Hey girls. I was thinking about putting together a crafting Zine and I am looking for some submissions. I'd like to do the following things with my Zine:
1. Connect crafters with places to sell their work 2. Connect crafters with others who enjoy thier craft 3. Give tutorials about different crafts 4. Give Household tips 5. gardening tips 6. Book reviews 7. Product reviews 8. ETC....
I plan to do a bi-monthly thing with my first issue coming out in march. My first issue will be Availabe in a DIGITAL copy only (word document) and will be free to anyone on this site. My Second issue (MAY) will be available through my etsy site in either a digital file or a print version for a small fee to cover copies and time spent.
My first issue topic will be "NEW BEGINNINGS" and I am looking for stuff about how you got started crafting/gardening/farming etc., how you came about starting your own business etc. If you would like to submit any projects for this issue lets try to stick to some stuff that would be easy for a "beginner".
If you are interested you can post here or you can email me directily.
I need help with the name of my Zine! If I choose your name I will send you a PRIZE!!!!
Jewelry, art, baskets, etc.

Eren - I would LOVE to have you contribute. I am still working out the logistics and probably wont take any submisssions for the first issue but maube after you see it you will have a better idea of what I am looking for. So far I have an animals section, a gardening section, a homekeeping section and a craft section.
ALSO I need suggestions for a name. I am looking for something that says crafty, creative, farmgirl, DIY etc all in one. I am stumped so Ideas would be great!

I'm still a new girl, but i'd love to be a contributor... "FARM FRESH IDEAS notions & potions for the enterprising farm girl in you". That's my idea for the name. Best of luck!

That is really cute! I am also trying to appeal to a Crafty crowd too though! Your idea would make a fantastic subtitle though!

LOL I meant to say FARM FRESH CREATIONS. (that's for the crafty people) My thesaurus says notions is another word for idea, potions is another word for mixture (like reciepes and patterns, etc.). enterprising in my thesaurus stands for projects, business, venture, undertaking. I tried to cover all the things that you mentioned you wanted to cover. It a tough one because they are so diverse! LOL At any rate, I tried to include the crafty side with creations. Sorry I didn't change that before I posted my first idea!

I am really excited to see your magazine. I'd love to write for you. It could be about quilting, cooking or just how we learned to live closer to the land and ourselves when we were dealt with a serious life issue.
I'll keep in touch to see what you need.

I am pluggin along. The set up and formatting is quite a prroject. Once that gets done the second issue should come more easily. I am hoping to be done around March 1 bt I also have a lot of other stuff going on. I'm still looking for a name! Any suggestions? Might be a PRIZE if I choose the name you suggest!

Here are a couple of ideas I came up with. 1. The Heartfelt Harvest... (or maybe Harvest of the Heart); 2. Farmgirl Gleanings; 3. The Art & Craft of Living; and my favorite 4. Hearth & Hand...."creative ways to feed (nourish) body and soul". Maybe I can think again tomorrow....it's bedtime here so the brain is lagging a bit. Nance |

I usually come up with a million ideas for things, but I am having a hard time!!
