Creative Minds Wanted

 

Creative Lane Zine is seeking contributors! Since our first issue is now being kept at the State Library, we would like to start our second issue and keep the creative lane zine going!

We are looking for creative people who are interested in craft, illustration, designs, films, photography, writing, interview with local artists, home decoration, reporting local cafe or shops, etc etc.Content and pages are not limited but should be children friendly and not offensive.

Send me a copy of your work in A4 pdf or photoshop format with a brief description of yourself (where you base, email? website? etc) and we'll be in touch!

Unfortunately we cannot afford to pay all the contributors at the moment, but all your hard work will be noted and thank at the first page and your own page. We are hoping to make it a paid job as soon as we get any funding!!

Hello Sandwich

 

 

Have you heard of Hello Sandwich? The Tokyo based Australian artist? I am so addicted reading her blog, her zines and her new book! Check out her photo album and blog for some DIY inspiration for this weekend! 
Enjoy!

Handmade Romance

I am so addicted to Melbourne artist Evie's Handmade Romance blog. I found her blog through Craft Victoria. Apparently they had a event called Needle Work Needle Play and it seems so much fun!! I wish we can have this kind of thing in Sydney!

Easy DIY Artwork

Found a nice and easy DIY artwork tutorial at the Refinery 29 and I think this would be a cool weekend DIY project! The concept of this DIY is quite basic but when you know the technique of it, your imagination can transform into many different artworks!

Sadly...

I just realized some of my favorite Sydney artists has to close down or limited their crafty business because they have to go back to the full time workforce.... it's such a hard and painful decision. How many of us have dream to be our own boss and do what we like for a living? But the reality is family and standard of living always come first. I have been working full time and running the business since uni, it's hard and sometimes I feel so trapped but at the end of the day, you've got to pay the bills. So now instead of complain about it, I see Creative Lane and my designs business as an outlet to free myself (my creative brain) from my full time job. I remember once my boss said to me, "it's good you have something to do outside work, you have something to hold on to, otherwise what's the point of living?"
I wish my creative friends all the best.
