Hiver: A Zine for MidWinter

Oh my lovelies, it’s finally here! Can you believe it? After a year of waiting in the dark, my very first attempt at a zine has made it off the presses and can soon be in your warm, cupped hands! I’m holding my breath with the excitement and (small) miracle of it all!

Here it is, complete with ad copy!

This precious little ‘zine is hot off the xerox and ready to bless your wintry home. Make your hibernation place a sacred space with prayers, songs, and tiny rites. Host a mid-winter supper with comfort-food recipes and a list of tunes to defrost by. And best of all, there’s a take-away prize tucked inside! (Just like a box of Cracker Jacks!)

Twenty-four hand-lettered pages fill this 5inch ‘zine with homemade words and images. Yours for the price of a greeting card, and ever so much more nourishing!

To order:

Email moi@magpie-girl.com with your address and you’ll receive a paypal invoice.
$4.00 each (includes shipping)

(p.s. This is just the art for the cover. I’ll post a real photograph tomorrow so you can see the cunning Japanese style hand-sewn binding, complete with a twig from my Hawthorn and a tiny recycled glass bead!)

[...] And one more resource just in: my friend Rachelle who is the Urban Abbess is now also Magpie Girl, and is also releasing her very first zine. The first issue is Hiver: A Zine for Midwinter (Hiver is French for winter) and only $4 to get an issue of it. I haven’t seen it yet, but knowing Rachelle I am sure it is delightful and you know how much I adore winter. [...]
