Grass & Stars my first zine

I’m so excited. I finished my first zine for the swap I’ve mentioned before. It came out better than I could have ever imagined.

The idea of the title came to and suited me perfectly, I go into a bit in the zine. It’s printed on gloss text, is only 1.875″ x 1.25″, and includes a 5 panel comic, a second in my “how to…” series.

It’s funny that taking on such a small sized zine, I thought it would be very quick and easy. Wrong. I had so many ideas that it was almost impossible to compress it down to a book small enough to fit into a matchbox. Still, it turned out great. I hope that this is just the first issue of many more to come. I am so excited about it, I made a handful more to offer in my shop. Please check out the listing for it here.

Wowzers! My email inbox is about to essplode! The May Giveaway Day post is taking off. I have more than 100 entries to win one of the two Recycled Envelope and Stationery Sets from my etsy shop.

  2. This is awesome. I love how tiny it is. When I was younger, I made a spy kit that fit into a matchbox. It was the coolest thing EVER.
