Doll house Zine

For this zine, you will create a “doll house”. The front page will be the front of the house, the back page the back of the house and the pages in between will be the rooms of the house. Make it a dream home with all of the wonderful things every doll dreams of. Give it chandaleirs, fire place, fancy cakes in the kitchen. It can be two stories or one level, your choice. This zine is to be hand drawn or painted in full color. Don’t be afraid to try something new! If you don’t make mistakes…how will you grow?! I am giving this swap plenty of time so it can be done beautifully! You will have three partners. When you are done making your zine, color copy it and send one to each of your partners. You do not have to send a doll with this but what fun if you did! (paper dolls make the most sense.) Here is where I got my inspiration. This is NOT a zine but kind of looks like one. Hope you have fun with this! https://www.pinterest.com/pin/183240278566638280/

Now for all of the dirty details; one color copied zine to three different partners. 4.9 rating or higher. No threes or ones in the last six months. I reserve the right to ban anyone who even looks like they have swapping issues!

Hello, This looks a great swap, but I've never made a zine before. Can I ask what the HD/HP means and if it's one of those zines folded from one sheet of paper? Thanks!

samjowers 01/30/2016 #

definately! it is one of those zines folded from one sheet of paper and there are great tutorials to show how to do them. HD/HP means hand drawn/hand painted. dont let that scare you. Im a firm believer that if you dont try, you never know how well you can do and you never get better! no one is going to judge. Im a teacher. I draw it in pencil first. then sharpie it. then i use the cheap watercolor pencils to color it. then i use a wet brush to blend it. this should be "fun art" not "Fine art!". have fun with this! hope you will sign up! I googled doll house rooms to see what was in them and just drew pictures from that.

Awesome! This combines my two favorite craft interests: minizines and doll houses. I'm currently fixing up an old doll house :)

shrink it down small enough and you could make it into a magazine for your doll house! Pow! lol of course, I want mine to be the normal size....:)

This is a REALLY cute idea! I love it! Please let me know if you ever do any other kind of zine swaps as well! I just did a private zine swap and had SO much fun! LOVE finding new people to swap zines with! XOXO Love, Chantal :0)

I know. I just discovered zines and now have three books full of them. (I make pocket books that hold twelve zines. they are really cute. you can see them on my flickr.)
