Sardines - Due December 1, 2026

[Miss Kitten Heart]

Malin, how long have you been making zines? I've been wanting to make them. It's so neat to make them in felt. I love working with felt!

I made my first zine in 2010, and then I didn't make any for years, I forgot all about them. I started making mini zines 3-4 years ago, and I'm super hooked! If you ever want to try to make mini zines, I have a bunch to trade if you want to! I hadn't planned to make more felt mini zines, it's so much work, but for you I could change my mind!

Yes it is a paper tab (orange piece), just glued on the base side (green part).

That is so helpful, thank you. I'll see what I'm can do adjust so I have a tab but don't cover up the art. I should have planned ahead better.

It sounds like a ton of work. If we trade zines it doesn't need to be felt; I already love what you do with paint more than just about anything. I miss our Christmas trades.

It is a ton of work! When I do mini zines, I do an original mastercopy, and then make copies from that so I can trade, but we could also do originals if you want! Me too, I also miss them!

Hi! I'm new here. I've been lurking on the sit a bit and saw this swap while I was in Sardinia. Seemed like fate, so I created a set of hd/hp cards in watercolor. I live on a sailboat and the cards were created in the middle of the Tyrhinian Sea, between Sardinia and Sicily. I'll mail them in the next few days so they have a chance of getting to the US from Italy in time. TLDR: sign me up!

Lurking...

when my son was little he told his sunday school teacher that he had a secret
she was all ears
i think she thought she might get some interesting gossip
he told her
"when we get home, i can have as many sardines as i want"
true story
and he still loves sardines
