Hi Y'all
been kinda busy with dodging the horendous rain and wind here in Mayo and zoning in on all things cozy and interior .
It was so horrid , I gave my market stall a miss yesterday (anyone lend me a tenner ?)
I have just made an installation in the museum of country life , its temporary ,responding to our feelings around home and involved over 20 artists , mostly working outside, lucky me escaped the elements and was to be found importantly placing primroses around a dolls house inside........you know , all in a days work !!
BUT the bit I really enjoyed making was the zine.
I bought a mini zine from nathalia of stitchy press when I was at the independants day fair last year with our very own tinderbox heartstrings collection song drawings extravaganza.
I put it away and then was reminded of this super handy and so do-able format when I spied it on miss maiques totally smashing blog.
As you can see it is a mere A4 page ,folded in a certain way ,which I cut and pasted manually my images and then got photocopied to give away to those clever enough to spy the little message within my museum within a museum .
If you are really more than interested there are simply loads more images and info on my very own blog ..ok ?

Jane, congratulations,
As for that one-A4-zine, it was Phil Barrett (known for silent world domination through www.blackshapes.com) who taught it to me.
Your A4zine looks so lively!
And the concept of the exhibition, of representing home through a doll house I find strong and layered, I like it a lot.
:]
