Haiku Cahoots Mini Zine Workshop

Standard

I’m facilitating a workshop this year at the 2013 ABQ Zine Fest: Haiku Cahoots Mini Zine Workshop

Collaborate with other zine-sters. Share images and words to create a one page mini-zine. Come with an open mind and leave with a copy of the mini poetry zine that we create. All supplies provided. But you can bring some of your own to share, if you want. Facilitated by PamDragonfly, creator of TheZINEsaurus.

Sunday, October 6

time to be announced

The Tannex – 1417 4th Street SW – Albuquerque, NM – 87102

HAIKU collage making, zine making FUN!!

copy. fold. collate. staple. repeat.

Standard

All my zines for the upcoming 2013 ABQ Zine Fest are completed. Whoo-hoo!

Well, at least the creative part.  Now comes the production part.  The copy.fold.collate.staple.repeat. part.  This part is kind of tedious.  It will be made exciting by my new stapler.  And by the pride I feel in having THREE full NEW zines this year, plus THREE full NEW mini-zines. EXCITING!!!

Here’s repertoire of the new ones:

II.II. Zine of the Apocalypse – a full size zine featuring my thoughts around time and humanity, inspired by the turn of the Mayan calendar

II.III.S. Spring-ing, Sprang, Sprung – a mini-zine with a poem and images (the “S” in the numbering system connotes a sporule)

II.IV. Depression – a full size zine with my story of my chronic depression and how art keeps my balanced

II.V. Road Trip – a full size zine about a glorious road trip this summer with my husband; tons of cool photos

II.VI.S. Ornamental Patterns of Feminine Hygiene – a mini-zine with commentary on womanhood

II.VII.S. Haiskoo 9’13 – a mini-zine of poems with scooter ride inspirations

And I’ll have a (small)(few) copies of my two previous zines:

I.I. Crows, Choices, and Love

II.I. Spiders, Fear, and A Sense of Home

Hopefully you can come out and check out my zines! Saturday, October 5, at the Tannex, 1417 4th Street SW, Albuquerque. A FREE event open to all general public.

I *LOVE* having free time to zine and play with my stamps and scissors and glue and stuff.

Tonight I’m working on the covers for an off-shoot – a spore, if you will – of TheZINEsaurus … SPARKS, a pART of my FOUR MOONS STUDIO …

I’ve compiled a couple of adult poems I’ve written and some images to go with them. I’ll be reading them at the Dirty Zine Reading in September. There will be some copies for purchase there that night and at the 2013 ABQ Zine Fest. If you can’t make it to Albuquerque for either of these events, and you want a copy of the zine, message me and we’ll exchange PayPal and addresses.  And, eventually, I’ll have an etsy store for my FOUR MOONS STUDIO, and you’ll be able to order copies of my zine there.

Aside

Mark your calendars. This fall, October 5 – 6, Third Annual ABQ Zine Fest!!

TheZINEsaurus has signed up to table. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More details to come.

And in other news, I have been working on a zine from my road trip earlier this month. And, in a sort of way, I’ve been working on my depression zine by not being as depressed as earlier this year, which has dampened my spirits – so to speak – about writing about my depression.

This is the “sporadically” part, folks.

And there are still plans to make/publish the adult poem for masturbation month. May is masturbation month. When it posts, it’ll have this symbol

(‘)

to let you know it’s adult oriented.

ZINE FEST!

passion fueled

the GRAND OPENING of The Tannex, home of the Albuquerque Zine Library was AWESOME!! did you see some of the pix? I posted ’em on my Facebook page …  The whole thing was very inspirational and fun and hip and fueled my passion for art and writing and makin’ my zine.

so in March (and maybe some of February; I forgot when I started), I’ve been working on the next long edition of TheZINEsaurus: II.IV. on depression   [… see humorous post on the loss of my limbic system …] and I’m hoping to have it finished by the end of April. I updated the time count down widget thing on the right —>

And I have a one page-r poem-art-thing that I will release on May 1 for Masturbation Month that will be for adults only. Honesty expected. No special log in required.

so I’ll keep you posted about zine stuff and randomness in my word world …

hopefully the spring winds are fueling your passions as well!
