Description:

This zine is for things that we create. Several years ago I started an art/craft notebook to keep my ideas, inspirations and document things that I had made. Fall is filled with art and craft festivals, and groups I’m associated with often have booths where we sell things as a fundraiser. I thought it would be cool to make a zine of these kinds of art pieces and crafts. Of course, different areas have different trends and styles – so wouldn’t it be cool to see how and what someone else is doing?

The zine should be text and visuals. It can be heavy on text or visuals or have the same amount of both. The text can be personal journal style entries, instructions, comments or whatever floats your boat. It can be done comic book style if you like. The visuals can be photo, illustration, collage….again, whatever makes your heart sing. Pictures of the projects in process and as finished would be nice.

Size- use your best judgment, but it should be at least 8 pages including the front and back cover.

You have 2 monthes from partner assignment to the send date.

Remember to keep your work original and generally copywrite free. I found a good definition of “zine� at wikipedia. Here’s the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zine

This is an international swap:)

No no-sends in the last 4 months. 4.8 or better rating. At least 5 completed snail mail swaps. This may be a labor intensive project, so if you think you won’t be able to follow through – don’t sign up. Don’t send something that you wouldn’t be happy to receive. Got questions? Drop me an e-mail. Happy Swapping!

Hello, Just to let you know I edited the # of pages. I just watched a video on youtube where the guy makes an 8 page zine out of a single sheet of 8.5 x 11 paper. I have to say, the zines I traded in college were more of the "fold and staple copied paper in the middle to make a 5.5 x 8.5 book" type. Anywho...I changed the pages to a minimum of 8 incase you make the little folded kind.
