Halloween Zine! I made this in october 2023, but I don’t think I ever fully shared it here because some were sent to tumblr mutuals and I wanted it to be a surprise.

I made only about 25 of these to send to friends, and it involved a lot of hands-on work after printing to assemble them all, between the different paper types, cut outs, highlighter, stick-ins, and hand-stitched binding. featuring:

  • cut-out cover to make it look like a glowy jack-o-lantern, each zine copy had different faces, and i used 4 different shades of orange cardstock for all the covers
  • translucent metallic gold endpapers
  • removable recipes printouts, so I wasn’t as limited by paper size and so people could transfer them to their own recipe books. i used scrapbooking corners to hold them in place
  • favorite seasonal media, leaf types, and candies
  • a flip book section!!! i have always loved the “build your own creature” 3-segment style books, so wanted to do one with halloween monsters. Settled on witch, alien, and mermaid for it, plus a space for people to add their own
  • i also like the idea of zines involving some form of craft for the reader to participate in too, so the make-your-own witch hat page; and the second jack-o-lantern on the back cover for the reader to “carve” themselves
  • in addition to whatever coloring or doodles they felt like adding on their own to the leaves, candy, monsters, etc

this remains my most ambitious and involved zine to date! 🧡

Driveway Follies

If you're ever in Oakland for Halloween, the puppet show put on by Driveway Follies is an absolute must. It filled me with so much joy. The shows are about 20-30 minutes long and they run multiple for many days. All the puppets are handmade marionettes and the artistry is fantastic. What a beautiful way to keep the skill alive and make the community richer <3
