This is a zine that is made entirely from one piece of A4 people. Inspired by a guide in What's a Zine? I had a go at creating a one page zine. You can also buy a sticker of what looks like Riannah making a very rude sign with her middle fingers.Ī bit of a cheat but I dug out my well thumbed copies of Stolen Sharpie Revolutionand Whatcha Mean, What is a Zine?to help inspire me to create my own zine project. Vampire Sushi have an excellent catalogue to choose from, including my personal favourites Buy Her Candy, Here. I am a sucker for any UK-based distros that specialise in feminist per-zines so let me know if there are any others out there. Now all I need to do is get the work done!Įlla Funt (which has a beautiful fabric cover!) #1 To give myself a shove, I have been making enquiries about self-service photocopying in the Glasgow area. This week I am hoping to continue working towards creating my own zine *gulps*. I wrote to the brilliantly funny and perceptive Donna, creator of Tragic Boffin, which caught my eye many months ago at Vampire Sushi distro. I do miss Chronicle Books, whom I fell in love with on my visit to San Francisco last year.Įxtra credit: I did complete task 9 which was to Write a letter to a zine maker that you don't know. With a nod to the only IMZ2013 task I completed this week (see below), I bought a letter writing set with cute little stickers. However I did stumble upon this great little shop in Ambleside called detail that has such a lovely range of quirky stationery, cards, bags and other knick knacks. Sadly the little towns I visited in the area had no obvious zine links. So I'm ashamed to say that I had a week off from zine related activities.
It was the first time in my adult life that I've come back from a holiday thinking "I really needed that time off."
I battled through it by wearing a wide brimmed hat, drinking water (and the little beer here and there), lazing around in the sun, reading books like a contented cat. Temperatures reached 26 C which is a bit hot for my Scottish internal barometer. Most of my time was spent in a blissful Internet Black Hole in the Lake District.
