I love this magazine my daughter Lucie has made called Waterfalls of Watermelons. What a crazy name for a magazine and what a fabulously adorned cover it has! I don't mind Taylor Swift, either (believe it or not). If anyone out there has ever made their own magazine, send me a pic of your cover - Lucie and I would love to see what other kids are creating in the way of 'Zines'. If you are not sure what a 'zine' is, it is a handmade publication (like a magazine), which has been put together using collage, cut-and-paste writing and other bits and pieces to decorate it; and then you have the option of photocopying it and distributing to people who might be interested in reading your stuff. There's a great place in Melbourne (in the subway at Flinders St), where you can create your own zine on the spot. Their website is:
www.stickyinstitute.com.au
Check it out. But of course there is nothing stopping you from making your own zine at home and then photocopying it at school. You could even start charging money for your zine if it becomes popular and people like your stuff!
Here's a pic of L's zine, which is made from pics of some of her favourite singers, pieces of fabric and paper from other mags:
Thanks for the link share - it sounds great and will definitely check it out :)
ReplyDeleteJust popped in to say that my daughter made another project from your book. Hooray! Here's the link, if you'd like to take a peek:

Love that Bella has adapted the Pony Friend and made it her own. xx
