Things I made in 2014....

I don't often post on this blog, I think it's because I post more on the Sugar Paper Zine blog and don't want to feel like I am repeating myself.
But seeing as this is mostly a news place for the art and zines I make I thought it might be nice to see what I have done in the past year (and because I am procrastinating!)


Zine wise I put out the usual, two issues of Sugar Paper and an issue of Poor Lass zine.


 I also made a couple of more personal zines. One called Brown Girl, which was mostly about, me being a Brown Girl. It had a great response, so much so I am currently working on issue 2, that I want to feature more voices than just my own! the other one I made was a mini one page zine I did during International zine month about Becoming an Artist.


A zine first for me was making a zine mostly digitally! So no cutting and sticking or hard copy! this was the zine I made for the All Of Them Witches project I did at Halloween. It was good to learn new skills, but for now I am happy with a pair of scissors in one hand and a glue stick in the other!

Yiiikes! had another outing, creating an upside down living room for Baduncle at Sounds from the Other City and winter saw The glowing world of Snotboobs make another appearance.

I started on a new series of felt works that was a severed head with Medusa plaits under a bell jar, sadly life/being slow/other projects got in the way of completing this but 2015 is the year.

As mentioned the zine for All Of Them Witches was part of a project I did at Halloween where I made small felt depictions of 12 of my favourite fictional witches!

My favourite commission of the year was to do the cover of Weezer's Blue album! (sadly I am rubbish at taking/remembering to take decent photos of my work!)

In 2015 I look forward to more zine making (I want to write one about people's favourite spaces) finishing projects I start, making more art and noise with Yiiikes!

It might interest some people that I got modern and joined Instagram in 2014 and post pictures of my socks and snacks and cats and the art I make! Go follow me @seleenalavernedaye
