Guess You Had To Be There
The Usual
Zines have been a part of my life off and on since 1995. I read a ton of zine anthologies and how-to books then while I was working in a library. I immediately connected to zines as an art form and loved the freedom of expression aspect. Biographical, how-to, and travel writing are my favorite reading materials and many zines fit those slots. Lately, I have been buying zines more often and working on a zine of my own (at long last).
Well, I have actually made one, slim, quarter-sized how-to zine about creating and trading ATCs (artist trading cards) already. It's cute and tiny. As you can tell, when it comes to making zines, I am really just a newbie. My heart is in the right place, though. Spreading the word on zines and zine-making is a favorite pastime for me, and I hope I will be putting out my first perzine (to be entitled "Guess You Had To Be There" ) before the end of this year (or, ha ha, in the spring of next year).

So, one morning a few months ago (I am just getting around to posting this), I had a dream. I wrote down a very short blurb about it that morning.
"We were all majoring in Zines at a university. It was like theatre classes, only for everything to do with zines. There were so many people I knew, because my mind used all the faces from profile photos on We Make Zines to fill in the faces of my fellow dream classmates."
Awesome,… Continue

Lucky Sia replied to Emma Jane Falconer's discussion Best stamps you've ever seen"Wow. Good information. Thanks for letting me know. I will have to see if there is a stamp collector shops anywhere around here. :) So are you saying that even the old fashioned lick 'em stamps should not be steamed? Because of chlorine? or

Lucky Sia replied to Emma Jane Falconer's discussion Best stamps you've ever seen"I liked the stamps shaped like a triangle that the USA had way back in 97-ish. They were made from old stamp engravings from our past and the surface was a bit textured. I wish I had some of those still. I liked how they fit in the corner of the…"
