Enjoy!



For the first time in a long time, I dropped out of a swap at the very last minute... I wasn't pleased with my product and decided not to trade.


So, for the sake of making use of the work that I put into the 'zine, I would like to share some of it here.

The entire zine is meant to be taken apart, cut up, used and then shared or worn.






These are just a few of the pages.

Amber, You shouldn't have dropped out, what I see is wonderful! You are too critical of your talents. This was quite interesting to me. It was however very generous of you to share this.
Smiles,Pat

I signed up for Alma Stoller's zine swap.
I Heart Zines.

The thing is, it looks better on screen than my printer made it look.
My husband asked me *after* I had already printed and bound all of my copies if I was going to fix the images that were too light.
*my heart sunk*
It was too light and small to read in some places. The printed versions are 4x4 inches... So I didn't send them for the swap. I didn't want to make Alma feel bad or any of the artists/writers in the exchange who got one that it was a cheap trade.

Sharon, it was my printed maga'zine', not charms.
Thank you Pat! :o) I am critical of the printed version. I love my digital version, that is why I am posting it to my blog.
Gypsy, nothing was offensive, but I was concerned that those who got my printed versions would find them cheap looking and hard to read/see.

Jan, I made 10 copies for the swap. :o)
They are all sitting on a table in my art room looking for an adoptive home!
