Description:

It is so easy to fall into a sort of rut in creating. You find a niche and you just kinda... sit in it because it's comfy and easy and all the supplies you need for that sort of thing are right out on your desktop since you never put them away.

Well, fuck that rut.

For this swap identify something creative you have been wanting to try, something out of your comfort zone, something different and do it.

Do you wish you made more zines with drawings in them? Make one.
Wish you did more creative writing? Write something.
Wish you tried mixed media? Try it.
Wish you could get back in to photography? charge your damn camera and get out there.
Any creative endeavor you have been putting off doing more of- DO IT.

You can send a zine, a series of photographs you took (if you're doing photography please print it on photopaper- eh?), an atc you made with your new technique, a story/poem/excerpt from something you wrote, a copy of the comic strip you drew... etc.

This is pretty free for all in what you send, so send what makes sense for your project.

Please comment below what you wish you did more of so you can't weiner out of it.

You will have a full month from sign up to send, so not only will you have time to do what you want to do- you will have time to practice and send something you are happy with.

Inspired by all of @bigmamabird 's gorgeous doodly zines- I want to make an illustration heavy zine for once. I've always relied on mixed media and lots of writing for my zines and it's getting predictable.

OK, I'm working on two things out of my comfort zone... a zine and writing... embracing these challenges!

Yeah, I will work on doing a written zine, no idea what it will be about but this time the words will tell the story, not the doodles! Just beware of all the spelling and grammar mistakes...

I want to incorporate some kind of needlework in to an ATC or postcard or something similar!

I got a set of Pan Pastels that I've been afraid of using. So I'm gonna use 'em.
