of my courses for the semester, I am to do a 16-week long project of my own design. The project is to show how our pieces progress or change over time. My proposal for the project is to send one of my stuffed monsters out into the world and track his journey through a blog. I am looking for people willing to take him and document his travels with me. The plan is I will make a schedule of where he will go and I will coordinate who gets him when and who they send him to next. Since we are all craft-minded people I thought it would be nice to have the participants make something to send along with him or write in a scrapbook or something.

I was hoping to get my monster to travel as far as possible, but with the time constraints I think residents of the US or Canada would probably work best. Also, people with cameras and, preferably photography experience, would be great since I would post photos you took of him in your town on the blog.

I think this should be a really fun project and if you're willing to be a part of it, please contact me.

Thanks!

How big/heavy is this monster? (I have a major issue with shipping prices, but if it is lightweight and/or small it sounds fun!)

Sure, I'll give it a whirl. It'll be sort of like the traveling gnome.
