Or maybe your child is sad they can't do something they really want to be good at?  My name is Beth, and there's a lot I can't do too. I can't do cartwheels, I can't skate, and I can't play any musical instruments. But that's okay! We're all capable of learning new things, and maybe you'll try that new thing and r…

This is an 8-page pocket-sized zine created using a prompt from the Zine Idea Generator to "make a blackout poem zine that shows screenshots from your camera roll."  I went a couple steps further with this challenge and limited myself to only screenshots that were already on my phone, and to take no new screenshots for the purpose of using in this zine. I also made the black out poetry from scree…

The prompt for July 6-10 was Throwback, with instructions to "Take us back to the …

I mean... My name is Beth, Elizabeth is one of the best characters ever, what more can I say? Seriously though, BioShock Infinite is one of my favorite games of all time. The story is incredible, and there are some absolutely remarkable quotes. One of them really hit home for me due to my terrible memory: "The mind of the subject will desperately struggle to create memories where none exist."  T…

An 8-page zine written for the #zinetober23 challenge on Instagram posted by Julia from Munich Zine Library. The prompt for October 2-6 was Fanzine, with instructions to "Create a zine about something you are a fan of (music, movies, artists, etc.)". I chose 90s music because it's when I'd started buying my own CDs to listen to in my car. A lot of that era of music carries a big dose of nostalgia …
