Number of swap partners:1
Description:

For this swap you will have only one partner. You'll send your partner 2 copies of one of your mini zines. This can be a new zine or one you've made previously, on any topic and any style.

NOTE: You are mailing out 2 copies of the same zine! One is for them to keep and one is for them to share in celebration of Free Art Fridays - "artwork placed on the street for any member of the public to enjoy and take home." (As quoted from the Free Art Friday Facebook page)

So when you receive your partner's zines, keep one for your collection and put the other one in a plastic baggie (to protect it from the elements) with a "FREE ART" label clearly visible. Then leave the bag where someone will find it. Place it on a park bench, on a neighbor's porch, a coworker's desk, or some wildly creative place in your town! Share the love of free art!

NEVER MADE A MINI ZINE? A mini zine is an 8 page zine made from 1 sheet of paper. If you are new to making mini zines, here's a great instructional template from TangleCrafts... http://tanglecrafts.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/mini-zine-pdf.pdf

REQUIREMENTS Open to swappers with a minimum rating of 4.95, no recent 1's or 3's. I will angel, if necessary, after you have rated a 1. Have fun and post below if you have any questions! :)

Sweet! Someone will be lucky to find your art @Wingy !! I think I'm going to print off instructions for making a mini zine and include that in the bag too. Maybe inspire a new zinester movement! :)
