This very special zine was created by Ines Estrada and Ginette Lapalme. This run of zines, of which there are only 30, were printed here in Toronto with the use of a Risograph printer and a hoard of different coloured papers.
Each zine is incredibly unique! There are 8 collaborative animal themed drawings printed within, as well as many scraps of beautiful patterned and handmade papers added. Each booklet is lovingly decorated by Ginette or Ines (this one by me). It’s filled with many stickers, unique doodles, stamps and glitter. ♥
This text was written by my friend Ginette! She also took beautiful pictures of another one of these, which you can see at her tumblr.

QR codes, I forgive you.
This “street art” is a virtual library. The codes link directly to the books to read or download. This is the only time I’ve actually found myself warming, just a tiny amount, to QR codes.
Nice idea.
The amazingly talented Elsita produces more amazing work. This time using the medium of small book art.
This miniature artist’s book is about the journey that life is. The first element inside the book is a colorful pop-up bird that raises up when you open the first page. This bird represents freedom and our ability to reach goals.
Following the bird, inside the accordion pages, there is also a snake going through a landscape with four trees. Each tree represents one of the four seasons of life (Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring). The snake symbolizes the struggles that many of of us face while going through the different stages of life (or seasons).
With this book I want to celebrate the amazing journey that life is. Both sides of life, the dark side and the bright one, are important because they make us wiser and stronger.
Every element was carefully made by hand paying lots of attention to detail. It took several hours to complete the 4 editions of this book. Each piece looks just like the book in the pictures.
