Love seeing the latest editions of Wipe here! I sent prints to them once in 2019 and am cogitating about what I do next for it - but also want to do something for KART. Too many possibilities!

WIPE #123 has arrived in Greece from Australia. It is a fab project of David Dellafiora, and fascinating to see all the types of toilet tissues from around the world.

Easy is to rubber  or eraser hand stamp 40 pieces of tissue :-)

WoW, Jennifer, thank you so very much for all the helpful information about bindings! Coptic binding is the one I was trying to remember a few days ago and couldn't. I need to learn that technique for sure. :-) I really appreciate the information and the link. I'm off to check it out right now. Thanks!!

Not a zine, not mail art, but a technique for attaching lots of big sheets of work together in a wonderful way! Though it does lose material into the binding margin.

Click on the right of the screen to see all the images - and there's a slide-over information section on the right that you have to click to see.

Terry - The sort of binding Michael'#s showing here is often referred to as Japanese binding, and you'll find instructions online for this basic form and lots of fancy variations. It's really easy - I was taught it as a child.

For something which opens out flat, not losing a margin at the spine, look at Coptic binding. More complicated, but literally been around a long, long time, so very tried and trusted.

If you're the sort who likes printed instructions for this sort of thing to work from, I'd recommend any of Alisa Golden's books - they're probably the best for the quality of instructions for making more forms of book than you might ever want to know about. I started with one of her books, have used others, and gone back to hers.
