Gifting It Up

Like I said in an earlier post, Meryl, Martin, and I are doing hand made or personal gifts this year. Here are some of the things I've done. Nothing special but it's been fun so far.

Packaging: Front

Packaging: Back with initials

The Collector's Edition Zine

I published a zine about a month ago. The theme I decided to go with was "The Collector's Edition". I really enjoyed it, I got to go around and interview various collectors and photograph them as well as their collections. 

I also got to meet Angie Durrant Batis, who runs my favourite blog (Lucky Pony). Angie was great and even featured my zine on her blog here.

After I got my zine back from the printers I had to bind it. I decided to go with a combination of book binding and japanese binding. I tried three different colours and in the end I handed in the zine with green binding.
