Cool 'zines...

...and so I open my mailbox very tentatively...



...expecting the same old, same old as I've been getting the last few days. You know, bills and junkmail, etc. etc. It's been one of those weeks mail-wise, which means the mail-gods and goddess' are telling me I need to make and send off more mail-art.
I've been a bit on the lazy side of late...but I did post 3 items yesterday, so that should merit some kind of postal goody, shouldn't it? And, it does...



...a very colourful envelope containing these very cool 'zines made by my Twitter friend, Jessica, of the fine blog Nature's My Friend, which I implore you all to check out. "Mountains Made Of Fur", I know she had made when she and I were both suffering with tendonitis at the same period of time. Her "tweets" about creating it inspired me to make my "Canadian Space Agency Artist Trading Cards" (as seen below; it could be done on a computer with Photoshop or whatever.).



"Who? Hoo!" is filled with her delicate, yet bold drawings of one of my favorite creatures on this planet (there's a reason why Harry Potter had an owl and not a rat. No offense to the rats. Really.). I also love the surprise centres of both 'zines and how they fold out. Really clever.

Well, Jessica, you've done it again and inspired me!
