If you were here last week, you know I've been diving into zines: tiny little folded booklets of poems (or just thoughts) - often, and in this case as well - folded out of a single sheet of A4 paper. As it is a learning process of mine, but with a clear result, I decided to share them here so that you can download, print, and send or give them to whomever. To share kindness, love. Not only for Valentine's Day, of course, but why not start like now? If you mean it all year round anyway?

Last week, I shared two self-written zines - you can access them here:

4.) Fold them like this:

Be smarter than this person over here - and mind the printer's settings, else it might adjust the pdf by cutting off edges and guess who will need to trim them later? (But also, fear not - zines are about love and being imperfect, no pristinness here, none!)

And voila! You've got a zine to love, to gift - to share.
