Comment: Woops, seems I forgot to rate you, and that's so impolite when I not only loved your April zine, but 'the houses in the village," to. Your green mesh-y envelope was really cool, how did you do it? thanks so much, Penelope!
Response: Hi Chris ... glad you liked the houses in the village. :) The envelope was made using a gelli plate and someloosely woven textured raffia sheet (difficult to describe ... I think it was originally meant to make giant bows on gift baskets).

Comment: Thanks for the great zine - I love that it's so colourful :D. My sis used to make a thing similar to Zebra cake - it involved soaking choc chip cookies in copious amounts of booze before alternating with whipped cream (also laced with booze) then covering the whole thing with more cream
Response: Thanks! Glad you liked it. I went a bit mad with colulring the text and stuff, but I totally fell in love with those three colours while I was making it, and I couldn't stop myself. :)

Comment: Before I even opened up the envelope I noticed the cool deco tape on the back and thought maybe that's what you were going to show me how to do. It was - and your "How to Make D.I.Y Washi Tape" zine is awesome! I love your samples, and the pieces you included for me to use. Who would have ever thought that medical paper tape could have an artsy use? Thanks for making my day a fun mail day!

Comment: I am speechless. BOTH of your zine were fabulous and such and inspiration. They brought me back to a time (before the burnout set in) when I too was passionate about all things printing -- type, the ink, the typesetter -- I even have one of those font strips:) And here are some word pairs for you: hot broccoli, bent treasures and apple dance:)

You gave me hope that I could really make a decent Mini Zine (never as good as yours but better than my first for sure. I reread the defination of a zine and it clicked again, because of you.Excellent job,Nancy

Comment: Wow. I LOVE the little toast book. I love the textured paper that you used. I love your handwriting. I love the poems. I love that you introduced me to a new poet. (By that I mean new to me. I had to look him up just now. He reminds me of Ogden Nash.) I'm counting at least five 'hearts' here. Thank you!
Response: I was a real treat to make. Like I said I've been waiting for the *perfect* place to share the poems and I'm happy they've found a good home. My favourite part is the butter on the front. I think I actually giggled when I thought of that. :)

Comment: Love it! Thanks for including the (as always, beautifully presented) Lord Dunsany story as it's one I haven't read before. I love the view of the magical kingdom through my Wonderful Window - thank you. :)
Response: Thanks Su ... I first heard about Lord Dunsany at a SciFi convention, and I've been hooked ever since - wanting to spread his stories around so more people discover him. For this project, it was either the Wonderful Window or The Hoard of the Gibbelins, but he has so many good stories that it was hard to choose. :)

Comment: Thank you it was interesting to read about the printing industry... actually I am a fast typist too and I sometimes used to work as a clerk. I do not like it when young people laugh at office machines at the Salvation Army! And I can remember using one of those. It makes me feel as if I am from the stone age! :(
Response: Thanks, Anna. I hope to do more in the series ... it seems like I've been working in printing since the stone age! Not true, of course, but it feels that way compared to how fast we work today!

Comment: Got your zines pack today! What a wonderful work, I like every single zine but I must say my favourite is Bunny. I absolutely like the colors and the vintage inside, well everything about this creation. I also enjoyed Qwerty so much. Thank you for everything and I can't wait to swap zines again with you!
Response: Thanks! Bunny was definitely a step in a new direction for me - so glad you liked her. :) Working on future editions for the QWERTY series - I love your stick series so much it spurred me on to create more!

Comment: You are so talented! Another fabulous card and truly one of my favorite face cards in this series and the first one that included writing on the face (of course I am curious what motived these particular words about a "psychohtic break." Not only did you include the faces, you added a few more and those bug eyes are outrageous. . I just love it. thank you very much. And thanks for the extras, too. Happy New Year!
Response: Thanks, Mark. I'm so glad your name came up for this one - even as I was making it, I thought it your name didn't come up I would make you one anyway - since I thought you might like it. And (I assure you) the text was entirely inspired by the look in Jack's eyes and not any personal tragedy. I just thought he looked worried and I wondered what would worry him so much, et voila ~ psychotic break!

I had planned to print on *real* maps, but then I got all controlling about where the birds would fall and I wanted white text boxes, and before I knew it I was deep into designing from scratch. Oh well. Yes - let's do a private swap soon - end of January? I'm in thick of year end reports at the moment. :)

Response: Nope, not digital ... just cut, paste, tear and then colouring pencils on top. The text was stamped on strips of paper then glued in place. Basically the old-fashioned way. I was so worried about messing it up that even though I thought it ought to be a little darker in places, I didn't change anything too much. I thought you'd like the fairy tales mini-zine. :)

The story (as you might guess) was a formative one from my childhood that I've been telling my friends whenever the topic of religion comes up, and it was good to get it down in "writing". As for the format, I wanted to see what would happen if you folded a page the other way to make it long & skinny - and it works! Glad you liked them. :)

Response: Thanks ... the story of Arboria grew out of a few lines I wrote for a nervousness.org ATC project years ago ... I've always wanted to expand on the idea and this gave me the perfect opportunity. I had fun making it. :)

Comment: Very nice APC !! Thanks for the card and the extras:) Love the large card!
Response: You're welcome! - I have to tell you that I dithered over what exactly she was Queen of ... Queen of the Jazz Clubs? Queen of the Night Clubs? Queen of the Blues Clubs? ... and then I realized that "Queen of the Clubs" covered it all - sometimes the simple answer is the best. :)

Comment: Thanks for the beautifully done fairy tales zine, and the securing a husband one made me laugh :)
Response: I sometimes sell the securing a husband zine at zine fairs, and even if someone doesn't buy it - just watching them smile when they read it gives me the warm fuzzies. Glad you like it, too. :)

Comment: Fairy Tales = AWESOME!!!! Love the art, it's soooo cute!!! Also I really like the format you used for the Religion zine, it's super nifty!!! Thanks so much :)
Response: The fairy tale zine was fun to do. Everyone I show it to laughs at it. The size of the religion zine is still a mini-zine - I just folded it the other direction to get long & skinny. I thought it made an interesting twist on the format. Glad you liked it. :) -

Response: Hi Betsy .. I've seen your name pop up in Su's mailings to me and I was hoping you'd turn up as a partner on one of these swaps. Glad you liked the stamps and the story. I had quite a lot of fun with the writing, as you can probably tell. The breakthrough for me on this project was the folder itself, which was made from wallpaper border. I seem to have figured out a new way of making pockets in folded paper signatures (well, new to me anyway). Hope we get to trade again - I'd love to see *your* work. :)

Response: Thanks, Su. Writing the book was fun - I essentially spun the two or three lines from the back of the original ATC all those years ago out into a fully-fledged background story. Thanks for creating a project that made me revisit a much-loved concept and make it bigger. :)

Response: Thanks, Su. I've had lots of practice making little books and I never tire of the process of formatting everything - choosing the right font, the right paper, the right binding - but I was worried that it was too much writing and not enough art. Glad you liked it.

The naked nine of clubs was wonderful, the otherworld money is almost too beautiful to cut up and use, and it was fun to see how many words I could actually spell. All in all, a really fun swap. Thank you.
Response: This was in my favourite colours to work with so I think it's one of the most beautiful I've made so far. I was really pleased with how stenciling the tissue turned out. And I have more of the otherworld money - I'll send you more so you can use some of it up without feeling too bad. :)

Response: Yep. sometimes the simple things are best. whenever I'm done with a project and there are "leftovers", I've gotten into the habit of pulling out my APC binder and doing the next set or two, and the red birds were from a red bird/black bird zine I was doing, and I'd had the numbers out to number the pages, so it just kind of came together.

Comment: Very clever card! I think I mentioned this before about one of your cards, but I love it when people incorporate some aspect of the card (number or suit symbols) into their work! Thanks also for the extras, so thoughtful! :)
Response: Can't guarantee I'll always be able to work in the suit or the number, but when I get an idea that works, I do what I can. :)

Comment: Oh, I love this one! And the timing couldn't be more perfect... I've been feeling very "disgruntled" about the way things are in the US these days (to say nothing of the world in general)... this is a nice reminder that wherever people are willing to work hard, things can get better... thanks so much! :)
Response: I first heard that line about 25 years ago at a folk festival - it was a line of a song by the Oysterband. As it happens ... I saw them play again a few months ago, and the lead singer said that he's often been quoted as coming up with the line, when it fact he read in a poem by a Canadian poet and included it in his song because it moved him so deeply. I know how he feels ... it's been something I've tried to live by in the 25 years since I first heard it. Nothing better to keep me going when things seem to be going badly awry in the world! I'm so glad you liked it. :)

Response: Well ... since we seem to be such a compact group - I think it's inevitable that you'll see more of mine & likewise I'll see more of yours. :)

Comment: I love this card so much! There's something about the colors used and the torn texture, and the quote, that are just sing to me. Thanks bunches!
Response: This card was so much fun to make! From finding the perfect background, to painting and tearing the lines of the quote to fitting it all together. I liked it so much I made one for me, too! Thanks for seeing all the detail - makes it all worth it. :)

Comment: So cute! I love it when people find a way to incorporate the card number into their work. In this case, with the eight petals-- not sure if this was intentional or not, but either way, cool! :) That's also a really unique card, having the number and suit symbol on the right-- I've never seen cards like that before!
Response: The eight petals was TOTALLY intentional - right down to the fact that the eighth petal has already been pulled out to start the "loves me, loves me not" process. Thanks for noticing - it's always a pleasure to do good work for people who appreciate it. :)

Comment: WOW! Those zines are so high quality and just LOVELY!!! Thanks so much!! I love the care and attention that you gave each zine. Thanks for TWO!
Response: I just LOVE making little books, and I find it's so much easier to stitch them rather than try to line up the stapler. I sent two 'cause they're so petite. :)

Comment: Thank you for teh lovely zines! Your joined up writing is quite cool, and I adore useless knowledge!
Response: Joined up writing is something I'd been playing with in my journal & the useless knowledge comes from a series of diagrams in a 1928 first aid book. :)

Comment: I love they way you bound your mini zines. They are so cute. I cracked up about the secure husband one and the other one was nicely made and very interesting. I haven't seen joined up writing before. Thanks! ♥
