Description:

What are you good at? Do you make something, sell something, bake something, cook something, design something? Have you traveled to a particular place a lot and could you show someone around? Make a travel guide. Are you an expert at cake decorating? Can you speak another language fluently? make a mini language book with pronunciations. Do you eat out a lot? Make a restaurant guide. Are you good at watercolor, reupholstering chairs, decoupage, knitting socks, building things, painting, stamp-carving, making pie crust, sewing or hand-lettering? Then make a mini info-zine!!

For this swap, we will make 1 mini info-zine for each of 2 partners. Explain the basic how-to's of your specialty with as much detail as possible, including pictures (printed or hand-drawn), websites for further info, whatever other things needed to "teach" your partner. Fill it up & make it fun! Use colors! Make it interesting so that your partner will want to try it too. Even if you don't have a "specialty", you can still make a zine. Find out everything you can about a subject/hobby/place and create a "how-to" zine.

Your zine should have no fewer than 12 pages, using front & back, like this one.

Here are some other zine-making links.

~2 zines sent; 2 different ones received~

~must contain pictures, drawings or diagrams~

~must have 12 pages front & back~

Plenty of time to sign up & just over a week to send. Shouldn't be a problem since its about what you know & you can make the zines anytime. Usual group rules apply. I'll check profiles before assigning, but I'm not worried about a group run by @TangleCrafts
