The Golden Hour

Prepping all the tiny zines for Chicago Zine Fest!

Ah, The Golden Hour… that magical time when the sun is low in the sky and the light travels through the atmosphere in an ultra warm and ethereal way. I love that this time of day has a name, and I made a tiny zine about it!

Chicago Zine Fest is Next Saturday May, 20!

I’m folding a bunch of ultra-tiny zines in preparation for Chicago Zine Fest next weekend! I wasn’t initially planning to go nuts with ultra mini zines, but after they were a hit at Milwaukee Zine Fest, I decided to go for it!

As you can imagine, assembling a large quantity of mini zines requires a lot of trimming, folding, and making a mess of my coffee table! It’s one of those meditative, repetitive tasks that is perfect to do with a podcast or favorite TV show playing in the background. I have about 25 folded and maybe… 75 to go?! I better get cracking!
