Illuminating Letters: making magic

Embracing the childhood joy of a silly craft project

Dear reader,

Heading into winter has got me thinking about childhood Christmases, which were all about crafts for me.

This month’s physical copy is not really a zine, but I’m not sure what else to call it. I wanted to package up the magic so you could enjoy it to, so I’ve made a zine-phenakistoscope hybrid that features the phenakistoscope I made, instructions to make your own (including a link to a pdf template and more in-depth instructions if you’re that way inclined) and a bit of history too. As always you can pick up a copy in my store.

I’m biased but I think zines are the perfect stocking or card stuffer. So I wanted to offer newsletter readers 15% off any orders on any zines, past or present, placed between now and last orders for Christmas on 16th December with the code ILLUMINATION.

Write/draw again soon,
