This is a collaborative zine swap. It will consist of 7 (count 'em SEVEN!) rounds. Please don't join if you can't commit to all 7 rounds of this swap. It will work like this (I hope). Round 1: You will make a standard mini-zine from an 8.5 X 11 inch piece of paper. You will decide on a theme for your zine and decorate the front and back pages (covers) accordingly. You should include some contact info on the back page. Then you will send that unfinished zine to your partner. Round 1 complete! Round 2: You will decorate page 2 of the zine you received in Round 1. Follow the originator's theme. Then you will send it to your Round 2 partner. Rounds 3 thru 7: We will continue swapping zines, contributing one page at a time until they are full. Then you will send it back to the originator. Use any media you like - collage, pencil, marker, paint - whatever media you like to create with. We did a bunch of these a number of years ago and they are GREAT fun! It's so cool to see everyone's art and different takes on themes. Please see SamJowers tips below. Be sure to put your address or contact info on the back page, or the person who adds the final page won't know whom to send it back to. Clear as mud? Please send any questions you might have to me via PM, not this page. I think we used to do about a month more or less between rounds. Thanks to SamJowers for reminding me of this fun swap. |
