Comment: Woops, seems I forgot to rate you, and that's so impolite when I not only loved your April zine, but 'the houses in the village," to. Your green mesh-y envelope was really cool, how did you do it? thanks so much, Penelope!
Response: Hi Chris ... glad you liked the houses in the village. :) The envelope was made using a gelli plate and someloosely woven textured raffia sheet (difficult to describe ... I think it was originally meant to make giant bows on gift baskets).

Comment: Thanks for the great zine - I love that it's so colourful :D. My sis used to make a thing similar to Zebra cake - it involved soaking choc chip cookies in copious amounts of booze before alternating with whipped cream (also laced with booze) then covering the whole thing with more cream
Response: Thanks! Glad you liked it. I went a bit mad with colulring the text and stuff, but I totally fell in love with those three colours while I was making it, and I couldn't stop myself. :)

Comment: Before I even opened up the envelope I noticed the cool deco tape on the back and thought maybe that's what you were going to show me how to do. It was - and your "How to Make D.I.Y Washi Tape" zine is awesome! I love your samples, and the pieces you included for me to use. Who would have ever thought that medical paper tape could have an artsy use? Thanks for making my day a fun mail day!

Comment: I am speechless. BOTH of your zine were fabulous and such and inspiration. They brought me back to a time (before the burnout set in) when I too was passionate about all things printing -- type, the ink, the typesetter -- I even have one of those font strips:) And here are some word pairs for you: hot broccoli, bent treasures and apple dance:)

You gave me hope that I could really make a decent Mini Zine (never as good as yours but better than my first for sure. I reread the defination of a zine and it clicked again, because of you.Excellent job,Nancy
Response: Hi Nancy, glad you liked it. It's the first time I've used my handwriting like this - I've been very very inspired by MissPickle, and lucky enough to get several of her minizines in this ongoing swap series.

Comment: Wow. I LOVE the little toast book. I love the textured paper that you used. I love your handwriting. I love the poems. I love that you introduced me to a new poet. (By that I mean new to me. I had to look him up just now. He reminds me of Ogden Nash.) I'm counting at least five 'hearts' here. Thank you!
Response: I was a real treat to make. Like I said I've been waiting for the *perfect* place to share the poems and I'm happy they've found a good home. My favourite part is the butter on the front. I think I actually giggled when I thought of that. :)

Comment: Love it! Thanks for including the (as always, beautifully presented) Lord Dunsany story as it's one I haven't read before. I love the view of the magical kingdom through my Wonderful Window - thank you. :)
Response: Thanks Su ... I first heard about Lord Dunsany at a SciFi convention, and I've been hooked ever since - wanting to spread his stories around so more people discover him. For this project, it was either the Wonderful Window or The Hoard of the Gibbelins, but he has so many good stories that it was hard to choose. :)

Comment: Thank you it was interesting to read about the printing industry... actually I am a fast typist too and I sometimes used to work as a clerk. I do not like it when young people laugh at office machines at the Salvation Army! And I can remember using one of those. It makes me feel as if I am from the stone age! :(
Response: Thanks, Anna. I hope to do more in the series ... it seems like I've been working in printing since the stone age! Not true, of course, but it feels that way compared to how fast we work today!

Comment: You are so talented! Another fabulous card and truly one of my favorite face cards in this series and the first one that included writing on the face (of course I am curious what motived these particular words about a "psychohtic break." Not only did you include the faces, you added a few more and those bug eyes are outrageous. . I just love it. thank you very much. And thanks for the extras, too. Happy New Year!
Response: Thanks, Mark. I'm so glad your name came up for this one - even as I was making it, I thought it your name didn't come up I would make you one anyway - since I thought you might like it. And (I assure you) the text was entirely inspired by the look in Jack's eyes and not any personal tragedy. I just thought he looked worried and I wondered what would worry him so much, et voila ~ psychotic break!

Oh well. Yes - let's do a private swap soon - end of January? I'm in thick of year end reports at the moment. :)

Response: Nope, not digital ... just cut, paste, tear and then colouring pencils on top. The text was stamped on strips of paper then glued in place. Basically the old-fashioned way. I was so worried about messing it up that even though I thought it ought to be a little darker in places, I didn't change anything too much. I thought you'd like the fairy tales mini-zine. :)

I've used those yellow and red Asian circles in a few swaps already, great background. Also love your stamp, the one with the eye and growing things (?) and am curious where you got it. Thanks.
Response: Hi Mark ... glad you liked the 7 - I felt I wanted to make it different ... enjoy the shape of it. :) The stamp is from Teesha Moore. She and her husband make rubber stamps from images they draw/collage in their journals. I love their stamps and their prices are very very reasonable. I highly recommend them!

Response: Thanks Amy! The story (as you might guess) was a formative one from my childhood that I've been telling my friends whenever the topic of religion comes up, and it was good to get it down in "writing". As for the format, I wanted to see what would happen if you folded a page the other way to make it long & skinny - and it works! Glad you liked them. :)

Comment: Great card, very creative, It makes me want to try using tissue paper. I even like that the fish at the bottom have printing behind it the image. And thanks for all of the extras. The naked nine of clubs was wonderful, the otherworld money is almost too beautiful to cut up and use, and it was fun to see how many words I could actually spell. All in all, a really fun swap. Thank you.
Response: This was in my favourite colours to work with so I think it's one of the most beautiful I've made so far. I was really pleased with how stenciling the tissue turned out. And I have more of the otherworld money - I'll send you more so you can use some of it up without feeling too bad. :)

Comment: This is a great card, very original, the numbers have a very zen like quality to them. And thanks for all of the extras, espeically the book pages. There are so many ways to use vintage pages. Thannks for everything!
Response: Yep. sometimes the simple things are best. whenever I'm done with a project and there are "leftovers", I've gotten into the habit of pulling out my APC binder and doing the next set or two, and the red birds were from a red bird/black bird zine I was doing, and I'd had the numbers out to number the pages, so it just kind of came together. Glad you liked it, it's one of my favourites I've made so far.

Comment: Very clever and colorful card!
Response: It was fun to create. As you probably guessed, the book "spines" are actually bolts of fabric. The postcard is from one of our local fabric stores where you can go rent out sewing machines and tables, and their fabric collection is so wonderful - very retro and fun. Everytime I go there, they put a postcard in with my purchases - so I was glad to send it on ... with alterations, of course. :)

Response: Glad you liked it, Sam. I've been trying to think of clever ways to include the number somehow in the design. The yellow circles with red printing come from a shop near where my ATC group meets called The Buddha Shop. Not sure what it's purpose it, I'll have to ask next time I go in there. Pretty stuff, hm? I've sent you a few more sheets with your next card. :)

Loved reading about your wonderful literary headboard--I'm astonishingly jealous--and the design is absolutely divine. How could you ever question the handmade factor (even without the lovely hand carving? You deserve a dozen hearts for this beautiful work. Volumes of gratitude to you and thank you for the etiquettes!

Comment: So Cool! I just loved everthing about your piece. From the detail on the outside of the box, the peek into your bookshelf as well as the presentation of your little mini book/bed, I just loved it all! I also appreciated the little profile surprises that were tucked under your bed. Thank you for putting together such a thoughtful quality piece. I think you should consider submission to Art-o-mat!
Response: Thanks, Rhea! It was a fun project to do and set me off on a whole series of "paper engineering" ideas. I love that there was room "under the bed" for a few little treats for you. :) I don't know about submitting it to Art-o-mat - it was pretty labour intensive. Although I suppose eventually I'd get "fast" at them!

Comment: Oh, I love this one! And the timing couldn't be more perfect... I've been feeling very "disgruntled" about the way things are in the US these days (to say nothing of the world in general)... this is a nice reminder that wherever people are willing to work hard, things can get better... thanks so much! :)
Response: I first heard that line about 25 years ago at a folk festival - it was a line of a song by the Oysterband. As it happens ... I saw them play again a few months ago, and the lead singer said that he's often been quoted as coming up with the line, when it fact he read in a poem by a Canadian poet and included it in his song because it moved him so deeply. I know how he feels ... it's been something I've tried to live by in the 25 years since I first heard it. Nothing better to keep me going when things seem to be going badly awry in the world! I'm so glad you liked it. :)

Comment: So cute! I love it when people find a way to incorporate the card number into their work. In this case, with the eight petals-- not sure if this was intentional or not, but either way, cool! :) That's also a really unique card, having the number and suit symbol on the right-- I've never seen cards like that before!
Response: The eight petals was TOTALLY intentional - right down to the fact that the eighth petal has already been pulled out to start the "loves me, loves me not" process. Thanks for noticing - it's always a pleasure to do good work for people who appreciate it. :)
