Zine Obsessed




It's all about the Zines, Above is my last Mini Nora Zine.
'Nora's 1st Christmas'
Avaliable here and comes with Nora Christmas Stickers :P
I have had such fun making my collection of Nora's Zines, they have been so popular, however i felt i needed to go bigger with the Zines and bring along with Nora more characters......i am excited to say A 16 page monthly Zine/ Comic will now be brought out, which i hope will be as well recieved.
It will be jam packed full of paperliscious goodness.
Will keep you updated on its release date.
I have developed a bit of things for Zines, i just love them...perhaps your reading this and wondering what is a Zine...ok here we go ....

zine is a publication designed for a very limited target audience, and usually distributed on a small scale, as well. They are often spread by hand through the relevant community; for example, a punk zine might be available at punk performances, and a poetry zine would be featured at poetry readings. The term itself is short for “magazine,” suggesting a collection of varied written and visual work distributed to readers at a relatively low cost. A zine is often viewed as a news organ of an underground  community, and a zine's readership often has an inclusive sense of pride at being part of the movement the zinerelates to.

Here is a tutorial on Zine making...why not have a go ?

I really want to share my latest Zines that i have bought...



Soyalegato first illustrated zine!

Each fanzine has a compilation of 20 of her journal drawings from 2009 to 2011 in mixed 160gr light blue, light pink, light yellow and light green recycled paper
This Zine is out there with really unique illustration




I think you can tell by now i love cats, and i love this Zine by Beth Wilson


This Little Zine has captured the nature of cats so well.
Her shop is full of wonderful cat creations to, so do pop over...


This next Zine was a trade with  Becka Moor

I just love her illustration style so much and was delighted to do this trade,
it included a print too.
So very unique


My Zine Collection



So i hope you have enjoyed this little piece on my latest obsession of Zines
Stayed tuned for my new publication, and why not have a go at your own Zine.
