20141026_150329

It’s finished! My very first perzine – Don’t Call Me Cupcake – is finished, and it’s available on Etsy!

This issue focuses mostly on mental health stuff – my long road to finding a therapist I like, being in ‘bipolar denial’ for years, art therapy and so on. But I have a couple other things in there too, like how to get in touch plus a zine review!

Please check it out and let me know what you think. I want this to be the first of many.

Zine Ninja Approves – SGZ on Etsy!

20141003_174054

Zine Ninja approves of all the Sea Green Zines.

I am happy to announce that all Sea Green Zines (Dear Anonymous 1 & 2, Occupy Melbourne, The Perfect Pocket Guinness Guide) are now available on the InkyBlots Etsy Store.

Woohoo!

A special note: I’ve printed off 40 copies of Occupy Melbourne… and those are the last 40 copies that will be printed.

Yep, I am retiring one of my zines. I might be retiring the Guinness mini-zine as well, but I’m undecided at the moment. So if you’d like any of these, now you know where you can get them.

Time Well Spent

20140918_193251

Most Thursdays, I have the pleasure of meeting up with friends for writing/creative talk as well as yummy nibbles. We’ve also recently added wine, which was an excellent decision. 🙂

Today I had the extra pleasure of introducing the group to zines! I am so excited (as were they), and the number ideas we brainstormed… I am so looking forward to what they come up with next week.

I will even get a start on my next zine: Don’t Call Me Cupcake…

Settling Down with a Printer

20140909_171042

Unfortunately, we had to say goodbye to our previous copier/scanner/printer. It did not operate as advertised.

Sigh.

Alas, we have found love! This beauty, henceforth named Sophie, is a copier/scanner/printer that does 2->2 copying, duplex printing for A4 and A5, scanning, photo printing…

I can see Sophie fitting in just fine at Sea Green Zines.

It’s a Big Job, But…

20140831_170813

I’m still getting to know my printer/copier and have yet to give it a name, but we’re getting along well. I’ve now printed off everything I need to make 40 copies off all of my zines.

That’s right. The Perfect Pocket Guinness Guide is coming back for a limited time.

But after this? Both TPPGG and the Occupy Melbourne zine are going to be retired. I really want to concentrate on Dear Anonymous (especially as letters are starting to come in!) as well as get one or two other zines going. I don’t want to tend up spreading myself too thin again, which was why this place surrendered to the crickets for months.

So for now? I have a lot of folding to do…

Hello, My Pretty

20140827_203818

I’m not sure what I want to call it yet, but it will have a name. After all, it is an important part of my plan for getting back into the zine world!

Okay, not so much part of the plan as a happy accident. I didn’t plan for my old printer to kick the bucket, but I did plan on getting a copier/printer when it did happen. No more running to OfficeWorks to copy my zines.

This little beauty and I are still getting to know each other. Things are going well so far. I think it could be love.
