Annual Church Pic Nic Zine Good day my friends, I bring glad tidings. It has been decided our annual church pic nic shall be an excursion to Cutty Island, that long strip of land in the Farrow River, further down by Old Carson’s Mill. Lady Caroline, Lady Elizabeth and Mrs. Wallis shall be providing the food for the day but you are most welcome to bring your own hamper if you prefer. The island, or eyot as it is termed, having exceptional views, a varied bird population and tales of the resident hermit to fuel the imagination, shall make for a fun-filled day. We will gather at the church, then walk down to the river’s edge where boats propelled by our able men of the village shall convey us to the island. Do let me know if you intend to join us for the day to ensure we have sufficient boats for the outing. It shall be a day of fond memory making for one and all. With anticipation of the day, I remain your friend, Mrs. Susan Medlyn For this swap, we will be creating a visual memory of the church pic nic outing. To do this, we will fashion a zine using THIS VIDEO as a guide. The pages shall be filled with thoughts, images and keepsakes, such as a leaf, a flower or some other little nothing that conjures up a memory of the day. Please fill at least 2 pages with writing and the rest as you will with drawings, images, and the like. The cover should bear the words “Annual Church Pic Nic” and may be decorated as you please. You must write your entries for the zine in character, but the note you include with your swap should be in your own voice. If you so desire, you may also include a note in character to your partner. Ideas for what to write or depict can be:
This list is for inspiration, feel free to write about or portray other things you may have experienced on the excursion. DETAILS We will have one partner for this swap for whom we shall fashion a zine. The title page should have these words “Annual Church Pic Nic.” Two of the inner pages should be handwritten or typed thoughts, and the remaining pages should contain images or keepsakes showing your impressions of the day. A note in your own voice should accompany your zine. You may also include a note in character if you wish, but it is not required. |
