zineszineszines

Ever since I purchased the
amazing zine 'I heart the Arctic' by Jackie Bos
(known as Jackie Peppermint on Etsy),
I am in LOVE with handmade zines!



The mini book is so cute
and really pretty,
both the illustrations as the different kind of paper,
I look at it over and over again...

Yesterday evening,
I decided it was time for a new
lovely and creative zine.
These are my Etsy finds!

Another lovely one
by Jackie Bos.



And isn't this one fantastic?
It's actually both a zine and a journal!







This one (above and below)
is my new favorite!
It's full of polaroids
she made during 30 days in 2009.



I remember
when I was a child
I used to make my own zines all the time.
I thought they were amazing!
But nowadays,
when this annoying insecurity is showing up
all the time,
nothing is ever good enough.

(But I still want to make
my own zine.
Some day.)

NOTES:.

1} Please remember there are only two days left,
to join the lovely Give Away from Amelioratic,
this beautiful new Etsy shop!)

2} I wanted to say sorry about
my lack of comments on other blogs lately.
There are so many excuses, but I want you to know
I still LOVE every single comment of you
on this blog and it touches
my heart
deeply
that many of you still like my blog
and take the time to comment.
(Oh, my best excuse is actually
that I am embroidering a lot lately!)
