Haiku Cahoots Mini Zine Workshop
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

HAIKU collage making, zine making FUN!!
packed up
The time is upon us.
The 2013 ABQ Zine Fest is in THREE DAYS!!
And so I’m all packed for Zine Fest and my studio is all packed up. Mostly. (do you know that I’m moving in a week and a half? I haven’t talked about it much … but, yeah, my family is moving back home) So I created some little mobile art stations for myself, so I can stay connected to that which soothes my soul.
I am super excited to have my table again this year. And I’m looking forward to using my new table cloth and showing off my new zines.
I’ll post some pictures and I’ll tweet during the day. Hope to see you there! Lemme know if you follow my blog. It’d be cool to meet you.

table cloth in progress
It’ll have a collage effect, once it’s done.
All the stapling of all the zines is done. YAY! It was fun to use my new stapler.
And tonight, I’m working on the table cloth for my (half) table at the upcoming ABQ Zine Fest.
It’ll have a collage effect, once it’s finished. Like my zine pages. Hopefully I can create this sewing project to come out like my vision, like I can with paper and glue.
I’m starting to get REALLY excited about this Zine Fest!!!

copy. fold. collate. staple. repeat.
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:
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.
have you seen my stapler?
I got a new one.
A long-reach stapler.
I’m a REAL ziner now.
25″ reach power-assisted long-reach stapler. Black. With Red accents. 1 Finger Easy Jam Free. Includes ruler & sliding paper guide.
It’s hot.
I’m collating my lil’zine “SPARKS ¡adult! POEMS” for the Dirty Zine Reading this coming Sunday at the Tannex.
I’m gonna go staple now.
Zine of the Apocalypse playlist
well, it’s done.
I have finished the apocalypse.
The Zine of the Apocalypse, inspired by the turning of the b’ak’tun in the Mayan calendar last December. I’ll have full versions available at Zine Fest this year. You can check out the first half here on my blog.
And check out the Playlist for the Apocalypse! I created a YouTube channel for my art stuff.
yep. zine’ing again.
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.
fiddle.
I was at work last night, working. (night nurse) And I while I was in a patient’s room, I thought of one of my stories that would make a FANTASTIC zine!!! And I thought at the time, I should go write that down, so that I can remember it later, when I’m needing inspiration.
And, after I left the room, not only did I forget to write it down, I have also forgotten the story idea.
Fiddle. (or other expletive you wanna put in here)
If it was that great of an idea, it should come back around.
Hopefully.

Happy Lammas!
Today is mid-summer. Truly. We are halfway through summer, celestially speaking. Today(ish) is the cross quarter between summer solstice and autumnal equinox.
I think of it as The Feast of Sunflowers and/or First Harvest. Gardens are overflowing. Hopefully, your life is overflowing with abundance of growth, happiness, contentment, peace, change, permanence, love, and all the beauty that Life has to share with us.
I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine.—Oberon describes Titania’s bower, where she sleeps. Act 2, Scene 1
A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shakespeare
Today, I’m working on finishing my Apocalypse zine. Zine Fest is upon us!!! October 4-6. So I’m trying to finish up my half-done zines for my table there. If all goes as planned – and we all know how that goes – then I’ll have 4 completed full size zines, 1 mid-size zine, and 3 mini-zines. I’m proud of myself.
