The Storm In My Tea Cup

The zine is finished and was launched this weekend! I'm really happy with it. It’s called 'the storm in my tea cup' and it contains 10 poems plus illustrations. its full colour with a delightful cardboard cover and lovely paper. I've only created 35 and after the weekend i only have 20 left! So with the upcoming Kino Zine Fair on the 28th of June, it looks like they won't be around all that long. I've included a picture of the cover and three of the ten poems for you:


Yesterday I spent the day at the MCA (Museum of Contemporary Arts) in Sydney doing the Zine Fair. It was so busy, only during the last two hours could I begin to think about checking out the rest of the fair and viewing some zines for myself. I found two I liked. One is called 'This Is You' its by Ebony Willder (ebonyempire@hotmail.com.au), the other is 'Settling Scores On A See-Saw' by Lee Tran Lam http://settlingscores.blogspot.com/ if you want to check them out. I sold some original works too including my favourite...it was very hard to let her go but I do hope she finds her new home to be cosy and bright.
I was also very excited because my new girls have arrived, printed on beautiful greeting cards. I spent Saturday wrapping them and watching them journey out into the world on Sunday. They are now also available online, here a quick shot of them all:

Some of them will also be available as prints soon as well.

Thats all for now really - I've been sick all weekend with a cold so I'm planning on rugging up for the rest of the day and getting myself better.
