Can we make it a little more marriage and a little less wedding? After all, Cinderella's REAL story didn't begin until after the wedding. :) I'll go with whatever you say of course, but I have some ideas that just are bubbling to get out.

When you say size pages is like like an a4 folded in half, so each page is half a piece of paper, or are we talking full pages?

And when I said 'size pages' I was clearly distracted because I meant six pages. The z and x keys are very close together..

Okay, now I am confused on size/number of pages too. I got what Lisa meant and I had it kinda set it my head, but she raises a good point. I would think it would be traditional 8.5X11 folded otherwise we would have to "bind" the pages together. So it would be three actual pieces of paper, correct? Folded in half, using both sides.

Can you verify this or point us in the right direction?

More on marriage is definitely fine, and as far as the pages, I mean like six pages to turn, so however you want to cut or fold them is fine. Does that make sense?

Are the front and back covers considered pages? Don't mean to be picky but I am trying to plan it out in my head before I get started.

How do you make a zine? I've been interested in them, but couldn't find info about them. Thanks!

Unfortuantely some other commitments are infringng on my time. I am going to have to drop this one - however I will ikely be around for another zine one in the future. :) Best of luck - it should be a lot of fun.

Yes, you can count the covers as pages!

As far as making zines, try to look up "Chinese sweatshop" or "the gleaner" with the word zines in your search. These are two of the quintessential artsy zines.

And don't be afraid to start small, think of cardmaking heavy ... two or three fold cards together to make a booklet, and then fill up all the pages with text, art, stamps, etc. instead of leaving blank space for writing your message.

What is a zine?

LINBUR0100 06/30/2007 #

Ok, I know what a zine is, but if you're making something like this, isn't this more like a small hand made book than a zine. When I think of zine, I think of something that is going to be published (even if self published) and made avaialble for copying. If you're only making one (or two) duplicates of this one, that isn't exactly a zine; more like an art journal, etc. Sorry if I'm confused.

Thanks
