Hallo!
I am a zine maker (amongst other things...) currently recently based in York, now in Macclesfield, sometimes in Cyprus! I first started making zines last year, collaboratively with fellow ^Happycat^ Collective member Jade Blood. Since then we have both continued making zines individually, and we sell them at arts/crafts/book fairs.
I am also a postal artist (see my current postal art project at magpiethunder.wordpress.com >in progress< ), so if anyone would like to set up some sort of correspondence, send me a message and we can get some postal/zine exchange happening!
I like creatures of an ornithological persuasion, the colour green, brown paper, printmaking, treehouses, stationery, stamps, typewriters, black tape, lists, books, everything handmade, batwings and wingbacks. And of course zines.

Group for the traveling zine box, in which zinesters pass a box of zines along, taking what they want from it and replacing the taken zines with the same number from their collection. Then off to the next person!
Promoting zines by offering a portion of your issues for free, this includes leaving zines in public places to be found or donating your work to a zine library.

Art Swap
In other swapping news, fellow ^Happycat^ member Jade Blood is hosting a general (-not just zines-) swap for her exhibition in May. If you would like to swap some art for art, have a look at her blog for more info.
