Papery ideas come to fruition.

{Have Wheels, Will Go now exists as an actual zine and I am elated beyond belief. (Please, click to enlarge.)}

Two days in to a new and promising week and I have two new things I am keen to share with you... two new zines recently completed.

Have Wheels, Will Go is now an actual zine in my hands. A request sent out in October yielded much happy interest and thirty-one brilliant replies. Replies from many of you whom I know and many I have never 'met' until now.

Thank-you Jenifer Altman, Dianne Beevers, Kelly Boucher, Kim Burrell, Anastasia Christou, Isobel Clement, Fliss Dodd, Abby Dubisar, Janelle Dunstan, Brydie Dyson, Jessica Eskelsen, Carolyn Fraser, Risa Friedman, María Fuks, Elaine Haby, Peter Haby, Louise Jennison, Alicja Kuzmycz, Priscilla Chung-Yee Kwok, Andrea Lampman, Daphne Louter, Glenn Manton, Veronica Torres-Miller, C. Nurkemala Muliani, Bette Poulakos, Kylie Robson + Hesse, Jurate Sasnaitis, Kay "Motorlegs" Shannon, Jenny Vorwaller, Rachael Weaver and Barbara Wolters.

It was more than thrilling to receive such wonderful photographs, and paintings, too, via email. Thank you to everyone involved for sharing your much loved family photographs and for posing so brilliantly alongside favourite cars... you've made this zine possible. MGs, Ford Transists, toy cars and dirt bikes, Fiats and Coronas, BMWs roadside at Red Hill Lookout, Topolinos in Milano and an old '49 Dodge... I am so delighted you decided to show me your wheels. Thank you.

Have Wheels, Will Go is an edition of 100, and, to all of you who took part, a free zine is winging its way to you by way of thanks.

In addition to this, I have just, with Louise's ever gracious help and increasing night owl tendencies, put the final touches on Postcards from... A trapdoor in every room. A 24 page zine, this one is an edition of sixty and it is a bookend to Postcards from... If we stand very still, no one will notice.

Expect to find a penguin demonstrating the Milano two step, and to witness a fine balancing act going unnoticed at the New York Zoological Gardens. From Beirut to the Canadian Rockies by way of Japan and Montevideo, I wish you only happy travels.

I hope you enjoy these two new zines, and thank you once again.

You will find these new zines, in addition to being available individually, in various merry groupings (to help you save on postage), here and here.

I have many more exciting things to share with you, but for now they shall have to wait. This post is getting a little too long and the garden beckons.

Love it! Congrats to you on a brilliant idea, it looks great. I'm just sorry I didn't manage to find a good car to pose alongside for you!

Another zine to swoon over...you guys are a non-stop factory line for eye-candy. Congrats on both of them!

Oooh girls, where do you find the time?? Another great zine. Sadly my little friend the yellow Fiat 500 called bambino is momentarily not in our street but under a warm roof in the North of Holland so the weather won't catch him. Although he's quite happy there he is also sad not to be in the zine! :-) xxx
