BC: Weather Mini-zine

I had never made a zine until I joined Swap-bot! I've only made about half a dozen different ones so far but am really enjoying it.

A zine is a small self-published book. Originally they were created by hand and then photocopied, but increasingly people are using computer printers. Mini-zines are usually 8 pages and made out of a single sheet of paper. Zines are usually produced in editions of less than 100. They can be sold but are more often swapped or given away.

For this swap, make an 8 page zine out of a single sheet of paper -- A4 or 8"x11", depending where you are.

The subject of the zine has to be something to do with weather. It could be about rain, about hail, about sunshine ..... You can use words, pictures, quotations, poems, photos -- whatever you like.

You'll get the best results if you are careful when doing the folding and cutting. Precision folding means your book will line up better.
