Global 5 is a Circle of 4 people. Below shows the progression of their shared books, and includes some of their e mail as well as drawn conversations.

Hi,
I made 3 ‘sort of’ folded booklets to be inserted/integrated into Kelly’s folded book and I used Kelly’ paper, that was ‘hidden’ in the book as well.
One of the book contains hidden books/dummies again… a fraktal thing….Imreally enjoyed doing it – Kelly, thanks for the modular charaktar of the book allowing for juggling around so much!!
In addition, I kept on working on the idea of taking the Circling Drawings literally and the mistry of the books circulating…
I will pass the book on to Venantius now.
Warmest regards to everyone
Ilse

OVERALL all has gone well.
Also, if they get lost or lose themselves as happened with my Global 7—well then, those ingrates! I simply had to scramble and start in another, which I had with me and send on time.

Dear Angy,
yesterday and finally, and after setting up an investigation case with the Austria and the US post office :)))) my book arrived at Venantius place.
We both feel relieved :))
I also want to tell you that by waiting together, we both were given a great opportunity to get to know each other better and to have an intense and lovely communication.
We even set up a plan B in case that the book WOULD not have arrived –
thank you, Ventantius for you patience and collaboration and being cool and having fun and the mood to invent scenarios together 🙂
I am happy, that the book is in yours for a while and I am very curious to see what you do with and in it :)))
Inspired by Jo’s drawings of course but also by the distance of the ocean those first set of drawings emerged for Jo`s book – dealing with bujos, ballons, books and bottles.
I am sending them, also for the blog, Angie, if you wish to put them there – I am fond of sharing the images there as part of the dialogue.
One picture – JO_TO_ILSE shows Jo_s „last“ drawing in her book and me „taking over“, and then I am contining with the 2 drawings on the double page „IlSE“
All pictures are called BUJOS BALLONS BOOKS AND BOTTLES
With my very best wishes and sunny regards from Vienna
