Sloper SOLD OUT!!
a mostly crafty zine
$4/34 pages/Half size
by Alex
I get sloppy silly over craft zines, you can never have enough of them. Alex writes, "The problem with addictions is that they grow. You start out with some rubber stamps and figure,"Eh, I'll just make some cute stationary," and the next thing you know you've got floor-to-ceiling shelves in your spare room just to house all of your inks and brushes and fabric scraps." Inside you'll find tutorials for a comic book curtain, futuristic foliage hair clips, freezer paper stencils, album cover calendar, drinking buddy puppet, lace printing and doll parts crown. There is also crafty talk about a commercialism - free xmas and more!

Karen's layout is incredible! She has partially printed this issue in color as well as on colorful paper.

CLIT
Feminist DIY Guide
$3/32 pages/Half size
by Adriana
I was as equally excited about the title of this diy zine as I was by Adriana's wonderfully blunt approach when she discussed each of the topics in this guide. The contents inside consist of
aftercare instructions for nipple piercings, Condom 101: the world of polyurethane, PMS tips, and some in depth remedies for a yeast infection. There are also tutorials for making your own bug repellent spray and a vegan bondage whip. She also includes a great deal of information regarding animal rights, animal liberation, vivisection, animal testing & capitalism and a huge list of companies who test on animals.
