spring solstice and gwg anniversary!
Happy Spring Solstice everyone! Happy one year Anniversary Grow Write Guild! I’m spending the solstice starting seeds and roller skating. Even though there’s still snow on the ground I won’t let that hold me back from celebrating the lengthening days and nearly approaching warmer weather. How are you celebrating? It’s been a busy year and I’m […]
’90s Ladies of Inspiration
I‘ve included a few spreads from the most recent zine, ’90s Ladies of Inspiration: Television (The Obsesser #7). It’s a short quarter size zine with full color cover and end sheets and a three hole coptic binding. This is a brief selection, I’d like to add more in the future. The characters included are Angela […]
Ideas for next project: 90’s Ladies – TV
For the next issue I’ll be going back to my idea of 90’s Ladies of Inspiration. I’ve been thinking about doing something like this for almost a year but now the timing seems right. I’ve always been an avid television viewer and it was influential to me as a teenager growing up in the 90’s. […]
31 Postcards
I finished The Obsesser #6.5 – 31 Postcards – right before the Milwaukee Zine Fest. The story prompt was Messages from the Margin. We had been discussing zine culture a lot (especially in the 90’s) because of the Notes From Underground reading. In the book the author talked about trades and penpal-like letter exchanges, or […]
Edith Knows Her Apples
I wrote this almost a month ago but saved it as a draft accidentally instead of posting it. I still need to write one for 31 Postcards (The Obsesser #6.5). That was printed before zine fest last week but the project is still finishing up. I’m currently working on #7, which is the cassette piece […]
found text bits: cassette reading
These are pieces I tried to pull together from reading the cassette (found) text after it was written out on the tape. I think this is sort of what some readers would string together when reading, though each person/read would be different. I am currently leaving it untitled because I would like first time readers […]
botanical endeavors
Today I finished another zine – Botanical Endeavors. It includes 12 short pieces of fiction and creative non-fiction on the topic of gardening and related plant based interests (as I wrote about in a few previous posts). I think it turned out pretty well and I’m very pleased with the cover, which is definitely one […]
1. caroline and 4. flies
Caroline arranged them so perfectly. She had attended school for it. It was a lost art in a way, a craft that people didn’t really think about these days. She had hoped to own a boutique at some point but for now she took shifts at the grocery store. She would never receive them herself, […]
