A Craftivism Zine For You By Me

I had a chance to collaborate with Mindy Tsonas Choi of the Be Seen Project on some craftivism mashup workshops and I walked away INSPIRED. Mindy taught us all about the rich history of zines and how to make an 8-page zine. I figured it was the perfect way to share some inspiration and insight into my approach to craftivism.

Please feel free to take it, make it, and share it.

AND thanks to the amazing duo of Montserrat Vargas and Alicia R. Sixtos, the zine has been interpreted into Spanish!
