Hey-- could you direct us to the flickr album for a little more insight? I'm intregued, but also a little hesitant, because I love crafting, but I've never put together a zine before... Also, I've got 5 vacation days coming up, where I have no plans other than to walk my dog, and huddle inside doing crafts and watching movies: is it okay to do the 7 days ahead of time, or do they have to be the days allotted?

Sorry this took so long: It's ok to do this ahead of time. Can't find the flickr page I found it on, but here's a site to make mini-zines:

you can use your own style: hand made, printed, copied, etc

Hi again, What does this mean: "a sample of each used in a project / project" ? Thanks!

RBM3579 02/18/2011 #

a sample of your 7 techniques and/or crafts used in your project or is your project. For example, if you do heat embossing on a card then the heat embossing would count as something you''ve tried. If yuo knit a doll then that item is the "project" that you have tried - hope this is clear. plz let me know

So we don't actually have to send them sample to our partners? It just has to be something we've made before?

RBM3579 03/ 1/2011 #

flutterflies22: you must send you partner a sample. Here is an example for everyone:

I am sending:

1 - a mini-zine with colored pictures and a brief description of everything I am sending

2 - item craf t/ technique tried

mini card / sewn on technique

charms / paperclay

embellishment / wire and bead

inchies / popcorn/paint pen

embellishment / paper layers with foam tape

mini card / recycled papers

"scrapbook" paper / homemade bkgrds

7 crafts, 7 techniques used in 7 days . . . I hope this helps.

whats a zine?

RBM3579 03/ 5/2011 #

ange02020: mini zine is a mini homemade magazine.

Yikes I wish I'd read your response earlier-- I'm going to have to rethink the crafts I'd planned on featuring in my zine. I'd made tutorials for things like slippers, and other big projects, which each take about 5-10 hours... and of which I'd only made one... I was going to print my photos when I went into Seoul tonight (I don't have a colour printer, and I live out in the country). I don't think I'll get into Seoul again before the 14th, so I'll probably have to send my zines on the 15th (which is actually the 14th in North America)
