amaZINE #12 - magic

Hello fellow zine lovers!

Let's spread some amazing zines with this monthly swap series.

In the 12th round of the amaZINE swap you will send a zine made by yourself that has this topic: MAGIC.

The craft: a zine A zine is a tiny hand-made magazine. The original zine is reproduced with a photocopier. (see the swap-bot glossary for more details) In this swap we create an 8-page-zine made out of an A4- or Letter-sized paper sheet. How to fold and cut the zine is explained here: http://mentalbistro.tumblr.com/post/69609655909/8-pg-zine-from-a-single-sheet-of-paper To illustrate the zine you can write, doodle, paint, mix a collage, use stickers, washi, die cuts, photographs and whatelse comes to your mind. Get inspiration online. Postage costs are low, but the effort is high. Create something you would like to receive!

The topic: magic Create a zine about something magical. You can write about your favorite fantasy books and films or what magical superpowers you would like to have. Maybe you prefer a historic or ethnological approach: what people used to explain as magic - or still do. Of course, you can also write about the magical everyday moments that make life special and meaningful to you. So many possibilities!

The swap requirements: You will have three partners and send each partner one copy of your zine by snail mail. You will keep your original. You have two weeks to send the zine. Make sure to add a note with your swap-bot ID and the swap name. I will review each swapper and will ban questionable swappers. Newbies with well filled out profiles are welcome. Rate your partner a 5, if you have received a magic themed swap, no matter, if you like it or not. Try to solve problems together and contact me for help. I will angel, if you have to rate a 1.

Happy swapping!
