Hi Cheryl - everyone! I would love to participate, the title is just great.

Please, have patience with a newbie, first question why 27 pages?

[cheryl penn]

Carina - I make 27 Zines from the pages  I receive and post each of the participants a copy. One copy will go into the collection and one copy will be used for people to page through at the exhibition - does that help?

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

Thus we number the pages 1/27, 2/27. 3/27...etc.

Not 1/25....Cheryl, i think you just answered my question :-) 

[cheryl penn]

Good :-)! I often wonder what happens with the extra zines - I know about Re-Site' s extra's but not the rest - but I have probably just not read up enough. Bowing to time, its a Big Boss!!!

[cheryl penn]

I will be away for a few days from Wednesday. If anyone has queries, nows the time!!
