theme all clear here. as a matter of fact, i'm just about done. this was a whole lot easier than i thought it would be *grins*

 Ok, I'm in. I've been wanting to try a zine. This will encourage me to be more active in artella as well. Thanks for hosting! karen

 

No problem, Karen! I'm glad you are willing to try something new.

When anyone is ready to mail their zines, just give me a shout and I'll email my snail mail address. I love snail mail, especially "pretty mail"!

My zines are nearly finished as well...Two pages left!

You can see the covers on my blog at www.creativeinspirations.blogspot.com.

More images may be posted later.

Cheers! Fellow Zinesters!

The zine covers are great, Chris.  Now, I can hardly wait to see what's inside, curious gal that I am!  I've got a feelin' that these zines will be cookin' with creativity....

Hi there, fellow zinesters and wannabes (those who didn't participate, ahem!)!

Here's what I'd like from each of you, if you will (cash, check, money order....oh, sorry!) - please EMAIL me your "favorite" pet peeve or short rant. As long as they are fairly PG or PG-13, I will use them in my own zine. Shhh! It's a secret, so make sure you email it to me only.

If you're unsure of how to find me, click above my cat photo avatar and select "send copper cat an email" - I don't publish my email address. If you are having trouble, give me a shout out here and I'll email you.

Thank you in advance,

~copper cat 

 

 

 

Attention all Artella members! The deadline for signing up for the Autumn/Fall '08 Zine Swap is September 2nd, which is fast approaching! We're encouraging everyone who even thinks the word "zine" to try this unique, fun art.

Thanks to all who signed up - it's not too early to send your zines in. As a matter of fact, I've already gotten one set in and they are beautiful! You will definitely be pleased, and that's only the first set. Let's make this the best zine swap yet!!

Gentle hugs,

~copper cat

Hooray for you Copper Cat,

I participated in the last Spring Zine happening and it was a blast!  Of course, I am dancing in.  Thank you so much for hosting this zine.  Okay, now what other project can I set aside to do this one.  [smile]

 Blessings,

Judy Bleu-Green

 

Having never participated in a Zine Swap before, I have to tell y'all that this is one very excited Albertan Artist!  While they're not near finished yet, the zines are well on the way of becoming A-R-T rather than frightening white sheets of paper!

This is a great experience and now that I've found my Giddy Up Go, it's finally sunk in that I'm going to swap ten zines with ten creative, inspiring individuals.  It feels great.

I'm with Chameleon! I've never participated in a zine swap either, but I am very excited about the whole process! My zines are coming along nicely and I can't wait to see the others!

This is going to be SO COOL! A specialty (and special!) zine from Bill, and at least three newcomers. I can't wait to see them all. Still working on my own, but they are comin' along.

Sending my snail mail address to those who don't yet have it - if you haven't heard from me, either email me or give me a shout here!

Gently hugging everyone in the zine swap,

~copper cat

Hey: Thanks for the email reminding me of the zine swap. I have been working on it today! I hope it turns out to be something I will want to send. i am excited to be swapping and look forward to recieving other artist's zines. I just went to Bill's tutorial on zines. Good information. What really got me started on zines was Alma Stollers blog. I think the address is almastoller.typepad.com. She makes wonderful happy art, and somewhere on her blog is a tutorial on how to make a zine. Hope this helps anyone who needs the help. Carol

Hi everyone!

Are you ready to work on zines? Today is the last day to sign up! You have until October 11, 2008 to postmark your zines to me; please don't forget

Here's who I have signed up and have sent my snail mail address to:

I am so excited for our fall/autumn (your pick of how you call the season) zine swap -- I'll be here and there on Artella; give me a shout or email me if you have any problems, questions, or just want to let me know your package is in the mail. Woohoo!! 

~faerie catmother of fall zines - copper cat~

 

Not to freak anyone out but did you know that .....

....there are only twenty-three more days until we have to mail our zines out to our host, faerie catmother of fall zines?  That's right - twenty-three!  Yikes.  Ask me if I'm prepared, got it all together, if I'm in total control of the situation and I'll have to reply,  "No, not yet, but ask me again in a week or two."  I know that I'm having the time of my life creating these zines and can hardly wait to see all of yours. 

What about the rest of the zinesters?
