Zine Review: Sticker Culture Zine

Sticker Culture Zine is a black and white A5 zine all about stickers, sticker culture, and deeper meanings.

If you’ve watched Happy Mail Monday for any length of time, then you know I adore stickers. So when I saw this zine, of course I needed to check it out. I was very excited to check out a deeper look into something I love so much.

Sticker Culture opens with an introduction from CJ and his love of zines. I couldn’t help but smile because his excitement about zines is so clear in the introduction. From there we go right into the topic of sticker anxiety (not using your stickers because of anxiety around permanently putting down a sticker), and I almost declared ‘yes!’ while sitting in public. Talk about feeling seen. Sticker anxiety transitions nicely into reusable sticker books (which I love and have made), how to make your own reusable sticker book, stickers and self-expression, and so much more.

Sticker Culture Zine is so easy to read with clear, big type. Yet even with with the bigger type, this zine is still packed with so many different aspects of stickers. CJ even dedicates three pages to stickers and AI with tips on avoiding AI generated sticker art.

As a bonus, the middle spread is a sticker blast spread! I love an interactive zine, and this can be a fun way to use some of those stickers you might not otherwise use.

All up, Sticker Zine Culture is a fun zine and something anyone who loves stickers and/or wants to look deeper into sticker and sticker-related things should definitely check out. I feel like this is just the tip of the iceberg, so I hope to see more sticker-related zines in the future.

ZineWriMo Day 13: Work In Progress Wednesday

Hello and happy Wednesday, zine friends.

Wednesdays are for your work in progress. And as much as I have piled on my desk, today’s Work In Progress is me. I went on a little adventure for fresh air and sunshine. There’s a place nearby that I always wanted to check out, and I finally did. It was so lovely and peaceful. So worth it.

Refilling the well is important too! What do you work on today?

Happy Monday, zine friends! We don’t have Happy Mail Monday today, but we do have plenty of good feels with today’s prompt!

I had the inspiration for this zine quite a while ago and was happy to have the time to not only start but also finish this zine today! This one is for my recent but already dear friend Violet who has taught me so much.

Who are you celebrating today?

Is it Sunday already? My goodness. Today we show off our favourite zinemaking tools. I wasn’t sure what to pick at first because my love of stationery includes so much. But then I thought I would pick what I use most – which has to be what I have in my pencil case!

What are your favourite zinemaking tools?

ZineWriMo Day 9: Refill the Well: Listen to & share your favourite creative tunes

Hello and happy zine weekend, my dear zine friends! I don’t think I have ever been so ready for a weekend as I am for this one. My goodness! Today it’s about refilling that well and the tunes we use to do so.

Here’s a screenshot of part of my Spotify ‘feels’ list that I find really puts me into a zone.

What are you listening to?
