Count me in.

My first customer! Thanks De Villo :-) X

[Ptrzia (TICTAC)]

me too! :-)

[De Villo Sloan]

Is there any easy way to translate this to whether it's a standard A4 or A5 page? Sorry, I am always dense with this. If not, I can just do cms.

[cheryl penn]

You're right - sorry - A5 - thanks.

[cheryl penn]

This is more fun than selling cookies at the roadside - thanks TICTAC.  Was looking at your stamps today in sheer envy - you're such a clever thing! X

[De Villo Sloan]

And to be perfectly clear, we submit two pages of actual art (both sides of 1 physical page) X 27 copies.

[cheryl penn]

Many thanks for the inbox messages I am receiving - I think we're well on our way :-) X

[John M. Bennett]

Thank you all :-) - Sue NO PROBLEM - ASK!!! Its generally a lack of clear explanation that creates questions. BUT - you seem to have it - 27 pages double sided, signed, size A5, posted to me.  I will collate the pages and post the participants a zine back.  X

[Nancy Bell Scott]

Better confirm here too: count me in.  From what DVS said, we do a double-sided page, and so it's 27 x both sides of the one page?  Am confused.  Again.  Sorry!

[cheryl penn]

Hey Fancy Bell - you can do both sides or one - up to you - eg sign and title the back page - ESPECIALLY you who hand delvers on every page! Most artists as contributors to Zines make an original and copy it - in this instance, 27 times. I will be hand altering - just because I'm a nut.  Tiziana - great - and Marcela and Rebecca - thank you for joining.  X
