SMA-Round Robin Zine #3

This swap is for the 6 of us who have signed up on the forum thread-Mandy, Angie, Shannon, Jenny, Karen, and Carroll. Once we are all signed up we'll do all of the keeping track on that thread.

We will each make a booklet by folding 3 pieces of 8 1/2 X 11" (A4 will work for our international friends) pieces of either 110 lb. cardstock or 90 lb. watercolor paper and sewing it down the middle (by hand or machine). It could also be stapled if you absolutely couldn't sew. Just make sure that the pages fold over neatly.

Holding the booklet closed you will treat it as a fat postcard and do a journal page, collage, or painting on one side and use the other for the address, note and stamps. Apply stickers or small pieces of packing tape to the three open sides for mailing. If you would like people to stick to a theme, please put that in your first note to the partner you send to.

When you get the first mailart zine in the mail, cut open the tape, fold over a page and again treat the booklet as a fat postcard. Try to complete your page and move it along to your partner as soon as possible~~at least within two weeks. It would also be great if you would photograph or scan your work and post it on Flickr.

We will all work in each booklet eventually. At the end of the process we will each have our own round robin mailart zine that has traveled far and wide!

By setting it up as a swap as well as a thread we get to rate each other at the end.
