Description:

Here's my first swap hosted!
For this you will make a 'zine according to these masterful directions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh1W15BWCUk&NR=1
Make a 'zine portraying your favorite things about Winter. It does not have to be holiday related, but if it is, so be it.
I, personally, have never made a 'zine so this will be new for me, too!
When you have finished making your 'zine, copy it and send it to 5 folks. That way you will meet 5 new friends! (but only have to make ONE 'ZINE!) This is about you, so you can start crafting your 'zine as soon as you sign up, you don't have to wait for partner assigns. It's a crazy time of year, so I'm giving plenty of time.
Da Rulz:
No no sends, flakeapotamuses or big meanies. If you're new, give me a shout. If you don't have a profile, I'll assume you're not serious and WHACK YOU!
You will make one 'zine and copy it, fold it, etc. and send it to 5 lucky Swappers.
It's Interplanetary so if you're not an English speaker HOP ON! How fun is that!!!???

Ok I am a dingbat, what is a zine?

CandyStar 10/23/2007 #

zines are self-published magazines... in their authentic form they don't require a ' before it and they're usually made on photocopiers, a product of the punk-rock revolution

The swap-bot variety is a lot tamer, however... go to the link to find out more information

Very good description, Jesse! Thanks. I can't help the ' before things like that. I work for a newspaper and sometimes just can't help myself.
Have fun with it and be creative! My daughter made a zine (there, see, I can do it without the ') with all her favorite jokes and Girl Scout Songs, and she's just SEVEN!

Girtha and Jesse: I know what a zine is, but I don't know what this part means: "a 'before it...".

Artistic- We're just bantering about zine versus 'zine. I don't think it really matters how you spell it, as long as you know what it is!

Artistic 10/25/2007 #

Ahhh, duh! :) I get it now. LOL!

Thanks.

I have a question, does the zine have to be ENTIRELY about winter and winter related things? I have a zine I make pretty regularly. I could add four or five winter related pages to it, and it would be pretty long and fun to read. Just curious.

That YouTube video is a good tutorial. My 8-year-old niece made a coloring book titled "Bug Book" using this template. See the finished product here: Bug Book

I love that tut. I just came upon that one a couple of days ago and made one about owls. You should see some of the video responses to that one too as some of them are really cool. Especially the 7th Grade s**cked one by lisasimpson.

girthta 11/13/2007 #

Yea, my 7 year old daughter watched this video with me and made a joke book. She's going to make more for Christmas presents.
If you get my name and have a kid, I would love a zine written by a kid.

My zines will go out tomorrow. I was just a bit too late for the mail today.

Girthta, I REALLY enjoyed making these, and I am hoping you will consider hosting another zine swap when you can. Thanks!

Artistic 11/27/2007 #

Zines are en route to my five partners. I had fun. Hope you like it!

Momwithahook 12/ 8/2007 #

Got your Zine Girtha. Really enjoyed the layout and the theme. You did a great job.

Heidi 12/11/2007 #

Sent today =]

RudeNun 12/11/2007 #

Sent mine off today. I hope they get there in one piece..

catlingmex 12/12/2007 #

Girthta, like Wanda, I very much enjoyed making my zine here in this little "protected" environment. Would you host another, please? Start thinking of a theme ...

girthta 12/13/2007 #

I'm so glad you guys enjoyed the zine swap. I'll come up with another idea soon. For now, I'm trying to get through the HOLIDAYS!!!
If/when I do another zine swap I'll let you all know!
Cheers
Girty
