International Zine Month 2018 – Day 18 – Zine Trade Day!

Hello, zine friends! Today is another lovely prompt of paying it forward and spreading sunshine.

Today’s prompt is:

Zine Trade Day! Ask someone to trade zines

Just like with free zine day, all you need to do let me know in the comments if you’d like to do a trade. 🙂 I may not be able to trade straight away, but I will soon.

Have a wonderful day!

International Zine Month 2018 – Day 17 – Flyer Flier

Hello, zine friends! Today’s IZM prompt is:

Make a flyer for your zine to trade with others or to send out with zine orders

I have a few fliers that I use for various projects and a few more that I need to make. For today, though, I updated the ones I send out the most.

I like it when people tuck little bits and bobs into what they send. It’s a fun, easy way to let people know about what you’re working on that can be easily passed on.

Do you have fliers? I’d love to see them.

International Zine Month 2018 – Day 16 – Zine Love

Welcome to a brand new week! The prompts keep rolling on, and today we have…

Today’s prompt is:

Make a list of reasons you love zines

Oh, how I love zines. Let me count the ways… Haha. I think I’ve gone on about this a lot here, but there’s nothing wrong with expressing a bit more zine love. These aren’t the only reasons I love zines, but they are the big ones:

*Everyone is Welcome to Make a Zine – You don’t have to be a certain age, in a certain location, at a certain skill level, or anything like that to make a zine. Something to write with and something to write on are pretty much the only general requirements (though some zines don’t have writing!).

*Variety is the Spice of the Zineverse – Just when I think I’ve seen all the ways to make zines, something springs up and surprises me. Different ways of binding, creating, printing… So much fun and variety.

*Zinemakers – There are all types of people no matter where you go, but I have had the pleasure of meeting more supportive and lovely people into zinemaking than any other hobby or community. I could go on all day about the wonderful things I have seen, heard, read about, and personally experienced. I’m grateful for zines and zine people every day.

I’m going to stop myself there because I could keep going and going. I’d love to know what you love about zines. Let me know in the comments or link to your post so I can check it out!

Have a wonderful day.

International Zine Month 2018 – Day 14 – ValenZines Day!

All you need is zine love, la la la lala. Hehe. Hello, zine friends!

Today’s prompt is:

ValenZines Day! Give yourself some zine love in whatever way it means to you (read zines in the tub? Buy some new scissors?)

When I first saw this prompt, I thought about a bubble bath zine reading session or curling up on the recliner. But today the sun is shining, I’m in a lovely mood, and I have plenty of zine-related tasks to tinker with. For me, this is a lovely zine way to spend the day.

What are you up to today?
