amaZINE extra - winter 2018

As there's @ChristieAnn566 's regional Winter Zine swap, I offer a winter themed zine swap for the international crowd. I make it part of my monthly amaZINE series, but with the swap requirements of the original Winter Zine (i.e. no rating filter, 4 weeks to send; but only 3 partners instead of the original 4).

In the ninth round of the amaZINE swap you will send a zine made by yourself that has this topic: WINTER ZINE.

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: winter Create a zine about winter: what you love or hate about it, what activities you can do, which events take place, add fun facts or interpret it the way you want. The winter theme includes holidays, too - so those swappers who do not want to receive anything holiday- or religious-themed rather skip this round.

The swap requirements: You will have three partners and send each partner one copy of your zine. You will keep your original. You have four 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 winter 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.

Any questions? Feel free to post in the comment section.

Happy swapping!
