I love mini zines! If you do too or if you've never made one but always wanted to... this is the swap for you! :)

THE SWAP: You will have two partners and mail each partner 1 mini zine. The zines you mail are normally photocopied from an original, you keep the original.

THE TOPIC: You'll create a mini zine to celebrate a wacky holiday for the month of July.

You can use this website as a guide... http://www.holidayinsights.com/moreholidays/july.htm

EDIT: I had not noticed the "Nude Day" for the 14th before creating this swap. While I understand that everyone has different views on the subject of art and nudity, please be respectful of all participants and choose another holiday from the list. Thanks!

MAKING A MINI ZINE: Make your zine using any style you're comfortable with. If you are new to making mini zines, here's a great instructional template from TangleCrafts... http://tanglecrafts.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/mini-zine-pdf.pdf

THE REQUIREMENTS Open to swappers with a minimum rating of 4.90, no recent 1's or 3's. I will angel, if necessary.

Have fun and post below if you have any questions! :)

@Wingy Ha ha!! Please do... this is a PG swap! :) And it's about time you joined! :)

BTW... whoever receives my name as a partner, please honor the 30th by creating my zine from cheesecake (chocolate ganache, optional). :)

Wingy 06/28/2013 #

i dont know if i can do the cheesecake one :(((

picupurcross 06/28/2013 #

@Wingy LOL! That's ok! :) Maggie likes to bake! @soyprincesa2 Can you make a zine out of cheesecake? :D

Wingy 06/28/2013 #

lol

soyprincesa2 06/30/2013 #

@picupurcross To be honest I have never made a zine from any type of food. hmmmm... If I were to get a really heavy rolling pin to flatten the cheesecake, and then using a very fine cake decorating tip I could write the text for my zine..... and then maybe use a phyllo sheet to make an envelope..... I bet it wouldn't make it past my mailbox... it was 112 degrees today.... any chocolate in the mailbox would have melted!!!!

picupurcross 06/30/2013 #

Well, that's a shame! :) But I suppose to celebrate the 30th properly a mini zine sized cheesecake wouldn't be enough anyway!

Wingy 07/ 5/2013 #

picupurcross 07/ 5/2013 #
