Alternative Press Spring Fair June 1st 2013!

Hey guys,

So we totally love the Alternative Press Fair, its where we (Sofia and Sabba) first got introduced to self publishing, and where we met all the amazing supportive, talented people that made it awesome for us. So each year, we continually support the community of the Alternative Press, and actively work towards it in our own creations. We'll be selling some exciting new things and some of the established classics too. So please come along and support self publishing, book art and craft fairs in London.

You can find more information on Alternative Press on their website, http://alternativepress.org.uk/

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..

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...
