Week One (the first one)

9/25? Already?

Good Morning Afternoon Evening Night

This week is the first of many to come, so we will start small. Consider this an initiation into the society.

To begin,

Before you step outside you may need to take precautions and make preparations.

A list of things you may need:

Writing utensil and paper (, perhaps a journal) to record thoughts and findings

A bag, to store thoughts and findings (and rocks. Any bag is sufficient as long as it can store rocks. Beautiful rocks..)

Flashlight, because it's hard to see when things are dark

Bandaids, we hope you won't get hurt, but just in case

Water. Dehydration is not good for you

Please be careful while exploring.

Be aware of weather and enlist the company of a friend if there are safety concerns. We do not want to lose our beloved members

Weekly Explorations

#1 Go outside. Anywhere outside.

2) Find a spot to sit. It can be anywhere. Walk or bike or run and find a place that calls to you. It could be somewhere you've been before, or somewhere completely new.

3.. Think. Breath. Write what you feel. It could be a drawing, a poem, just thoughts, a single word. Whatever you do is special.

4= Take something, leave something. Take something small. A leaf, a stick, a R O C K. Leave something small. A drawing, a note, A N O T H E R R O C K. Even if you can't take something small, even the act of breathing, taking the oxygen, leaving the carbon dioxide for the beautiful plants to recycle, it's enough.

That is all for this week. Feel free to begin the Weekly Explorations on any day, at any time. Remember: all adventures are good. Time doesn't matter. Day doesn't matter. Just take the time to appreciate the small worlds around you.

This has been a message from The Head Of The Society, written by The Hands Of The Society, and spell checked by the raccoon that has been stealing the glass jars from our recycling bins (they were $financially compensated$ for their work)

A message from the advisors

The raccoon was a spy. The Head Of The Society still won't let us review what they write, so we planted the raccoon to try and get inside information. Sadly, we forgot that the raccoon didn't know how to take screenshots so that plan was a failure.

Feel free to post about your Weekly Explorations with the tag #thesocietyexploratory, if you want to. Have a wonderful day and remember, there's nothing hiding in the dark expect the creatures it obscures.

any tips on making/collecting the little trinkets you attach to all your stuff? they're so fascinating to me & I'm wondering how one gains an eye for it

Idk about tips exactly but I’ll tell how I got my stuff

A lot of my beads and buttons have been laying around for years but I also browse charity and thrift shops, I’ve gotten a few jars of assorted buttons and random things for a couple €, ask around if anyone you know has broken or unwanted jewellery. Eyes on the floor! Shiny metals, bottle caps, lost earrings, empty lighters, literally anything that catches my eye. If you’re lucky you can find lots of cool stuff completely free (maybe check bins from craft shops and others) or for cheap if you can find a good thrift.

Car boot sales, attic sales and other ways people sell random stuff has a fairly good chance of some nice stuff and if you’re incredibly lucky maybe even a whole box of cool shiny junk.

For my thicker chains and the like hardware shops are a good one, handbags, shoes and belts will also sometimes have some nice parts. At the thrift I go there’s always a box of belts, I like to dig to the bottom and collect any broken stuff and belts made mostly of metal or leather (funky colours as well) bag straps that have clasps are nice too

Don’t be afraid to take something apart if you have a use or idea for it’s parts (try to make sure its something you won’t miss tho lol) a screw driver, pliers and a little metal saw goes a long way in way getting gears and little bits of metal (I once took apart a fishing rod reel, cool find with ball bearings and gears)

For more a diy aspect, bottle caps, safety pins, a steady hand and some nail polish (or just sharpie, but getting white or light coloured polish helps it stand out) can go a long way. Buttons as well can be painted. Also organic stuff like wood, bones, pebbles etc looks cool

Don’t forget fabric and embroidery! It takes longer and a bit of practice to get going but it really adds to a lot.

Bracelets, necklaces, pendents, bike parts, gears, earrings, coins, hell even fake nails and other things I can’t think of can be used in weird and interesting ways that might not be obvious, so mess around and experiment

Hmmm….. that’s all I got, otherwise… check Pinterest or some diy tags here for inspiration, while most of my designs are original it’s allllll inspired by cool things other people have done

Think like a crow

A few outfits from lately. All with sweaters, belts, necklaces and a couple with some trousers, rather than the usual long skirts.

Welcome to The Society of The Exploratory

What do we do here?

We explore. We discover things. Mysteries, anomalies, new things, old things, anywhere and everywhere.

What are we looking for?

Everything. (But especially rocks. We love rocks. So shiny.. so so very good. All of our many many eyes searching for good rocks.)

Who can join?

Anyone. One condition, you have to be up for adventure. Whether you explore in wooded forests, concrete tunnels or the liminal sidewalks of suburbia, we want you to join us.

(Actually we have one more condition. You need to find rocks. We love rocks, and we want you to love rocks as much as we do. Collect them, store them, sort them, observe them, make sure they don't move too much on their own.)

How can you join?

Technically, you're already in it. But we don't know that.

We need members. Our advisors say that we can find them here. We have found you here. Join us. Join the society.

A NOTE FROM THE ADVISORS ©

This post was written by The Head (and hands) Of The Society and they will not let us read it to check for errors, for they claim it is without flaw. If you would like to join, please reblog this post and follow our blog. The Head Of The Society will post weekly missions and newsletters. Have a wonderful day and do try to stay safe. Remember, there are eyes everywhere but some choose not to see.
