So with uni officially finished I now how four
month's in which to work, sleep and..... do nothing.
GREAT!?
No, no not really not at all, it's third day in and
all ready I’m biting at the bit. Yesterday we went down to the public library
that has quite a large (in my opinion) Zine
collection. I have noticed these before and had a brief flick though but I've
never taken much notice until now. I've found that I'm one of those people that
hate's not having anything to do, I feel fat, lazy and ignorant when I sit
about browsing the web for the millionth time. Not that I don't love it, but
ooooh I get frustrated sitting down with no aim. So I have decided to create my
own Zine, there's a chance it won't follow the traditional format with lots of
hand-rendered content because I love the crisp, clean feel of a magazine. But
it will be a random assortment of photo's, art, fashion, stories, love and what
ever else pour's out of my head and onto the screen/ page.
I've done a few draft pages’ pages already and due
to printing costs the whole lot will be black and white. I'm thinking standard
envelope size so longish and not very wide. But I'll have it all worked out
soon enough. I hope to have the Zine finished by the time I leave for New York,
that way I can scatter a few around when I get there, and a few around
Wellington and in all the in-between place's. I'm so excited now, that I can
hardly wait.
The Zine will be called Lace Knickers, because in a way it'll be an extension
of my blog, and who knows if there's enough interest I might make it a quarterly
affair, but I must calm down and stay on track. Here's a few picture's of my draft page's. But they'll most likely change with time.
Anyway, lots to do!
Lots of Love
