{Three in the Kitchen all done and dusted with spices.}

A warm Thursday evening and as promised, our zine, Three in the Kitchen, is now available.

Shari, Louise and I have been tinkering on this zine for some time now. At one point, early in the piece, we considered making a collaborative zine on the seasons. At another, a zine about morning and evening was bandied about (we may still get to that one). This zine has changed in theme, page length and layout. Initially earmarked as a sixteen-page number it ballooned, as all things culinary can, to the twenty-page zine you see before you now.

It’s been a little while in the making and, were money of no object, we would have loved to photocopy a few pages in colour. As it is you shall have to imagine the orange-red glow of the tomato in Tom’s hand, and you will have to picture the green patterned trim on the plate in another of Shari’s photographs of her most enviable and seemingly idyllic North Carolina life.

So, here is our zine, all finished and waiting to be loved. Inside you’ll find a recipe or two, a handful of collages and various inky drawings. I, we, hope it fits the bill and was worth the wait.

Find it on etsy here.

{What Do You Think? (Misha and Dixie seem to approve.)}

Also making its debut, What Do You Think?, a new twenty page zine by me. It makes no reference to kitchens and savoury eats but I hope it, too, will amuse you.

Find it on etsy here.

Now before I flee for the advent of daylight savings time here has somehow aligned itself with more work to do, please check out the good machinery also on etsy. I think her work is wonderful and I ought to know for one of her Sketchbook Stories has just arrived by post.

And please remember, if you hanker to show me your wheels you have until the 15th to send me or email me your photo or image or drawing. I do hope you’ll play along. Actually, lets extend it to Sunday evening… I’d hate for anyone to miss out and I’m ever so curious, don’t you know?
