Second AVALANCHE!!!!

Straight after the International Alternative Press Festival Round 2 we hooked up a table at the Feminist Zine Fair. 

It was incredibly busy... we got alot of love and appreciation for our handmade books which all of us were well :-D about..

And here is an update of what we've been doing :-)

AVALANCHE!!!!!!!!!!

The last you heard we were preparing for the 2nd International Alternative Press Fair.  It was amazing. Like totally. We made books with http://wemakebooks.co.uk/ we made felt with the amazing Ceri May and we bought LOADS of zines! (well enough for our pockets to allow! ) My favouritest stuff was by awesome Illustrator Jamie Mills: http://www.jamie-mills.com/ His work is beautiful, provocative, delicate and just pure incredible...and cheap...which is the best bit..and the best thing about events like IAPF!

Heres some little things we made... books and felt flowers...

Comica Comiket & Usurp!

Comica Comiket was ridiculously fantastic and busy as usual. It didn't fail to disappoint... especially since our table was right next a gigantic SpartaPuss!!!

Usurp gallery had some delicious tasty food to sample as well as some provocative discussions around the whole culture of DIY publishing and zine making. The conclusion? We should all draw and make and distribute as its as much part of communication of one's personal story as it is about creativity. 

We're here with our zines on Saturday!
