It was a different sort of group to the first workshop at Coorory library yesterday. They were less into cut and paste and construction and more into content and writing. The result was some amazing zines, but a lot of chaos when it came to book construction.
What fun it is to see people sit down and write like that. To just pick up a pen or pencil or sit at a computer and the words flow.It was also fun to have two sisters in the class who worked collaboratively on a great little book about a tree and the cycle of life. It was one of my favourites from the day.
I'll be posting some images of the zines here and on our ISSUU site soon.
Alternative Publishing is an Australian project that seeks to explore simple, cheap and effective ways people can get their ideas, writing, stories out into the public arena, either on the internt or not. It's for writers, makers of books, zinesters, poets, and anyone with an interest in how things work in the world of self publishing.

More Postcards - Favourite of the Week
This is the second cool postcard we have had from Leigh, Russ, Lowana and Stevie. Thanks guys. Someone in the family is a great drawer. Their cards are about their love of the laid back beach lifestyle of the Sunshine Coast. You can read what they say, and see more of the cards on the Flickr site HERE. So far beach, surf, sand and sea are hands down favourites as the things we think identify the Sunshine Coast.
